I am SO turned on right now.

I think he's hypnotizing her.

Sc, you're not allowed to post porn. I'm not gonna lie, that was some pretty raunchy stuff there.

"We're not worthy, we're not worthy! ...do I get some now?"

i was just waiting for the book to close and smash them both.

She is just thinking, my god, this guy talks a lot.

Y HALLO THERE NIGHTMARE FUEL

Seriously though, this was so awesome I posted it to MetaFilter. Great find.

"Autobots..." (You know the rest! )

damnit, cuts off just when the action starts

Great links! And thanks for the upvote on this great little viddy.

Dang! Had to watch this again! At about 1:20 everything gets rolling and after that he really puts on the Ritz. Phenomenal. And I agree that it cuts off too soon, but we have to leave something to the imagination.

damnit there was no money shot!

there should be more videos like this.. Sure, idiots hurting themselves in fun and all, but nature is pretty damn cool

don't spiders kill their mates after the act? maybe the early cutoff spared us some gruesome snuff footage. *shudder*

Memorare is (partially) right. Not all spiders practice sexual cannibalism, but Jumping Spiders do. In fact, I've heard the male is a willing participant and will remain still while the female begins to eat him.

Wow... So i wonder how many other animals blow their load before the actual act like this little fellow.

If he misjudged just one time he could've smashed his leg right through her.

"The female detects the low frequency vibrations through her legs. She responds by allowing the male to mount her."

Will have to try this out on the missus tonight.

you might want to augment the 'audio' tag with a 'vibration' or 'biovibrations' tag.
While you are at it, throw in 'multimodal signaling'.
