There is no penetration in virtually all frog mating. The male climbs on the female's back and clasps her midsection. He fertilizes the eggs as she releases them.
The horseshoe crab mates in a similar way. The smaller male hooks onto the back of the larger female. She drags him up on the beach. The then digs a burrow and deposits eggs, which he fertilizes. It's a prehistorical mating ritual. Most years I do a ride that stops at a beach on the Delaware Bay to see them.
