Very well. By modern books FICTION. Dragons replicate in flight. They fly together for hours till they reach the point of the enough hight and speed to start mating. It takes them only 15 to 20 seconds to finish the job while they fall head towards their oblivion and than about 10 secs before they hit the ground they break apart and go to the already prepared lair where the female lays the eggs. Also it can be done magically though that is rare. So in fiction for gods sake that is how it's supposed to go.
Ragnarok, I love you mate. Really.I mean it.

Depends on the fiction source though. I'm most familiar with Anne McCaffery's work in this instance, and in her books, the flight doesn't take several hours, just until a male manages to catch the female.
 Sorry! I really don't mean to argue with you, just can't resist...

I like arguing I learn more. I didn't take from McAfree's book this time I heard this somewhere. You are right by Anne it takes only the male to catch a female.

Okay, so now answer this: How can you argue with a "real-world" answer by using something that is pure fiction?

Easy, Ganelon. Caps are considered shouting. Tone it down a bit...

I'll finish that sentence for you: "So there is no point in having a rational conversation with me."
There is no point in debating when one side can only offer pure fiction to support its position. As long as one side can say "I reject your reality and substitute my own," the conversation goes nowhere, and can go nowhere.
