Yes, duck mating is wild. And it’s also a window into how power and adaptation work in the natural world, and why we need to look for the whole story. That's exactly why we made a party game about animal mating behavior and anatomy!

In 2005, most of the folks talking about duck mating gear were scientists and breeders. Fast forward 20 years, and now everyone and their podcast knows about the corkscrew-shaped dongs of drakes and their aggressive mating techniques. Here's why...

I'm in Portland, OR! The Xeres signs are popular including this older design. We also have a city-specific backyard habitat certification program so their signs are most common (though not pollinator specific).

Almost 5 years ago, we set out to make an accessible, feminist, queer-celebrating, pop science game about animal mating behaviors and anatomy. Our dream was to create something that could build community, spark curiosity, and be wildly entertaining.

On this world #turtle day, I am appreciating how charitable this #Florida softshell turtle's penis looks.

Across studies on genital #evolution between 1989-2013, researchers found NEARLY HALF only looked at males, while LESS THAN 10% looked only at females. (Ah-King M, Barron AB, Herberstein ME., 2014).

All #culture is #local. Here's a blog where we discuss a few early anthropologists' work to show that many "universal truths" are just human constructs shaped by time, place, and power.

In honor of #MothersDay, we’re sharing a sneak peak of our game #art, featuring one of our favorite fem-animal icons: the #hyena matriarch.

As hunters, protectors, and leaders, they embody the multitudes contained by the moms and mom figures in our lives.

Creating (and playing!) a #partygame that is hilarious, science-y, and liberatory all at the same time has truly been a joy. All are welcome to join the party: fascinarygames.com/mate-the-par...

Hyenas have a large clitoris, sometimes mistaken for a penis. But make no mistake—it’s 8 inches of clit. Female #hyenas wield their big clit energy as dominant hunters, fierce protectors, and natural leaders.

We designed our queenfisher vulva fascinus to flip the script on this dusty obsession. This plucky bird reminds us that empires fall, phalluses aren’t all they’re cracked up to be, and a new era is rising.

Bonobos are the ultimate girls gone revelrous icons, often engaging together in genito-genital rubbing. This joyful act fosters connections, reduces stress, and makes life pleasurable.
