I respect people who dress up in a correct manner when giving talks. You look absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. It was so educational, funny, motivating and inspirational.
I love when a lady freely speaks about "lady parts"...with humor, insight, very carefully disguised research-acquired intelligence, and, most of all, genuine love. Never heard of this lady before, but she's great!
Loved it. So nice to hear sexuality and sex , even so called 'weird' sex (hmm, frozen worms), talked about in a way that is not smutty or judgemental , but shows that we all as individuals should enjoy it in a way that suits us, not other people's perceptions and expectations of what is acceptable or 'normal' . Bravo Alix, keep on keeping on educating .
Dear Ms. Fox, Although this lecture was posted three + years ago, it came to my attention only today, so I 1) have no idea whether you'll read this note, and 2) wish I wasn't posting this note to you in such a public forum. Many years ago, during my late teens and early twenties, and once in my thirties, I, too, had the experience - like your client, "Harriet," of having "visions" during orgasm. While I have mentioned this on rare occasions to others, mostly therapists, I've never felt those experiences were taken seriously, and so I learned not to talk about them-except to allow those experiences to seep into my writing (I compose both poetry and fiction). Your lecture is the first and-with one exception-only confirmation I've ever received that I'm not alone. With my first "real" girlfriend, in college, it was most common, just a year or two later, with my first wife, it happened only once, but in a most life-affecting way; since then, the only like experience was with another woman, who was my neighbor, but never my lover (to my great regret!). I have never heard of synaesthesia until today, except as connected to hallucinogens, but I do have two distinct memories from childhood of striking my head so hard I was "out" for a few minutes-barrelling head-first into a tree on a sled I'd lost control of, and being tripped by another boy in gym class, so that I struck, head-first, a huge iron beam that supported the gym roof. Until this lecture, I had never regarded those experiences as having a physiological cause behind them; rather, I've always tended to attribute those experiences to some sort of "tapping in" or "opening" to the Jungian collective unconscious, most particularly the anima. Now that I am 60, those experiences are well behind me, but I honestly miss them. And I've never felt the intensity or purity of love with any woman since that "ability" or "condition" left me. But it means something important to learn that I am not alone, and I hope you will read this, because I thank you.
Holy sh**... I had “synesthesia” after brain injury in military and then very intensely during a long illness. I reported it to doctors and they acted like they didn’t have any idea what I was talking about.... so I stopped talking about it. It was awful but eventually went away. It was where certain common sounds triggered the horrible feeling you get in your brain when there’s screeching on a chalkboard. I got it with the slightest of sounds like socks on carpet. So glad it’s gone because from what she’s saying, for some people it sticks around.
That was by far the most unexpected and oddest Ted Talk I've heard to date. Well done! When human behaviour is stranger than fiction, then we are just perfect! I will, of course, be forever empathetic towards earthworms though!! Poor little guys!
I'm not sure super fetation is the right term, those babies come from the same womb. I was pregnant with one in each womb, unfortunately the younger one, younger by almost 4 weeks, didn't make it, I miscarried him. Thankfully his brother is alive and well.
Synethesia comes about bc all our senses are processed by the brain, what we experience is interpreted by the brain. Some people hearing music see colors with it, for some it can be really really distracting, Oliver Sachs in his book Musicophelia had a garage mechanic who had to constantly listen to heavy metal music bc it was the only music that didn't drive her nuts. With S/m play, sensation play, your mind changes what is normally pain into pleasure. Best description I heard of the difference. Pain is going to the bathroom in the middle of the night and stubbing your toe on a doorstop,that pain; sensation play is just that.
i wish she would have at least worn red colored shoes - just as an aesthetic choice. Or else, those gloves could be blue?! by the end of the video however.. it grew on me.
A most interesting talk and how society would like us too live within it's boundaries and not diverse from that and we supposed too be happy with that !!
What Hazel really need is 2 guys with open minds. long narrow cocks, and access to a strong bed. It would be a whole different kind of 3 way. With attention to timing, I bet it could be done.
What a convenient particular variety of synesthesia this lady has! Many people with synesthesia report that their disorder frequently presents in inconvenient, unpleasant, and unfortunate ways. Some of the most common complaints are of a randomness between the stimulus and the resulting sensation, a mismatch between anomalous sensation and the tone of the situation that gave rise to it, or unpleasant/odd sensations making it difficult to enjoy otherwise pleasant experiences.
I'm sad that I don't see any of the things she's talking about. I've got a wife, I've got two wonderful boys. I still miss things things that she is so passionately talking about.
The paired uteri are a vestige of humanities evolutionary past. Certain primitive mammals have them as a normal feature today. Marsupials have twin uteri.
How many people see colours when they close their eyes? I do and use the swirls of colour (usually purple) for self hypnosis. It may be connected to my having Parkinson's disease which is a neurological condition.
No, I've always seen the colours when I close my eyes. I too used it from toddler age to sooth myself to sleep. I can tell the colours to do what I want or ask for more of this colour then the next. An opthalmologist was very fascinated and told me I can actually affect my visual cortex! I also have synesthesia but my youngest has it much stronger
@@PatchouliPenny I've had the same as long as I can remember, but I have to wait for the purple to show then make it grow. I didn't realise until a short time ago that this wasn't universal. I had a few sessions of hypnotherapy to help with sleeping as it's good for PD. I told the hypnotherapist and she used it during sessions to reinforce the hypno. I use it for self hypno sessions now. She recorded a session I use for self hypno when I feel I need it.
I see colors when climaxing, psychedelic blobs of pulsating color. Turkois, purple, gold. I am now wondering if I might in fact have some brain damage. I was in a car accident as a baby and I fell down a stone stairs when I was 4 (had a heavy concussion).
As an artist I can empathise with understanding of synergy. I only get it with tastes responding to certain colours, and numbers with weight. I’d love to know how to develop it in some way to such great effect when enjoying my orgasms, but without damaging my brain as some of your clients seem to have done. Thank you for the interesting presentation.
An extrovert, obviously. With a stage andr audience. I suppose the aim is to engage, inforrm and shock. She has succeeded eloquently in her blue shoes.
Awe her little speech at the end got me in tears!
Put this one on the Required Viewing list for all people.
Excellent, witty, clever and a great message.
I respect people who dress up in a correct manner when giving talks. You look absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. It was so educational, funny, motivating and inspirational.
I am an old and long retired physician, and just learned a huge amount. It won't help
me, but it's good to know.
I too, found it informative. I actually came across this on autoplay while I was on a different tab.
Alix is a great speaker, love her podcasts, hope I'm seen in the same regard one day

Let's all go ahead and judge worm guy. Get him some help.
this is one of the most underrated tedx talks I've seen
I'm impressed with your talk. My grandmother had 2 complete sets of female organs. At least 1 of her 11 kids did also. Write a book, I'll buy it!
I also have a friend who has 2 vaginas.
Wait, so she could have kids normally?? I would have guessed this would hamper child-bearing capabilities.
Where would I find a girl with two vaginas?
4:50 - Hubert left no stone unturned when it came to getting his rocks off...

literally.
That was exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you‼️💗🎶🙃

Easily one of the most entertaining TED talks ever! Thank you Ms Fox!

Captivating visuals, intriguing, informative and well delivered talk. I truly enjoyed it and feel smarter for having watched it.
I DO NOT regret watching this video 🎉
What an eye-opener, ear-popping Presentation! I needed that to stretch open my human knowledge!
That was by far the most unexpected and oddest Ted Talk I've heard to date. Well done! When human behaviour is stranger than fiction, then we are just perfect! I will, of course, be forever empathetic towards earthworms though!! Poor little guys!
God bless her. A voice of sanity. Now how does this dad pass this information on to his two 20 something year old daughters without freaking them out?
What a great speaker.
This lady is hilarious, and i like that she is dressed like a sci fi villain.
As always sheer class and style. I learn more everytime so thank you.X
Wonderful talk! What an eye-opener on human experience. And it's only the tip of the iceberg???
That's a great talk. She should have more views.
Great talk and message! She managed to loosen up the audience. They were a bit stuffy in the beginning! Great job!!
What a splendid conclusion :applause:.
I'm not sure super fetation is the right term, those babies come from the same womb.

Brilliant talk! Great delivery (oo-er, obviously) and so funny! Hopefully we can all go down/up the foxhole again soon 😉😊
Now I'm crushing. Lovely talk. Thank you
a brilliantly impassioned speech with a beautiful sentiment as a conclusion
I love your talk.
That was the most interesting way I’ve ever learned a life lesson that I already knew but many people need to know I’ve ever heard
I'm a straight middle-aged guy and even I have to wonder what possessed her to wear those shoes with that dress
😄😁👍
I actually kinda like those bold shoes lol
I thought it was a great choice, in or out of keeping with the lesson she was giving. The entire outfit was bold
😂
british
Well done!!!
Do us again?
Excellent!!
Fascinating
Communication skills 💯👏🏻
good talk...
Ali’s, so love 💕 your dress. Where can I buy one like your’s?
I always liked how the word fetish sounds like the whipping of a whip. Fffff-tsshhh!
Hahahahah omg true
i wish she would have at least worn red colored shoes - just as an aesthetic choice. Or else, those gloves could be blue?! by the end of the video however.. it grew on me.
Almost any color would have been than powder blue. She looks like she was dressed by someone who hated her.
Red shoes; she would melt into stage. Maybe Canary Yellow or Yum Yum Yellow would have worked?
A most interesting talk and how society would like us too live within it's boundaries and not diverse from that and we supposed too be happy with that !!
Hubert had too much time on his hands.
No.... he had gloves on his hands full of nettles.
Thyme
@@MarkGregoryatBoH lol ;)
Well Said
Very interesting.
love the audience straight face to laugh!
so hazel has two periods... im so sorry for her!
What Hazel really need is 2 guys with open minds. long narrow cocks, and access to a strong bed.
It would be a whole different kind of 3 way. With attention to timing, I bet it could be done.
In my world making love, to one you love, to me is not bonking.
Keep practising >:)
Agree... it requires a much more special word than that.
@@juneelle370 thank you for a bit of support. My wife would agree, I will show her.
I love her gloves!
That was awesome. 😊
When we finally free ourselves of ourselves, will we truly live.
What's with the Michelin tarp ?
A lesson on thinking outside the box...go beyond your old obsessions
Hubert sounds like a garden variety masochist. :)

Hah! Great talk! I think this is an opportunity to build a synesthesia map. I can imagine there's a whole rich language waiting to be mapped out.
very cool.
I'm sad that I don't see any of the things she's talking about. I've got a wife, I've got two wonderful boys. I still miss things things that she is so passionately talking about.
I think people like Hazel, who can carry 2 children at the same time that are different ages, should be worshipped. What an incredible body!
jaw dropped to laugh actually
I find the superfetation thing hard to believe. Wouldn't the hormones of pregnancy prevent ovulation?
Intellectual progress right here. Humans are going to do great things I'm sure

YEA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well Said !!!
Her puns are more painful than her stories.....
I wish I could unhear this
Well Done !
Hubert should start a UA-cam channel and an only fans. He seems like a really cool guy.
He wasn't young in the 60s, was he?
@@fionafiona1146 have you met him?
I need subtitles. I got most of it...
any tips on how to get synesthesia
99.99% of orchids do not smell.
Why do TED talk women mostly wear stiletto heals? They look very uncomfortable.
The better to step on me!!!
Good shoes don’t hurt your feet, even if they’re stilettos.
🔥🔥🔥💖
Get in. Jenefer
I heard of getting off on worms up the bum, but never a worm in the wang! Humans are SO weird!
I had this too "created a pea green tower made of building blocks" .. minecraft is awesome !
I see colors when climaxing, psychedelic blobs of pulsating color. Turkois, purple, gold. I am now wondering if I might in fact have some brain damage. I was in a car accident as a baby and I fell down a stone stairs when I was 4 (had a heavy concussion).
Why is this a Ted talk?
My thoughts exactly. 🙄🙄🙄
Because it's informative? Ideas worth sharing with other curious and like-minded people?
Applause, woman!
As an artist I can empathise with understanding of synergy. I only get it with tastes responding to certain colours, and numbers with weight. I’d love to know how to develop it in some way to such great effect when enjoying my orgasms, but without damaging my brain as some of your clients seem to have done.
Thank you for the interesting presentation.
ECT works!
Formicaphilia and masochism aren't particularly strongly correlated or comparable whatsoever.
Was that HowArd or How Weird?
So... animals, corpses , children.... unwilling partners... smh... idk about her last few sentences...
An extrovert, obviously. With a stage andr audience. I suppose the aim is to engage, inforrm and shock. She has succeeded eloquently in her blue shoes.
strange
Gees US. I came here with an open mind.
And Hazel still couldn't give two f**ks :0)
I wonder if she's available for a date.
Me too. I must Google her and be 1 of a million fans
Bring lemon 🍋 oil!
so how many actually enjoy play with animals?
Would it be dangerous for the lady with having children in different ovaries?
Yes it usually does
Wow
Wow! How do you get paid for job?
be a women lol
Hi Alix loved your Ted Talk, and you have some pretty toes!
I think i have that olfactory syndrome, when i get laid it smells of ............ success!👍😂
Trust me I tried to laugh. Pushed myself to 6:50 but ..ok bye
You got to 6:50? 3:37 was far enough for me.
@srry im mentally ill u wont get a reply Don't be judgemental, but rather thankful that you are more open minded than them.
Whoo synesthesia! I was born with mine
Why that dress tho?
cos it made you question.. it looks like a nerd comic dominatrix outfit .. suits her!
why not
Hideous outfit!
What does your opinion of her clothes have to do with anything?!?
