[QUOTE]The key problems being:
First, dinosaur ladies and dinosaur gentlemen were roughly the same size. No big/little asymmetry as with spiders. With spiders, the little fellow mounts the big lady. There are no body-crushing weight issues.
Second, dinosaurs often had huge tails right above where the opening would be. What do you do with those tails? Where do you put them that's out of the way? They're huge.
And third, some dinosaurs are covered with spikes, plates and barbs. So it's the porcupine problem: How do you make contact without getting hurt?

where's key
KeyInSkillee must be the source of information for this news
who's that one guy who's sexually attracted to dinos on here again?

oh wow, ninja'd
[quote]Well, that's not quite true. Someone in Germany found two 47-million-year-old turtles mating, one well inside the other. As they were doing this, a big hunk of mud fell on top of them and froze them in place.[/quote]
Worse ways to go.
With the spikey ones, maybe they back into one-another? Also I'm assuming dinosaurs had cloacas rather than dicks, like most reptiles.

Well I must say, I am curious.
dino cock
Schlongosaurus
they do it like this

Since crocodiles and non-neoavian birds (Palaeognathes, most anseriformes and some galliformes) have penises I think it's safe to assume that (most) dinosaurs had them too.
And who says all male dinos had to be right above the females to copulate? Maybe male critters like Stegosaurus had mobile penises like whales and elephants and used them to penetrate the female while being right next to her instead of mounting her.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;41737399]Schlongosaurus[/QUOTE]
I knew this Ethiopian girl named "Kalkidan", everyone pronounced it "cock-a-don" like some kind of phallic dinosaur
Maybe like many modern reptiles, just get close and the male sprays sperm on the female's prehistoric ladyparts.
Some fishes do all of it externally, the female sprays the eggs out and the male sprays on em and voilà
Dunno, these 2 ways take the weight problem out of the frame, there might be more.

I'm pretty sure they do what birds do, that makes the most sense.
[quote="The article"]So the "ouch" problem hasn't been solved. I mean, the dinosaurs solved it — obviously. But we, with our big subtle brains and our computers and our wonderful imaginations, we are stumped[/quote]
Just imagine all the knowledge we could have gleaned from them had they not gone extinct. So many secrets lost in time...

there is always a limit of how much info about dino boning you can get from dino bones
Maybe they had corkscrew genitalia like lake ducks?

Pretty sure that was from the phalleotolic era.

That's a fairly recent development in duck evolution
