Rossellini: 'Ducks have interesting vaginas'

Isabella Rossellini has said that female ducks have interesting vaginas.

The Blue Velvet actress stars in a series of short films called Seduce Me about the sex lives of various animals.

Rossellini told The Observer: "I don't know about the most interesting sex life but the female duck has an interesting vagina. It has a lot of dead ends, like a maze. Female ducks are often raped violently by a group of males. She can decide where the sperm goes.

"If she is mated by a male she likes and thinks would be good for her babies, then she would let his sperm go to a channel that leads to her eggs. Otherwise, she can send the sperm to a dead end. Extraordinary."

One short film features Rossellini, wearing a duck outfit, being sexually attacked by other ducks and describing the experience.

In the clip, Rossellini says: "They all want to mate with me with their corkscrew penises - ouch - forced copulation - get away! But I evolved vaginal complexity to keep control.

"Ouch ouch, one of them is raping me, I don't care! My vaginal structure is a twisted tunnel - a labyrinth. I can block the phallus! I can discombobulate the phallus - I can trick the phallus."

The Seduce Me films are a spinoff of the Webby-award winning Green Porno series. Seven of the films will air as part of the Sexual Nature exhibition at London's Natural History Museum.
