Spiny penises, exploding testicles and sperm mind control | Secrets of Sex @ Ri Lates
Yep, that's right. Penises with spikes. Testicles that explode. Sperm with the power of mind control. All's fair in love and war, but when it comes to evolution, love IS war.
This is an excerpt from a 20 minute talk called "Secrets of Sex" which I was invited to give at the Royal Institution's first Lates event, themed "Rules of Attraction".
This video is the sixth in a playlist of videos from the event. The whole playlist can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbM_MS-o7dCJtVjhT-fG58V6jAd1f4UQV
