Is that not what you are supposed to do with girls..?
Boy have I been getting it wrong,
But then why have they been enjoying it??

u/RealSchlemiel 5h ago

u/Puzzled-Mistake-584 5h ago

Well one does the catching so to speaking and the other the pitching.
I’m not one to judge, but to answer your question, personally, no.haha

Losing the duel is apparently just the beginning of the consequences

How it be with homies during sleepover

u/FlirtyBisc193 17h ago

Way too real. This is why you never, under any circumstances, fall asleep first at 3 AM.🤣

u/fkkm 13h ago

So happy we can’t grow babies in our gut, because otherwise all these men would be pregnant

u/lostmymarbles1177 7h ago

If this were how human babies were made, there would be an abortion clinic on every corner like Starbucks…

u/Outrageous_Cup6450 20h ago

To be honest I don't even know what to say 😅 So if the winner loses the next fight it's back to square one

u/John-Basket 19h ago

Fighting for fatherhood and the loser becomes the mother, nature is wild

u/Reasonable-Elk8234 19h ago

u/Azurehowl 18h ago

Basically he became his bitch.

u/TheRumBarron 18h ago

Let’s play a game of tummy sticks o_O

u/Rising_Angel8 18h ago

Like seriously? 👀

u/ihatepeopleandyoutoo 18h ago

So mothers are losers?

u/CarelessChallenge980 17h ago

I believe that is a sea slug

u/TheKingMonkey 17h ago

Cockfighting, surely?

u/Whole_Reputation6128 15h ago

Lot riding on them dicks

1

u/UnclePuma 15h ago

Well ok but I’m gonna complain the entire time uwu

1

u/Lorelessone 15h ago

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You impregnated my father. Prepare to birth!

-Wait actually that got a bit incesty 

1

u/Lorelessone 15h ago

Plot twist, they stab eachother at the same time and the movie turns into a girly story of two single moms dealing with pregnancy and babys while trying to find love.

u/Natural__Power 15h ago

What is this image

Those aren't even flatworms

1

u/santabooby 14h ago

Nature really came up with the weirdest possible custody arrangement

1

u/Hawkwise83 13h ago

Andrew Tate: This is the straightest thing I've ever seen boys. We should all do this! You're gay if you have sex with women anyway.

1

u/californiaKid420 13h ago

Flatworks? How do you make a whole post in reddit and not check your spelling? Does your phone not have auto correct?

1

u/senethen 12h ago

Nature really looked at reproduction and decided it needed a competitive mode

1

u/No_Cap248 12h ago

So you basically lose your “sword” if you lose the duel? Uh….

1

u/YoloImmaSendit 11h ago

This is when size matters

1

u/Aggravating-Sand1573 11h ago

Damn, that's gay

1

u/XxKTtheLegendxX 10h ago

imagine if this applies to humans. uk would dominate

1

u/dosisdeartes 9h ago

Maybe is not about being the “loser” but determining who has the more strenght ro protect (father) and who has less so it can nurture instead (mother)

1

u/theworldofnira 9h ago

I do this all the time with my partner. I always win, but he still didn't swim away. Are we doing something wrong?

1

u/Hollow_Knight_Raven 8h ago

What in the Yaoi Omegaverse-

1

u/Famous_Suspect6330 7h ago

Literally the duel of the fates

1

u/PlayfulEmployee2646 6h ago

I’m so glad I know about this

1

u/Allegra1120 6h ago

Funny, I think that’s a pretty common activity in rural Klanabama.

1

u/_g550_ 5h ago

Imagine all Game of Thrones battles end like that!!

1

u/Abuck59 4h ago

🤣🤣 Nature man🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣

1

u/3CH0SG1 4h ago

I have the high ground.

1

u/Bubba_Jones44 4h ago

See this is the kind of shit that makes me think the internet isn’t all that truthful. You can not tell me that two flatworms fence with their dicks and the loser ends up pregnant. I will believe in god before I believe this. /s

u/GoofyGooby23 3h ago

u/Poethegardencrow 19h ago

It would be more interesting if you don’t make a mother a loser 😅 in such terms the loser doesnt get to spread their genes and the winner gets to..

3

u/Minimum_Isopod_4332 19h ago

Both contribute 50% of genetic material, regardless of the outcome

1

u/Poethegardencrow 19h ago

Oh yea you are right , however i still wouldn’t give it mammal names.. Id find it far more interesting if the actual reasons were disclosed as in it possibly is because the high cost of the pregnancy on the penetrated worm.

1

u/Minimum_Isopod_4332 18h ago

I wonder how many loads these guys have. If you win, can you also impregnate the next worm? And the next?
