性器官-定義
The Sex Organs - Definition |
|
使用不當術語 |
|
在許多醫學和專業教科書裏，性器官被稱為生殖器（拉丁語
genitalia：產生的器官）或“生殖器官”。這些片面的術語可以導致誤解，因為這樣的稱呼帶有意識形態色彩和未如實地告訴人們事實的真相：這樣的術語在掩蓋了性器官的愉悅和性愛功能的情況下，強調了它們可能存在的生養孩子功能和有生殖力的功能。其實，這些被稱做生殖的器官在大多數的時間裏根本不是用來生殖的，而是專門用於性愉悅功能的器官。有關這一點，在孩子們那裏已經再明白不過了，在他們能生育之前，他們可以體驗許多年的性高潮。這對自我愉悅的青少年、絕經後的婦女和使用避孕手段的夫婦同樣是很明白的一個事理。

Inappropriate terms |
|
In many medical and professional textbooks the sex organs are called genitals (lat. genitalia: organs of generation) or "reproductive organs." These one-sided terms can lead to misunderstandings, because they are ideological and misrepresent the facts: They emphasize the possible childproducing, procreative function of the sex organs at the expense of their pleasure-giving, erotic function. Indeed, most of the time the so-called reproductive organs are not used for the purpose of reproduction at all, but function exclusively as organs of sexual pleasure. This is already obvious to children who may experience orgasms many years before they can reproduce. It is also obvious to self-pleasuring adolescents, to women after the menopause, and to any couple using contraception.
