A look inside a vagina

If you've ever wondered what things look like to your vagina mid-bone, you're in luck. A few intrepid researchers decided to film sex from the vagina's point of view, and the result is a fascinating video that's years old but is resurfacing again to everyone's benefit. In this segment of the episode, testers attached cameras to one of the woman's nipples, the man's penis, inside the woman's vagina, and both people's skin. Once their parts were fully equipped with camera gear, the couple started to have sex in the missionary position. Thanks to the various cameras, the resulting video has a few different angles—it's clear that the experimenters were nothing if not thorough.

And it is pretty wild. With one camera on the tip of the penis and another inside the vagina , it's a completely new way to have sex — or at least, to view it. The video has almost 22 million views, and the fact that it's available on YouTube is angering some who think it is pornographic. I mean, it's very, very, very explicit. And it's definitely sex. But it's definitely done from a medical, educational perspective.
