I’ve always thought the consummation of mammalian reproduction (sperm getting to egg, that is) was an analog of how primitive sea creatures reproduce: sponges, corals, and orders of life I don’t know spawn with tiny swimmers that use a variety of chemical clues to find their mark.
we just reproduce that ancient sea within ourselves (now that we have dragged ourselves up onto the land) and its the same old dance.
perhaps the biggest difference for us is that instead of spawning once a year, we try to keep it up all the time.
many puns not intended.
