Male African golden web orb spiders have two penises, both of which drop off during sex.

[Twiglett]

so now you know

That does raise an obvious question about the anatomy of the female golden web orb spider!

Or the likelyhood of spider threesomes.

i thought spiders didnt have a penis at all?

blimey! surprised you havent linked a pic to us twiglett. wouldnt mind seeing one in a pervy spidery sort of way

and he'll be lucky to make it 30 seconds past orgasm because female spiders ususally eat the male during sex.

.. I had to google them (it was a snippet from a newspaper)

Breeding: The male is many times smaller than the female, some are 1,000 smaller! There are suggestions that it is not a case of the males being dwarves, but the females being giants! The male is so tiny that he can live on the female's web, stealing her food, often without her even noticing him. She may not even notice that he has crept up and inseminated her! Nevertheless, just to be sure, he usually does the deed when she is feeding. In some, mating can take up to 15 hours! The female lives only slightly longer than the male.

So the male is like a little parasite trying to have sex with the female while she is distracted by food...sounds a bit familar somehow....

Ugh. everything about spiders is utterly disgusting...
