如果为看“奇技淫巧”而买这本书,你会在字里行间看见作者的坏笑。这是一本严肃的学术读物,尽管里面有不少奇闻可充饭局谈资。作者拉科尔认为,在今天,由于大型情趣用品商的支持,评价手淫这种“最民主的性”逐渐被成年人接受。在古代,人们早婚,手淫者少得多,除了少数僧侣,并没有人认为手淫是大罪恶。只是1722年的那本小册子《手淫》,让人们逐渐相信手淫的坏处——会疲倦、会失明、会死。这个概念后来被那些代表进步的启蒙人士而非保守派接收下来,用来吓唬年轻人。 If you buy this book for the sake of the genius, you will see the author’s grudge between the lines. This is a serious scholarly book, though there are many anecdotes to fill the budget. Author La Cole believes that today, due to the support of large-scale sex toys manufacturers, evaluation of masturbation this “most democratic nature” gradually accepted by adults. In ancient times, people marry early and masturbate a lot less, except for a few monks, and nobody thinks masturbation is a big evil. Just the pamphlet “masturbation” in 1722 gradually led people to believe in the disadvantages of masturbation - being tired, losing their sight and going to die. The concept was later adopted by enlightened people who represent progress rather than conservatives to scare young people.
