Let's Have SEX: MRI Scanner Captures Intercourse Like Never Seen Before

Ever wished you could see what was going on inside your body when you have sex?

You're in luck! A new NSFW video featuring footage from multiple MRI scans affords a remarkable glimpse inside human bodies as they engage in intimate activities ranging from a French kiss to, yes, full-bore coitus.

MRI scanners create still and, in this case, moving images with the help of strong magnetic fields that interact with protons inside our bodies.

An MRI scan of a couple during sex. And as you can see in the video after the cut, those interactions can tell us a lot about interactions of our own.

And the scientific reason for filming the ‘insides’ of a man and woman during their most intimate moment?

‘To find out whether taking images of the male and female genitals during coitus is feasible and to find out whether former and current ideas about the anatomy during sexual intercourse and during female sexual arousal are based on assumptions or on facts,’ according to the British Medical Journal.

The video shows that, yes, this is indeed possible. But just to clarify, here’s the conclusion of the study from the BMJ:

‘Taking magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the male and female genitals during coitus is feasible and contributes to understanding of anatomy.’

This video is a mash-up of various different MRI scans including a couple French couple, a baby in the womb, a horn player blowing his instrument and someone swallowing pineapple juice.
