Pssst, Kid... Wanna See An MRI Of People Having Sex?

We all know you were Googling "X-ray sex" in some sort of comic book fantasy slipup, but you ended up here instead. It's okay-- this is science and we're all adults here. There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Well, besides how weird getting freaky looks when seen through an MRI (starting at the 1:35 mark). YouTube explains:
Dr. Pek Van Andel, who won an Ig Nobel Prize for making the first MRI images of a couple's sex organs while those organs were in use, also made a video of the phenomenon. Here, more or less, is the world premiere of that video.
If you didn't think dicks looked weird or hilarious before, you probably do now. Thanks, medical advances.
(P.S. Photos of MRI sex have floated around the internet for years. This is the first time that we can remember seeing a video, although it may have been around awhile.)

Yes it's always the penis that has to "look funny or hilarious" Would you have dared said that about female vaginas? Less misandry please, asshole
i have a feeling this guy has been told he has a funny looking penis one too many times.
:) "like" for your answer Lori
I mean... as a dude... it does. Conceptually female genetalia is almost as absurd, but on a purly aesthetic level, male junk is *really weird*. There is no value judgement to that, I don't think the penis is *distasteful* or somehow "lesser" due to it's weirdness... but it is weird.
Agreed. Penis=weird.
ya it is...u shud hav a weird in ur mouth
I think assholes look pretty weird and hilarious.
and he gets a nobel prize for this?
A Nobel Prize? This is no different from photocopying your genitals; the doc just has cooler toys at his disposal than do us typical office droids.
He was awarded an -Ig- Nobel prize, from the folks at the Annals of Improbable Research. Other notable Ig-Nobel winning work includes such gems as "the first scientifically recorded case of homosexual necrophilia in the mallard duck".
doin it 4 science
Female Vaginas? there are other kinds?
Manginas. :P
i did not get a chubby watching this, but it was interesting to watch stuff slosh around in there.
Her parts were being rammed into!
the ultimate nerd porn!
does anyone else think that video looks alot like some pickled pigs feet sloshing around in a jar? mmmmmmmmmhm! i am hungry!
have you ever been IN an MRI magnet? it's tiny. I am not fat but i feel cramped in there. I can barely imagine 2 people fitting in there at the same time (pygmies, maybe?) let alone move... the things people do in the name of science
Coit is known since origin of species! All know how to do it naturally, even animals... To get a Nobel about telling us that you can see... it is ludicrous when the discoverer of the TEST PAP was refused the NOBEL price!
this is what i was missing from my -porn to watch- list, now im done.
Having a vagina myself, I think they're a lot weirder looking than a penis. A penis looks like pretty things in nature: a banana, a cucumber, or an elephant's nose, while the testicles look like cute kiwis, eggs, etc. I believe since the penis is so pleasing, there are many items that have been shaped like penises in our culture like rockets, airplanes, etc. What does a female vagina look like? A mussel. Ever really looked at a mussel in a shell? Not really that aesthetically pleasing. The only thing a vagina has going for it visually is that no two are the same. Look it up. There are no standards for the size or look of any parts of the vagina.
You apparently have not been exposed to the art of Georgia O' Keefe...vaginas resemble many beautiful things in nature, lilies, roses, orchids and all manner of other flowers. Personally those things are way more attractive than rockets and airplanes or even bananas or other oblong fruit...the vagina is way more beautiful imo....
Flowers? Are you mental? A vagina looks like a bulldog trying to chew bubble gum. Penises, on the other hand, are beautiful.
I have a beautiful penis.
You really do.
Vaginas look lIke a can of Tuna Fish!
I think its really funny that he gets a noble price for videotaping 2 people having sex under an MRI. Can't wait to see THIS in the adult movie section in a few weeks -.-
