So, this thread is for tossing out completely random ideas? Well, here's one for ya!
You can thank ADHD's Scientifically Accurate Spider-Man for this one. I caught the comment about how a truly "accurate" Spider-Man would have a detachable penis, and it got me curious enough to look into what they were talking about.
Turns out, since mating with a female spider can be dangerous, the male has multiple "palps" containing sperm which detach from their bodies when they're finished mating. They serve a few purposes: Allows him to escape possible retribution (orb weaver females are cannibalistic), plugs up the female to prevent her from getting impregnated by another male, and palp can continue to pump into her long after he's left the scene.
I suppose it's telling that, after reading about it, my immediate thought was: this sounds like something out of a Fenoxo game!
Seems like it could be an interesting trait for some kind of alien encounter, though I imagine it wouldn't be terribly easy to code since the "detachable penis"/palm would act a bit like a chastity belt during other encounters, and, last time I played TiTS, there was nothing with that kind of functionality in game.
But, anyway, I figured I'd throw it out there.
