I could have gone my entire life without knowing this.

:
Slugs are hermaphrodites, having both female and male reproductive organs.

Once a slug has located a mate, they encircle each other and sperm is exchanged through their protruded genitalia.

A commonly seen practice among many slugs is apophallation. The penis of these species is curled like a cork-screw and often becomes entangled in their mate's genitalia in the process of exchanging sperm. When all else fails, apophallation allows the slugs to separate themselves by one or both of the slugs chewing off the other's penis.

It's no big deal for slugs. Stop anthropomorphising Class Mollusca, you squeamish longpigs.

I had a feeling that it would be a different matter. Now BM has confirmed this.

Yeah. Scientifically speaking, slugs have absolutely no problem with having their genitalia removed by any means because they are so large in the first place that slugs never evolved any of the negative feelings towards their penis that we suffer from. They don’t ever feel as though theirs is inadequately small, they aren’t jealous of the penises and others, and they never even glance curiously at each other in the showers.

In fact, slugs are almost completely blazé about their penises, except when it comes to sexual matters (which to be fair is their only purpose in slugs). Because their dicks are so large, their weight increases drastically when they are unfurled, which is why they need to dangle from overhangs to procreate, lests they actually sink into the substrate during copulation and find themselves unable to get out again (slugs can only dig down, not up).

The other problem is that because their penises are super large, they actually have their own magnetic field. These fields interact repellantly, which is why slugs do that corkscrewing dance, but as they descend towards the ground, the magnetic field of the Earth grows stronger and the repel of the penises grows ever less significant, until finally they can touch.

This lesson is reproduction is brought to you by the letter P, and by the geomorphological landform ‘ness’.

I knew this. It also isn't that disturbing. Nature gets FAAAR worse than shemale dick munching.
