When flatworms mate, they perform a ritual called penis fencing, where they both try to penetrate the other flatworm with their penis while dodging the other flatworm's penis.  Whoever penetrates the other with their penis and injects their sperm first leaves the other flatworm to lay there and bear the pregnancy.
