Snake Sex

Male snakes have 2 penises. It has now been established that their female counterparts have 2 hemi-clitorises (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/dec/14/snakes-have-a-clitoris-scientists-overcome-a-massive-taboo-around-female-genitalia). That snakes even have a clitoris, appears to have been overlooked as a consequence of a general taboo about examining the female reproductive tract. In early times, the female snake's clitoris as mis-identified as a scent marking gland or an undeveloped version of the male's penis. There seems to be plenty of scope here for the 'bush tucker trials' in I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!
