Alright. I'm going to show you a couple of images
0
4000
4000
Okay, jeg vil vise jer et par billeder
00:26
from a very diverting paper
1
8000
3000
fra en meget underholdende afhandling
00:29
in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
2
11000
4000
i The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
00:33
I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that it is the most diverting paper
3
15000
3000
Jeg vil vove mig ud på dybt vand her, og sige at det er den mest underholdende afhandling
00:36
ever published in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
4
18000
3000
nogensinde udgivet i The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
00:39
The title is "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation."
5
21000
5000
Titlen er "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation."
00:44
(Laughter)
6
26000
3000
(Latter)
00:47
Okay. Now on the left you can see the hand -- that's the big arrow --
7
29000
4000
Okay. På den venstre side kan man se hånden -- det er den store pil --
00:51
and the penis on the right. The hand hovering.
8
33000
3000
og penisen til højre. Hånden svæver.
00:54
And over here we have,
9
36000
2000
Og herovre har vi,
00:56
in the words of radiologist Israel Meisner,
10
38000
3000
med radiologen Israel Meisners ord,
00:59
"The hand grasping the penis in a fashion resembling masturbation movements."
11
41000
5000
"Hånden holder penisen på en måde der minder om masturbations bevægelser."
01:04
Bear in mind this was an ultrasound,
12
46000
2000
Husk på, dette var ultralyd,
01:06
so it would have been moving images.
13
48000
2000
så det ville have været bevægende billeder.
01:08
Orgasm is a reflex of the autonomic nervous system.
14
50000
3000
Orgasmer er en refleks af det autonome nervesystem.
01:11
Now this is the part of the nervous system
15
53000
2000
Nu er dette den del af nervesystemet
01:13
that deals with the things that we don't consciously control,
16
55000
3000
der har at gøre med ting som vi ikke bevist kontrollerer,
01:16
like digestion, heart rate and sexual arousal.
17
58000
4000
såsom fordøjelse, hjertefrekvens og seksuel ophidselse.
01:20
And the orgasm reflex can be triggered
18
62000
2000
Og orgasmerefleksen kan udløses
01:22
by a surprisingly broad range of input.
19
64000
4000
af en overraskende bred vifte af input.
01:26
Genital stimulation. Duh.
20
68000
3000
Genital stimulation. Duh.
01:29
But also Kinsey interviewed a woman
21
71000
2000
Men Kinsey interviewede også en kvinde
01:31
who could be brought to orgasm
22
73000
3000
der kunne få en orgasme
01:34
by having someone stroke her eyebrow.
23
76000
3000
ved at nogen strøg hendes øjenbryn.
01:37
People with spinal cord injuries,
24
79000
2000
Mennesker med skader på rygsøjlen,
01:39
like paraplegias, quadriplegias,
25
81000
2000
som mennesker der er ramt af paraplegi, quadriplegi,
01:41
will often develop a very, very sensitive area
26
83000
3000
vil tit udvikle et meget, meget følsom område
01:44
right above the level of their injury,
27
86000
2000
lige over stedet hvor skaden er,
01:46
wherever that is.
28
88000
2000
hvor det end er.
01:48
There is such a thing as a knee orgasm in the literature.
29
90000
3000
Der er sådan noget som en knæorgasme i litteraturen.
01:51
I think the most curious one that I came across
30
93000
4000
Jeg tror det mest besynderlige som jeg opdagede
01:55
was a case report of a woman
31
97000
2000
var en sag om en kvinde
01:57
who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth.
32
99000
4000
der fik en orgasme hver gang hun børstede tænder.
02:01
(Laughter)
33
103000
3000
(Latter)
02:04
This was something in the complex
34
106000
3000
Det var noget i hendes komplekse
02:07
sensory-motor action of brushing her teeth
35
109000
4000
sanse-motoriske handling af at børste tænder
02:11
was triggering orgasm.
36
113000
2000
der udløste orgasmen.
02:13
And she went to a neurologist who was fascinated.
37
115000
3000
Og hun tog til en neurolog der blev fascineret.
02:16
He checked to see if it was something in the toothpaste,
38
118000
3000
Han kontrollerede om der var noget i tandpastaen,
02:19
but no -- it happened with any brand.
39
121000
3000
men nej -- det skete med alle mærker.
02:22
They stimulated her gums
40
124000
2000
De stimulerede hendes tandkød
02:24
with a toothpick, to see if that was doing it.
41
126000
2000
med en tandstik, for at se hvad der gjorde det.
02:26
No. It was the whole, you know, motion.
42
128000
4000
Nej. Det var hele, I ved, bevægelsen.
02:30
And the amazing thing to me is that
43
132000
3000
Og det utrolige for mig er at
02:33
now you would think this woman would like have
44
135000
2000
nu skulle man tro at denne kvinde ville have
02:35
excellent oral hygiene.
45
137000
2000
fremragende mundhygiejne.
02:37
(Laughter)
46
139000
4000
(Latter)
02:41
Sadly she -- this is what it said in the journal paper --
47
143000
2000
Desværre - dette stod i afhandlingen --
02:43
"She believed that she was possessed by demons
48
145000
3000
"Hun mente at hun var besat af dæmoner
02:46
and switched to mouthwash for her oral care."
49
148000
3000
og skiftede til mundskylning som mund hygiejne."
02:49
It's so sad.
50
151000
2000
Det er så sørgeligt.
02:51
(Laughter)
51
153000
1000
(Latter)
02:52
I interviewed, when I was working on the book,
52
154000
3000
Jeg interviewede, da jeg arbejdede på min bog,
02:55
I interviewed a woman who can think herself to orgasm.
53
157000
4000
interviewede jeg en kvinde der kan tænke sig selv til orgasme.
02:59
She was part of a study at Rutgers University.
54
161000
3000
Hun var en del af et studie ved Rutgers University.
03:02
You gotta love that. Rutgers.
55
164000
2000
Det må man elske. Rutgers.
03:04
So I interviewed her in Oakland,
56
166000
3000
Så jeg interviewede hende i Oakland,
03:07
in a sushi restaurant.
57
169000
2000
på en sushi restaurant.
03:09
And I said, "So, could you do it right here?"
58
171000
3000
Og jeg sagde, "Så, kunne du gøre det lige her?"
03:12
And she said, "Yeah, but you know I'd rather finish my meal if you don't mind."
59
174000
3000
Og hun sagde, "Jo, men jeg vil hellere lige spise færdig, hvis det er i orden."
03:15
(Laughter)
60
177000
2000
(Latter)
03:17
But afterwards she was kind enough to demonstrate
61
179000
2000
Men bagefter var hun så venlig at demonstrere det
03:19
on a bench outside.
62
181000
2000
på en bænk udenfor.
03:21
It was remarkable. It took about one minute.
63
183000
2000
Det var bemærkelsesværdigt. Det tog cirka et minut.
03:23
And I said to her,
64
185000
3000
Og jeg sagde til hende,
03:26
"Are you just doing this all the time?"
65
188000
3000
"Gør du bare det her hele tiden?"
03:29
(Laughter)
66
191000
1000
(Latter)
03:30
She said, "No. Honestly when I get home I'm usually too tired."
67
192000
5000
Hun sagde, "Nej. Ærlig talt, når jeg kommer hjem er jeg tit for træt."
03:35
(Laughter)
68
197000
3000
(Latter)
03:38
She said that the last time she had done it
69
200000
3000
Hun sagde at sidste gang hun havde gjort det
03:41
was on the Disneyland tram.
70
203000
2000
var på sporvognen i Disneyland.
03:43
(Laughter)
71
205000
2000
(Latter)
03:45
The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve,
72
207000
3000
Hovedkvarteret for orgasmer, ned ad rygsøjlen,
03:48
is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.
73
210000
6000
er noget der hedder sakrale nerverod, som sidder heromme.
03:54
And if you trigger, if you stimulate with an electrode,
74
216000
3000
Hvis man trigger, hvis man stimulerer med en elektrode,
03:57
the precise spot, you will trigger an orgasm.
75
219000
4000
det præcise område, vil man udløse en orgasme.
04:01
And it is a fact that you can trigger spinal reflexes
76
223000
4000
Og det er et faktum at man kan udløse rygmarvs reflekser
04:05
in dead people --
77
227000
2000
hos døde mennesker --
04:07
a certain kind of dead person, a beating-heart cadaver.
78
229000
3000
en bestemt slags død person, et hjertebankende lig.
04:10
Now this is somebody who is brain-dead,
79
232000
2000
Nu er dette nogen der er hjernedød,
04:12
legally dead, definitely checked out,
80
234000
2000
officielt død, helt sikkert væk,
04:14
but is being kept alive on a respirator,
81
236000
2000
men holdes i live på en respirator,
04:16
so that their organs will be oxygenated
82
238000
2000
så deres organer bliver forsynet med ilt
04:18
for transplantation.
83
240000
2000
til transplantation.
04:20
Now in one of these brain-dead people,
84
242000
3000
I en af disse hjernedøde mennesker,
04:23
if you trigger the right spot,
85
245000
2000
hvis man trigger det rette område,
04:25
you will see something every now and then.
86
247000
3000
vil man se noget af og til.
04:28
There is a reflex called the Lazarus reflex.
87
250000
2000
Dette er en refleks der hedder Lazarusrefleksen.
04:30
And this is -- I'll demonstrate as best I can, not being dead.
88
252000
6000
Og dette er -- jeg vil demonstrere det så godt jeg kan, uden at være død.
04:36
It's like this. You trigger the spot.
89
258000
2000
Det virker sådan her. Man trigger punktet.
04:38
The dead guy, or gal, goes ... like that.
90
260000
5000
Den døde fyr, eller pige, gør .. sådan.
04:43
Very unsettling for people working in pathology labs.
91
265000
3000
Meget foruroligende for menesker der arbejder i patologi laboratorier.
04:46
(Laughter)
92
268000
1000
(Latter)
04:47
Now if you can trigger the Lazarus reflex in a dead person,
93
269000
5000
Så hvis man kan udløse Lazarus effekten hos en død person,
04:52
why not the orgasm reflex?
94
274000
3000
hvorfor ikke orgasmerefleksen?
04:55
I asked this question to a brain death expert,
95
277000
4000
Jeg stillede spørgsmålet til en ekspert i hjernedødhed,
04:59
Stephanie Mann, who was foolish enough to return my emails.
96
281000
3000
Stephanie Mann, der var dum nok til at svare på mine emails.
05:02
(Laughter)
97
284000
1000
(Latter)
05:03
I said, "So, could you conceivably
98
285000
3000
Jeg sagde, "Så, man kunne muligvis
05:06
trigger an orgasm in a dead person?"
99
288000
2000
udløse en orgasme hos en død person?"
05:08
She said, "Yes, if the sacral nerve is being oxygenated,
100
290000
2000
Hun sagde, "Ja, hvis den sakrale nerve bliver iltet,
05:10
you conceivably could."
101
292000
4000
kunne man muligvis gøre det."
05:14
Obviously it wouldn't be as much fun for the person.
102
296000
4000
Det ville selvsagt ikke være lige så sjovt for personen.
05:18
But it would be an orgasm --
103
300000
2000
Men det ville være en orgasme --
05:20
(Laughter)
104
302000
1000
(Latter)
05:21
nonetheless.
105
303000
2000
ikke desto mindre.
05:23
I actually suggested to -- there is a researcher at the University of Alabama
106
305000
3000
Jeg foreslog faktisk at -- der er en forsker ved University of Alabama
05:26
who does orgasm research.
107
308000
2000
der forsker i orgasmer.
05:28
I said to her, "You should do an experiment.
108
310000
2000
Jeg sagde til hende, "Du skulle udføre et eksperiment.
05:30
You know? You can get cadavers if you work at a university."
109
312000
3000
Du ved? Man kan få lig når man arbejder ved et universitet."
05:33
I said, "You should actually do this."
110
315000
2000
Jeg sagde, "Du burde virkelig gøre det."
05:35
She said, "You get the human subjects review board approval for this one."
111
317000
3000
Hun sagde, "Man får det menneskelige forsøgspersons udvalg godkendelse til dette."
05:38
(Laughter)
112
320000
2000
(Latter)
05:40
According to 1930s marriage manual author,
113
322000
3000
Ifølge en ægteskabs manual forfatter fra 1930,
05:43
Theodoor van de Velde,
114
325000
2000
Theodor van de Velde,
05:45
a slight seminal odor can be detected on the breath of a woman
115
327000
4000
kan der spores en lettere sæd duft i en kvindes ånde
05:49
within about an hour after sexual intercourse.
116
331000
4000
inden for den første time efter seksuelt samvær.
05:53
Theodoor van de Velde was something of a semen connoisseur.
117
335000
4000
Theodor van de Velde var noget af en sædkender.
05:57
(Laughter)
118
339000
2000
(Latter)
05:59
This is a guy writing a book, "Ideal Marriage," you know.
119
341000
2000
Dette er en fyr der skriver en bog, "Ideal Marriage," I ved.
06:01
Very heavy hetero guy.
120
343000
3000
Utrolig hetero fyr.
06:04
But he wrote in this book, "Ideal Marriage" --
121
346000
2000
Man han skrev i sin bog, "Ideal Marriage" --
06:06
he said that he could differentiate between the semen of a young man,
122
348000
4000
han sagde at han kunne kende forskel på sæden fra en ung mand,
06:10
which he said had a fresh, exhilarating smell,
123
352000
4000
som han sagde havde en frisk, opløftende duft,
06:14
and the semen of mature men,
124
356000
2000
og sæden fra mere modne mænd,
06:16
whose semen smelled quote,
125
358000
2000
hvis sæd lugtede citat,
06:18
"Remarkably like that of the flowers of the Spanish chestnut.
126
360000
3000
"Bemærkelsesværdigt som blomsten fra en spansk kastanje.
06:21
Sometimes quite freshly floral,
127
363000
2000
Nogle gange frisk blomstret,
06:23
and then again sometimes extremely pungent."
128
365000
2000
og så nogen gange ekstremt skarp."
06:25
(Laughter)
129
367000
5000
(Latter)
06:30
Okay. In 1999, in the state of Israel,
130
372000
3000
Okay. I 1999, i staten Israel,
06:33
a man began hiccupping.
131
375000
2000
fik en mand hikke.
06:35
And this was one of those cases that went on and on.
132
377000
3000
Og dette var en af de tilfælde der forsatte og fortsatte.
06:38
He tried everything his friends suggested.
133
380000
2000
Han havde prøvet alt hans venner foreslog.
06:40
Nothing seemed to help.
134
382000
2000
Intet lod til at hjælpe.
06:42
Days went by. At a certain point, the man,
135
384000
3000
Dage gik. På et tidspunkt, manden,
06:45
still hiccupping, had sex with his wife.
136
387000
3000
stadigt hikkende, havde han sex med sin kone.
06:48
And lo and behold, the hiccups went away.
137
390000
2000
Og tænk engang, hikken forsvandt.
06:50
He told his doctor, who published a case report
138
392000
4000
Han fortalte det til sin læge, der udgav en rapport
06:54
in a Canadian medical journal under the title,
139
396000
3000
i en canadisk medicinsk journal med titlen,
06:57
"Sexual Intercourse as a Potential Treatment
140
399000
2000
"Sexual Intercourse as a Potential Treatment
06:59
for Intractable Hiccups."
141
401000
3000
for Intractable Hiccups."
07:02
I love this article because at a certain point they suggested
142
404000
3000
Jeg elsker denne artikel, fordi de på et tidspunkt foreslog
07:05
that unattached hiccuppers could try masturbation.
143
407000
4000
at single folk med hikke kunne prøve at masturbere.
07:09
(Laughter)
144
411000
1000
(Latter)
07:10
I love that because there is like a whole demographic: unattached hiccuppers.
145
412000
4000
Jeg elsker det fordi der er bare en hel demografi: single mennesker med hikke.
07:14
(Laughter)
146
416000
2000
(Latter)
07:16
Married, single, unattached hiccupper.
147
418000
6000
Gifte, singler,single mennesker med hikke.
07:22
In the 1900s, early 1900s
148
424000
3000
I 1900'erne og tidlige 1900'er
07:25
gynecologists, a lot of gynecologists believed
149
427000
2000
gynækologer, mange gynækologer mente
07:27
that when a woman has an orgasm
150
429000
3000
at når en kvinde fik en orgasme
07:30
the contractions serve to suck the semen up through the cervix
151
432000
5000
skal sammentrækingerne suge sæden op gennem livmoderhalsen
07:35
and sort of deliver it really quickly to the egg,
152
437000
2000
og på en måde aflevere det virkelig hurtigt til ægget,
07:37
thereby upping the odds of conception.
153
439000
3000
derved forhøje oddsene for undfangelse.
07:40
It was called the "upsuck" theory.
154
442000
2000
Det hed "upsuck" teorien.
07:42
(Laughter)
155
444000
2000
(Latter)
07:44
If you go all the way back to Hippocrates,
156
446000
5000
Hvis vi går helt tilbage til Hippocrates,
07:49
physicians believed that orgasm in women was not just
157
451000
3000
troede fysikere på at orgasmen i kvinden ikke kun var
07:52
helpful for conception, but necessary.
158
454000
3000
behjælpelige med undfangelsen, men nødvendige.
07:55
Doctors back then were routinely telling men
159
457000
4000
Lægerne dengang fortalte mænd jævnligt
07:59
the importance of pleasuring their wives.
160
461000
4000
om vigtigheden af at glæde deres kone.

Theodoor van de Velde --
162
467000
2000
Theodor van de Velde --
08:07
(Laughter)
163
469000
1000
(Latter)
08:08
has a line in his book.
164
470000
3000
har en linje i sin bog.
08:11
I loved this guy. I got a lot of mileage out of Theodoor van de Velde.
165
473000
4000
Jeg elskede denne fyr. Jeg fik en masse gode ting ud af Theodor van de Velde.
08:15
He had this line in his book
166
477000
2000
Han havde en linje i sin bog
08:17
that supposedly comes from the Habsburg Monarchy,
167
479000
3000
der efter sigende kommer fra det habsburgske monarki,
08:20
where there was an empress Maria Theresa,
168
482000
3000
hvor der var en herskerinde Maria Theresa,
08:23
who was having trouble conceiving.
169
485000
2000
der havde problemer med at undfange.
08:25
And apparently the royal court physician said to her,
170
487000
3000
Og tilsyneladende sagde lægen ved det royale hof til hende,
08:28
"I am of the opinion
171
490000
2000
"Jeg er af den mening
08:30
that the vulva of your most sacred majesty
172
492000
2000
at deres meste hellige majestæts vulva
08:32
be titillated for some time prior to intercourse."
173
494000
3000
bør pirres i noget tid inden samlejet."
08:35
(Laughter)
174
497000
1000
(Latter)
08:36
It's apparently, I don't know, on the record somewhere.
175
498000
4000
Det er åbenbart, jeg ved det ikke, skrevet ned et eller andet sted.
08:40
Masters and Johnson: now we're moving forward to the 1950s.
176
502000
4000
Masters og Johnson: nu går vi frem til 1950'erne.
08:44
Masters and Johnson were upsuck skeptics,
177
506000
3000
Masters og Johnson var skeptikere overfor "upsuck" teorien
08:47
which is also really fun to say.
178
509000
3000
hvilket også er virkelig sjovt at sige.
08:50
They didn't buy it.
179
512000
2000
De troede ikke på det.
08:52
And they decided, being Masters and Johnson,
180
514000
2000
Og de besluttede, værende Masters og Johnson,
08:54
that they would get to the bottom of it.
181
516000
2000
at de ville nå til bunds i det.
08:56
They brought women into the lab -- I think it was five women --
182
518000
3000
De bragte kvinder ind i laboratoriet -- jeg mener det var fem kvinder --
08:59
and outfitted them with cervical caps
183
521000
3000
og udstyrede dem med hætter i livmoderhalsen
09:02
containing artificial semen.
184
524000
3000
der indeholdt kunstigt sæd.
09:05
And in the artificial semen
185
527000
2000
Og i den kunstige sæd
09:07
was a radio-opaque substance,
186
529000
2000
var der en radio-uigennemsigtig substans,
09:09
such that it would show up on an X-ray.
187
531000
3000
så den ville vise sig på et røntgenbillede.
09:12
This is the 1950s.
188
534000
2000
Dette er 1950'erne.
09:14
Anyway these women sat in front of an X-ray device.
189
536000
4000
I hvert fald satte disse kvinder sig foran en røntgenmaskine.
09:18
And they masturbated.
190
540000
2000
Og de masturberede.
09:20
And Masters and Johnson looked to see if the semen was being sucked up.
191
542000
4000
Og Masters og Johnson kiggede efter om sæden blev suget op.
09:24
Did not find any evidence of upsuck.
192
546000
2000
De fandt ikke nogen beviser på "upsuck" teorien.
09:26
You may be wondering, "How do you make artificial semen?"
193
548000
4000
I undrer jer måske over, "Hvordan laver man kunstig sæd?"
09:30
(Laughter)
194
552000
5000
(Latter)
09:35
I have an answer for you. I have two answers.
195
557000
2000
Jeg har et svar til jer. Jeg har to svar.
09:37
You can use flour and water, or cornstarch and water.
196
559000
3000
Man kan bruge mel og vand, eller majsmel og vand.
09:40
I actually found three separate recipes in the literature.
197
562000
4000
Jeg fandt faktisk tre forskellige opskrifter i litteraturen.
09:44
(Laughter)
198
566000
1000
(Latter)
09:45
My favorite being the one that says --
199
567000
2000
Min favorit er den der siger --
09:47
you know, they have the ingredients listed,
200
569000
2000
I ved, der har ingredienserne på en liste,
09:49
and then in a recipe it will say, for example,
201
571000
2000
og i en opskrift vil der så stå, for eksempel,
09:51
"Yield: two dozen cupcakes."
202
573000
2000
"Mængde: to dusin cupcakes."
09:53
This one said, "Yield: one ejaculate."
203
575000
3000
På denne stod der, "Mængde: en udløsning."
09:56
(Laughter)
204
578000
3000
(Latter)
09:59
There's another way that orgasm might boost fertility.
205
581000
2000
Der er en anden måde hvorpå en orgasme kan booste fertiliteten.
10:01
This one involves men.
206
583000
2000
Denne involverer mænd.
10:03
Sperm that sit around in the body for a week or more
207
585000
2000
Sæd der sidder rundt om i kroppen i en uge eller mere
10:05
start to develop abnormalities
208
587000
3000
begynder at udvikle abnormaliteter
10:08
that make them less effective at head-banging their way
209
590000
2000
der gør dem mindre effektive til at headbange deres vej
10:10
into the egg.
210
592000
2000
ind til ægget.
10:12
British sexologist Roy Levin
211
594000
2000
Den britiske sexolog Roy Levin
10:14
has speculated that this is perhaps why men
212
596000
2000
har spekuleret over at dette måske er grunden til at mænd
10:16
evolved to be such enthusiastic and frequent masturbators.
213
598000
4000
udviklede sig til at være så entusiastiske og hyppige onanister.
10:20
He said, "If I keep tossing myself off
214
602000
2000
Han sagde, "Hvis jeg bliver ved med at masturbere
10:22
I get fresh sperm being made."
215
604000
2000
bliver der lavet frisk sæd."
10:24
Which I thought was an interesting idea, theory.
216
606000
4000
Hvilket jeg synes var en interessant ide, teori.
10:28
So now you have an evolutionary excuse.
217
610000
2000
Så nu har I en evolutionær undskyldning.
10:30
(Laughter)
218
612000
4000
(Latter)
10:34
Okay.
219
616000
3000
Okay.
10:37
(Laughter)
220
619000
2000
(Latter)
10:39
Alrighty. There is considerable evidence for upsuck in the animal kingdom --
221
621000
5000
Okay. Der er en anseelig mængde bevis på "upsuck" teorien i dyreriget --
10:44
pigs, for instance.
222
626000
2000
grise, for eksempel.
10:46
In Denmark, the Danish National Committee for Pig Production
223
628000
4000
I Danmark, fandt Danish National Committee for Pig Production
10:50
found out that if you
224
632000
2000
ud af at hvis man
10:52
sexually stimulate a sow while you artificially inseminate her,
225
634000
4000
stimulerer en so seksuelt mens man inseminerer hende,
10:56
you will see a six-percent increase in the farrowing rate,
226
638000
3000
vil man se en seks procent forøgelse i fare mængden,
10:59
which is the number of piglets produced.
227
641000
3000
hvilket er antallet af grislinger der produceres.
11:02
So they came up with this plan, this five-point stimulation plan
228
644000
3000
Så de fandt på denne plan, denne fem punkts stimulerings plan
11:05
for the sows.
229
647000
2000
for soerne.
11:07
And they had the farmers -- there is posters they put in the barn,
230
649000
3000
Og de fik bønderne -- der er plakatter som de hænger op i laden,
11:10
and they have a DVD.
231
652000
2000
og de har en DVD.
11:12
And I got a copy of this DVD.
232
654000
2000
Og jeg fik en kopi af denne DVD.
11:14
(Laughter)
233
656000
1000
(Latter)
11:15
This is my unveiling, because I am going to show you a clip.
234
657000
4000
Dette er min afsløring, fordi jeg vil vise jer et klip.
11:19
(Laughter)
235
661000
2000
(Latter)
11:21
So uh, okay.
236
663000
2000
Så uh, okay.
11:23
Now here we go in to the -- la la la, off to work.
237
665000
3000
Nu går vi her ind til -- la la la, afsted på arbejde.
11:26
It all looks very innocent.
238
668000
3000
Det ser alt sammen meget uskyldigt ud.
11:29
He's going to be doing things with his hands
239
671000
2000
Han kommer til at gøre ting med sine hænder
11:31
that the boar would use his snout, lacking hands. Okay.
240
673000
4000
hvor ornen ville bruge sin snude, i mangel på hænder. Okay.
11:35
(Laughter)
241
677000
3000
(Latter)
11:38
This is it. The boar has a very odd courtship repertoire.
242
680000
5000
Her er det. Ornen har et meget mærkelig repertoire af bejlen.
11:43
(Laughter)
243
685000
4000
(Latter)
11:47
This is to mimic the weight of the boar.
244
689000
2000
Dette er for at efterligne ornens vægt.
11:49
(Laughter)
245
691000
3000
(Latter)
11:52
You should know, the clitoris of the pig, inside the vagina.
246
694000
3000
I bør vide, grisens klitoris, inde i vagina.
11:55
So this may be sort of titillating for her. Here we go.
247
697000
3000
Så dette må være en slags kilden for hende. Sådan.
11:58
(Laughter)
248
700000
22000
(Latter)
12:20
And the happy result.
249
722000
2000
Og det glædelige resultat.
12:22
(Applause)
250
724000
2000
(Bifald)
12:24
I love this video.
251
726000
2000
Jeg elsker denne video.
12:26
There is a point in this video, towards the beginning
252
728000
2000
Der er et punkt i denne video, i begyndelsen
12:28
where they zoom in for a close up of his hand with his wedding ring,
253
730000
2000
hvor de zoomer in for et close up af hans hånd med vielsesringen,
12:30
as if to say, "It's okay, it's just his job. He really does like women."
254
732000
5000
for ligesom at sige, "Det er okay, det er bare hans arbejde. Han kan virkelig godt lide kvinder."
12:35
(Laughter)
255
737000
4000
(Latter)
12:39
Okay. Now I said -- when I was in Denmark, my host was named Anne Marie.
256
741000
3000
Okay. Nu sagde jeg -- da jeg var i Danmark, hed min vært Anne Marie.
12:42
And I said, "So why don't you just stimulate the clitoris of the pig?
257
744000
6000
Og jeg sagde, "Hvorfor stimulerer I ikke bare grisens klitoris?
12:48
Why don't you have the farmers do that?
258
750000
2000
Hvorfor får I ikke bønderne til at gøre det?
12:50
That's not one of your five steps."
259
752000
2000
Det er ikke et af jeres fem skridt."
12:52
She said -- I have to read you what she said, because I love it.
260
754000
2000
Hun sagde -- jeg bliver nød til at læse det for jer hvad hun sagde, fordi jeg elsker det.
12:54
She said, "It was a big hurdle
261
756000
2000
Hun sagde, "Det var en stor hurdle
12:56
just to get farmers to touch underneath the vulva.
262
758000
3000
bare for at få bønderne til at røre dem under vulva.
12:59
So we thought, let's not mention the clitoris right now."
263
761000
3000
Så vi tænkte, lad os ikke nævne klitorisen lige nu."
13:02
(Laughter)
264
764000
5000
(Latter)
13:07
Shy but ambitious pig farmers, however, can purchase a -- this is true --
265
769000
3000
Generte, men ambitiøse svinebønder, derimod, kan købe en -- dette er sandt --
13:10
a sow vibrator,
266
772000
2000
en so vibrator,
13:12
that hangs on the sperm feeder tube to vibrate.
267
774000
2000
der hænger på sæd fodrings slangen for at vibrere.
13:14
Because, as I mentioned,
268
776000
3000
Fordi, som jeg nævnte,
13:17
the clitoris is inside the vagina.
269
779000
2000
er klitoris inde i vaginaen.
13:19
So possibly, you know, a little more arousing than it looks.
270
781000
3000
Så muligvis, I ved, en smule mere ophidsende end det ser ud.
13:22
And I also said to her,
271
784000
2000
Og jeg sagde også til hende,
13:24
"Now these sows. I mean, you may have noticed there,
272
786000
2000
"Disse soer. Jeg mener, du har måske lagt mærke til der,
13:26
The sow doesn't look to be in the throes of ecstasy."
273
788000
3000
Soen ser ikke ud til at være hengivet i glæde."
13:29
And she said, you can't make that conclusion,
274
791000
2000
Og hun sagde, man kan ikke lave den konklusion,
13:31
because animals don't register
275
793000
3000
fordi dyr ikke registrerer
13:34
pain or pleasure on their faces in the same way that we do.
276
796000
2000
smerte eller glæde i deres ansigt på samme måde som vi gør.
13:36
They tend to -- pigs, for example, are more like dogs.
277
798000
4000
De har en tendens til -- grise, for eksempel, er mere ligesom hunde.
13:40
They use the upper half of the face; the ears are very expressive.
278
802000
3000
De bruger den øverste halvdel af deres ansigt; ørerne er meget udtryksfulde.
13:43
So you're not really sure what's going on with the pig.
279
805000
3000
Så man er ikke helt sikker på hvad der sker med grisen.
13:46
Primates, on the other hand, we use our mouths more.
280
808000
4000
Primater, på den anden side, vi bruger vores mund mere.
13:50
This is the ejaculation face of the stump-tailed macaque.
281
812000
4000
Dette er udløsnings ansigtet af en stumphalet makak.
13:54
(Laughter)
282
816000
2000
(Latter)
13:56
And, interestingly, this has been observed in female macaques,
283
818000
4000
Og, interessant nok, er dette blevet observeret i hun makaker,
14:00
but only when mounting another female.
284
822000
4000
men kun når de bestiger en anden hun.
14:04
(Laughter)
285
826000
3000
(Latter)
14:07
Masters and Johnson, in the 1950s, they decided,
286
829000
2000
Masters og Johnson, i 1950'erne, besluttede,
14:09
okay, we're going to figure out the entire human sexual response cycle,
287
831000
5000
okay, vi skal regne hele den menneskelige seksuelle respons system ud,
14:14
from arousal, all the way through orgasm, in men and women --
288
836000
3000
fra opstemthed, hele vejen gennem orgasme, hos mænd og kvinder --
14:17
everything that happens in the human body.
289
839000
2000
alt der sker i den menneskelige krop.
14:19
Okay, with women, a lot of this is happening inside.
290
841000
3000
Okay, hos kvinder, sker der en hel masse indeni.
14:22
This did not stop Masters and Johnson.
291
844000
2000
Dette holdte ikke Masters og Johnson tilbage.
14:24
They developed an artificial coition machine.
292
846000
5000
De udviklede en kunstig samlejemaskine.
14:29
This is basically a penis camera on a motor.
293
851000
3000
Dette er dybest set et penis kamera på en motor.
14:32
There is a phallus,
294
854000
2000
Der er en fallos,
14:34
clear acrylic phallus, with a camera and a light source,
295
856000
3000
gennemsigtig akryl fallos, med et kamera og en lyskilde,
14:37
attached to a motor that is kind of going like this.
296
859000
3000
sat fast på en motor der mere eller mindre bevæger sig sådan her.
14:40
And the woman would have sex with it.
297
862000
3000
Og kvinden havde sex med den.
14:43
That is what they would do. Pretty amazing.

Det er det de gjorde. Temmelig utroligt.
14:45
Sadly, this device has been dismantled.
299
867000
2000
Desværre, er dette apparat blevet skilt ad.
14:47
This just kills me, not because I wanted to use it --
300
869000
2000
Det piner mig, ikke fordi jeg vil bruge den --
14:49
I wanted to see it.
301
871000
3000
jeg ville se den.
14:52
(Laughter)
302
874000
3000
(Latter)
14:55
One fine day
303
877000
3000
En fin dag
14:58
Alfred Kinsey decided
304
880000
3000
besluttede Alfred Kinsey
15:01
to calculate the average distance traveled by ejaculated semen.
305
883000
5000
at udregne den gennemsnitlige afstand som udløst sæd rejser.
15:06
This was not idle curiosity.
306
888000
2000
Dette var ikke indholdsløs nysgerrighed.
15:08
Doctor Kinsey had heard --
307
890000
4000
Doktor Kinsey havde hørt --
15:12
and there was a theory kind of going around at the time, this being the 1940s --
308
894000
3000
og der cirkulerede en teori på det tidspunkt, dette var i starten af 1940'erne --
15:15
that the force with which
309
897000
2000
at den kraft hvormed
15:17
semen is thrown against the cervix
310
899000
2000
sæd blev kastet imod livmoderhalsen
15:19
was a factor in fertility.
311
901000
3000
var en faktor for fertiliteten.
15:22
Kinsey thought it was bunk, so he got to work.
312
904000
3000
Kinsey mente det var sludder, så han begyndte at arbejde med det.
15:25
He got together in his lab
313
907000
3000
Han samlede 300 mænd
15:28
300 men, a measuring tape, and a movie camera.
314
910000
5000
i sit laboratorie, et målebånd, og et filmkamera.
15:33
(Laughter)
315
915000
2000
(Latter)
15:35
And in fact he found
316
917000
2000
Og faktisk fandt han
15:37
that in three quarters of the men
317
919000
3000
at hos tre fjerdedele af mændene
15:40
the stuff just kind of slopped out.
318
922000
2000
spildte stadset mere eller mindre ud.
15:42
It wasn't spurted or thrown or ejected under great force.
319
924000
4000
Det blev ikke sprøjtet eller kastet eller skudt ud under stort pres.
15:46
However, the record holder
320
928000
4000
Dog landede rekordholderen
15:50
landed just shy of the eight-foot mark, which is impressive.
321
932000
2000
lige inden 2,5 meter mærket, hvilket er imponerende.
15:52
(Laughter)
322
934000
2000
(Latter)
15:54
(Applause)
323
936000
1000
(Bifald)
15:55
Yes. Exactly.
324
937000
2000
Ja. Præcis.
15:57
(Laughter)
325
939000
1000
(Latter)
15:58
Sadly, he's anonymous. His name is not mentioned.
326
940000
3000
Desværre, er han anonym. Hans navn er ikke nævnt.
16:01
In his write-up,
327
943000
4000
I sin anmeldelse,
16:05
in his write-up of this experiment in his book,
328
947000
2000
i sin anmeldelse af hans eksperiment i sin bog,
16:07
Kinsey wrote,
329
949000
3000
skrev Kinsey,
16:10
"Two sheets were laid down to protect the oriental carpets."
330
952000
4000
"To lagener blev lagt ned for at beskytte de orientalske tæpper."
16:14
(Laughter)
331
956000
2000
(Latter)
16:16
Which is my second favorite line
332
958000
2000
Hvilket er min anden yndlingslinje
16:18
in the entire oeuvre of Alfred Kinsey.
333
960000
2000
i hele hele Alfred Kinseys værk.
16:20
My favorite being, "Cheese crumbs spread before a pair of copulating rats
334
962000
4000
Min yndlings værende, "Spredte oste krummer for et kopulerende par mus
16:24
will distract the female, but not the male."
335
966000
3000
vil distrahere hunnen, men ikke hannen."
16:27
(Laughter)
336
969000
2000
(Latter)
16:29
Thank you very much.
337
971000
2000
Mange tak.
16:31
(Applause)
338
973000
4000
(Bifald)
16:35
Thanks!
339
977000
2000
Tak!
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mary Roach - WriterDeath, the afterlife, and now sex -- Mary Roach tackles the most pondered and least understood conundrums that have baffled humans for centuries. (She's funny, too.)
Why you should listen
Freelance writer and humorist turned accidental science journalist Mary Roach likes to ask the questions we all wonder about but are usually too polite to mention. What happens after we die, anyway? How fast do cadavers rot? Can a corpse have an orgasm?
Writing the Health & Body column for Salon.com quickened her interest in the dead -- that, and looking at the hit count for her columns on cadavers. Her books Stiff and Spook sprung out of research done for a proposed Salon column called the Dead Beat (sadly, it was killed). Her most recent book, Bonk, is a romp through the current landscape of gynecology, sex research and the adult novelty industry.
In addition to her dry (and sometimes silly) wit, Roach has a penchant for funny voices, faking her way through interviews with expert scientists, and wheedling her way into strange locales, among them a dildo factory and under the business end of an ultrasound wand during coitus.
