关键概述-性健康的含义

什么是性健康？

举例：妇女的性健康-男性的恐惧

秉持性满足的妇女通常被人认为是“女色情狂”(nymphomaniacs，在中国俗称为“花痴”——译者注)，她们曾被迫接受为抑制性欲而专设的医学治疗，甚或被送到了精神病院。另一方面，妇女的性快乐潜能，这种在同一时代不被承认和被畏惧的客观现象，曾使男人们极度地恐慌。直到完全跨入了20世纪早期，这种状况在许多文学、艺术和歌剧作品中都直白地表露无遗。斯特林堡(Strindberg)、魏宁葛(Weininger), 魏德金(Wedekind)和亨利希·曼(Heinrich Mann)的剧本、专题文章和小说证实了男人们无法抵御的这种恐惧。他们描述道：“荡妇们(vamps)” ，也就是说那些像贪得无厌的吸血鬼样的女人，吸干了男人们的精华，糟蹋和摧毁了男人们的身体。不仅由奥斯卡•王尔德(Oscar Wilde)编写的剧本《莎乐美》(莎乐美-Salome为新约中希罗底之女、希罗安提帕之侄女，她狂爱着施洗者圣约翰并以舞蹈向安提帕换来施洗者圣约翰的头颅，并与游离的头颅亲吻；施洗者圣约翰为犹太先知，在《新约》中为创业耶稣施洗礼并排除障碍，但拒绝了莎乐美的爱而遭到灭顶之灾。——译者注)，由理查德•斯特劳斯(Richard Strauss)谱曲的歌剧，由魏德金(Wedekind)和亨利希·曼(Alban Berg)的戏剧中刻画的露露(Lulu)这样的女人，而且马琳·黛德丽(Marlene Dietrich)在电影“蓝色天使(The Blue Angel)”中塑造的“洛拉(Lola)” 都体现了这种男人们的梦魇。然而，在官方的语言中，女性的性健康融汇于“端庄”之中，也就是说，所谓的“端庄”就是没有性欲。现今，人们依然认为女性有与上述完全相同的情形——坚持性满足时则需要治疗。

Critical Introduction - The Meaning of Sexual Health

What is Sexual Health?

Example: The sexual health of women - Male fears

Women who insisted on their sexual satisfaction were often considered "nymphomaniacs", subjected to medical treatments designed to dampen their desires or were even committed to insane asylums. On the other hand, the sexual pleasure potential of women - denied and feared at the same time -  caused a great deal of anxiety among men. This became evident in many literary, artistic and musical works until well into the early 20th century. Plays, treatises, and novels by Strindberg, Weininger, Wedekind and Heinrich Mann testified to this overwhelming male fear. They described "vamps", i.e. women who, like insatiable vampires, sucked the life blood out of men, ruined and destroyed them. Women like Salome in the play by Oscar Wilde and the opera by Richard Strauss, Lulu in the play by Wedekind and Alban Berg's opera, but also Marlene Dietrich's "Lola" in "The Blue Angel" embody this male nightmare. Officially, however, female sexual health consisted in "modesty" , i.e. lack of sexual desire - the very same condition that today is believed to require treatment.
