in some cases males form groups and forcefully impregnate the female dolphin to reproduce and survive
from the article="The Shark Bay dolphins are also viciously violent. When breeding season comes around, there is fierce competition for access to females, as happens in many sexual species. In most cases in nature, that competition is between individual males. The bottlenose dolphins have a different tactic: They form gangs.
Alliances are an essential part of the mating strategies of the males. First-order partnerships will single out a female, rush at her, and then herd her away to have sex, which is coercive (this is a general assumption, because it is rarely seen). During this aggressive corralling, the female repeatedly tries to escape, and does so in about one of every four attempts. The males restrict her attempts at freedom by charging in, and bashing her with their tails, head-butting, biting, and body-slamming her into submission.This walk through some of the grimmer aspects of the behavior of animals serves as a reminder that nature can be brutal. The struggle for existence means competition, and competition results in conflict and sometimes lethal violence. We recognize these behaviors because humans compete and can be horrifically violent"
from another article
"Male pairs or triplets guard the female ferociously, jerking their heads at her, charging her, biting her, and leaping and swimming about her in perfect unison, as though turning their bodies into fences. They may swim up under her, their penises extruded and erect but without attempts at penetration. Sometimes a male will make a distinctive popping noise at the female, a vocalization that sounds like a fist rapping on hollow wood. The noise seems to indicate "Get over here!" because if the female ignores the pop, the male will threaten or attack her"
basically they are just like humans, competing and killing for survival and in the end, the most compatible one survives and the weaker ones vanish in misery. nature is brutal
