What do you see in the picture below? Look at the picture, then jump inside this post for an explanation.
Scientific research showed that children can’t recognise erotic scenes.
Instead they see 9 dolphins.
On the other hand, adult’s mind is rather “corrupted” so adult person may have problems spoting 9 dolphins at first eye glaze.
If you have trouble spoting dolphins in the first 6 seconds, then your mind is heavily corrupted, and you are seriously obsessed with sex! …better go and practice with easier examples.

I think the reason of the ‘scientific research’ result is that kids have not witnessed or imagines such scenes so something that has not existed for them will not be visible.
I’m 10.
I saw a naked couple first.
Took me 10 seconds to find all nine dolphins!
Took me 2 seconds to find the first dolphin.
Saw the two couples doing that first than the dolphins three second later. I am 11+. Must have a sick mind…
My nephews are in pre-k and kindergarden but they didn’t see the dolphins! I asked Gabriel first and he said aunt october why is there two naked people in the bottle? and when I asked Kori he said I see dolphins but why are is there a naked lady in the middle of the bottle? I laughed so hard it’s really funny! Bye! Oh I saw the couple first then about 3 minutes later I saw dolphins im only 13 LOL
Yari saved me by saying look at the shadows, or I never would have found those illusive little mammels! AND, it’s been a long time
since I was a kid! (a very long time)
If Tyri hadn’t said to look at the shadows I never would have found the optical illusion pertaining the dolphins and I’m 10 x 6 yrs old and then some! (for facebood friends; this is fun; Brain Games at “moillusions.com”
PS – Like I have time messing around with this??? But it IS more fun than doing what I’m suppose to be doing; dishes, paperwork, laundry, floors – Oh Well!
I can only see the erotic seen and im 13?? Where are the freaking dolphins??!!
I can only see 6 dolphins….I’m 13 and where the hell are the rest of the dolphins?!?!?!
Why is evryone giving their ages?!?!?!?
Looked at it for 5 min,,,, saw naked woman and a guy behind her havin a good time within a second =P still cant find any dolphins,,, at all
i found 12 dolphins but it says there are only 9 how dat possible and it only took 2 seconds
haha he’ is so right
I first saw the erotic picture but then I saw the dolphins(only after reading the text under it) and I’m 14.
ok im a kid and i see “something”…
um i’m only about 6 and i see boobies and a vagina and two people looking at each other
i don’t think u r 6…
if u really r 6..then u r sick..get help before u turn into adult..
If u were six, you can’t be reading this.
Im 10 xD I saw the dolphins first and then I’m like “thats not the illusion” and i back up and i see o.o
When I was only 10 and shown this I couldn’t even see dolphins.
I saw a blob.
Lol it took me about one minute to see the dolphins, How fucked up is my mind? XD
And then i only see 5 hahahahahah
After about 20 seconds I found 7. good or bad??
Uh… How would they see only the dolphins?
can’t see any dolphins LOL
i only c the 2 dolphins at each side could sum1 point out the rest
holy crap – this took me FOREVER to get.
I couldn’t see ANY dolphins; i was looking at the base where the jug is in water and trying to figure out if the dolphins were in or jumping out of the water or something… literally had to zoom in on this 10 times and look very very very carefully. I’d say this is definitely an exercise in negative spaces… Very cool.
SWEET!
i don’t see any dolphins
i saw 10 (look at the shine of the bottle)
Apparently there must be some octopuses there, too, squirting tons of ink into the water, ’cause there’s a lot more than just the dolphins (which I could not see at all until I magnified the image considerably) to that image. And just who thought it was a good idea to bottle dolphins? (Not to be confused with bottlenose dolphins.) What about some air for them?? THEY’RE DROWNING, PEOPLE!!!
I think I like the erotic image better.
My 7 year old brother saw this and instantly screamed… Someone help me lool
I’m 12 and i didn’t see the dolfins :/
okay i saw the erotic pic thing at first glance and itoke me like 3 minutes to find the nine dolphines so im pretty messed up
btw im a 13 year old girl
I still don’t see any damn dolphins.
this scientific stuff is a load of crap, i found not ONE dolphin, im 14, im a CHILD? “Scientific, mhm, my ass :)
lol im 14 i saw both scenes at the same time!
a man n a woman fucking n ther r dolphins i didnt count em
ok,no im noooot obsessed with sex but no i didnt see elephants F*ck
Dude, it’s not elephants, it’s giraffes…
I see a bottle. In Water. Wtf are yall looking at.. Ya’ filthy mongrels.
Does no one see it’s a glass bottle standing on wett ground? Hehe
Ok, in what way can we tell a brain is corrupt, and what is the proof? If you focus on the dark spots you see dolphins. If you focus on the light, you see two happy people. Why is the brain corrupt if it focus on the light?
I totally agree. ;)
so ummm what the hell is up with me im 9 and all i saw was two people!
I just showed this to my 3 y.o. and she said it was a lady. Not very good scientific evidence for me. That’s some B.S.
I’ve got an innocent perverted mind… I saw both on first sight
Man.. you think you’ve got problems? I’m staring at this for 5 minutes and I cant see just one fucking dolphin..
I only see 8, I can’t see the 9th one XD;
Why is seeing one part of an optical illusion first rather than another a sign of “corruption”? If I see the faces first instead of the vase on that popular illusion am I meant to be obsessed with faces? Or is it a sign that I’ve not yet been corrupted by vases?
wow, whos bored enough to even research that?
and i must be pretty messed up because i just saw sex, and im 13
we saw 2 ppl and boobies and dolphins
we saw boobies and 2 ppl (having woopsies)
and 13 dolphins and they were naked
im 12 and all i seeis ppl doing the nasty
I see a dolphin at the woman’s butt O.O
Ummm… I can’t find even ONE dolphin… I always knew I had a bit of a dirty mind but I didn’t think I was THIS bad. lol
Uh.. I can’t see the dolphins at all. After like a minute I found a couple. If there was no caption I could have this on my wall and never see them.
There are obviously NIPPLES
Its hard to see the dolphins when the image is small. Which might explain why some of the younger people are seeing the erotic image, because they aren’t seeing a big enough image. If your having trouble seeing the dolphins you can put the image in paint and invert the colours. The brain focuses more on the light image.
At last!!!… Actually I use to shrink these pictures to better spot the hidden stuff. With this example its better to ampliate;)
I know me and my family (My brother, sister, and mother) don’t have a corrupted mind, we know that, but I only see 1 dolphin underneath the bottle. I think it’s just a corrupted picture.
where dat fuck are da dolphins
THERE HELLA SMALL DOLPHINS!!!!
I really cant see the dolphins…but im not addict to sex i dont get it i dont watch porn and i think sex is wrong till marrige so why would i not see the dolphins
ps: im 14 so i guess its just a hormone thing
It look me a few minutes, but i finally see the dolphins.
Yup, I’m pretty perverted.
I had seen this illusion before and could not find the dolphins! So I just thought of it, and searched out this illusion to find those gosh-durned dolphins. And after a minute of concentration, I FOUND THEM!
HINT for the rest of you dirty-minded folk: this is a classic negative image illusion in reverse sort of. The dolphins are the darker shapes. Consider the lighter shapes that make up the dirty bits to be the background and ignore them. E.g., the pubic area is the TAIL of a dolphin that makes up part of the lady’s leg to your left. The space between the lady’s arms and the lovers’ heads are dolphins.
Once you’ve seen one or two, the rest are easier to find.
I’m 15, it took me under 5 seconds to see what this was….I’m still tryin to find the dolphins. ?!
haha I am 11 I see the dolphins and….. O_O
I seen them.Right after I was called corrupted.
i see people and dolphins :O eww and aww
aw….i didnt get it til i was told……”heavily corrupted” T_T….
Im 12 and I see people making sexy time!
Same thing here

my 8 year old sister was in the room when i saw this. im just glad she didnt look at the computer.
it took me like 3 minutes to see the dolphins. and im only 12
I only see people and im 10. -.-
Wy cant i see dlopins? :’(
Im still an 11 year old child, and Im seeing something bold!
Um, I saw the people first &only saw 7 dolphins ? Lol
I’m 13 .
I don’t see dolphins
I’m 12
My 6-year-old sister saw a girl dancing, 4-year old sister said same thing…..
I am 18 and saw the dolphins right off, as well as the “erotic” image. If I looked at the dark images I saw the dolphins, changed my focus to the white and I saw the people. My twin brother stared at it for a long while and couldn’t see the dolphins, even after I pointed them out it took him a minute to see it.
Hehehe, your right i am heavily corrupted my 13 year old friend immediatly asked me why i had porn on my ipod
Oh, yeah, good idea, I’ll show this to kids on the off chance they see dolphins.
