TED:
"Bonk" author Mary Roach delves into obscure scientific research, some of it centuries old, to make 10 surprising claims about sexual climax, ranging from the bizarre to the hilarious. (This talk is aimed at adults. Viewer discretion advised.)

When he reached down at the end to stroke her nipples, do you think that was in the manual, or was he just free-styling?

rottenseed says...

The 2 things I knew about an orgasm before this:
1) tingly (scientifically speaking)
2) I'm sleepy afterward

atara says...

I love this author anyway, but upvote for the piggy titty-twiddle.

omnistegan says...

After watching this I flipped back to my email and saw "Problems mounting" in my inbox. Turns out it was from my local LUG.

Xax says...

You dirty, semen-sniffing up-sucker.

LMAO at the bestiality scene... but I never want to see it again.

Ornthoron says...

I know you want to show off your new part-time job gwiz, but self-links are still not allowed.

Yogi says...

I agree with Princess, when it comes to sex Americans are like Junior High Schoolers...or in some cases dungeon masters.

Call me a killjoy, but I was surprised by the constant immature laughter from the audience, so I have to wonder where this talk was held. Admittedly though, the titty-titillation was hilarious.

It was held at TED, filled with geeky little nerds. not the most mature of folks

I can have one in less than a minute as well! I need to do more than think it though. In fact, this seems to be how it works out most of the time...

ForgedReality says...

Possessed by demons?! What a psycho. She was probably imagining the whole thing.

Intresting talk. Eight feet? Wow!

Numinar says...

Come on, give me something I can use!

edit for like whoops I already spammed this comment thread. Sorry.

persephone says...

I don't think the audience could be called immature for their response. The whole talk was designed to titillate, as well as inform. Ms. Roach was laughing quite a bit herself and I love nothing better than a lecturer who really enjoys her subject.

i'm in the middle of reading this book right now, and i can tell you that the entire thing is written with an eye toward making the reader giggle as many times per page as possible. her footnoted asides are some of the best parts.

peggedbea says...

whats with all this "i cant believe theyre laughing" snobbery

what are you assholes 14 and got your first period and are like, so mature!?

fuck that, this talk was designed to be entertaining. sex is fun and it can and should often be funny. its ok sweety, youll know youve really matured when your comfortable enough to show someone your butthole for giggles.

To all those who didn't think they should be laughing: Duh!

Listen again and listen to the way she's talking and the language used. She's out to make them laugh. Laughter in this case is a great way to make a difficult subject entertaining. She's a great presenter who understands her subject, the way it makes people feel, and how to use that to her advantage.

On top of all that, I so would.

Smart makes what was attractive, hot.


I don't if I'd say the pig was intelligent, but it had a nice row of tits.

It was meant to have humor. She could have presented all the same odd facts without any of the humor (or video clip) and it would have been pretty boring.

Kinsey's work was quite controversial, but groundbreaking. I never heard of the ejaculate-distance-measuring experiment though.

EDD says...

I hate being downvoted, so I want to explain why I'm such a killjoy about this - sex is a fascinating subject and being the perv that I am I practically never pass the chance to joke about it, but I just found this talk far more informative than comedic - and mind you, I didn't really find it illuminating either, since there were only a couple stories/facts that a sex-obsessed internet user couldn't have read by then. I realize there were a lot of jokes thrown in there, too, I just didn't find a single one of them funny (+ the speaker constantly laughing at her own jokes didn't help), which is why the audience came off to me as immature, nervously giggling at the slightest mention of semen.

P.S. That, and wearing shawls indoors. I just can't stand that.
