Potty Talk

For MEDSCI we're studying about organ systems, so what better organ system to study first than the reproductive system! We're starting off with the male reproductive system, which has led our lecturer to make heaps of sexual references. Here are a few of his ...interesting...comments (not accurately quoted):

"Guys think about sex every seven seconds. Well today we're going to be thinking about it for fifty minutes...in this lecture!"

"So when you've got nothing better to do on a Friday night you can go on the net and read up on oxytocin!"

"When a boar ejaculates he releases half a litre of sperm"

"I find the female reproductive system more interesting than the male's....scientifically..."

The lecturer also used one of those long balloons to demonstrate erections!

He told us that while his colleagues tend to frown upon it, he thinks Wikipedia is a good source of information. However, I'm not too sure how comfortable some people would be with searching for penis or ejaculation or sperm on the internet just in case someone else stumbles across their history! (Better clear it guys!)

Tomorrow's topic: spermatogenesis!
