Of course, you’d have to be a male for this to happen.

The test was done across two sets of beetles – one which had lots of sex, and one which had minimal amounts.

It was found that the ones who had lots of sex developed their reproductive organs at a quicker pace than the ones who didn’t get frisky.

The study was conducted over ten generations and showed that the more sex the animals were having the bigger their genitals became.

Dr Paul Hopwood, of the University of Exeter, said: “Although we don’t know the ins and outs of how these genital structures relate to the reproductive success of each sex, our results show that sexual conflict over mating can lead to co-evolutionary changes in the shape of the genitals of burying beetles.”
