Life as an insect is pretty tough. The males are always eaten after sex.

But what do you make of this then? The larger female spider uses her size advantage to force the male to lick her genitals up to and over 100 times during mating, bothe before, between and after.

Researchers aren't sure why they do this, but here's some theories as to why;

"Although the researchers aren’t entirely sure why male spiders engage in oral sex, they do have some ideas. It is perhaps an analog of mate binding, where a male spider deposits silk on the abdomen of a female prior to copulation to tone down her aggressiveness, thereby avoiding cannibalization after sex.

More likely, however, is that the oral sexual contact signals “male quality.” If this is the case, the researchers write, this would signal a “cryptic” female selection mechanism which allows them to select the best mate based on the saliva deposit. Or, perhaps, enzymes in the male spider’s saliva offer a physiological advantage over a rival’s sperm, similar to the way other insects have seminal toxins."

Whichever is the dominant sex in a species will rape. Always.

I'm guessing some sort of sperm competition. If you've got one shot at mating, you want to make sure her eggs are yours, not whoever's her last meal was.

A species in which both parties are willing to copulate will persist longer than a species in which one is unwilling. Always.

That's true, but even in such a situation, one party will sometimes be more willing than the other and that leads to sexual abuse.
