Klingons first show interest in each other by aggressively sniffing the hand or arm of the one they desire. Then, their mating rituals proceed from that. Klingon love play is extremely rough and even brutal, involving dominative and combative attitudes and obscure and unusual rituals, at least to human eyes. In parmaqqaypu' (singular parmaqqay) partners are chosen as mates for dedicated recreational sexual congress. As the Doctor from Voyager commented, it is considered a good omen if during the wedding night, a clavicle, or collar bone, is broken, along with numerous bruises, scratches and puncture wounds. A Klingon growling biting someone indicates they desire to mate with that person.
In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Dauphin", Worf states that the mating ritual consists of a woman roaring, throwing things at the male, and occasionally clawing at him while the male reads love poetry and "ducks a lot". Jadzia Dax told Quark that Kahless and Lucara "leaped on each other like crazed voles".
Klingons are known to have sexual relations with humans, with the character B'Elanna Torres being an example of a Klingon-human hybrid. Torres is a Klingon on her mother's side. In The Next Generation episode "Justice", Worf states that he must resist his urges for "general sex" as the only women available to him are human females, who are more "fragile" than Klingon women. However, he did mate with K 'Eleyhr who was half-human and who gave birth to Worf's son Alexander. Klingon organs are not the same as human organs so the differences can cause trouble in a human successfully conceiving a baby with a Klingon.
