Prehensile penis?
NGL having a prehensile penis sounds like it’d be pretty cool
Not to mention probably quite popular with one’s partners as well
Though so giant it doesn’t fit sounds like quite the buzz kill
Now, that's just showing off

Can you give me an estimate of how many similarly disturbing facts I’d have to expect there. I’m not sure if I can do this •́ ‿ ,•̀

Are there any guesses as to why they evolved this way? What advantage does this have over penetrative sex?

Maybe it’s only advantageous if u spend most of your time hanging from a ceiling by your toes

So why might the serotine bat have evolved such an enormous sex organ? The authors suggest that females might use their tail membranes to avoid mating, and the males’ long, thick penises could be used to push that membrane aside. “The hollow structure observed in the dorsal side of the erect penis might serve as a suction cup and support the maintenance of the copulatory contact,” the authors wrote. “Therefore, the penis’s size, shape, and prolonged embrace might further support the transport of sperm cells into the vagina and through the long cervix.”

But did you want to know this? Admit it, you did a little bit.

On one hand, giant penis. On the other hand, never gets to have penetrative sex. Quite the spirit animal.

The human sphincter can stretch to 7 inches in diameter. A raccoon can squeeze into 4 inches. You do the math and draw your own conclusions.

You’re doing it wrong, bats.

Is it really seven times wider and seven times longer? Did a male serotine bat tell you that? And you believed it?

It sounds like someone made a wish to a genie and it was granted in the worst possible way.
