Mary Roach: 10 things you didn't know about orgasm | TED

Prevodilac: Natasa Golosin Lektor: Ivana Korom

Alright.

Dobro. Pokazaću vam nekoliko fotografija

I'm going to show you a couple of images

from a very diverting paper in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.

iz veoma zabavnog teksta

iz časopisa o ultrazvuku u medicini.

I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that it is the most diverting paper

Usudiću se da kažem da je to najzabavniji članak

ikada objavljen u tom časopisu.

ever published in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.

The title is "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation."

Naslov je "Posmatranje mastrubacije unutar materice"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Okay. Now on the left you can see the hand -- that's the big arrow --

Dobro. Levo sada možete videti ruku. To je velika strelica.

and the penis on the right. The hand hovering.

Penis je sa desne strane. Ruka lebdi.

And over here we have,

Ovde imamo,

in the words of radiologist Israel Meisner,

prema rečima radiologa Izraela Meisnera,

"The hand grasping the penis in a fashion resembling masturbation movements."

"Ruku koja hvata penis na način koji liči na mastrubaciju"

Bear in mind this was an ultrasound,

Imajte u vidu da je ovo bio ultrazvučni snimak.

so it would have been moving images.

Dakle, slike su se pokretale.

Orgasm is a reflex of the autonomic nervous system.

Orgazam je refleks autonomnog nervnog sistema.

Now, this is the part of the nervous system

To je deo nervnog sistema

that deals with the things that we don't consciously control,

koji se bavi stvarima koje naša svest ne kontroliše.

like digestion, heart rate and sexual arousal.

Kao varenje, srčani otkucaji, seksualno uzbuđenje.

And the orgasm reflex can be triggered by a surprisingly broad range of input.

Orgazam može biti izazvan

mnoštvom različitih nadražaja.

Genital stimulation. Duh.

Stimulacija genitalija.

But also, Kinsey interviewed a woman

Ali takođe, Kinsi je intervjuisao ženu

who could be brought to orgasm by having someone stroke her eyebrow.

koja je mogla doživeti orgazam

ukoliko bi joj neko gladio obrvu.

People with spinal cord injuries,

Ljudima sa povredama kičmene moždine,

like paraplegias, quadriplegias,

kao što su paraplegičari, kvadriplegičari,

will often develop a very, very sensitive area

deo tela tik iznad povrede

right above the level of their injury,

gde god bio

wherever that is.

često se razvije u veoma osetljivu zonu.

There is such a thing as a knee orgasm in the literature.

Postoji nešto što se u literaturi zove orgazam kolena.

I think the most curious one that I came across

Mislim da je najneobičniji na koji sam naletela

was a case report of a woman

bio izveštaj o ženi

who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth.

koja je doživljavala orgazam svaki put kada je prala zube.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Something in the complex sensory-motor action of brushing her teeth

Nešto u toj složenoj

senzorno-motoričkoj aktivnosti prilikom pranja zuba

was triggering orgasm.

je izazivalo orgazam.

And she went to a neurologist, who was fascinated.

I otišla je kod neurologa koji je bio fasciniran.

He checked to see if it was something in the toothpaste,

Proverio je da li je to imalo veze sa pastom za zube.

but no -- it happened with any brand.

Ali, nije, dešavalo se sa svim vrstama.

They stimulated her gums with a toothpick, to see if that was doing it.

Stimulisali su joj desni

čačkalicom, da bi utvrdili da li je efekat isti.

No. It was the whole, you know, motion.

No, bio je potreban ceo pokret.

And the amazing thing to me

Neverovatno je što

is that you would think this woman would have excellent oral hygiene.

biste pomislili kako je ta žena sigurno održavala

odličnu oralnu higijenu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Sadly -- this is what it said in the journal paper --

Tužno, ali ona je - ovo je pisalo u časopisu -

"verovala da je opsednuta demonima

"She believed that she was possessed by demons

and switched to mouthwash for her oral care."

i počela je umesto paste da koristi tečnost za ispranje usta"

It's so sad.

Tužno.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

When I was working on the book,

Kada sam radila na knjizi, intervjuisala sam ženu

I interviewed a woman who can think herself to orgasm.

koja je mogla dovesti sebe do orgazma samo razmišljanjem.

She was part of a study at Rutgers University.

Ona je bila deo istraživanja na Rutgers Univerzitetu.

You've got to love that. Rutgers.

Morate ga voleti. Rutgers.

So I interviewed her in Oakland, in a sushi restaurant.

Dakle, intervjuisala sam je u Oklandu,

u suši restoranu.

And I said, "So, could you do it right here?"

Pitala sam je, "I, možete li da uradite to ovde?"

And she said,

Odgovorila je, "Da, ali radije bih prvo završila sa jelom, ako nemate ništa protiv."

"Yeah, but you know I'd rather finish my meal if you don't mind."

(Smeh)

(Laughter)

But afterwards, she was kind enough to demonstrate on a bench outside.

Ali kasnije je bila dovoljno ljubazna da mi to demonstrira

napolju na klupi.

It was remarkable. It took about one minute.

Bilo je izvanredno. Trajalo je oko minut.

And I said to her,

Pitala sam je,

"Are you just doing this all the time?"

"Da li radite samo ovo non-stop?"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

She said, "No. Honestly, when I get home, I'm usually too tired."

Odgovorila je, "Ne. Iskreno, kada stignem kući obično sam suviše umorna."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

She said that the last time she had done it

Rekla mi je da je poslednji put to uradila

was on the Disneyland tram.

u voziću u Diznlendu.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve,

Centrar za orgazam, uz kičmenu moždinu

is something called the sacral nerve root,

je nešto što se zove koren sakralnog nerva. Ovde nazad.

which is back here.

And if you trigger, if you stimulate with an electrode,

Ako elektrodom nadražimo pravu tačku,

the precise spot, you will trigger an orgasm.

izazvaćete orgazam.

And it is a fact that you can trigger spinal reflexes in dead people --

Činjenica da se refleksne radnje

mogu izazvati i kod mrtvih ljudi.

a certain kind of dead person, a beating-heart cadaver.

Posebna vrsta mrtvih ljudi: kadaveri kojima srce još uvek radi.

Now this is somebody who is brain-dead,

Njima je mozak mrtav,

legally dead, definitely checked out,

zakonski su mrtvi, definitivno,

but is being kept alive on a respirator,

ali ih održavaju u životu na respiratoru

so that their organs will be oxygenated for transplantation.

tako da su organi živi

kako bi organi mogli da se presade.

Now in one of these brain-dead people,

Kada se takvom čoveku

if you trigger the right spot,

nadraži određena tačka

you will see something every now and then.

ponekad se desi jedan pokret.

There is a reflex called the Lazarus reflex.

Taj refleks se zove Lazarov refleks.

And this is -- I'll demonstrate as best I can, not being dead.

I to je -- Probaću da pokažem najbolje što mogu, s obzirom da nisam mrtva.

It's like this. You trigger the spot.

To izgleda ovako. Nadražite tačku.

The dead guy, or gal, goes... like that.

A mrtvac uradi... ovako.

Very unsettling for people working in pathology labs.

Prilično uznemirujuće za ljude koji rade na patologiji.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Now, if you can trigger the Lazarus reflex in a dead person,

I sad, ako možemo podstaknuti Lazarov refleks kod mrtvaca,

why not the orgasm reflex?

zašto ne bismo mogli i refleks orgazma?

I asked this question to a brain death expert,

Postavila sam ovo pitanje ekspertu za moždanu smrt,

Stephanie Mann, who was foolish enough to return my emails.

Stefani Man, koja je bila dovoljno luckasta da mi odgovori na imejlove.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I said, "So, could you conceivably trigger an orgasm in a dead person?"

Pitala sam je: "Može li se

izazvati orgazam kod mrtve osobe?"

She said, "Yes, if the sacral nerve is being oxygenated,

Odgovorila je: "Da, ako do sakralnog nerva dolazi kiseonik.

jasno je da bi to bilo moguće"

you conceivably could."

Obviously it wouldn't be as much fun for the person.

Očito ne bi bilo previše zabavno mrtvoj osobi.

But it would be an orgasm --

Ali svejedno bi to bio --

(Laughter)

(smeh)

nonetheless.

orgazam,

There is a researcher at the University of Alabama

Istraživačici na Univerzitetu Alabama

koja se bavi istraživanjem orgazma,

who does orgasm research.

I said to her, "You should do an experiment.

rekla sam: "Trebalo bi da napraviš eksperiment.

You know? You can get cadavers if you work at a university."

Znaš, možeš da nabaviš leš budući da radiš na Univerzitetu.

I said, "You should actually do this."

Stvarno bi trebalo da uradiš to."

She said, "You get the human subjects review board approval for this one."

Odgovorila mi je: "Onda ti pribavi odobrenje odbora koji razmatra eksperimente na ljudima."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

According to 1930s marriage manual author,

Prema autoru uputstva za upotrebu braka iz tridesetih,

Theodoor van De Velde,

Teodoru Van de Veldeu,

a slight seminal odor can be detected on the breath of a woman

blagi miris sperme može se primetiti u zadahu žene

within about an hour after sexual intercourse.

u trajanju od sat vremena posle seksualnog odnosa.

Theodoor van De Velde was something of a semen connoisseur.

On je bio svojevrsni poznavalac sperme.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

This is a guy writing a book, "Ideal Marriage," you know.

On je, znate, napisao knjigu "Idealni brak".

Vrlo heteroseksualni tip.

Very heavy hetero guy.

But he wrote in this book, "Ideal Marriage" --

Ali je u knjizi "Idealni brak" napisao,

he said that he could differentiate between the semen of a young man,

da može razlikovati spermu mladića,

which he said had a fresh, exhilarating smell,

za koju kaže da ima svež, živahan miris

and the semen of mature men, whose semen smelled, quote,

i spermu zrelog muškarca

koja miriše, citiram:

"Remarkably like that of the flowers of the Spanish chestnut.

"Upečatljivo slično cvetu španskog kestena.

Sometimes quite freshly floral,

Ponekad prilično sveže, cvetno,

and then again sometimes extremely pungent."

a ponekad vrlo oporo."

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Okay. In 1999, in the state of Israel, a man began hiccupping.

Godine 1999. u Izraelu je

jedan čovek počeo da štuca.

And this was one of those cases that went on and on.

I to je bio jedan od onih slučajeva koji nije mogao da prestane.

He tried everything his friends suggested.

Pokušao je sve što su mu prijatelji predložili.

Nothing seemed to help.

I ništa nije pomoglo.

Days went by.

Dani su prolazili. U jednom trenutku,

At a certain point, the man, still hiccupping, had sex with his wife.

i dalje štucajući, imao je seks sa svojom ženom.

And lo and behold, the hiccups went away.

I, na opšte čuđenje, štucanje je prestalo.

He told his doctor, who published a case report

Rekao je to svom lekaru, a ovaj je to objavio

in a Canadian medical journal under the title,

u kanadskom medicinskom časopisu, sa naslovom

"Sexual Intercourse as a Potential Treatment for Intractable Hiccups."

"Seksualni odnos kao potencijalni lek

za nezaustavljivo štucanje".

I love this article because at a certain point they suggested

Volim taj članak jer na jednom mestu predlaže

that unattached hiccuppers could try masturbation.

da oni koji štucaju, a nisu u vezi mogu probati da masturbiraju kako bi štucanje zaustavili.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

I love that because there is like a whole demographic: unattached hiccuppers.

Postoji cela demografska podgrupa. Oni koji štucaju a nisu u vezi.

(Laughter)

(smeh)

Married, single, unattached hiccupper.

Oženjeni. Samci. Oni koji nisu u vezi.

In the 1900s, early 1900s,

S početka dvadesetog veka

a lot of gynecologists believed that when a woman has an orgasm,

mnogi ginekolozi su verovali

da kada žena doživi orgazam

the contractions serve to suck the semen up through the cervix

dešavaju se kontrakcije koje služe da se sperma usisa do grlića materice

and sort of deliver it really quickly to the egg,

i na taj način se brzo isporuči do jajašca.

thereby upping the odds of conception.

Tako se povećava šansa oplodnje.

It was called the "upsuck" theory.

To je nazvano teorijom "usisavanja".

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Ako se vratimo sve to Hipokrata,

If you go all the way back to Hippocrates,

physicians believed that orgasm in women

lekari su verovali da ženski orgazam nije samo pomagao

was not just helpful for conception, but necessary.

da se lakše začne, već je bio neophodan.

Doctors back then were routinely telling men

Lekari su u to vreme rutinski govorili muškarcima

the importance of pleasuring their wives.

koliko je važno da zadovolje svoje žene.

Marriage-manual author and semen-sniffer Theodoor van De Velde --

Autor uputstva za upotrebu braka i njuškač sperme

Teodor Van de Velde

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

has a line in his book.

kaže na jednom mestu u svojoj knjizi.

I loved this guy.

Obožavala sam ga, mnogo materijala sam pokupila od Teodora Van de Veldea.

I got a lot of mileage out of Theodoor van De Velde.

He had this line in his book

Dakle, on kaže u knjizi,

that supposedly comes from the Habsburg Monarchy,

što verovatno dolazi iz Habsburške monarhije,

where there was an empress Maria Theresa,

u vreme kada je vladala Marija Terezija,

who was having trouble conceiving.

koja je imala problema da ostane u drugom stanju.

And apparently the royal court physician said to her,

I izgleda da joj je dvorski lekar rekao,

"I am of the opinion that the vulva of your most sacred majesty

"Moje mišljenje je

da vulva vašeg kraljevskog visočanstva

be titillated for some time prior to intercourse."

mora da bude prijatno uzbuđena rukom neposredno pre polnog odnosa."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

It's apparently, I don't know, on the record somewhere.

Pretpostavljam da je to negde i zabeleženo.

Masters and Johnson:

Masters i Džonson: sada se selimo napred u pedesete

now we're moving forward to the 1950s.

Masters and Johnson were upsuck skeptics,

Masters i Džonson su bili skeptici po pitanju usisavanja.

which is also really fun to say.

Što je takođe zabavno reći.

They didn't buy it.

Oni nisu nasedali na to.

And they decided, being Masters and Johnson,

I odlučili su,

that they would get to the bottom of it.

da će ispitati to do kraja.

They brought women into the lab -- I think it was five women --

Doveli su žene u laboratoriju. Mislim pet žena.

and outfitted them with cervical caps containing artificial semen.

I opremili ih cervikalnih kapama.

koje su sadržale veštačku spermu.

And in the artificial semen was a radio-opaque substance,

I u veštačkoj spermi

bila je radio-neprozirna supstanca

such that it would show up on an X-ray.

koja se mogla videti na rentgenu.

This is the 1950s.

Ovo je bilo pedesetih.

Anyway, these women sat in front of an X-ray device.

Ove žene su sele ispred rentgen aparata.

And they masturbated.

I masturbirale su.

And Masters and Johnson looked to see if the semen was being sucked up.

A Masters i Džonson su pratili da li je sperma bila usisana.

Did not find any evidence of upsuck.

Nisu pronašli nikakav dokaz usisavanja.

You may be wondering, "How do you make artificial semen?"

Možda se pitate: "Kako se može napraviti veštačka sperma?"

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

I have an answer for you. I have two answers.

Imam odgovor za vas. Imam dva odgovora.

You can use flour and water, or cornstarch and water.

Možete koristiti brašno i vodu, ili kukuruzni škrob i vodu

I actually found three separate recipes in the literature.

U stvari, našla sam tri različita recepta u literaturi.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

My favorite being the one that says --

Moj omiljeni je jedan koji kaže --

you know, they have the ingredients listed,

znate, oni imaju nabrojane sastojke,

and then in a recipe it will say, for example,

i onda u receptu kažu, na primer,

"Yield: two dozen cupcakes."

"Za 20 kolačića"

This one said, "Yield: one ejaculate."

U ovom receptu piše: "Za jedan ejakulat."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

There's another way that orgasm might boost fertility.

Postoji drugi način na koji orgazam može da poboljša plodnost.

This one involves men.

Uključuje muškarce.

Sperm that sit around in the body for a week or more

Sperma koja stoji u telu nedelju dana ili više

start to develop abnormalities

postaje abnormalna

that make them less effective at head-banging their way into the egg.

što je čini manje efektivnom u traženju svog puta

do jajašca.

British sexologist Roy Levin has speculated

Roj Levin, britanski seksolog

je spekulisao da je ovo mogući razlog što

that this is perhaps why men

su muškarci toliko entuzijastični i redovni masturbatori.

evolved to be such enthusiastic and frequent masturbators.

He said, "If I keep tossing myself off I get fresh sperm being made."

On je rekao, "Ako se redovno praznim

proizvodim svežu spermu."

Which I thought was an interesting idea, theory.

To mi izgleda kao zanimljiva ideja, teorija.

So now you have an evolutionary excuse.

Tako sada postoji i izgovor koji se poziva na evoluciju.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Okay.

(Dobro.)

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

All righty. There is considerable evidence for upsuck in the animal kingdom --

Dobro. Ovde imamo neke dokaze za usisavanje u životinjskom carstvu.

pigs, for instance.

Svinje, na primer.

In Denmark, the Danish National Committee for Pig Production

U Danskoj, u danskom Nacionalnom komitetu za proizvodnju svinja

found out that if you sexually stimulate a sow

otkriveno je da ako

seksualno stimulišete krmaču dok je veštačkim putem osemenjavate,

while you artificially inseminate her,

desiće se napredak od šest odsto kod količine prasića,

you will see a six-percent increase in the farrowing rate,

u broju prasića koji su se rodili.

which is the number of piglets produced.

So they came up with this five-point stimulation plan for the sows.

Tako su oni izneli ovaj plan. Plan stimulacije u pet tačaka

za krmače.

There is posters they put in the barn, and they have a DVD.

I imali su farmere -- postoje posteri koje su stavili u svinjce,

i dividijevi.

And I got a copy of this DVD.

Dobila sam primerak tog dividija.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

This is my unveiling, because I am going to show you a clip.

I sada ću ga prikazati. Pokazaću vam video klip.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

So, okay.

U redu.

Now, here we go, la la la, off to work.

Idemo dakle -- tra, la, la, na posao.

It all looks very innocent.

Ovo izgleda veoma nevino.

He's going to be doing things with his hands

On će svojim rukama raditi stvari

that the boar would use his snout, lacking hands. Okay.

za koje bi vepar koristio njušku, u nedostatku ruku. Dobro.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

This is it.

To je to. Vepar ima veoma čudan repertoar za udvaranje.

The boar has a very odd courtship repertoire.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

This is to mimic the weight of the boar.

Ovo je da bi se dočarala težina vepra.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

You should know, the clitoris of the pig is inside the vagina.

Trebalo bi da znate, klitoris svinje je u unutrašnjosti vagine.

So this may be sort of titillating for her.

Pa bi ovo mogao biti način da se ona prijatno uzbudi.

Here we go.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And the happy result.

I, evo i srećnog rezultata.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

I love this video.

Obožavam ovaj video.

There is a point in this video, towards the beginning,

Postoji deo u ovom videu, na početku

where they zoom in for a close up of his hand with his wedding ring,

gde je u krupnom planu njegova ruka sa burmom,

kao da hoće da kažu: "To je u redu, to je samo njegov posao. Njemu se zaista sviđaju žene".

as if to say, "It's okay, it's just his job.

He really does like women."

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Okay. When I was in Denmark, my host was named Anne Marie.

U redu. Kada sam bila u Danskoj, moj domaćin bila je Ana Mari.

Rekla sam: "I, zašto jednostavno ne stimulišete klitoris svinje?"

And I said, "So why don't you just stimulate the clitoris of the pig?

Why don't you have the farmers do that?

Zašto nemate farmere da to rade.

That's not one of your five steps."

To nije jedan od vaših pet koraka."

I have to read you what she said, because I love it.

Rekla je -- Moram da pročitam šta je rekla jer mi se mnogo sviđa.

"Bilo je teškoća

She said, "It was a big hurdle

just to get farmers to touch underneath the vulva.

i samo ubediti farmere da dodirnu ispod vulve.

So we thought, let's not mention the clitoris right now."

Pa smo mislili da je bolje da ne pominjemo sada još i klitoris.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Shy but ambitious pig farmers, however, can purchase a -- this is true --

Stidljivi ali ambiciozni farmeri, pak, mogu kupiti -- ovo je istina--

a sow vibrator,

vibrator za krmaču,

that hangs on the sperm feeder tube to vibrate.

koji se ugradi na cev za dovod sperme.

Because, as I mentioned, the clitoris is inside the vagina.

Jer, kao što sam pomenula,

klitoris je unutar vagine.

So possibly, you know, a little more arousing than it looks.

Pa verovatno, znate, više je uzbuđujuće nego što izgleda.

And I also said to her,

Takođe sam joj rekla,

"Now, these sows. I mean, you may have noticed there.

"Možda ste primetili da ove krmače,

The sow doesn't look to be in the throes of ecstasy."

baš ne izgledaju kao da su u agoniji od uzbuđenja."

And she said, you can't make that conclusion,

A ona je odgovorila, "Ne možete to zaključiti."

because animals don't register pain or pleasure

Jer životinje ne pokazuju

bol ili užitak na svojim licima, na način na koji mi to radimo.

on their faces in the same way that we do.

Svinje, na primer, slično kao i psi,

Pigs, for example, are more like dogs.

They use the upper half of the face; the ears are very expressive.

koriste gornju polovinu lica. Uši su veoma izražajne.

So you're not really sure what's going on with the pig.

Tako da niste zaista sigurni šta se dešava sa svinjom.

Primates, on the other hand, we use our mouths more.

Primati, s druge strane, koriste više usta.

This is the ejaculation face of the stump-tailed macaque.

Ovo je lice makaki majmuna prilikom ejakulacije.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And, interestingly, this has been observed in female macaques,

I, interesantno, ovo je primećeno kod ženke makaki majmuna.

but only when mounting another female.

Ali samo kada uzjaše drugu ženku.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

Masters and Johnson.

Masters i Džonson su pedesetih godina odlučili,

In the 1950s, they decided, okay, we're going to figure out

u redu, mi ćemo da razotkrijemo ceo ciklus ljudske seksualne reakcije.

the entire human sexual response cycle,

from arousal, all the way through orgasm, in men and women --

Od uzbuđenja, preko orgazma, kod muškaraca i žena.

everything that happens in the human body.

Sve što se dešava u ljudskom telu.

Okay, with women, a lot of this is happening inside.

U redu, sa ženama se dosta toga dešava unutra.

This did not stop Masters and Johnson.

To nije zaustavilo Mastersa i Džonsona.

They developed an artificial coition machine.

Napravili su mašinu za seksualni odnos.

This is basically a penis camera on a motor.

Ovo je u stvari kamera u obliku penisa na motoru.

There is a phallus,

Tamo je falus,

clear acrylic phallus, with a camera and a light source,

plastični falus, sa kamerom i osvetljenjem

attached to a motor that is kind of going like this.

priključen na motor koji se ovako nekako kreće.

And the woman would have sex with it.

I žena bi imala seks sa tim.

That is what they would do. Pretty amazing.

To su radili. Prilično neverovatno.

Sadly, this device has been dismantled.

Nažalost, ovaj uređaj je razmontiran.

This just kills me, not because I wanted to use it --

To me ubija. Ne zato što sam htela da ga koristim.

I wanted to see it.

Htela sam da ga vidim.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

One fine day,

Jednog lepog dana

Alfred Kinsey decided to calculate

Alfred Kinsi je odlučio

da izračuna prosečnu razdaljinu koju pređe ejakulirana sperma.

the average distance traveled by ejaculated semen.

This was not idle curiosity.

Ovo nije bila zaludna radoznalost.

Doctor Kinsey had heard --

Dokrot Kinsi je čuo --

and there was a theory going around at the time, this being the 1940s --

i zaista postojala je teorija aktuelna u to vreme, početkom četrdesetih,

that the force with which semen is thrown against the cervix

da je snaga kojom

je sperma bačena u pravcu grlića materice

was a factor in fertility.

bio faktor plodnosti.

Kinsey thought it was bunk, so he got to work.

Kinsi je mislio da je to glupost, pa se bacio na posao.

He got together in his lab

Sakupio je u svojoj laboratoriji

300 men, a measuring tape, and a movie camera.

300 muškaraca, metar i filmsku kameru.

(Laughter)

(Smeh)

And in fact, he found that in three quarters of the men

I zaista, otkrio je

da je kod tri četvrtine muškaraca

the stuff just kind of slopped out.

stvar samo iskliznula napolje.

It wasn't spurted or thrown or ejected under great force.

Nije ubrizgana ili izbačena sa velikom snagom.

However, the record holder

Iako je rekorderova

landed just shy of the eight-foot mark, which is impressive.

bila prizemljena na skoro dva i po metra udaljenosti. Što je impresivno.

U svom zapisu

In his write-up of this experiment in his book,

o ovom eksperimentu u svojoj knjizi,

Kinsey wrote,

Kinsi je napisao,

"Two sheets were laid down to protect the oriental carpets."

"Dva čaršava su postavljena dole da zaštite orijentalne tepihe."

Which is my second favorite line in the entire oeuvre of Alfred Kinsey.

Što je moj drugi omiljeni citat.

u čitavom opusu Alfreda Kinsija.

My favorite being, "Cheese crumbs spread before a pair of copulating rats

Moj omiljeni bio bi, "Mrvice sira koje se stave pred pacove u seksualnom odnosu

will distract the female, but not the male."

će odvući pažnju ženke, ali ne i mužjaka."

Hvala vam mnogo.

(Applause)

(Aplauz)

Hvala!
