女人的「性」比男人的還複雜嗎？作家莎菈巴麥克說，答案是「不」。在這場讓人開眼界的演說中，她說明了數個世紀以來，我們的文化形成，是基於對女性身體的有瑕疵之認知，她揭開了一些古老的謎思，並為性愉悅做了更豐富的定義，也是更接近女人真實的性的定義。

The thing is, female sexuality

They could've just asked women
about their experience.

他們大可直接向女人

Instead they probed the female body

要回到現代醫學的開端。
02:37
Cast your mind back to the 16th century,

2892
把你的大腦帶回十六世紀，
02:40
a time of scientific revolution in Europe.

2393
我們在進步……

有時候。
02:56
You see, the fathers of anatomy --
45
164708
2560
解剖學之父——
02:59
and I say "fathers" because,
let's face it, they were all dudes --

46
167292
4226
我說「之父」是因為，
面對現實吧，他們都是男的——

03:03
were poking about between women's legs
47
171542
2476
在戳弄女人的兩腿之間，
03:06
and trying to classify what they saw.
48
174042
2875
試圖將他們的所見給歸類。
03:09
They weren't quite sure
what to do with the clitoris.
what to do with the clitoris.
49
177833
3875
他們不太確定該拿陰蒂如何是好。
03:14
It didn't appear to have
anything to do with making babies.
anything to do with making babies.
50
182500
3292
它顯然和生孩子沒關係。
03:19
The leading anatomist at the time declared
51
187000
2601
當時帶頭的解剖學家宣稱
03:21
that it was probably
some kind of abnormal growth --

陰蒂可能是某種異常的生長——
03:25

（笑聲）
03:26
and that any woman who had one
was probably a hermaphrodite.

54
194500
4208
且有陰蒂的女人很可能是陰陽人。
03:31
It got so bad that parents would sometimes
have their daughter's clitoris cut off
have their daughter's clitoris cut off
55
199875
5143
狀況糟到有些父母會把
他們女兒過大的陰蒂切除。
03:37
if it was deemed too large.
56
205042
2267
03:39
That's right.
57
207333
1268
沒錯。
03:40
Something we think of today
as female genital mutilation

03:49
You have to wonder:
60
217958
1268
你不得不納悶：
03:51
if they were that confused
about women's bodies,
about women's bodies,
61
219250
3184
如果他們對女人的身體
感到如此困惑，
感到如此困惑，
03:54
why didn't they just ask women
for a little help?
for a little help?
62
222458
2500
他們為什麼不向女人求助？
03:58
But you must be thinking,
"All that was history.

63
226667

但，你一定在想：
「那都是過去事了。

現在的世界不一樣了。
04:04
Women have everything.

女人什麼都有。
04:06
They have the birth control pill,

她們有避孕藥丸，

they have sexting

04:15
Things must be better now.
69

現在狀況一定比較好了。
04:18
But medical ignorance
of the female body continues.

70
246875
3875
但，醫學上對於女性身體的
無知仍然持續存在。
無知仍然持續存在。
04:25
How many of you recognize this?
71
253833
2042
在座有誰知道這是什麼？
04:28
It's the full structure of the clitoris.
72
256875
3142
這是陰蒂的完整結構。
04:32
We think of the clitoris
as this little pea-sized nub,

73
260041
3435
我們認為陰蒂是
豌豆大小的突起物，

04:35
but actually it extends
deep into the body.

74
263500
3059
但其實它向內延伸到身體內部。
04:38
Most of it lies under the skin.
75
266583
2310
它的很大一部分都藏在皮膚底下。
04:40
It contains almost as much
erectile tissue as the penis.

76
268917
3958
它所包含的勃起組織
幾乎和陰莖一樣多。
幾乎和陰莖一樣多。
04:46
It's beautiful, isn't it?
77
274375
1292
它很美，對吧？
04:48
It looks a little like a swan.
78
276333

它看起來有點像是天鵝。

男士們：
05:46
imagine if you were at risk
of losing your penis

97
334917
3767
想像你有失去陰莖的風險，
05:50
because doctors weren't
totally sure where it was

因為醫生不能完全
肯定陰莖在哪裡，

或它看起來是什麼樣子的。
05:57
Unsurprisingly,
100

不意外，
05:59
many women aren't too clear
on their own genital anatomy either.

06:03
You can't really blame them.

It's one reason why labiaplasty

這就是為什麼陰脣整形手術在女人
和青少女之間變得非常熱門。

among women and teen girls.
110

06:59
Of course they are.
115
407500
1726
當然，她們要。
07:01
But I think the impulse to trivialize sex
is part of our problem.
is part of our problem.
116
409250
5226
但，我認為，我們有一部分的問題
就是我們有輕視性議題的念頭。

3809
我們所處的文化似乎對性很迷戀。
07:10
We use it to sell everything.
118
418333
2417
我們會利用「性」銷售每樣產品。
07:13
We tell women that looking sexy
119
421417
1559
我們告訴女人，
妳能做的最重要的事之一

is one of the most important
things you can do.

120
423000
2542
就是讓自己看起來很性感。
07:18
But what we really do is we belittle sex.
121
426708
3101
但，我們在做的其實是在貶低性。
07:21
We reduce it to a sad shadow
of what it truly is.

122
429833
4476
我們把它降級成

Sex is more than just an act.

So what is sex?
130
460417
2809
所以，性是什麼？
07:55
We've traditionally defined the act of sex
131
463250
2934
傳統上，我們將性的行為定義為
07:58
as a linear, goal-oriented process.
132
466208
4226
一個目標導向的線性過程。
08:02
It's something that starts with lust,
133
470458
2685
這個過程始於性慾，
08:05
continues to heavy petting
134
473167
2934
接著是大量的愛撫動作，
08:08
and finishes with a happy ending.
135
476125

最後是快樂的結尾。
08:11
Except many women
don't experience it this way.

08:18
It's less linear for them
and more circular.

08:29
It says many things,
140
497458
1268
它表述了許多東西，包括：
08:30
including that women can begin
an encounter for many different reasons

4809
女人開始一段邂逅的
理由可能有很多，

08:39
They can finish with a climax
or multiple climaxes,

144
507583

她們的結尾可能是單一高潮
或多重高潮，
08:44
or satisfaction without a climax at all.
145
512957
3625
或是有滿足感卻完全沒有高潮。
08:49
All options are normal.
146
517500

所有這些選項都很正常。
08:52
Some people are starting to champion
a richer definition of sexuality.

147
520957
6019
有些人開始支持給性事
一個更豐富的定義。

08:59
Whether you identify as male,

527000
4268
不論你認同的性別

是男性、女性，或都不是，
09:03
sex is about our relationship
to the senses.
to the senses.
149
531292
4059
性的重點是我們和感受的關係。
09:07
It's about slowing down,
150
535375
1750
重點是要慢下步調，
09:09
listening to the body,
151
537917
1767
傾聽身體的聲音，
09:11
coming into the present moment.
152
539708
2167
真正地處在當下。
09:14
It's about our whole health
and well-being.
and well-being.
153
542667
2333
重點是我們的整個健康和幸福。
09:18
In other words,
154
546667
1267
換言之，
09:19
sex at its true breadth isn't profane,
155
547958
4976
真正有廣度的性並不是褻瀆，
09:24
it's sacred.
156
552958
1250
它是神聖的。
09:28
That's one reason why women
are redefining their sexuality today.
are redefining their sexuality today.
157
556500
4934
這就是現今女人要重新定義
她們的性行為的理由之一。
她們的性行為的理由之一。
09:33
They're asking: What is sex for me?
158
561458
3000
她們會問：「性
對我來說是什麼？」
對我來說是什麼？」
09:37
So they're experimenting with practices
that are less about the happy ending --
that are less about the happy ending --
159
565792
5017
所以，她們在實驗一些做法，
重點不是放在快樂的結尾——
重點不是放在快樂的結尾——
09:42
more about feeling whole.
160
570833
2042
而是著重於感覺到完整。
09:45
So they're trying out
spiritual sex classes,
spiritual sex classes,
161
573708
3185
她們在嘗試靈性的性課程，
09:48
masturbation workshops --
162
576917
2184
手淫研討會——
09:51
even shooting their own porn
163
579125
2518
甚至拍攝她們自己的色情片，
09:53
that celebrates the diversity
of real bodies.
of real bodies.
164
581667
3208
來讚頌真實身體的多樣性。
09:58
For anyone who still feels
this is a trivial issue, consider this:
this is a trivial issue, consider this:
165
586167
4392
如果你仍然覺得這是
不重要的議題，想想這一點：
不重要的議題，想想這一點：
10:02
understanding your body
is crucial to the huge issue

166
590583
3560
對於「性教育和同意」
這個大議題，
這個大議題，
10:06
of sex education and consent.
167
594167
2666
了解你的身體是很重要的。
10:10
By deeply, intimately knowing
what kind of touch feels right,
what kind of touch feels right,
168
598000
4976
藉由深刻、親密地去認識
什麼樣的觸感才是對的，
什麼樣的觸感才是對的，
10:15
what pressure, what speed, what context,
169
603000
3768
什麼壓力、什麼速度、什麼情境，
10:18
you can better know
what kind of touch feels wrong
what kind of touch feels wrong
170
606792
3309
你才能更理解什麼樣的觸碰感是錯的，
10:22
and have the confidence to say so.
171
610125
2042
並有自信地說出來。
10:25
This isn't ultimately about women
having more or better sex.
having more or better sex.
172
613292
4184
這最終的目的並不是
讓女人有更多或更好的性。
讓女人有更多或更好的性。
10:29
It's not about making sure
women have as many orgasms as men.
women have as many orgasms as men.
173
617500
4417
也不是要確保女人
和男人有一樣多的高潮。
和男人有一樣多的高潮。
10:34
It's about accepting yourself
and your own unique experience.
and your own unique experience.
174
622875
5851
重點在於接受你自己
以及你自己獨特的體驗。
10:40
It's about you being
the expert on your body.
the expert on your body.
175
628750
3208
重點在於你是了解
自己身體的專家。
自己身體的專家。
10:44
It's about defining pleasure
and satisfaction on your terms.
and satisfaction on your terms.
176
632708
5810
重點在於用你自己的語言
來定義愉悅和滿足。
來定義愉悅和滿足。
10:50
And if that means you're happiest
having no sex at all,
having no sex at all,
177
638542
3809
就算完全沒有性生活
對你來說才是最快樂的，
對你來說才是最快樂的，
10:54
that's perfect, too.
178
642375
1292
那也非常好。
10:57
If we define sex as part
of our whole health and well-being,
of our whole health and well-being,
179
645125
4184
如果我們把性定義為我們
整體健康和幸福的一部分，
整體健康和幸福的一部分，
11:01
then empowering women
and girls to fully own it
and girls to fully own it
180
649333
4101
那麼就讓女人和女孩，
能完全自主擁有這類的健康和幸福，
能完全自主擁有這類的健康和幸福，
11:05
is a crucial next step toward equality.
181
653458
2459
這是通往平等的關鍵下一步。
11:08
And I think it would be
a better world not just for women
a better world not just for women
182
656958
4060
我認為，這會是個更好的世界，
不只是對女人而言，
不只是對女人而言，
11:13
but for everyone.
183
661042
1642
對所有人皆是如此。
