Octopus Mating Practices - Tumblr Posts

I was not aware

Fellow monster fuckers and freaks, were you AWARE that tentacle porn is based in truth? Because I sure as shit wasn’t. I, like I assume many others, thought that though hot, tentacles used for day to day movement having legitimate sexual purposes was untrue. A work of fiction from horny minds. I was wrong.

I was curious you see, because I got to thinking ‘well now how /do/ octopi mate?’ Turns out, -/TURNS OUT/- that on a male octopus, their reproductive organ is actually their third tentacle on their right side. It’s a modified tentacle, a ‘specialized appendage’ if you will, called a hectocotylus, a mating arm. (Also a good portion on the end doesn’t have sucker cups) And squid have the same thing for the most part.

Depending on the species, the male can use it just as a conduit to the female how other species use a penis, or they might wrench it off and present it to the female for her to use herself. Either way Insemination is accomplished.

SO—the point of this is, is that characters getting fucked by the cephalopod-ish eldritch horror’s tentacles and them /actually/ coming inside them like that, is not so unrealistic. It’s just one tentacle that can do the cumming, but still, I just can’t believe I hadn’t thought of it before now.

~~~~~Not really relevant, but most of the time during octopus mating, the male will just sit beside the female and casually place the mating tentacle in like the most awkward copulation you’ll see. It’s kinda cute and funny looking.
