Cryptic female choice is a form of mate choice which occurs both in pre- and post-copulatory circumstances in which females of certain species use physical or chemical mechanisms to control a male's success of fertilizing their ova or ovum; i.e. by selecting whether sperm are successful in fertilizing their eggs or not.
Idiosepius paradoxus, also known as the northern pygmy squid, is a species of pygmy squid native to the western Pacific Ocean. This species can be found inhabiting shallow, inshore waters around central China, South Korea, and Japan.
Idiosepiidae, also known as the pygmy squids, is a family of squids in the superorder Decapodiformes. [2] [3] They are the smallest known squids.[3]It is the only family in the monotypic order Idiosepida [4] and the monotypic superfamily Idiosepioidea. [5]

The squid body was said to be at least as thick as the small ship, with arms thick as wood. [21] In the 1930s, Norwegian tanker Brunswick reported having been attacked by a giant squid in the South Pacific between Hawaii and Samoa.
The Coolidge effect can be attributed to an increase in sexual responsiveness, and a shortening of the sexual refractory period. [5] The evolutionary benefit to this phenomenon is that a male can fertilize multiple females. [6] The male may be reinvigorated repeatedly for successful insemination of multiple females. [7]
Doctors say it ultimately depends on why you want to use an insemination kit. "There can be some misunderstanding about what you're accomplishing by doing this," Streicher says. "This is not an IUI."
