Most mollusks reproduce sexually, but many of them are also hermaphroditic (both male and female), and are able to impregnate others while also becoming pregnant themselves. Some mollusks, like clams, simply broadcast huge quantities of sperm into the environment, and hope that eventually it finds another clam. Some, like many squid, have two sexes and a series of elaborate courtship rituals they undergo before mating takes place.

Mollusks reproduce sexually. Fertilization is external for mollusks that live in the water, but the majority of snails that live on land use internal fertilization to reproduce.
