Alright. I'm going to show you a couple of images from a very diverting paper in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine. I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that it is the most diverting paper ever published in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine. The title is "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation."
Mela se nurikhom xi stampi, minn riċerka pjaċevoli, mhux tas-soltu, minn go "The Journal of Ultrasound in Medecine" U hawn ha nissogra ngħid li dan hu l-izjed artiklu pjaċevoli li qatt ġie ipubblikat f'"The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine" It-titlu hu "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation." - "Osservazzjoni ta` Masturbazzjoni fil-guf"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
Okay. Now on the left you can see the hand -- that's the big arrow -- and the penis on the right. The hand hovering. And over here we have, in the words of radiologist Israel Meisner, "The hand grasping the penis in a fashion resembling masturbation movements." Bear in mind this was an ultrasound, so it would have been moving images.
Okay. Mela fuq ix-xellug tistaw taraw l-id. Dik il-vleġġa l-kbira. U l-pene fuq il-lemin. Bl-id qeda il-fuq. U fuq din in-naħa għandna fil-kliem tar-radjoloġista Iżraeljan Meisner, "L-id taqbad il-pene, f'movimenti assoċċjati mal-masturbazzjoni" Żommu f'moħħkhom li dan "ultrasound". Jiġifieri li dawn ikunu stampa tiċċallaq.
Orgasm is a reflex of the autonomic nervous system. Now, this is the part of the nervous system that deals with the things that we don't consciously control, like digestion, heart rate and sexual arousal. And the orgasm reflex can be triggered by a surprisingly broad range of input. Genital stimulation. Duh. But also, Kinsey interviewed a woman who could be brought to orgasm by having someone stroke her eyebrow. People with spinal cord injuries, like paraplegias, quadriplegias, will often develop a very, very sensitive area right above the level of their injury, wherever that is. There is such a thing as a knee orgasm in the literature.
L-Orgażmu huwa prodott tas-sistema nervuż awtonomiku. Din hija il-parti mis-sistema nervuża li tieħu ħsieb dawk l-affarijiet li man nkunux konxji minnhom. bħad-diġestjoni, ir-ritmu tal-qalb, u l-istimulu sesswali. L-orgażmu jista jiġi stimulat b'ħafna modi. Stimulazzjoni ġenitali. Duh. Imma fl-istess ħin Kinsey, kellu intervista ma mara, li setgħet torgażma billi xi ħadd jmellsila il-ħaġeb<i>. </i>eyebrow Uħud bi ħsara fl-ispina, bħal parapliġja u kwadrupliġja, fi kliem ieħor paraliżi ħafna drabi jkollhom xi parti sensittiva ħafna ħafna eżatt il-fuq minn fejn weġġgħu. Tkun fejn tkun.
I think the most curious one that I came across was a case report of a woman who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth.
Hemm dokumentat orgażmu tal-irkoppa fil-kitba. Naħseb l-iżjed każ kurjuż li qatt iltqajt miegħu kien il-każ irappurtat taċ waħda mara
(Laughter)
li kellha orgażmu kull darba li taħsel sniena.
Something in the complex sensory-motor action of brushing her teeth was triggering orgasm. And she went to a neurologist, who was fascinated. He checked to see if it was something in the toothpaste, but no -- it happened with any brand. They stimulated her gums with a toothpick, to see if that was doing it. No. It was the whole, you know, motion. And the amazing thing to me is that you would think this woman would have excellent oral hygiene.
(Iżjed daħq) Din kellha x'taqsam, mal-movimenti li tagħmel waqt il-ħasil ta` snien li kien qed iġegħla torgażma Imsomma, dil-mara marret għand in-neuroloġista li ħa nteress kbir f'dan il-każ. Għal l-ewwel iċċekja jekk kienx mit-"toothpaste". Imma le, tkun liema tkun id-ditta, ma tagħmilx differenza. Stimulawla il-ħanek b'toothpick, biex jaraw jekk jirnexxilhomx. Le, xejn. Kien il-proċess kollu li kien qed jagħti dar-riżultat. U l-biċċa stramba għalija hi, li ovvjament se timmaġina li dil-mara se jkollha
(Laughter)
iġene orali eċċelenti.
Sadly -- this is what it said in the journal paper -- "She believed that she was possessed by demons and switched to mouthwash for her oral care." It's so sad.
(Daħq) Sfortunatament, skond il-ġurnal, "Kienet temmen li kienet iposseduta mix-xjaten u bdiet tuża mouthwash għal iġene orali" Miskina.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
When I was working on the book, I interviewed a woman who can think herself to orgasm. She was part of a study at Rutgers University. You've got to love that. Rutgers. So I interviewed her in Oakland, in a sushi restaurant. And I said, "So, could you do it right here?" And she said, "Yeah, but you know I'd rather finish my meal if you don't mind."
Meta kont qeda naħdem fuq il-ktieb, kelli intervista ma mara, li bil-ħsieb biss, kien ikollha orgażmu. Dil-mara kienet parti mill-istudju ta l-Universita taċ Rutgers. Ma tistax ma toġgħbokx. Rutgers. Mela kelli l-intervista magħha f'Oakland f'ristorant li jservi sushi (ikel ġappuniż). Staqsejta "Allura, jista jkollok orgażmu issa, hawnhekk?" U rrispondiet "Iva, imma jekk ma jimpurtax nippreferi nkompli niekol"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
But afterwards, she was kind enough to demonstrate on a bench outside. It was remarkable. It took about one minute. And I said to her, "Are you just doing this all the time?"
Wara l-ikla għamlitli dimostrazzjoni fuq bank barra. Kienet xi ħaga rimarkabbli. ħadet xi minuta biss. U staqsejta, "Allura tagħmel hekk il-ħin kollu?"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
She said, "No. Honestly, when I get home, I'm usually too tired."
Qaltli "Le. Onestament meta nasal id-dar, nkun għajjiena ħafna issoltu"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
She said that the last time she had done it was on the Disneyland tram.
Qaltli li l-aħħar darba li għamlita kienet fuq tram f'Disneyland.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve, is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here. And if you trigger, if you stimulate with an electrode, the precise spot, you will trigger an orgasm. And it is a fact that you can trigger spinal reflexes in dead people -- a certain kind of dead person, a beating-heart cadaver. Now this is somebody who is brain-dead, legally dead, definitely checked out, but is being kept alive on a respirator, so that their organs will be oxygenated for transplantation. Now in one of these brain-dead people, if you trigger the right spot, you will see something every now and then. There is a reflex called the Lazarus reflex. And this is -- I'll demonstrate as best I can, not being dead. It's like this. You trigger the spot. The dead guy, or gal, goes... like that. Very unsettling for people working in pathology labs.
Is-sors ewlieni ta` l-orgażmu, qiegħda man-nervituri tad-dahar f'xi ħaġa msejħa is-"sacral nerve root". Li qeda hawn wara. U jekk tistimula, b'electrode (xokk żgħir) il-punt eżatt, se jkollok orgażmu. Filfatt jista jkollok rispons ta` l-ispina f'nies mejta. Ċertu tip ta` mejtin imma, kadavri bil-qalb għada tħabbat. Dan ikun xi ħadd li għandu moħħu mejjet, stat veġetali, legalment mejjet, ikkonfermat mit-tobba, imma miżmum ħaj fuq il-magni respiratorji, ħalli l-organi tagħhom jiġu ossiġenati sew biex ikunu jistgħu jintużaw għal trapjant. Mela f'dawn il-mejtin jekk tolqot il-post eżatt tara rispons kultant. Dan ir-rispons jgħidulu ir-rispons ta` Lażżru. U issa ha nipprova nurikhom mill-aħjar li nista, billi miniex mejta. Tagħmel hekk, tmiss il-punt eżatt. U l-mejjet jew mejta tagħmel ... hekk. Ma tantx tiġi apprezzata min minn jaħdem laboratorju patoloġiku.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
Now, if you can trigger the Lazarus reflex in a dead person, why not the orgasm reflex? I asked this question to a brain death expert, Stephanie Mann, who was foolish enough to return my emails.
Issa jekk tista tagħmel ir-rifless ta Lażżru f'persuna mejta, għala mhux ir-rifless orgażmatiku? Staqsejt dil-mistoqsija lill-esperta fuq stat veġetali, Stephanie Mann, li kienet ċuċ biżżejjed li irrisponditli l-emails.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
I said, "So, could you conceivably trigger an orgasm in a dead person?" She said, "Yes, if the sacral nerve is being oxygenated, you conceivably could." Obviously it wouldn't be as much fun for the person. But it would be an orgasm --
Qedtila, "Allura, hemm ċans sew li jista` jkun hemm orgażmu f'persuna mejta?` Qaltli " Jekk is-Sacral nerve jkun ossiġinat iva. Hemm ċans kbir li tista" Ovvjament ma tantx se tkun ta gost għal persuna. Imma se tkun orgażmu --
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
nonetheless.
xorta.
There is a researcher at the University of Alabama who does orgasm research. I said to her, "You should do an experiment. You know? You can get cadavers if you work at a university." I said, "You should actually do this." She said, "You get the human subjects review board approval for this one."
Jien isuġġerejta lil -- riċerkatur fl-Universita t'Alabama li jagħmel riċerka fuq l-orgażmi. Qedtila, "Missek tesperimenta. Taf int, għandek dawk il-kadavri kollha, ħabba xogħlok fl-universita" Qedtila "Bis-serjeta qed ngħidlek" Qaltli "Il-Permess mingħand il-bord ta esperimentazzjoni fuq il-bniedem f'idek."

According to 1930s marriage manual author, Theodoor van De Velde, a slight seminal odor can be detected on the breath of a woman within about an hour after sexual intercourse. Theodoor van De Velde was something of a semen connoisseur.
Skond l-awtur ta manwal fuq iż-żwieġ, li nħareg fl-1930 Theodoor Van de Velde, riħa ħafifa ta sperma tista tiġi innutata ma n-nifs ta` mara sa wara siegha li jkollha x'taqsam sesswalment. Theodore Van de Velde kien espert ta l-isperma.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
This is a guy writing a book, "Ideal Marriage," you know. Very heavy hetero guy. But he wrote in this book, "Ideal Marriage" -- he said that he could differentiate between the semen of a young man, which he said had a fresh, exhilarating smell, and the semen of mature men, whose semen smelled, quote, "Remarkably like that of the flowers of the Spanish chestnut. Sometimes quite freshly floral, and then again sometimes extremely pungent."
Dan hu l-persuna li kiteb "Ideal Marriage - Iż-Żwieg Idejali" għal ġieħna. Raġel eterosesswali kemm tista. Imma fil-ktieb tiegħu "Ideal Marriage - Iż-Żwieg Idejali" kiteb li seta jagħraf id-differenza bejn l-isperma ta raġel żagħżugħ li skond hu, għandha riħa friska, eżilaranti u l-isperma ta raġel matur li l-sperma tieghu kellha riħa ta, u hawn nikkwota "Rimarkabbli, bħal fjuri tal-Ġellewza Spanjola. Kultant qisa fjura għada tiftaħ u kultant ukoll qawwija wisq"

Okay. In 1999, in the state of Israel, a man began hiccupping. And this was one of those cases that went on and on. He tried everything his friends suggested. Nothing seemed to help. Days went by. At a certain point, the man, still hiccupping, had sex with his wife. And lo and behold, the hiccups went away. He told his doctor, who published a case report in a Canadian medical journal under the title, "Sexual Intercourse as a Potential Treatment for Intractable Hiccups." I love this article because at a certain point they suggested that unattached hiccuppers could try masturbation.
Mela, fl-1999, fl-Izrael raġel qabdu is-sulluzzu. U kien wieħed minn dawk il-każijiet li jibqa sejjer u sejjer. Ipprova kull ma ssuġerewlu sħabu. Xejn ma ħadem. Għaddew il-jiem. F'ċertu mument, dar-raġel bis-sulluzzu għaddej, kellu x'jaqsam ma martu. U ċum bum, is-sulluzzu telaq. Qal lit-tabib tieghu, li ppublika rapport tal-kaz f'ġurnal mediku Kanadiz, taht it-titlu, "Is-Sess bħala Kura Possibli ta Sulluzzu Kontinwu" Joġgħobni mmens dan l-artiklu għax f'ċertu punt jissuġerixxu
(Laughter)
li dawk li jaqbadhom is-sulluzzu u jkunu single, jippruvaw il-masturbazzjoni. (Daħq)
I love that because there is like a whole demographic: unattached hiccuppers.
Toġgħobni dik għax daħħlu parti demografika ġdida. Nies single bis-sulluzzu.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
Married, single, unattached hiccupper. In the 1900s, early 1900s, a lot of gynecologists believed that when a woman has an orgasm, the contractions serve to suck the semen up through the cervix and sort of deliver it really quickly to the egg, thereby upping the odds of conception. It was called the "upsuck" theory.
Miżżewgin. Single. Single's bis-sulluzzu Fil-bidu ta` l-1900 ġinekoloġisti, ħafna minnhom kienu jemmnu li meta mara jkollha orgażmu, il-kontrazzjonijiet iservu biex jiġbdu l-isperma lejn iċ-ċerviċi (cervix) u b'hekk l-isperma tasal iżjed malajr ħdejn il-bajda. B'hekk jiżdied iċ-ċans ta` konċepiment. Kienet imsejħa it-tejorija "Upsuck"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
If you go all the way back to Hippocrates, physicians believed that orgasm in women was not just helpful for conception, but necessary. Doctors back then were routinely telling men the importance of pleasuring their wives. Marriage-manual author and semen-sniffer Theodoor van De Velde --
Jekk tmorru lura sa żmien Hippocrates, it-tobba kienu jemmnu li l-orgażmu f'mara ma kienux biss tajbin għal konċepiment, imma neċessarji. It-tobba ta dak iz-żmien kienu jgħidu lil irġiel l-importanza li jagħtu pjaċir il-marthom. Il-kittieb tal-Marriage Manual, u espert tar-riħa ta` l-isperma
(Laughter)
Theodore Van de Velde -- (Daħq)
has a line in his book. I loved this guy. I got a lot of mileage out of Theodoor van De Velde. He had this line in his book that supposedly comes from the Habsburg Monarchy, where there was an empress Maria Theresa, who was having trouble conceiving. And apparently the royal court physician said to her, "I am of the opinion that the vulva of your most sacred majesty be titillated for some time prior to intercourse."
għandu frażi fil-ktieb tiegħu. Għoġobni dar-raġel, sibt ħafna xi ngħid fuqu, is-sur Theodore Van de Velde. Mela kellu sentenza fil-ktieb tiegħu, li suppost ġejja mill-Monarkija ta` Habsburg. (l-Awtrijaċi) Dawn kellhom Imperatriċi Maria Tereża, li kellha problema tikonċepixi. U apparentament it-tabib tal-familja rjali qallha, "Jien ta` l-opinjoni li il-vulva, ta` l-Onorevoli Majesta` tiġi eċċitata qabel maj jkollha x'taqsam"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
It's apparently, I don't know, on the record somewhere.
Apparentament, manafx fejn, hemm miktub li
Masters and Johnson: now we're moving forward to the 1950s. Masters and Johnson were upsuck skeptics, which is also really fun to say. They didn't buy it. And they decided, being Masters and Johnson, that they would get to the bottom of it. They brought women into the lab -- I think it was five women -- and outfitted them with cervical caps containing artificial semen. And in the artificial semen was a radio-opaque substance, such that it would show up on an X-ray. This is the 1950s. Anyway, these women sat in front of an X-ray device. And they masturbated. And Masters and Johnson looked to see if the semen was being sucked up. Did not find any evidence of upsuck. You may be wondering, "How do you make artificial semen?"
Masters u Johnson: issa mxejna lejn il-ħamsinijiet (1950's). kienu xettiċi tat-tejorija upsuck. U anka biex tgħida iġġiblek tbissima. Ma niżżluwiex. U ddeċidew, billi huma Masters u Johnson, li jinvestigawa. Ġabu xi nisa ġo laboratorju. Naħseb kienu ħamsa. U libbsuhom kappep fuq iċ-ċerviċi (cervix) li kellhom fihom, sperma artifiċjali. U f'din l-isperma artifiċjali, kien hemm sustanza li fuq X-ray kienet tidher, msejjħa radio-opaque. Dan kien fil-bidu tal-ħamsinijiet. Imsomma dawn in-nisa qadu bilqeda quddiem magna tal-X-ray. U bdew jimmasturbaw. U Masters u Johnson qadu attenti biex jaraw jekk l-isperma jigiex miġbud il-fuq. Ma sabu l-ebda evidenza ta "upsuck". Nimmaġimakhom taħsbu "Imma kif tagħmel sperma artifiċjali?"
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
I have an answer for you. I have two answers. You can use flour and water, or cornstarch and water. I actually found three separate recipes in the literature.
Għandi tweġiba għalikhom, anzi tnejn. Tista tuza` jew dqiq u ilma jew lamtu tal-qamħirrun (cornstarch) u ilma filfatt sibt dawn iġ-ġiex riċetti f'artikli differenti.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
My favorite being the one that says -- you know, they have the ingredients listed, and then in a recipe it will say, for example, "Yield: two dozen cupcakes." This one said, "Yield: one ejaculate."
Il-favorita tiegħi tkun dik li tgħid -- taf int, jkollok il-lista ta` l-ingredjenti. u mbad ir-riċetta li tgħidlek, per eżempju, "Tagħmel ġiex tużżani pasti" Din kellha miktub "Tagħmel, eġakulazzjoni waħda."
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
There's another way that orgasm might boost fertility. This one involves men. Sperm that sit around in the body for a week or more start to develop abnormalities that make them less effective at head-banging their way into the egg. British sexologist Roy Levin has speculated that this is perhaps why men evolved to be such enthusiastic and frequent masturbators. He said, "If I keep tossing myself off I get fresh sperm being made." Which I thought was an interesting idea, theory. So now you have an evolutionary excuse.
Hemm mod ieħor kif l-orgażmu jista jżid il-fertilita`. Din tinvolvi l-irġiel. L-isperma li ddum fil-ġisem għal ġimgħa jew iżjed tibda` tifforma anormalitajiet li jagħmluwa inqas effetiva biex ir-ras ta l-isperma isib ruħa ġol-bajda. Is-sesswologu Ingliż Roy Levin spekula li din hi probabli għalfejn l-irġiel evolvew f'masturbaturi entużjastiċi u frekwenti. Qal "Jekk noqod inġerrieħ ta` spiss ikolli sperma dejjem friska u b'saħħita" Li jien ħsibta kienet ideja interessanti, tejoritikament.
(Laughter)
Allura issa intom l-irġiel għandkhom skuża evolutarja.
Okay.
(Daħq)
(Laughter)
Okay.
All righty. There is considerable evidence for upsuck in the animal kingdom -- pigs, for instance. In Denmark, the Danish National Committee for Pig Production found out that if you sexually stimulate a sow while you artificially inseminate her, you will see a six-percent increase in the farrowing rate, which is the number of piglets produced. So they came up with this five-point stimulation plan for the sows. There is posters they put in the barn, and they have a DVD. And I got a copy of this DVD.
(Daħq) Mela, fl-annimali hemm evidenza konsiderevoli li l-upsuck teżisti. Per eżempju il-ħniezer. Fid-Danimarka, l-Kumitat Internazzjonali tal-Produzzjoni tal-Majjal, sab illi jekk tistimula sesswalment il-majjala qabel tuża l-inseminazzjoni artifiċjali, ha tara titjieb ta` sitta` fil-mija fil-konċepiment, li jisarraf f'iżjed ħnieżer żgħar prodotti. Allura ġew b'dal-pjan. Pjan imqassam f'ħames punti ta stimulazzjoni għal majjaliet. Ġagħlu lir-raħħal -- għamlulhom il-posters fl-istallel u anka DVD.
(Laughter)
U jien għandi kopja ta dan id-DVD. (Daħq)
This is my unveiling, because I am going to show you a clip.
Din se tkun il-punt qawwi tat-taħdita tieghi. Se nurikhom biċċa minnu.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
So, okay. Now, here we go, la la la, off to work. It all looks very innocent. He's going to be doing things with his hands that the boar would use his snout, lacking hands. Okay.
Mela. Mela tlaqna.... la la la għax-xogħol. Kollox jidher innoċenti. Se jagħmel affarijiet b'idejh li l-faħal jagħmel b'imnieħru, la m'għandux idejn. Użgur.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
This is it. The boar has a very odd courtship repertoire.
Mela din hi. Il-faħal jinnamra naqa stramb.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
This is to mimic the weight of the boar.
Din biex timita it-toqol tal-faħal/
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
You should know, the clitoris of the pig is inside the vagina. So this may be sort of titillating for her. Here we go.
Għandkhom tkunu tafu li l-klitoride tal-majjala, qegħda ġol-vaġina. Din naħseb tkun eċċitanti għalija. Tlaqna. (Daħq)
(Laughter)
And the happy result.
U ir-riżultat.

I love this video. There is a point in this video, towards the beginning, where they zoom in for a close up of his hand with his wedding ring, as if to say, "It's okay, it's just his job. He really does like women."
Joġgħobni dal-vidjow. Hemm punt fil-vidjo, fil-bidu fejn jiżżumjaw fuq idu, u għandu ċurkett taż-żwieg fuqa, qishom qed jgħidu "Dan xogħlu biss qed jagħmel. Iva jħobbhom in-nisa." (Daħq)
(Laughter)
Okay. When I was in Denmark, my host was named Anne Marie. And I said, "So why don't you just stimulate the clitoris of the pig? Why don't you have the farmers do that? That's not one of your five steps." I have to read you what she said, because I love it. She said, "It was a big hurdle just to get farmers to touch underneath the vulva. So we thought, let's not mention the clitoris right now."
Mela. Kif qedt -- meta kont id-Danimarka, dik li ospitatni kien jisimha Anne Marie. U staqsejta, " Allura, flok dak kollu, għala ma taqbdux tistimolaw direttament il-klitoride tal-majjala? Għala ir-raħħala ma jagħmlux hekk? Dik mhiex qegħda fil-ħames punti tagħkhom. Qaltli -- u hawn se naqralkhom għax toġghobni kif qalitili. Qalet " Il-problema ewlenija kienet biex iġġghiel ir-raħħal imiss taħt il-vulva. Allura għedna, mhux se nsemmu l-klitoride għalissa żgur".
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
Shy but ambitious pig farmers, however, can purchase a -- this is true -- a sow vibrator, that hangs on the sperm feeder tube to vibrate. Because, as I mentioned, the clitoris is inside the vagina. So possibly, you know, a little more arousing than it looks. And I also said to her, "Now, these sows. I mean, you may have noticed there. The sow doesn't look to be in the throes of ecstasy." And she said, you can't make that conclusion, because animals don't register pain or pleasure on their faces in the same way that we do. Pigs, for example, are more like dogs. They use the upper half of the face; the ears are very expressive. So you're not really sure what's going on with the pig.
Raħħala li jkunu ambizzjużi imma jiddejqu, jistaw jixtru -- u din vera -- vibrator għal majjala, li jiddendel mat-tubu ta` fejn joħrog l-isperma u jivvibra. Għax kif semmejt, il-klitoride, qegħda ġol-vaġina. Possibilment, iżjed eċċitanti milli tinstema`. U edtila ukoll, "Dawk il-majjaliet, jekk innutajt, qas jidhru li qed jieħdu xi pjecir ta barra minn hawn." Irrisponditni " Ma tistax tgħid" Għax l-annimali ma jurux uġigħ jew pjaċir fuq wiċċhom, fl-istess mod bħalna. Il-majjali bħal klieb. Jużaw il-biċċa ta` fuq ta` wiċċhom, il-widnejn huma espressivi ħafna. Jiġifieri diffiċli tkun taf x'inhi għaddejja minnu l-majjala.
Primates, on the other hand, we use our mouths more. This is the ejaculation face of the stump-tailed macaque.
Aħna il-primati, minn naħa l-oħra, nużaw ħalqna ħafna izjed. Dan hu wiċċ is-stump-tailed macaque, waqt l-eġukulazzjoni.
(Laughter)
(Daħq)
And, interestingly, this has been observed in female macaques, but only when mounting another female.
U, din ġiet osservata fin-nisa macaques ukoll. Imma biss meta jitilaw jgħammru mara oħra.

Masters and Johnson. In the 1950s, they decided, okay, we're going to figure out the entire human sexual response cycle, from arousal, all the way through orgasm, in men and women -- everything that happens in the human body. Okay, with women, a lot of this is happening inside. This did not stop Masters and Johnson. They developed an artificial coition machine. This is basically a penis camera on a motor. There is a phallus, clear acrylic phallus, with a camera and a light source, attached to a motor that is kind of going like this. And the woman would have sex with it. That is what they would do. Pretty amazing. Sadly, this device has been dismantled. This just kills me, not because I wanted to use it -- I wanted to see it.
Masters and Johnson, fl-1950s, iddeċidew, okay, mela se ninvestigaw iċ-ċiklu sesswali uman kollhu. Mit-tqanqil, sa l-orgażmu, fl-irġiel u nisa. Dak kollu li jiġri fil-ġisem uman. Mela, fin-nisa, kollox jiġri ġewwa. Din ma waqqfitx lil Masters and Johnson. Ivvintaw magna tas-sess artifiċjali. Li kienet bażikament, kamera tal-pene bil-mutur. Kellek il-pene, pene akriliku ċar, b'kamera u sors ta` dawl, mwaħħla ma mutur sejjer hekk. U n-nisa kienu jagħmlu sess magħa. Hekk kienu jagħmlu, li hi xi ħaġa ta barra minn hawn. Sfortunatament, dil-magna ġiet żarmata. Tqabbadni dwejjaq kbar. Mhux għax ridt nuża. Ridt nara imma.

One fine day, Alfred Kinsey decided to calculate the average distance traveled by ejaculated semen. This was not idle curiosity. Doctor Kinsey had heard -- and there was a theory going around at the time, this being the 1940s -- that the force with which semen is thrown against the cervix was a factor in fertility. Kinsey thought it was bunk, so he got to work. He got together in his lab 300 men, a measuring tape, and a movie camera.
Mela darba Alfred Kinsey iddeċida li jikkalkula id-distanza medja ta kemm itir l-eġukulazzjoni. Din ma kienitx għal kurżita biss. Dr. Kinsey kien semgħa -- u kien hemm dit-teorija, fil-bidu ta l-1940, li is-saħħa li l-sperma tiġi mwaddba maċ-ċerviċi kien fattur fil-fertilita. Kinsey m'għemminiex. Allura beda jinvestiga, Ġabar fil-laboratorju tiegħu
