Snail foreplay finally gets the dedicated research it has long deserved
Watch Next

Foreplay that can last several hours and is mostly smell-stuff, stabbing with love darts and genitals that are similar to a rubber glove? Snail sex is wild.

So wild that it can fill a four-minute video where truly, every second brings new and previously unimaginable information thanks to PBS's digital studio series, Deep Look.

Somebody smart spent a good portion of their life researching snail sex. Do them a solid-- hole yourself up in a room with no windows (or just an office corner), put in some headphones and educate yourself. This is maybe just one more reason why PBS shouldn't be defunded...

Happy smelling!
