Believe it or not they find it very romantic to make love while watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail

No idea. I bet their genitals are tiny.

I looked into it; they can reproduce via external fertilization (male to female), or even asexually (if hermaphroditic). Eggs are laid on land.

Both sexually (males deposits sperm in female, who lays fertilized eggs), and asexually, through parthenogenesis, by which the females lays unfertilized eggs, essentially cloning herself. The latter being very handy in harsh environments with few partners.

At least in some species, immediately after molting, the female lays eggs in her old skin. If a male is around, he wraps himself around her head, they engage in foreplay for an hour, and he deposits sperm in the molted skin. If no male is around, she can transport the eggs. They molt several x/year.

They don’t. Not necessary if you can’t die
