The secret lives of mites in the skin of our faces - interesting sexual positions

Their unique gene arrangement also results in the mites' unusual mating habits. Their reproductive organs have moved anteriorly, and males have a penis that protrudes upwards from the front of their body meaning they have to position themselves underneath the female when mating, and copulate as they both cling onto the human hair.

The mites are passed on during birth and are carried by almost every human, with numbers peaking in adults as the pores grow bigger. They measure around 0.3 mm long, are found in the hair follicles on the face and nipples, including the eyelashes, and eat the sebum naturally released by cells in the pores. They become active at night and move between follicles looking to mate.

Dunno. Just thought this interesting for those of us that don't get around much anymore...

1. If incels find out about this

they’ll douse their faces with acid if they think mites are getting some and they’re not.
