Wow, that's a good question. Welcome at Peel mpbx3003. I couldn't think of an answer, so I searched around peel. The only thread I found doesn't really relate to this question an is really old. here it is. Perhaps, it isn't the fertilizing itself (just giving away the genetic material), but the act of having sex. And did he have sex with the caviar? I don't know. Enjoy it at Peel. Whenever you have questions about Peel, posting on it, or anything else this faq might give you some answers.

well, think about it, if they could fertilize things without having sex then why would they choose to die, wouldn't they just fertilize each other?

Good point. Well what feels better? Just giving away your sperm, or having good sex? (in case you are old enough ). For me it's having sex. But when they die having it, it will prove they are dumb, not to choose just giving their genetic material. Or it's just another crazy tradition they try to keep alive, like clawplough [sp?].

"You mean you have to choose between a life without sex and a horrible death?" "Yes." "Tough choice."
"How am I going to get rid of my male jelly now?" "I'll lend you this."
Obviously it is not the passing of genetic material, but rather sex that is fatal.

Maybe the females consume the males? Okay, maybe not. Maybe sexual contact with a female, instead, is fatal. That's some case of Crabs..

All that I know and can contribute to this, is that I'm glad I'm not an alien crustacean.

Bender: Shoo! Get away! Hey! What's with the flying jerks?
Zoidberg: They come to feast after the frenzy. Once my species passes on its genes, it dies.
^that exact quote suggests that it's not the sex as it is the passing of the genetic material... or is it being used as a metaphor for just sex? So could a decapodian just have sex and not pass on it's genetic material, and live? both weird and science break the i before e rule...

Googled and found an article about health and sex on abc-news (if someone is interested in reading it: here it is) Here are a few quotes from the text: The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it’s harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, be you male or female.
... The Many Benefits of Sex:
- Improved sense of smell - Reduced risk of heart disease - weight loss, overall fitness - Reduced depression - Pain relief - less frequent colds or flu - better bladder control *Farnsworth should have had more sex* - a happier prostate
But here is what shocked me: Risks of Too Little, Too Much Sex?
... is there such a thing as too much sex?
The answer, in purely physiological terms, is this: If you’re female, probably not. If you’re male? You betcha.

Seriously, sex burns crazy amounts of calories. Good exercise. Or so I've read.

Well you can get STDs from sex but not from masturbating. Similar? I don't think so, but my point will hopefully get through.
