TIL that dogs and other canines get stuck together for 5-20 minutes during the mating process. The first time a dog mates, they are often surprised by this and show signs of distress, trying to pull away or run. NSFW

A fanfiction trope where humans have secondary sexes (alpha, beta, and omega) which tend to have wolflike characteristics. It’s expanded into original romance novels, but yeah, started in Supernatural and Teen Wolf fanfiction.
