You can scale this to an even bigger level: when the Milky Way and the Andromeda will collide they will in fact mate. (The __Milky__ Way being the female counterpart in the intercourse)

Only inasmuch as two groups of people walking past each other in a desert counts as "mating". Galaxies are very sparse, so their collisions don't actually involve much colliding but do a lot of passing by.
