yeah thats what i was thinking hell look at cuddlefish they literally mate with a bunch of males, save their sperm separately in packets and then pick the ‘best’ to optimize the genetic quality. nature is wack. would be wild to learn another creature unlocked Parthenogenesis tho.

That’s how human pregnancy works in the SF novel Ilium
Sounds like they don’t have time to cuddle.
Honey bees are another good example of this.
