Valentine's Day romance tips from the animal kingdom because your love life could probably use some help. Watch katydids compete with sperm bubble gifts (some worth dying for), anglerfish males become literal parasites fused to their partners, flatworms battle in penis-fencing duels to decide who gets pregnant, and scorpions trick their mates with booby-trapped dance floors. Plus, porcupines spray high-velocity urine jets before mating, and bonobos use scissoring (GG rubbing) as both social bonding and genuine sexual behavior complete with orgasm faces and oxytocin spikes. Animal reproduction is way weirder than you think, and honestly, your dating problems aren't that bad.
Oh! And I wrote a book, so definitely make sure to grab it—Epic Earth out now!
