Bwha! Sex on the Discovery Channel

[shipperx]

Bwha! The things that people do in the name of science. I just happened to surf by the Discovery Channel and for some reason it turns out that they've chosen to have a couple have sex in an MRI. Bwha! Okay, first off, these people are having sex with a room full of people watching ... not only from the outside, but from the INSIDE! (And putting it on TV).

Second of all, SHEESH! One thing is for certain, this duo could not have claustrophobia (or much in the way of modesty)! It's claustrophobia inducing for one person to be in an MRI. To have TWO people in it together, that's a tight fit. Two people in it together while trying to have sex? Well, I suppose it might distract you from the claustrophobia of being in an MRI. But quite frankly, it didn't look like the most hospitable place in the world to have sex. No maneuver room at all.

I just sort of watched with my mouth hanging open ...okay, I giggled like an adolescent!

Bwha! The things people think of to do in the name of science. *snicker*

Or ratings.

LOL! Well, it certainly stopped my channel surfing. I stared in disbelief as they...er... put these two people...er...together and placed them in that teeny, tiny, itsy space in the MRI. I kept wondering how in the hell the two of them were going to fit in the machine. Then, of course were the images in the MRI.

Heh. Have to admit for a ratings stunt it worked. I sat there and watched the entire thing.

Ehr...confession...I have no idea what MRI means.
But one thing I do know; it bugs the hell out of me when 'serious' TV-channels put on a show in the name of science, well aware that sex will sell practically every otherwise boring concept.

What does MRI mean?

I honestly can't say exactly what MRI represents exactly. Magnetic Radiowave something-or-another?

It's a medical diagnostic exam where they put someone inside one of these:

The person is scanned (or in this case two people in flagrante delicto were scanned... with NO room to spare).

The scane is something like a 3 dimensional x-ray as it takes images in slices, the computer puts them together and the result in a three dimensional model of both inside and out, as well as varying degrees of "intensity" (such as measuring brain activity). It's like getting a 3-dimensional x-ray that can be displayed in motion or can change to any angle in a "real-time" like process.

I saw the ads for that but watched Carnivale instead. They had sex in an MRI? You can't turn or lift your arms or anything and believe me I know because I had an MRI last month.
What happened to just hooking people up with electrodes, etc. for that sort of thing?

It looked like a claustrophobic's nightmare! I just sat there with my mouth agape as they placed these people in the MRI thinking, "Are they even going to fit?!"

And..er...yeah, they used the electrodes and stuff on another study in the ep (those were pretty funny too).

But the MRI thing was just flabbergasting. I got claustrophic even watching it, and I'm not claustrophobic!

wow
