Testing hypotheses for the function of the carnivoran baculum using finite-element analysis.

However, a highly significant negative relationship exists between intromission duration and baculum stress under dorsoventral bending.

We find a marginally significant positive correlation between sexual size dimorphism and baculum stress under compressive loading, counter to the ‘vaginal friction’ hypothesis of bacula becoming more robust to overcome resistance during initial intromission.
