Male flowers appear in open clusters while females flowers, distinguished by a swollen base, usually appear individually. The plant is self-fertile, i.e. pollen from the male flowers can fertilise the female flowers on the same plant; pollination is by insects. Fruit Marah macrocarpa fruit
Cucumbers may also be pollinated via bumblebees and several other bee species. Most cucumbers that require pollination are self-incompatible, thus requiring the pollen of another plant in order to form seeds and fruit. [10] Some self-compatible cultivars exist that are related to the 'Lemon cucumber' cultivar. [10]
Similar to some types of cucumber, [10] these plants are monoecious, producing both male and female flowers on the same plant. [9] [11] Flowers are small and yellow, and are approximately 4 mm (0.2 in) in diameter. [5] Unusually for the cucurbits, the female flowers appear before the male flowers. [6]
Or, with bisexual and at least one of male and female flowers on the same plant. [2] Protandrous: (of dichogamous plants) having male parts of flowers developed before female parts, e.g. having flowers that function first as male and then change to female or producing pollen before the stigmas of the same plant are receptive.

Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell present. Self-pollination can either be done completely autogamously or geitonogamously. In the former, the egg and sperm ...
Monoecy often co-occurs with anemophily, [2] because it prevents self-pollination of individual flowers and reduces the probability of self-pollination between male and female flowers on the same plant. [4]: 32 Monoecy in angiosperms has been of interest for evolutionary biologists since Charles Darwin. [5]
Now he’s in a pickle. Police are hunting for a man caught on camera doing a jaw-dropping sex act with a cucumber in front of a Washington, DC woman’s home, according to cops.
English: Complete demonstration of the orgasm process of an adult male. The subject is a 27-year-old healthy circumcised Caucasian male. The video begins with the subject's genitals in a non-aroused flaccid state (0:00). As arousal progresses(0:30), the subject's penis becomes erect, the scrotum tightens and the testicles elevate.
