  • beetle orgy

  • Not Me man...

  • I don't understand. Where do they stick it?

  • Male Beetle: Why is our kid black, Maria?

    Female: Why, Im not sure what you mean...

    Male: I Trusted you

    Female: You doubt me?

    Male: *She cannot know, she must not. My secret, Oh God i feel so dirty!*

    Tune in tomorrow, for another episode of Una Noche de Pasion con un Escarabajo Gay.

  • wow pretty cool

    maybe i should give this gay sex thing a try

  • so, 50% would have been 5 stars?

    What if it was 60%

    I NEED TO KNOW MAN.

    WHAT IF

    WHAT IF

  • shut the hell up guys this is in them matter of science who cares about your opinions

  • why r u guys typing in gay sex

  • Why yes I am ;) And im not kidding XD its called yaoi

  • gay

  • What the fuck is this.

  • SPARTAAAA

  • This is madness.

  • .......

  • what the heck.. do you have to share this?

  • Eeew.

  • It amazes me how ignorant and idiotic people can be, how is this in any way comparable to human homosexuality?

  • Apparently scientists aren't as smart as they used to be.

  • this video says nothing about humans...

  • @BonzoHunter shut up

  • no thanks

  • "These two male beetles are enjoying a romantic moment..."

  • lol

  • Homo beetles having babies!?!?! WTF is NEXT!

  • So...gay men are like beetles.Except for the straight sex part.Gross.

  • one of the insects droped the soap

  • LMFAO

  • LMFAO! even BUGS are enjoying SEX!! xD

    Okward!?? xD

  • wtf bug sex-ed must be a bitch

  • LOL GAY INSECTS, i always wondered if animals did the frecky twisted thing

    (not a homophobe btw)

    lol look at 0:32 ORGY!!!!

  • It all make sense Life is recycled when we pass away we are reborn into creatures. Wow now iv seen everything gay insects What has the world come to lol

  • kinda like in prison...hmmm.

  • Strange.... Lucky it's only applied on insect...

  • (30 years) many years ago a white husband and a white wife produce a black child.

    A black had sex with a prostitute.

    Then the white husband had sex with the prostitute, and he came home had another sex with his wife again...that transfer the sperm of the black to his wife.

  • Wow I dunno there is something like that happens...

  • That so wouldnt happen... The sperm wouldnt last that long. Some cant even make it when they are shot inside a women.

  • Believe it or not, up to you. I don't argue as it was at least 30+ years ago.

    Note that you were born because of just ONE sperm, not millions of sperms penetrating the same ovum...

    Of course, you may suspect the loyalty of the white wife..

  • Did i sound rude because i didnt mean to. Its just kind of hard to believe.

  • Where do they find these goofball scientists that actually research this nonsense?

  • they only got a 3.9 GPA, so there isnt much work for them. lolz

  • sweet.

  • so...what this video is saying is...if I want a slightly higher chance of getting an offspring, I should copulate with some dudes and hope that my sperm will accidentally fall out of their ass and into their girlfriend later on?

    and that since the odds are "only" 1% that means if I buttfuck 100 guys there's a good chance that I'll be a daddy! yay! *gets to work*

  • How exactly does the beetle acquire sperm from screwing another male?

  • ShadeDreadful  - by blowjob ofc... swallowing =D

  • same way you do it.

  • I have seen an astonishing trend here.

    The worse grammar you have, the stupider comment you leave.

    And I can see that people who have the worst grammar and spelling here tend to have Jesus in their ass. Or they ate him. Or what ever they do with that cross.

  • You can't generalize like that but I sort of agree. The worse the grammar the more oblivious the person.

  • Do our tax dollars actually pay for this kind of research?

  • Nope..

  • like what was mentioned above, we need to be more intelligent, have better immune system, more strength, endurance, speed, connection with our world, wisdom, longer life, etc. we are so fragile and it is pathetic to think we are the ones who dominbate

  • Tell that to Stephen Hawking...

  • what the fuck does that have to do with stephen Hawking?

    this is bullshit. stop posting worthless shit. I started this convo with an actual point and now people are shitting themselves because they cant handle what I'm saying.

  • look bud, I think the only one "shitting" himself is you. Somehow I doubt that anyone cares what you said "in the beginning", so just relax and enjoy the video.

  • evolution is what kept us working for gods sakes. we are seeing right now the effects of not having natural selection. rare diseases are becoming common. huge rates of mentally disabled kids. huge rates of kids with diabetes and many more diseases. this will get worse. no one is researching how the pills we take affect generations down the road. people with high cancer rates get treated instead of not getting to mate because they are in pain- and weak. our race isnt going to survive like this

  • evolution is still happening. just because the world looks different now then it did 100 years ago doesnt mean the fundamental laws are any different. our medicine(etc) is an adaptation to our environment just like every other adaptation exhibited in other species

  • bt gay sex stildoesnt creat n life as they are slaving x with emle bugs, so there for it is stl not possible onthe theory of gays only having sex with other gays creates life.

  • wtf so theres benefits to homos?

  • One is said to be population control.

  • lol wtf

  • Well, if you read around a bit (instead of going lol wtf eh uh uh uhh etc), you come across these possible theories.

    :lol wht de fückg:

  • i dont read about fags like you..

  • Interesting that one can be a "fag"... when one is not even male.. but.. whatever.

    It's probably a miracle you even read at all.

  • i said i dont read books about fags..like you (do)

  • I don't either. I read on the internet and have a general interest in humans and how they become the way they are.

  • so what are you doin tomorrow?

  • Wow you kept your cool very well againsed that loser. He dosnt read about "fags" get he wants to know more about them... Only someone who thinks they may be gay would be that overly agressive about it.

  • yes, if your an insect.

  • really?

  • Insects don't count cause when people do it, there's 0% chance they can pass anything to anybody else unless two guys stick it into each other's .... which is like impossible according to coach Hines.

  • I've seen that.

    Seriously.

    Google it if you don't believe me.

  • Humans are animals. Animals often have BOTH hetrosexual and homosexual tendancys. Just because the biological reason for the homosexual tendcies arent that obvious it doesnt mean that they're not there. Of course there's a valid reason for them. The tendcies wouldnt have of evolved and have been exibited by so many unrelated species otherwise.

  • It depends what you call 'day one' of course :) Hmm, my comments seem to end up not as replies but as new comments..

  • yeah my replies are showing up seperate as well. what I think, is that whoever is showing us this video probably jumped the gun and got excited to try and prove evry one wrong and say homosexual sex is benefial or something you know? trying to put a positive light on it. if you ask me, who cares? sex is sex and I dont want to know how other people are practicing it.

  • You should really try and understand the concept of something before you go and dismiss it.

  • ass hole, maybe you should be more like your name and use logic before you speak. I've had enought ime to study and learn about this shit and based on a medical, psychological, and common sense point of viw, thats what I believe.

  • Oh really you know enough about it but it yet you think it's a lie because we haven't all grown wings yet? That comment shows you know nothing about the subject let alone enough to disprove it. Evolution simply doesn't work like that.

  • But we have mutated plenty of times already, just look at the fossil record, just because your not seeing it in your lifetime doesnt mean small changes aren't happening that in time will equal to big changes. Your claiming evolution should work as a ladder in that we should all be evolving and improving ourselves. It doesn't work like that, just do some research into Natural Selection. There's loads of stuff on YT about the subject.

  • human physical evolution has been ruined, there is no more natural selection. everyone gets to live, defects or not. the obesity problem is a big example. in the wild if u were over weight ud get eatin cuz ur 2 slow. now u get to live and mate. giving that to the next generation only concentrating the problem

  • The selection pressures on humans still exist Because not all people have children and some have more children than others. People who have the most children tend to be very social,attractive during their teen-young adult years, do not use birth control and generally do not have higher education.

  • Also obesity is not caused by genetics- it is caused by eating too many calories. However, people who are overweight do tend to have a slower metabolism which is controlled by genetics. However, even if you do have a slow metabolism you can still become thin by eating less food.

    In the wild, it is very difficult to get food, so the people with slower metabolisms tend to be favored.

  • Actually, you are wrong, in that in certain instances genetics does play a vital role in determining the obesity of various offspring, particularly where the certain glands are effected.

  • we have doctors, people with mental disorders can breed. people with many defects still have kids. and dont tell me the attractive and naturaly selected people have kids. the people with 6 kids rnt the attractive doctor and buisness woman. its the people in the ghettos, the majority of the time. u cant tell me if 2 fat people have kids, and thoes fat kids have kids and so on, thoes kids eating properly or not wont have a genetic tendancy to be overweight

  • er evolution is naturally a slow process.

    But we're lucky cuz with genetic engineering we'll soon be able to speed it up, well i say speed it up. Who knows where we'll be able to take it! Hopefully we'll breed a race of beings far far superior to the likes of you. We don't need 'god' anymore. We never needed that rediculous notion. Best thing about it is that countries like china, russia and even the UK are already doing it. The USA has too many stupid 'moral' objections.

  • Lol, Evolution is not a slow process, unless you count 20 years as slow. Humans just dont evolve AT ALL because we have formed societies. Though All that I suppose changes when we start with genetic engenering

  • IO666 you have no idea what you are talking about. Go watch AronRa's channel before you make comments on what you think evolution is.

  • The likes of me? FUCK YOU! I havn't bashed any one and then all you fags come around start mouthing off and now I'm pissed. So If I have been offensive its becasue I hate all you fucking dickless spineless fur munching fagot ass cunts! Stop giving me shit.

    I started this by sating how evolution is bullshit and then people like you have to take it as an attack. FUCK OFF! It's an opinion.

  • Yeh we have been here 0.1 million years compared to the dinosours who were here 250 million. So why you think we should have witnessed some life changing evolutionary advance I don't know.

  • TO SPARKY: It is natural for INSECTS because they are not HUMAN.

    DICKHEAD

  • Hmm... gaybies.

  • So, is gay sex still, "unnatural" if it happens in nature?

  • it is but an anomly something that happens when things get out of whack inside them

  • But how is this an anomaly if it is beneficial to their reproduction?

  • the video never said it was beneficial to reproduction. it just simply stated, how two male bugs can have sex and have some jizz left over so that when the bi male has sex with a women the jizz from the other insect male can get into the girl insect. like I said, chemical inbalances, things go wrong, the insect turns into an anomoly in the system.

    notice how in human people can be strickly gay? well animals and insects are never just gay, they show both hetero and homosecual qualities.

  • But in this instance, the first beetle could be completely gay and still have offspring. Although they did state that the reason would be practice for hetero sex or a dominance test. It is sure though that homosexual encounters are frequent among beetles and can be benificial.

  • we can not be sure. obviously nature has thrown us a curve ball. I would like to say it is a natural disaster, if you will. something that goes to far and breaks up the cycle.

  • this video still did not explain the title

  • It did: You have males A&B, female C. A has gay sex with B. Then B hetero sex with C. Then there is a 1% chance that C gets child from A because of the gay sex that A had.

  • Well unless C fucks B in the A how is a baby going to come from that. A would have taken B up the A then B would have taken C in the V.

  • HAHAS MALE ON MALE JK

  • Um, if any human gets another human pregnant because of a third humans sperm was... just.. nm ^.^

  • stupid queers

  • sounds like an odd evolutionary advantage...

  • Yes on Prop 8!

  • Survival requires diversity. All kinds.

  • These scientists have WAYYYYYY too much time on their hands. Who pays for this shit???

  • oh cmmon even the bugs are gay -_-

  • I hope nobody is foolish enough to try to apply this observation to humans ? Let cockroaches be cockroches. Let humans be humans !

  • Why do you think we're that different? Both humans and cockroaches are born, eat, breathe, move, interact, copulate, and die. Doesn't every living thing? Even if we are so different, homosexuality is even seen in the animal world, including primates.

  • You have to admit though, this is hardly "homosexuality" in the same sense that two male humans are homosexual.

  • why?

  • Perhaps. Perhaps not. We don't know if love or lust exists in the animal world, nor will we ever. Regardless, even if they're simply mistaking each other for the opposite sex (happens a lot with fireflies), homosexuality exists, and it doesn't destroy a species. Why condemn it?

  • I'm not condemning anything, but in this case, there's a clear evolutionary advantage involved, whereas in humans, homosexuality does not present such an advantage.

    That doesn't make it wrong, it just means that you can't directly compare these bugs to human behavior. And nobody is claiming that homosexuality is destroying the human species. I'm just saying that this is comparing apples to oranges, just as human cannibalism isn't the same as fireflies eating each other.

  • I agree completely. I'm afraid I was a little confused by the originator's words. I agree with the first sentence, but not how the second was worded. I hope this closes our discussion peacefully =)

  • OK I agree. You are like a Cockroach ! Everyone to their own.

  • LOL

  • Bloody cheating bisexual beetles!

  • The benefit is that some males get more chance to fertilize females that they never even meet. It's logical, but not my idea of fun. ;-)

  • i dont understand how sperm gets passed on? like residue?

  • yes that's what i think

  • I think the title is misleading.

  • How so?

  • how is that a 'benefit'?

    (referring to the narrator's last sentence)

  • only a benefit for the dominant beetle i think, looks like it allows it ensure that it has offspring when that other beetle mates,

    seems to have to more to with passing on genes than being gay

  • That is a good question...how is that a benefit? I don't see any for us, but for them, maybe.

    Female are genetically designed to be attracted to more than one sources of sperm fertilization ;] from a book "sperm wars". Not saying all females are genetically a slut, but aren't all guys are cheaters? And proud of it too, lmao.

    ;p

  • Species survival requires diversity of genes. Alpha male and singular queens who chose the males they mate with (common amongst insects) works against diversity.

    So I think the point is that by having a mechanism where males transmit *other* male sperm regains some diversity (you only need a little) which prevents an "all eggs in one basket" evolutionary strategy (which would be doomed to complete species failure in the long run).

  • funny how most people don't get point of the video

  • gay ass beatles

  • 0:29 THREESOMMMEEEE!!

    0:33 Oh no, Now Thats just gang rape

  • That is how the video should have been narrated.

  • lol =]

  • these beatles are damned to hell

    repent now

  • I read the title and said to myself "What?"

  • male on male action !!!

  • Those beetles are not practicing homosexuality. They are practicing how to dominate and get in position to mate. They are all male and therefore not having intercourse.

  • cool, bisexuals has bigger chance on surviving after all, if you see the big picture that is.

  • so if its natural for bugs and animals to do it,why isnt is natural for humans to do it? so are they going to hell too? uhmmmm makes you wonder

  • wow... for such academic posts, newscientist recieves alot of moronic comments. anyway, i could watch these videos all day. i am so glad there are people out there researching all these unique facets of nature and others who use their findings and apply them to benifit mankind

  • the 4 beetles stack together and putting their penis to the other one

  • mmm swordfight

  • awesome XD

  • I didnt know beetles are GAY LOLMYASSOFF

  • it must suck to be a submissive heterosexual beetle

  • hahaha, stupid gay beetles

  • porn !

  • EW! Gay beetle sex!

  • OMG WTF thats crazy

  • LIES!

  • I did not see that beetle stick it's dick in that other beetles mouth or ass? Get over it!!!

  • you Get over it!!!

  • I'm over it.

  • Male-on-male action? lol couldnt they use another choice of words? xD

  • haha

  • wow, that's an interesting thing to know, some bugs are gay just like some humans.

  • LOLzerz LOLligag me with a spoon!

  • Hmm, practice for the big time with lady-bugs. This unfortunately doesn't explain cases of complete sexual reversal with only interest for the same sex, which does appear in animals other than humans.

    Then again, the religious right has been pretty good at cherry picking whatever scientific evidence it likes (creationism) so this gay research seems a bit pointless.

  • ahh so gayyyyyy......

  • lmao a beetle 3some

  • ok beetles doing it is disturbing like A LOT XD

  • LIKE TOTALLY XD

  • benefits? fuck no, gay sex is pointless and disgusting. beetles are just too stupid to know male from female, is that how gay mens minds work????

    ok i went a bit too far but still how does gay sex with beetles have any benefits

  • as the video says the sperm of the second male beetle is pass on to the female. what that produces is a greater opportunity to expand the gene pool which is the greatest advantage on sexual reproduction.

  • How does a guy jacking off to porn have any benefit? His sperm is lost to a tissue in the garbage.

    The human mind seeks the pleasure of sex regardless of a long term benefit. Gay people are attracted to same sex for the same reason you are attracted to the opposite sex - hormones. Ever wonder why some lesbians are very man like? Hormones!

  • yea you right but not entirely ...beeing gay is a psihical thing ...

  • It's more hormone receptors in gay men, but yeah, you're right!

  • what do hormones have to do with it? Ever wondered who a blind from birth person would be attracted to?

  • "what do hormones have to do with it?"

    Are you serious? Hormones control body physiology and growth, sex drive, penis size, breast size, hair growth, menstruation, etc. Men and women with low sex drive often take hormones. Neutered males (dogs for example) lose all their sex drive. Why do think a boy's voice deepens at puberty? Why do you think many gay men have high voices?

  • so gay dont bath?

  • "Gay sex" "Male on male action"

    Wow, New scientist is so with the times!!

  • beetles are fuckin fags
