So....i very randomly learned something new today that is somehow relevant to this....kind of.
Many ducks form bonds between males and females that last for a whole mating season. But rival males often violently force themselves onto females. To gain the edge in these conflicts, drakes have evolved large corkscrew phalluses, lined with ridges and backward-pointing spines, which allow them to deposit their sperm further into a female than their rivals. These extreme penises are even more unusual when you consider that 97% of bird species lack any penises whatsoever (wtf)
But female ducks have developed countermeasures. Their vaginas are equally long and twisting, lined with dead-end pockets and spirals that curve in the opposite direction. They are organic chastity belts, evolved to limit the effectiveness of the males’ lengthy genitals.

Childhood… violated… Innocence… lost… SCIENCE!www.discovermagazine.com
So, basically, science tells us some holes are way more difficult to fill than others?
Makes sense to me, brother. And that's at least as relevant to the conversation as military experience.
