You might not think TED has anything to do with Fifty Shades of Grey. We didn’t either. Until we woke up this morning to find ourselves called out in The New Yorker’s scathing review of the movie: “You get dirtier talk in most action movies, and more genitalia in a TED talk on Renaissance sculpture.”
So just for fun, we thought we’d see how racy our talks can get. And it turns out, VERY.
Here, our favorite TED and TEDx Talks with more frank talk than the watered-down movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey:
1. What we didn’t know about penis anatomy.
你不知道的男性生殖解剖学。
A scientist explains how guys get it up — biologically speaking. It’s graphic enough to make you blush, and you’ll hear two words that should never go together: penis and cross-section.
2. The birds and the bees are just the beginning.
性趣生物界。
A parade of penises in the animal kingdom. At 2:11, Bondar demonstrates the size of the biggest one. Let’s just say it’s giant.
3. 10 things you didn’t know about orgasm.
谈性高潮不可不知的十点。
A classic talk with all sorts of weird, obscure facts about orgasm. Including some stuff about dead people you didn’t want to know.
4. It’s time for porn to change.
毛片是时候改革了。

This is what happens when you tell your mother that you want to direct feminist porn … professionally.
5. Make love, not porn.
做爱不等于情色。
A gutsy rant about hardcore porn, and how it’s making an entire generation bad in bed. Get ready for the filthiest language ever used on the TED stage (in a lovely British accent).
