The ocean plays host to a peculiar party of wild, marine sex life that's perhaps quirkier (and kinkier) than you can fathom. But is human behavior interrupting these raunchy reproductive acts? Take a deep dive with marine biologist Marah J. Hardt to discover what exactly goes down under the sea — and why your own wellness depends on the healthy sex lives of fish.

Akhila B why does science and biology upset you? It’s facts. It’s knowledge. Knowledge is a good thing.
@Karen Costley I just thought that the title was funny. Don’t be such a Karen!
I bet half the people clicked on this video just for the ted Ed intro music
Exactlyyyyyyyyy
What other reason could it be?
There are people that like this intro ????

The white background in your DP gives it all away mate – make it off white
@Victor V i still fell for it though
@DownThemAIl I think hes trying to find all the colourblind youtubers of the world
I never thought I’d read this kind of title for a TED Talk
Why?
It is 6:16 am on a Monday morning and this is the first thing I see in my subscriptions
The shock I felt when this came up in my notifications lmao
Men and fish are alike
They both get into trouble when they open their mouth
Shush
Disliked this video as soon as she said that lobsters didn’t look kinky
I mean, they come with built in nipple clamps
fish said trans rights
i don’t know what emotion this filled me with but consider me at least a little scared
_”start your speech with a shocking phrase to capture the audience’s attention”_
this woman:
This is the kind of title I subscribed to TED for
When I read this title, never thought that is related with ecology and consuming…
Finally a new Ted talk with true academic depth… These are getting rare these days
All the dislikes are from offended lobsters
All I can say is, it saddens me greatly that people are blowing this off as just weird and not important. She didn’t even mention the fact that many saltwater marine fauna can’t be bred in captivity, so are taken from the ocean for people’s aquariums…humanity needs to wake up and slow their roll on trashing everything, or there will be nothing left.
I thought this was a TedX talk when I first looked at the title. Then I watched it and it turns out it was a TedXXX talk
