We still don't have a good definition of the start and end of an orgasm, but one sex researcher said that anus sphincter contractions are what they used in her lab to define it. For pigs, I would guess that is based on observations rather than actual lab measurements

So you’re telling me - that whoever ‘discovered’ this fact, made all sorts of sacrifices in life to study hard and get into a position where they’re accepted by the scientific community. All of that came to fruition when they stared at a pig’s butthole with a stopwatch for 30 minutes?

I'm gonna like the GE contractracted engineer… the fee for placing the chalk mark is only a dollar (i.e. For holding the stopwatch) but the fee for knowing where to put the chalk mark (start/stop the watch) is $1,000. Though as I understand these fields, they would've had a lab Tech actually do the stopwatching. The Ph.D would have just run/ designed the actual tests.

Pretty sure the PhD student would be doing the observing, maybe mentoring a college student while doing so

Yes, and probably after they masturbated it in a controlled lab setting.

That was either $20k or they knew an "expert" who would do it for free.

There are people who masturbate pigs for a living and they sure don't get $20K a session, lol. I used to know a guy who did it, and he got more than minimum wage but not lots. It's for artificial insemination; modern pigs have been bred so massive that natural insemination can often harm the sow, and also it's just easier to ship sperm than it is to ship a massive 700lb boar with balls bigger than your head.

It's important to have a job that makes a difference, boys. That's why I manually masturbate caged animals for artificial insemination.

So when I microwave a hot dog and it’s expanding it’s in orgasm?

What about an fMRI? Would that help?
