Slug Sex: A Proof

So I went to the the museum Sunday and realized why I really am so fascinated and enamored by slug sex. 
For your voyeuristic pleasure:

1. It's sparkly. (Step aside, Edward Cullen.)

2. They are utterly detached from the world. With the exception of that one branch from which they so precariously hang, nothing else is needed, nothing else matters. The only thing they are touching is each other. How romantic! <3

3. They fully intertwine and encompass one another in the process. Their bodies don't get in the way of closeness /intimacy because they are literally wrapped up and held in each other's physicality.

4. They both have penises which not only bloom (like sakura flowers in mid-spring! none of that phallic skyscraper-sword violence and power imagery nonsense) but also are used to fertilize the other's eggs. There is no uneven power dynamic. It's the ultimate act of mutual-ness.
