Since you are an expert, I will ask a question I always wondered about. How do they reproduce? I never saw any signs of sex on pictures of mermaids. Not even speaking about the fact that I do not remember ever seeing a picture of a male mermaid
Or do they reproduce in the same way as fish? Anyway with the legs grown together, having human-like genitalia would not make the sexual reproduction easy. On the other hand there are many documented cases of relations between human males and mermaids (i.e. The Little Mermaid by H.C. Andersen), but then again, those guys were maybe satisfied orally. What do you think? If mermaids do have a vagina, where exactly is it located? Front? Back? Do males have a fully retractable genitalia or do they swim around with it exposed?
If you can put some light on this mystery, I'd be thankful.
EDIT: ah, just before sending the post, I've found some information about the anatomy and sexual reproduction of mermaids:
