Sex is matter of life, then death for male marsupials - Polidicks

[QUOTE]A new study suggests that some species of marsupials mate with such vigour and intensity that it quite literally kills them. The scientists say that males die in large numbers after mating with as many partners as possible in sex sessions lasting up to 14 hours at a time. A key factor in this costly coitus is the promiscuous behaviour of females who all breed at the same time of year.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-24443104[/url]

[quote]sex sessions lasting up to 14 hours at a time.[/quote] Holy fuck

Competitive mating? Thats a strange development. [QUOTE]A key factor in this costly coitus is the promiscuous behaviour of females who all breed at the same time of year.[/QUOTE] I wonder how that would work for humans.

iirc some small rodents(?) do this as well, where they fuck for literally hours in small dens or holes and they die of exhaustion. Neat way to die.

[QUOTE=Cabbage;42458735]Neat way to die.[/QUOTE] i'm not so sure, given that the vast majority of creatures on this planet only fornicate for reproduction and not pleasure. dying from exhaustion of something you do not do for pleasure does not sound like the best way to die.

It's just not nearly as.. "cool."

Marsupial matriarchy at it again

[QUOTE=Carnotite;42458961]It's a biological imperative, so I imagine they want to do it regardless of whether they really enjoy it or not. It's just not nearly as.. "cool."[/QUOTE] Isn't it so that it's a biological imperative and so most beings also experience some form of pleasure, to reinforce their will to reproduce?

One might say their females are [I]To die for[/I]

Sometimes I feel like one day I will just wank myself to death
