squid insemination
The "traumatic insemination" of the female deep-sea squid
It's pitch black more than a mile down, so it's hard to find a mate anyway, but then for the smaller male, it's a demolition derby to get the sperm inside the female, and she finds the experience so awful that she gives motherhood just one shot, period. Said one researcher, "Reproduction is no fun if you're a squid." For one thing, the sperm deposit can be 3% of the female's total body weight. For another, in some species, there's no receptacle; the male just slashes her open somewhere and shoves the sperm in with his up-to-3-ft-long penis. For another, he could miss and accidentally stab himself, because it's dark. Spiegel Online

Every time I inseminate a female, it's traumatic...

For them or you?

Here's a tip, Ryan. If you have to cut them open and stick your penis into the wound, you're doing it wrong.

I don't know about 'penis fencing', but there's an ad boasting that it will "Increase Male Infertility".
