MrBootstrap (这是最好的时代)
Then suddenly, with the skeleton in an obscene heap on the desktop, she turned away and began telling us how we had to be careful who we had sex with. Not just because of the diseases, but because, she said, "sex affects emotions in ways you'd never expect." We had to be extremely careful about having sex in the outside world, especially with people who weren't students, because out there sex means all sort of things. Out there people were even fighting and killing each other over who had sex with whom. And the reason it meant so much - so much more than, say, dancing or table-tennis - was because the people out there were different from us students: they could have babies from sex. That was why it was so important to them, this question of who did it with whom. And even though, as we knew, it is completely impossible for any of us to have babies, out there, we have to bahave like them. We had to respect the rules and treat sex as something pretty special.引自 CHAPTER SEVEN
Miss Emily的说法,虽然没有什么联系,但读这段的时候我经常想到这几天的“恐同”现象。很多时候很多人都说同性恋恶心什么的,我是真的不能理解,读了这段以后觉得可能正式因为同性恋爱这种impossibility to have babies (biologically) 让很多人觉得自己坚守的rules被打乱了。突然sex就像dancing或者table-tennis一样随意,大家只是为了pleasure行事,这的确是对rules的巨大挑战。
