well male ducks have a penis lasso so its pretty much a genital arms race.

for all these defenses there are still tons of ducks out there. so the rapey males are winning

@GreyHammer: What this article says is that the twisty vag helps them prevent against unwanted suitors, that there is lower chance of insemination with forceful copulation. Implying I suppose that the twisty vag/peen combo works out if a couple takes their time at it. Reply
