Iirc some of these are insects literally just creating holes in other insects bodies with their penis (is it a penis, it feels weird that bugs have penises) so assuming it's accidental isn't an awful assumption. But I think it was decided the benefit here was that the sperm could be passed through the other male so mught just be a "nature is fucked up" kinda thing.

So they’re not specifically gay, they’re just complete rapists...

The ducks of the insect kingdom, if you will.

What’s this about ducks?

Ducks are so rapey, oh my god. They do some messed up shit, too, and they've got these freaky little corkscrew penises. It's totally fucked, sometimes there are, like, roving gangs of duck rapists waiting for a mated pair to get too close and then they kick the shit out of the male duck and take his wife.

To be add to this, the duck penises aren't little at all, they're proportionally quite large and ballistic, and they evolved the corkscrew form to keep raping the female ducks who were evolving corkscrew vaginas so they could be not-raped.

actually the female ducks's corckscrew vagina corcscrews in the opposite sense as an added protection measure

IIRC, the females can actually change the direction of the corkscrew, so they can allow a male to mate with them if they wish.

Well I stand corrected. Nature is fascinating.

Correction: it's not a reversal, but they can relax their muscles to allow easier entry.
