There is a great desscription of slug sex in a book by Gerald Durrell called "My family and other animals". It's about his time on a Greek Island when he was a kid. It a wonderful book, and in it he talkes a lot about his brother "Larry", lots of animals and insects as well as his life in general. It's one of my all time favourite books, and I mostly read fiction.
He talks about one slug pulling up beside another, being side by side, shooting little arrows that have lines attached into each other and then the lines shortening until they are flesh to flesh, side by side. I don't know what happens then, but they are hermophroditic, so whatever it is would be bound to be interesting!
