Sorry, no link yet. You could come up with some good dinosaur names, depending on which position they preferred: Female Superiaurus Missionarydon Doggie Stylus Rex or maybe Masturbadon ---

And of course there’s the _humpasaurus_. It ain’t clever, but it sure do sound funny. ---

Wow, let’s keep this going so it’ll be moved to IMHO or MPSIMS… How about a porn-filmin’ dinocidal dinosaur called … **Snuffaluffagus**? ---

The issue (dinosaur reproduction, that is, not silly names) was also addressed in Leonard Krishtalka’s “Dinosaur Plots and Other Intrigues in Natural History,” Avon Books, 1989, Chapter 4. Too long to reproduce here, but worth a read. ---

How about _coitusaurus_? Or _cunnilingusaurus_? _Spermadon_? _Orgasmodon_? And there is/was a cartoon character in _Playboy_ called “Tyrannosaurus Sex.” ---
