Since you've brought up the subject of carp love-making as "brutal," why not expand to the 
o-masochistic tendencies of largemouth and smallmouth bass. Instead of kissing french style a male bass "kisses" the female over her entire body using his teeth. Biting and nipping the female, he drives her into the nest and stimulates her to deposit eggs. After she lays her eggs she becomes attached to her eggs and doesn't want to leave. However each time she tries to go back right on top of the nest, the male bites and shoves her, even knocking her so hard she is forced to swim almost belly up till she eventually leaves. By the time she finishes love making, she is bruised, her fins torn, and quite "whipped." But she always comes back to the male for more....torture. Being quite the fish voyeurist, I've "peeked" upon many bass couples in their 'bed'--rooms.
