The Noble Pagan Forums - Coral Spawning

Every year, two weeks after the August moon, the corals all around the world spawn for an hour or so. It is a mystery science can't figure out.
If any of you can think of spells to help the sea regenerate itself, [corals are base food chain and living habitats]... now is a great time to try and help the ocean.

Correction, this is not quite world wide, in August, but it is particularly in the Carribean/Florida, Gulf, after the August full moon, which I am most concerned about now. Corals around the world climax in August, but many spawn after full moon of June or July also. It has something to do with algae in summer.

That sounds like a wonderful idea. The ocean is so beautiful and coral itself is so amazing. I will think of something to help the ocean this week.

Well if you were only going to have sex once a year, you'd make damn sure you turned up at the right place at the right time...

Also fish - they don't have penetrative sex. lady fish just lay the eggs and the gents splosh their fishy spooge over the top. no wonder the sea is salty.

And don't get me started on sea cucumbers. Just don't go there.

With sea horses it's the daddies that get to carry all the babies in their special daddy baby belly pouch.

With octopi the female dies when she gives birth.

Some sharks give live birth ( as the eggs hatch inside mama....and in some cases the babies start feeding on each other before they even get out of mumsy).

And now you know.

Oh yea.....what was that about sea cucumbers?

Sea cucumbers... sound like harmless fruit of the sea, but nooo. If this was a porno it would be highly specialised, hehe.
Both partners start off as male, and both have armour-piercing penises. The courting dance consists of trying to stab you partner with your 'tool' while avoiding being penetrated yourself. The stabber is the 'winner' and gets to stay male, go down the pub, etc. The stabee *horror* becomes the female, and becomes pregnant from the new wound. Talk about adding insult to injury. He now She has to stay home and knit booties for the little cucumbers...

Similar to bed bugs. they have armour piercing penises also, and can also stab the female anywhere in her body to impregnate her. The even sicker thing is they can also pierce other males, and the attacker's sperm then takes over the balls of the victim. then if the victim ever 'gets lucky' in stabbing a female, he shoots his attacker's sperm into her.

Ain't nature wonderful.

Sounds a lot like snails......both are capable of stabbing and birthing.
Yay for stabby sex!
