Don’t touch him there!!!

Australia’s flatworm pseudoceros bifurcus is a hermaphrodite. In order to copulate, they stab each other with their penises- a practice dubbed “penis fencing” by very bored scientists. These are the critters that porn was made for! But “stabbing” does not mean “fencing”. Besides, only one out of every six of their strikes leads to successful insemination, and when it’s over, they’re both left on the bathhouse floor, severely wounded. Emotionally as well as physically. I only bring it up because the symptoms sounds awfully familiar? At least to me...
