And so you agree they are NOT expecting to knot. Not the first time at least, and yet they still attempt to dismount.Animals are not pre-programmed single chip computers. Behaviors are learned and experience gained over time.
As I wrote above, "from what I recall the male dog orgasm does not coincide with his subsequent hardness and ejaculation"Not entirely. Ejaculation continues long after knotting.
So basically orgasm does not happen during the entire ejaculation, and finishes long before ejaculation finishes. This would provide and explanation why a knot needed to evolve in the first place, to serve as a mechanism to keep the male in place for the entire ejaculation where orgasm is not accomplishing this.
