Wish I had my camera.
 
This morning I found 2 big fat slugs like cork screws around each
other doing the nasties. They were hanging from a twig.

How many can say they've seen slugs mating? I've seen small pets
including fish, different insects and flies, but this is pretty
rare.

I've heard that porcupines do it standing on their front legs so they
don't stick each other. Rabbits are really funny to watch because
after doing it the buck falls off and screems in joy. At least I
assume he's not screeming in pain.

Funny stuff. ;-)

We used to raise rabbits so I know what you mean...

Ducks do much the same.

It is a beautiful spiral, I have seen it myself. Then I squashed them.
They died happy.

I have a fennel plant that is my lady bug farm. They mate often.
I scan the plant and remove the egg sacks and put them around my garden
where needed.

YouTube has several videos of slugs mating, for those who might be
interested. It really is an interesting sight. Here is one link:

Must be nice to be Hermaphroditic.

No battle of the sexes. ;-)

Oh yes there is:
"I'm on top".
"No, you were on top last time."
"No, you were. That was you wasn't it. You all look the same."
"I want to be on top, it's my turn."
