If mermaids were real, I'd assume the female would lay eggs like a fish.

Mermaids – one of the symbols of unleashed sexuality. Of feminine beauty exposed in all its glory. Mermen, likewise, are always very buff (from all the swimming they do – try to find one without a six-pack!). They often have luxurious long locks.
And despite some theories that like other fish creatures, they spawn eggs and sperm and the eggs lie around and eventually hatch into baby merbeings, I don’t buy that.
Mermaids have boobs, nice boobs at that! Just like Platypuses, who are a mix of sea and land, they mate in the “male copulates with female” and then the female nurses her young. It just seems that this would be the way Merpeople do it too.
So, despite many searches for something on mermaid sex, I’ve come up nil in that department. I’m curious, even if Mermaids have a Mermaid ****, just where do the Mermen hide their Mercock?

Since mermaids are fantasy, I have researched and found a website that discussed in details the Mermaid Anatomy. Remember, this is also a fantasy website but may have truth in them as well. You decide...
Introduction: Mermaids are humans from the waist up, but fishes from the waist down. The boundary between the human area and fish area happens in the pelvis; this area is part human-part fish (the outside of this area is fish). Areas above the pelvis are human, and areas below the pelvis are fish.
How mermaids reproduce:
Females have human internal reproduction organs; however the vagina is slightly shorter, and the common urogenital opening (the urethra merges with the vaginal canal near the opening) is at the front. The opening can stretch as much as a human vaginal opening; mermaid babies are born live as opposed to hatched from eggs. A clitoris (which is the same color as the tail) is slightly below the urogenital opening, and an anus is above the urogenital opening. Mermaid vaginas are slightly smaller than human ones (since male mermaid penises are smaller, explained below), so they tend to be more sexually satisfying to human males.
Males do have a penis, but it is almost as small as a human female clitoris and is the same color as the tail; it is hardly visible (this is the only plausible explanation to why no one has ever seen a penis on any of the male mermaids). It is used for urination, as well as sexual intercourse. The testicles are inside the tail, as opposed to the pelvis, since they require a slightly lower temperature to function properly (the human and pelvis part is warm-blooded, but the tail is cold-blooded). The anus is above the penis.
So in the same way that men and women have sex, that is also how the mermaids do it with their sexual partner. They don't lay eggs, they give birth to real babies, oh, cute mer-babies..
I hope you will find what you are looking for. Goodluck!

They don't. Since they are mythical, this question is open for debate and speculation. I think that the men are like seahorses: they carry the infants. In some stories, the females are soooo mean, I think they would MAKE the males carry the infants. And in other tales, they are too beautiful to have ever birthed or carried a fetus. And since in the former they would eat their young, and in the latter they are would be too conceited to care for their young, I think that the men become spontaneously impregnated. Why then would evolution keep women around? Come on! They may be Mermen, but they are still merMEN: gotta look at something, right?

Mermaids don't they aren't real. But, for you I did a little looking around and found this: In mermaids, reproduction is much like that of dolphins. The reproductive organs of both the male and female are akin to the dolphin and whale, and mermaid babies are born live (as opposed to hatched from eggs).

They don't.
Even in mythology mermaids did not have sex, but drowned the sailors lured onto the rocks by their songs. They are relatives of the Sirens...
Besides, fish lay eggs.

Ah, they don't in the same sense humans do. Their reproductive organs are in their fishy region, so they reproduce like fish. The female lays her eggs and the male follows afterwards and fertilizes it with his semen. Traditionally, this is done in coral reefs, though in modern times a number of "maternity reefs" have opened, offering medical help and separation counseling for the females and good mer-porn for the males.

I think they don't they reproduce like fish and the eggs come out and float around and then the daddy merman "cums" along and fertilizes it then they hatch later on.

THEY DON'T!!
Mermaids are like SNAILS & WORMS, they're hermaphrodites & they don't need to have sex with anything besides themselves to reproduce
