Other mating models:

- Millipedes generally work on a model where males leave packets of sperm on the ground and females find them and pick them up. Mating does not take place.

- Fish may just release sperm / unfertilized eggs into the ocean and hope they find each other.

- Some mayflies have just four legs, the first pair having developed into "arms" whose only use is restraining a struggling female.

- Male anglerfish drift around until they find a (much larger) female, at which point they burrow into her skin, attach permanently, and live as a parasite that occasionally releases sperm.

Cicadas may not worry about consent, but insects and other crawly things in general do, as you can tell by the fact that they put on mating displays.
