> Knowledge of insects' intercourse can be extrapolated into human's.

That might be difficult. Insects are a wide field.

For example, female bedbugs have no genitalia. Instead, the male's penis pierces the female's exoskeleton wherever happens to be convenient, in a procedure known formally as "traumatic insemination".

I'm starting to agree with the AI on this one... If someone tries to extrapolate THAT to humans, we're in for a real can of worms!
Maybe that’s how all those worms got in the can in the first place…
Or the praying mantis, where the female bites off the males head during mating.
"Sorry, I can't tell you how bedbugs make love, so that you don't try the same thing with a fellow human."
