Ducks copulate through rape. As a result, females have evolved mazelike vaginas, complete with dead-ends to prevent insemination. Male ducks have evolved one of the longest penises in relation to body-size of any vertebrate as well has having a penis that takes on a corkscrew shape to better navigate the female’s vagina.

Even ducks need contraception to avoid unwanted pregnancies. Corkscrew mazes with dead-ends work pretty good but might be uncomfortable for humans...[Solon]
