Traumatic insemination

Traumatic insemination is when male insects, like bed bugs, use their sharp reproductive organ to pierce the female's abdomen and deposit sperm directly into their body cavity. It sounds scary and painful, but for bed bugs, this is their way of reproducing. The female's body has specific organs to handle this traumatic insemination process, and it does not always harm them or cause infection. However, for humans, it is not a recommended or safe method of reproduction, and we have much better ways with less pain and potential harm.
