00:22
Alright. I'm going to show you a couple of images
0
4000
4000
好的，現在我要給大家看一些圖片
00:26
from a very diverting paper
1
8000
3000
取自一篇非常有趣的論文
00:29
in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
2
11000
4000
刊登在超音波醫學期刊上
00:33
I'm going to go way out on a limb and say that it is the most diverting paper
3
15000
3000
我要大膽的說, 這是超音波醫學期刊
00:36
ever published in The Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine.
4
18000
3000
刊登過最具娛樂性的論文
00:39
The title is "Observations of In-Utero Masturbation."
5
21000
5000
論文的標題是〈子宮內手淫的觀察〉
00:44
(Laughter)
6
26000
3000
（笑聲）
00:47
Okay. Now on the left you can see the hand -- that's the big arrow --
7
29000
4000
好,現在左邊你看到的是手,在大箭頭所指的地方
00:51
and the penis on the right. The hand hovering.
8
33000
3000
右邊是陰莖,在手的旁邊
00:54
And over here we have,
9
36000
2000
然後這邊我們看到的是
00:56
in the words of radiologist Israel Meisner,
10
38000
3000
引用放射線醫師Israel Meizner的話
00:59
"The hand grasping the penis in a fashion resembling masturbation movements."
11
41000
5000
「手握住陰莖做出類似手淫的動作」
01:04
Bear in mind this was an ultrasound,
12
46000
2000
請記住,這是超音波
01:06
so it would have been moving images.
13
48000
2000
所以這應該是動態圖片
01:08
Orgasm is a reflex of the autonomic nervous system.
14
50000
3000
性高潮是自主神經系統的反射反應
01:11
Now this is the part of the nervous system
15
53000
2000
這部份神經系統
01:13
that deals with the things that we don't consciously control,
16
55000
3000
處理的是我們無法以意志控制的事情
01:16
like digestion, heart rate and sexual arousal.
17
58000
4000
就像是消化、心跳、性慾
01:20
And the orgasm reflex can be triggered
18
62000
2000
激發性高潮反射的外在刺激
01:22
by a surprisingly broad range of input.
19
64000
4000
出乎意料的多樣
01:26
Genital stimulation. Duh.
20
68000
3000
生殖器官的刺激，老套！
01:29
But also Kinsey interviewed a woman
21
71000
2000
金賽博士就曾經訪談過一個女人
01:31
who could be brought to orgasm
22
73000
3000
只要有人撫摸她的眉毛
01:34
by having someone stroke her eyebrow.
23
76000
3000
就會達到性高潮
01:37
People with spinal cord injuries,
24
79000
2000
脊椎有損傷的人
01:39
like paraplegias, quadriplegias,
25
81000
2000
像是下半身痲痹或四肢癱瘓的人
01:41
will often develop a very, very sensitive area
26
83000
3000
身體會發展出一個非常敏感的區域
01:44
right above the level of their injury,
27
86000
2000
通常在受傷區域上方
01:46
wherever that is.
28
88000
2000
無論傷處為何
01:48
There is such a thing as a knee orgasm in the literature.
29
90000
3000
在文獻中也有所謂膝高潮的記錄
01:51
I think the most curious one that I came across
30
93000
4000
我覺得最有趣的則是
01:55
was a case report of a woman
31
97000
2000
一項案例報告中記錄一個
01:57
who had an orgasm every time she brushed her teeth.
32
99000
4000
只要刷牙就會高潮的女人
02:01
(Laughter)
33
103000
3000
（笑聲）
02:04
This was something in the complex
34
106000
3000
也就是某種複雜、
02:07
sensory-motor action of brushing her teeth
35
109000
4000
由刷牙的動作引發的感官刺激
02:11
was triggering orgasm.
36
113000
2000
激起了性高潮
02:13
And she went to a neurologist who was fascinated.
37
115000
3000
她看的神經科醫師，也覺得驚訝不已
02:16
He checked to see if it was something in the toothpaste,
38
118000
3000
連牙膏的成份都檢驗過了
02:19
but no -- it happened with any brand.
39
121000
3000
不過，跟牙膏無關。任何牙膏都同樣有效。
02:22
They stimulated her gums
40
124000
2000
他們還用牙籤刺激她的牙齦
02:24
with a toothpick, to see if that was doing it.
41
126000
2000
看看是否是牙齦的問題
02:26
No. It was the whole, you know, motion.
42
128000
4000
也不是，那是一整個...就是...動作
02:30
And the amazing thing to me is that
43
132000
3000
讓我感到驚訝的是
02:33
now you would think this woman would like have
44
135000
2000
大家可能覺得這個女人
02:35
excellent oral hygiene.
45
137000
2000
牙齒一定超乾淨的
02:37
(Laughter)
46
139000
4000
（笑聲）
02:41
Sadly she -- this is what it said in the journal paper --
47
143000
2000
不幸的，期刊論文上寫道
02:43
"She believed that she was possessed by demons
48
145000
3000
「她深信自己被魔鬼附身了」
02:46
and switched to mouthwash for her oral care."
49
148000
3000
「從此不敢刷牙只漱口」
02:49
It's so sad.
50
151000
2000
真的很可憐
02:51
(Laughter)
51
153000
1000
（笑聲）
02:52
I interviewed, when I was working on the book,
52
154000
3000
寫書的時候，我做了一些訪問
02:55
I interviewed a woman who can think herself to orgasm.
53
157000
4000
我訪問過一個光想的就能高潮的女人
02:59
She was part of a study at Rutgers University.
54
161000
3000
她參與了 Rutgers 大學的一項研究
03:02
You gotta love that. Rutgers.
55
164000
2000
Rutgers 真是太酷了
03:04
So I interviewed her in Oakland,
56
166000
3000
我和她的訪問就在奧克蘭
03:07
in a sushi restaurant.
57
169000
2000
在一間日式料理餐廳中進行
03:09
And I said, "So, could you do it right here?"
58
171000
3000
我問：「所以,妳在這邊也可以？」
03:12
And she said, "Yeah, but you know I'd rather finish my meal if you don't mind."
59
174000
3000
她答：「是啊，如果妳不介意的話我想先把飯吃完。」
03:15
(Laughter)
60
177000
2000
（笑聲）
03:17
But afterwards she was kind enough to demonstrate
61
179000
2000
吃完飯後,她很好心的示範給我看
03:19
on a bench outside.
62
181000
2000
在餐廳外的長椅上
03:21
It was remarkable. It took about one minute.
63
183000
2000
真是太神奇了!只花了一分鐘
03:23
And I said to her,
64
185000
3000
我跟她說
03:26
"Are you just doing this all the time?"
65
188000
3000
「妳該不會常常這樣做吧？」
03:29
(Laughter)
66
191000
1000
（笑聲）
03:30
She said, "No. Honestly when I get home I'm usually too tired."
67
192000
5000
她說：「才不，老實說我回到家時常常都累趴了。」
03:35
(Laughter)
68
197000
3000
（笑聲）
03:38
She said that the last time she had done it
69
200000
3000
她說上一次她這樣做
03:41
was on the Disneyland tram.
70
203000
2000
是在迪士尼的單軌電車上
03:43
(Laughter)
71
205000
2000
（笑聲）
03:45
The headquarters for orgasm, along the spinal nerve,
72
207000
3000
性高潮的中樞位在脊神經
03:48
is something called the sacral nerve root, which is back here.
73
210000
6000
我們稱為薦神經根的地方, 就在這裡
03:54
And if you trigger, if you stimulate with an electrode,
74
216000
3000
如果你用電極刺激
03:57
the precise spot, you will trigger an orgasm.
75
219000
4000
這個特定的區域, 就可以激發性高潮
04:01
And it is a fact that you can trigger spinal reflexes
76
223000
4000
事實證明，你也能在死人身上
04:05
in dead people --
77
227000
2000
刺激這樣的脊椎反射
04:07
a certain kind of dead person, a beating-heart cadaver.
78
229000
3000
有一種特定的死亡狀態, 軀體死亡心臟還在跳動
04:10
Now this is somebody who is brain-dead,
79
232000
2000
就是所謂的腦死
04:12
legally dead, definitely checked out,
80
234000
2000
法理上判定死亡, 確定腦死
04:14
but is being kept alive on a respirator,
81
236000
2000
但是以呼吸器維持生命
04:16
so that their organs will be oxygenated
82
238000
2000
讓器官仍有充足氧氣供給
04:18
for transplantation.
83
240000
2000
以利移植
04:20
Now in one of these brain-dead people,
84
242000
3000
如果在腦死病人身上
04:23
if you trigger the right spot,
85
245000
2000
刺激正確的區域
04:25
you will see something every now and then.
86
247000
3000
你會看到一些斷斷續續的反應
04:28
There is a reflex called the Lazarus reflex.
87
250000
2000
這種反射稱為 Lazarus 反射
04:30
And this is -- I'll demonstrate as best I can, not being dead.
88
252000
6000
這個反射...我盡量示範給大家看, 不是示範腦死
04:36
It's like this. You trigger the spot.
89
258000
2000
像這樣, 你刺激那個點
04:38
The dead guy, or gal, goes ... like that.
90
260000
5000
死掉的男人或女人就會...像這樣
04:43
Very unsettling for people working in pathology labs.
91
265000
3000
這對在病理實驗室工作的人來說是很恐怖的事
04:46
(Laughter)
92
268000
1000
（笑聲）
04:47
Now if you can trigger the Lazarus reflex in a dead person,
93
269000
5000
如果你可以刺激死去的人產生 Lazarus 反射
04:52
why not the orgasm reflex?
94
274000
3000
那性高潮的反射也可以吧?
04:55
I asked this question to a brain death expert,
95
277000
4000
我曾問過一個腦死方面的專家這個問題
04:59
Stephanie Mann, who was foolish enough to return my emails.
96
281000
3000
就是 Stephanie Mann，沒想到她竟然傻傻的回我的 e-mail
05:02
(Laughter)
97
284000
1000
（笑聲）
05:03
I said, "So, could you conceivably
98
285000
3000
我問 「那麼, 理論上」
05:06
trigger an orgasm in a dead person?"
99
288000
2000
「你可以刺激死人讓他高潮嗎？」
05:08
She said, "Yes, if the sacral nerve is being oxygenated,
100
290000
2000
她回說「是， 只要薦神經有足夠氧氣」
05:10
you conceivably could."
101
292000
4000
「理論上是可以的」
05:14
Obviously it wouldn't be as much fun for the person.
102
296000
4000
當然死人一點都爽不到
05:18
But it would be an orgasm --
103
300000
2000
不過至少「高潮」了呀
05:20
(Laughter)
104
302000
1000
（笑聲）
05:21
nonetheless.
105
303000
2000
即使如此
05:23
I actually suggested to -- there is a researcher at the University of Alabama
106
305000
3000
我還是建議....一位阿拉巴馬大學
05:26
who does orgasm research.
107
308000
2000
從事性高潮研究的研究員
05:28
I said to her, "You should do an experiment.
108
310000
2000
我告訴她：「妳該做這個實驗」
05:30
You know? You can get cadavers if you work at a university."
109
312000
3000
「妳知道嗎？妳在大學工作可以取得屍體做研究耶」
05:33
I said, "You should actually do this."
110
315000
2000
我說：「妳真的應該試看看。」
05:35
She said, "You get the human subjects review board approval for this one."
111
317000
3000
她回我：「那妳幫我向人體實驗審查委員會取得這研究的許可」
05:38
(Laughter)
112
320000
2000
（笑聲）
05:40
According to 1930s marriage manual author,
113
322000
3000
根據 1930 年代婚姻手冊的作者
05:43
Theodoor van de Velde,
114
325000
2000
Theodoor Van de Velde,
05:45
a slight seminal odor can be detected on the breath of a woman
115
327000
4000
性行為後一小時內
05:49
within about an hour after sexual intercourse.
116
331000
4000
可以從女人的口氣中聞出些微精液的味道
05:53
Theodoor van de Velde was something of a semen connoisseur.
117
335000
4000
Theodoor Van de Velde 可以說是精液的大師
05:57
(Laughter)
118
339000
2000
（笑聲）
05:59
This is a guy writing a book, "Ideal Marriage," you know.
119
341000
2000
這個人寫了一本書叫《理想的婚姻》
06:01
Very heavy hetero guy.
120
343000
3000
他是個超級異性戀
06:04
But he wrote in this book, "Ideal Marriage" --
121
346000
2000
但是他在《理想的婚姻》中卻寫
06:06
he said that he could differentiate between the semen of a young man,
122
348000
4000
他可以分辨年輕男子的精液
06:10
which he said had a fresh, exhilarating smell,
123
352000
4000
味道清新, 是令人神清氣爽的味道
06:14
and the semen of mature men,
124
356000
2000
而成熟男人的精液
06:16
whose semen smelled quote,
125
358000
2000
我引述書的內容
06:18
"Remarkably like that of the flowers of the Spanish chestnut.
126
360000
3000
「聞起來非常像是西班牙栗樹的花香」
06:21
Sometimes quite freshly floral,
127
363000
2000
「有時候是很類似清新的花香」
06:23
and then again sometimes extremely pungent."
128
365000
2000
「但是有時候卻極度辛辣刺鼻」
06:25
(Laughter)
129
367000
5000
（笑聲）（5.還能治療打嗝喔！）
06:30
Okay. In 1999, in the state of Israel,
130
372000
3000
好的，1999年在以色列
06:33
a man began hiccupping.
131
375000
2000
有個男人不停打嗝
06:35
And this was one of those cases that went on and on.
132
377000
3000
跟那些老掉牙的故事一樣
06:38
He tried everything his friends suggested.
133
380000
2000
他試過所有朋友介紹的偏方
06:40
Nothing seemed to help.
134
382000
2000
卻沒有任何幫助
06:42
Days went by. At a certain point, the man,
135
384000
3000
好幾天過去了，就在某天，
06:45
still hiccupping, had sex with his wife.
136
387000
3000
這個還在打嗝的男人跟他老婆做愛
06:48
And lo and behold, the hiccups went away.
137
390000
2000
誰知道他竟然停止打隔了!
06:50
He told his doctor, who published a case report
138
392000
4000
他告訴醫生這件事，他的醫生還因此發表了一篇報告
06:54
in a Canadian medical journal under the title,
139
396000
3000
某個加拿大醫學期刊下了這樣的標題
06:57
"Sexual Intercourse as a Potential Treatment
140
399000
2000
〈性行為─
06:59
for Intractable Hiccups."
141
401000
3000
止嗝的潛在療法〉
07:02
I love this article because at a certain point they suggested
142
404000
3000
我超愛這篇文章是因為在某個部分他們建議
07:05
that unattached hiccuppers could try masturbation.
143
407000
4000
非持續性打嗝的人可以試著自慰來止嗝
07:09
(Laughter)
144
411000
1000
（笑聲）
07:10
I love that because there is like a whole demographic: unattached hiccuppers.
145
412000
4000
我愛這文章是因為裡頭有個統計：非持續性打嗝者
07:14
(Laughter)
146
416000
2000
（笑聲）
07:16
Married, single, unattached hiccupper.
147
418000
6000
已婚、未婚的非持續性打嗝者
07:22
In the 1900s, early 1900s
148
424000
3000
在1900年代、1900年代早期
07:25
gynecologists, a lot of gynecologists believed
149
427000
2000
有很多婦科專家相信
07:27
that when a woman has an orgasm
150
429000
3000
當女人達到性高潮
07:30
the contractions serve to suck the semen up through the cervix
151
432000
5000
肌肉的收縮具有將精液往上吸進子宮頸的功能
07:35
and sort of deliver it really quickly to the egg,
152
437000
2000
這樣可以使精子快點達到卵子
07:37
thereby upping the odds of conception.
153
439000
3000
因此增加受精機率
07:40
It was called the "upsuck" theory.
154
442000
2000
被稱為「上吸」理論
07:42

（笑聲）
07:44
If you go all the way back to Hippocrates,
156
446000
5000
如果回溯到希波克拉底的時代
07:49
physicians believed that orgasm in women was not just
157
451000
3000
治療師相信女人的性高潮
07:52
helpful for conception, but necessary.
158
454000
3000
不只能幫助受孕，還是受孕的必要條件
07:55
Doctors back then were routinely telling men
159
457000
4000
那時候的醫生常常告訴男人們
07:59
the importance of pleasuring their wives.
160
461000
4000
取悅妻子的重要性

Theodore Van de Velde
08:07
(Laughter)
163
469000
1000
（笑聲）
08:08
has a line in his book.
164
470000
3000
寫了一段話
08:11
I loved this guy. I got a lot of mileage out of Theodoor van de Velde.
165
473000
4000
我太愛這個傢伙。我從他那邊學到很多東西
08:15
He had this line in his book
166
477000
2000
他在書中寫了這麼一段話
08:17
that supposedly comes from the Habsburg Monarchy,
167
479000
3000
應該是來自哈布斯堡王朝
08:20
where there was an empress Maria Theresa,
168
482000
3000
以前那裡有位女王Maria Theresa
08:23
who was having trouble conceiving.
169
485000
2000
她一直無法懷孕
08:25
And apparently the royal court physician said to her,
170
487000
3000
御醫告訴她說
08:28
"I am of the opinion
171
490000
2000
「我建議」
08:30
that the vulva of your most sacred majesty
172
492000
2000
「'女王您那神聖不可侵犯的外陰部位」
08:32
be titillated for some time prior to intercourse."
173
494000
3000
「在性交前應該要經過一些時間的挑逗」
08:35
(Laughter)
174
497000
1000
（笑聲）
08:36
It's apparently, I don't know, on the record somewhere.
175
498000
4000
應該是...我不知道...在某個文獻上有記載
08:40
Masters and Johnson: now we're moving forward to the 1950s.
176
502000
4000
時間來到1950年代，性學研究者
08:44
Masters and Johnson were upsuck skeptics,
177
506000
3000
Masters跟Johnson為「上吸」理論的懷疑論者
08:47
which is also really fun to say.
178
509000
3000
換個有趣的說法：
08:50
They didn't buy it.
179
512000
2000
他們不吃這套
08:52
And they decided, being Masters and Johnson,
180
514000
2000
而且決定，身為性學專家
08:54
that they would get to the bottom of it.
181
516000
2000
他們要追根究柢
08:56
They brought women into the lab -- I think it was five women --
182
518000
3000
他們雇了幾個女人到實驗室，我想應該有五個
08:59
and outfitted them with cervical caps
183
521000
3000
替他們裝了子宮頸帽
09:02
containing artificial semen.
184
524000
3000
內含人工精液
09:05
And in the artificial semen
185
527000
2000
在人工精液裡
09:07
was a radio-opaque substance,
186
529000
2000
加入了放射線不能透過去的物質
09:09
such that it would show up on an X-ray.
187
531000
3000
因此可以呈現在X光照片中
09:12
This is the 1950s.
188
534000
2000
當時是1950年代
09:14
Anyway these women sat in front of an X-ray device.
189
536000
4000
那些女人坐在X光裝置的前面
09:18
And they masturbated.
190
540000
2000
然後她們自慰
09:20
And Masters and Johnson looked to see if the semen was being sucked up.
191
542000
4000
Masters和Johnson觀察精液是否被吸上去
09:24
Did not find any evidence of upsuck.
192
546000
2000
並沒有發現任何「上吸」的現象
09:26
You may be wondering, "How do you make artificial semen?"
193
548000
4000
你可能會想，人工精液怎麼做啊?
09:30
(Laughter)
194
552000
5000
（笑聲）
09:35
I have an answer for you. I have two answers.
195
557000
2000
我準備了兩個答案
09:37
You can use flour and water, or cornstarch and water.
196
559000
3000
你可以用麵粉和水，或是玉米粉和水
09:40
I actually found three separate recipes in the literature.
197
562000
4000
我還真的在文獻中找到三種不同的「食譜」
09:44
(Laughter)
198
566000
1000
（笑聲）
09:45
My favorite being the one that says --
199
567000
2000
我最喜歡的一個上面寫了
09:47
you know, they have the ingredients listed,
200
569000
2000
你知道，食譜都會列出食材
09:49
and then in a recipe it will say, for example,
201
571000
2000
而且食譜中通常會寫，舉例來說
09:51
"Yield: two dozen cupcakes."
202
573000
2000
「分量：24個小蛋糕」
09:53
This one said, "Yield: one ejaculate."
203
575000
3000
這個是寫：「分量：一次射精量」
09:56
(Laughter)
204
578000
3000
（笑聲）
09:59
There's another way that orgasm might boost fertility.
205
581000
2000
還有一個利用性高潮增加受精機率的方法
10:01
This one involves men.
206
583000
2000
這個方法牽涉到男人
10:03
Sperm that sit around in the body for a week or more
207
585000
2000
精子停留在身體裡超過一個星期後
10:05
start to develop abnormalities
208
587000
3000
會開始產生異常
10:08
that make them less effective at head-banging their way
209
590000
2000
這讓它們一路直衝到卵子
10:10
into the egg.
210
592000
2000
的效率降低
10:12
British sexologist Roy Levin
211
594000
2000
英國的性學家Roy Levin
10:14
has speculated that this is perhaps why men
212
596000
2000
猜測這可能是為什麼男人們
10:16
evolved to be such enthusiastic and frequent masturbators.
213
598000
4000
演化成對於自慰如此熱衷且頻繁
10:20
He said, "If I keep tossing myself off
214
602000
2000
他說：「如果我經常清理精液」
10:22
I get fresh sperm being made."
215
604000
2000
「那我的身體就會製作更多新鮮的精子」
10:24
Which I thought was an interesting idea, theory.
216
606000
4000
我覺得這是個很有趣的想法、理論
10:28
So now you have an evolutionary excuse.
217
610000
2000
所以你現在自慰可以拿演化當藉口了
10:30
(Laughter)
218
612000
4000
（笑聲）
10:34
Okay.
219
616000
3000
很好
10:37
(Laughter)
220
619000
2000
（笑聲）（7.豬農也受惠）
10:39
Alrighty. There is considerable evidence for upsuck in the animal kingdom --
221
621000
5000
好了，在動物界卻有相當多的證據證明上吸理論
10:44
pigs, for instance.
222
626000
2000
例如，豬
10:46
In Denmark, the Danish National Committee for Pig Production
223
628000
4000
在丹麥的豬隻生產國家委員會
10:50
found out that if you
224
632000
2000
發現如果
10:52
sexually stimulate a sow while you artificially inseminate her,
225
634000
4000
愛撫母豬的同時進行人工授精
10:56
you will see a six-percent increase in the farrowing rate,
226
638000
3000
每胎產下的小豬數量
10:59
which is the number of piglets produced.
227
641000
3000
會增加百分之六
11:02
So they came up with this plan, this five-point stimulation plan
228
644000
3000
所以他們想出了這個，對母豬進行
11:05
for the sows.
229
647000
2000
「五點刺激步驟」的方法
11:07
And they had the farmers -- there is posters they put in the barn,
230
649000
3000
而且讓農夫們...在農場裡貼了一些海報
11:10
and they have a DVD.
231
652000
2000
他們還有DVD
11:12
And I got a copy of this DVD.
232
654000
2000
我這邊有拷貝一份
11:14
(Laughter)
233
656000
1000
（笑聲）
11:15
This is my unveiling, because I am going to show you a clip.
234
657000
4000
我要在現場播放片段，將影片公諸於世
11:19
(Laughter)
235
661000
2000
（笑聲）
11:21
So uh, okay.
236
663000
2000
所以，好
11:23
Now here we go in to the -- la la la, off to work.
237
665000
3000
現在我們看到的是...啦啦啦，重點來了
11:26
It all looks very innocent.
238
668000
3000
現在看起來一點也不淫穢
11:29
He's going to be doing things with his hands
239
671000
2000
接下來他要用他的手做一些事
11:31
that the boar would use his snout, lacking hands. Okay.
240
673000
4000
就像豬公會用他的鼻子做的，因為沒有手，好
11:35
(Laughter)
241
677000
3000
（笑聲）
11:38
This is it. The boar has a very odd courtship repertoire.
242
680000
5000
就像這樣，豬公的前戲非常奇怪
11:43
(Laughter)
243
685000
4000
（笑聲）
11:47
This is to mimic the weight of the boar.
244
689000
2000
這是要模擬豬公的體重
11:49
(Laughter)
245
691000
3000
（笑聲）
11:52
You should know, the clitoris of the pig, inside the vagina.
246
694000
3000
你們要知道，豬的陰蒂是在陰道裡面
11:55
So this may be sort of titillating for her. Here we go.
247
697000
3000
所以這是在激起母豬的性慾，開始了
11:58
(Laughter)
248
700000
22000
（笑聲）
12:20
And the happy result.
249
722000
2000
這是愛的結晶
12:22
(Applause)
250
724000
2000
（掌聲）
12:24
I love this video.
251
726000
2000
我真是超愛這段影片
12:26
There is a point in this video, towards the beginning
252
728000
2000
影片的某個部分，靠近開頭的地方
12:28
where they zoom in for a close up of his hand with his wedding ring,
253
730000
2000
鏡頭拉近照到他手上的結婚戒指
12:30
as if to say, "It's okay, it's just his job. He really does like women."
254
732000
5000
好像是在說「沒關係啦!這只是工作而已，他真的愛女人」
12:35
(Laughter)
255
737000
4000
（笑聲）（8.雌性動物比你想像的還享受性交過程）
12:39
Okay. Now I said -- when I was in Denmark, my host was named Anne Marie.
256
741000
3000
好的，當我在丹麥的時候，招待我的人名叫Anne Marie
12:42
And I said, "So why don't you just stimulate the clitoris of the pig?
257
744000
6000
我說「為什麼不就刺激豬的陰蒂就好？」
12:48
Why don't you have the farmers do that?
258
750000
2000
「為什麼不讓農夫這樣做？」
12:50
That's not one of your five steps."
259
752000
2000
「這不是五個步驟之一」
12:52
She said -- I have to read you what she said, because I love it.
260
754000
2000
我非得唸出她的回答，因為我太愛這句話了
12:54
She said, "It was a big hurdle
261
756000
2000
她說：「要讓農夫們伸手進母豬的陰部」
12:56
just to get farmers to touch underneath the vulva.
262
758000
3000
「對他們來說是很大的障礙」
12:59
So we thought, let's not mention the clitoris right now."
263
761000
3000
「所以我想，還是不要提到陰蒂的事好了」
13:02
(Laughter)
264
764000
5000
（笑聲）
13:07
Shy but ambitious pig farmers, however, can purchase a -- this is true --
265
769000
3000
很害羞又想成功的豬農們還是可以買個...我說真的...
13:10
a sow vibrator,
266
772000
2000
一支母豬按摩棒
13:12
that hangs on the sperm feeder tube to vibrate.
267
774000
2000
附精子注入器又會震動
13:14
Because, as I mentioned,
268
776000
3000
因為就像我說的
13:17
the clitoris is inside the vagina.
269
779000
2000
豬的陰蒂位在陰道裡面
13:19
So possibly, you know, a little more arousing than it looks.
270
781000
3000
所以你知道的，這可能比看起來還挑逗點
13:22
And I also said to her,
271
784000
2000
接著我說
13:24
"Now these sows. I mean, you may have noticed there,
272
786000
2000
「你看這些母豬，你應該也注意到了」
13:26
The sow doesn't look to be in the throes of ecstasy."
273
788000
3000
「母豬看起來並不享受這種痛苦的快感」
13:29
And she said, you can't make that conclusion,
274
791000
2000
然後她回答「你怎麼知道？」
13:31
because animals don't register
275
793000
3000
「因為動物沒有表情」
13:34
pain or pleasure on their faces in the same way that we do.
276
796000
2000
「不能像我們一樣將痛苦和愉悅表現在臉上」
13:36
They tend to -- pigs, for example, are more like dogs.
277
798000
4000
以豬為例，牠們比較像狗
13:40
They use the upper half of the face; the ears are very expressive.
278
802000
3000
用臉的上半部表達情緒，牠們耳朵的表情很豐富
13:43
So you're not really sure what's going on with the pig.
279
805000
3000
所以你很難了解這隻豬發生了什麼事
13:46
Primates, on the other hand, we use our mouths more.
280
808000
4000
靈長類則相反，我們比較常用到嘴巴
13:50
This is the ejaculation face of the stump-tailed macaque.
281
812000
4000
這是短尾恆河猴射精時的表情
13:54
(Laughter)
282
816000
2000
（笑聲）
13:56
And, interestingly, this has been observed in female macaques,
283
818000
4000
而且很有趣的，母的恆河猴也有這種表情
14:00
but only when mounting another female.
284
822000
4000
但是只有在跟另外一隻母猴交配的時候才會看到
14:04
(Laughter)
285
826000
3000
（笑聲）（9.在實驗室裡研究人的性高潮是一件很困難的事）
14:07
Masters and Johnson, in the 1950s, they decided,
286
829000
2000
1950年代時，Masters和Johnson決定
14:09
okay, we're going to figure out the entire human sexual response cycle,
287
831000
5000
好，我們要搞清楚人類性反應的完整過程
14:14
from arousal, all the way through orgasm, in men and women --
288
836000
3000
研究男人和女人，從性慾的激起，一直到性高潮
14:17
everything that happens in the human body.
289
839000
2000
人體發生的所有反應
14:19
Okay, with women, a lot of this is happening inside.
290
841000
3000
好，對女人來說，很多反應都是發生在體內的
14:22
This did not stop Masters and Johnson.
291
844000
2000
但是Masters和Johnson並未因此停止研究
14:24
They developed an artificial coition machine.
292
846000
5000
他們研發出一個人工性交機器
14:29
This is basically a penis camera on a motor.
293
851000
3000
基本上是裝了馬達的陰莖攝影機
14:32
There is a phallus,
294
854000
2000
其實是一個陰莖
14:34
clear acrylic phallus, with a camera and a light source,
295
856000
3000
透明壓克力做的陰莖，裝了攝影機和光源
14:37
attached to a motor that is kind of going like this.
296
859000
3000
裝在一個這樣運動的馬達上
14:40
And the woman would have sex with it.
297
862000
3000
然後女人就跟機器做愛
14:43
That is what they would do. Pretty amazing.
298
865000
2000
這是他們想做的，很驚人吧!
14:45
Sadly, this device has been dismantled.
299
867000
2000
很可惜，這個裝置已經被拆除了
14:47
This just kills me, not because I wanted to use it --
300
869000
2000
我覺得好可惜，並不是因為我想試用
14:49
I wanted to see it.
301
871000
3000
是因為我想看它一眼
14:52
(Laughter)

Alfred Kinsey decided
304
880000
3000
金賽博士決定
15:01
to calculate the average distance traveled by ejaculated semen.
305
883000
5000
要測量精液射出的平均距離
15:06
This was not idle curiosity.
306
888000
2000
這可不是出於無聊的好奇心
15:08
Doctor Kinsey had heard --
307
890000
4000
金賽博士曾聽說...
15:12
and there was a theory kind of going around at the time, this being the 1940s --
308
894000
3000
1940年代，當時流傳著一個理論
15:15
that the force with which
309
897000
2000
精液射入子宮頸
15:17
semen is thrown against the cervix
310
899000

Kinsey thought it was bunk, so he got to work.
312
904000
3000
金賽覺得根本是無稽之談，所以他要驗證
15:25
He got together in his lab
313
907000
3000
他在實驗室募集到
15:28
300 men, a measuring tape, and a movie camera.
314
910000
5000
300個男人、一個量尺和一部攝影機
15:33
(Laughter)
315
915000

（笑聲）
15:35
And in fact he found
316
917000
2000
而且事實上他發現
15:37
that in three quarters of the men
317
919000
3000
有三分之一的男人
15:40
the stuff just kind of slopped out.
318
922000
2000
那液體就只是溢出來
15:42
It wasn't spurted or thrown or ejected under great force.
319

並非有股力量把精液噴出來或射出來
15:46
However, the record holder
320
928000
4000
但是，紀錄保持者
15:50
landed just shy of the eight-foot mark, which is impressive.
321
932000
2000
大約射了八英呎遠，真是驚人
15:52
(Laughter)

939000
1000
（笑聲）
15:58
Sadly, he's anonymous. His name is not mentioned.
326
940000
3000
很可惜，他是匿名的，沒提到他的名字
16:01
In his write-up,
327
943000
4000
在金賽博士的筆記中
16:05
in his write-up of this experiment in his book,
328
947000
2000
在他書中這個實驗的筆記
16:07
Kinsey wrote,
329
949000
3000
金賽寫了
16:10
"Two sheets were laid down to protect the oriental carpets."
330
952000
4000
「我得鋪兩條床單來保護地毯」
16:14
(Laughter)
331
956000
2000
（笑聲）
16:16
Which is my second favorite line
332
958000
2000
在金賽博士的畢生作品中
16:18
in the entire oeuvre of Alfred Kinsey.
333
960000
2000
這是我第二喜歡的句子
16:20
My favorite being, "Cheese crumbs spread before a pair of copulating rats
334
962000
4000
我最喜歡的是「在一對正在交配的老鼠前灑一些起司屑」
16:24
will distract the female, but not the male."
335
966000
3000
「只有母的老鼠會分心，公的不會」

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mary Roach - WriterDeath, the afterlife, and now sex -- Mary Roach tackles the most pondered and least understood conundrums that have baffled humans for centuries. (She's funny, too.)
Why you should listen
Freelance writer and humorist turned accidental science journalist Mary Roach likes to ask the questions we all wonder about but are usually too polite to mention. What happens after we die, anyway? How fast do cadavers rot? Can a corpse have an orgasm?
Writing the Health & Body column for Salon.com quickened her interest in the dead -- that, and looking at the hit count for her columns on cadavers. Her books Stiff and Spook sprung out of research done for a proposed Salon column called the Dead Beat (sadly, it was killed). Her most recent book, Bonk, is a romp through the current landscape of gynecology, sex research and the adult novelty industry.
In addition to her dry (and sometimes silly) wit, Roach has a penchant for funny voices, faking her way through interviews with expert scientists, and wheedling her way into strange locales, among them a dildo factory and under the business end of an ultrasound wand during coitus.
