In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx
Weeeellll, technically, he'd never get the chance to drink his young since his mate would have sucked him up with a straw as soon as she had finished with him, him being liquid and all, that is assuming a liquid could even mate properly....so...yeah, it sounds good, but...

Off With My Head! (my GF says that the male mantis gets his head bitten off after coitus - so this one would indicate a desire for sex )

So, most but not all male mantids get eaten entirely after sex. Some even get their head bit off before/during sex and go into a spasm that finishes the job... Some species are lucky enough to get a free pass but most become a high energy meal for the glowing mother. All mantids are cannibals though. That's the number one killer of hatchlings actually, if they don't have enough area to quickly spread out through.
So far I like:
Drinks his Young (and it has the popular vote apparently)
Mates Only Once
Off With My Head!
Or I'll add my own play off Fed's and add:
Decapital Coiter
I really like Off With My Head!. That gets my vote.

I'll get me coat.
If you freeze the appropriate area he should be good for mating. She may complain of him being a bit cold though.

I like "Drinks His Young" (although "Drinks because of his Young" is probably generally more accurate.)

My vote is casted for "Drinks his Young". Although isn't it the female that eats the young?

I believe so, since the male gets eaten during intercourse.
