It depends on what jellies you are talking about.
If you are talking about jellyfish in the ocean: No, not really.
If you are talking about contributers to the Fluther website: No, not really.
While they do reproduce sexually, they get no pleasure out of the act, poor squishy creatures. We cephalopods would look down our noses at jellyfish sex—if we had a nose to look down, of course. Chambered nautiluses have 90 tentacles including four that are specialized for sex. So when I hook up with a lovely lady Chambered Nautilus I get seriously hoked up!
