The first time I read about Kinsey was when I was in college. At that time, I had doubts about the sex education significance of adult films. I felt that it was necessary to look for a serious book, so I bought a Kinsey Sexology Report from the special bookstore. It scared me on the spot. To a certain extent, that book ruined my sexual fantasies—because since then, in addition to young girls, there have been images of old men and old ladies running around in my head. At that time, because I didn't have a major, I read books indiscriminately, and felt that Freud and Kinsey had created two camps of sexual discourse. The former is of the humanistic school, with the temperament of witchcraft, and as for its "theory", there is a letter, and it has an aphrodisiac effect. The latter is the school of science, emphasizing empirical evidence, and its methods, data and conclusions transcend individual life and are serious things. Today, the hurricane spirit and shock effect of the pioneering period have long since disappeared, and both of these traditions of personality research have become so spectacular that everyone has stopped reading the original work and the commentary. But, sooner or later, you will be insane if you stick to the Freudian tradition, and it will be a dull life if you stick to the Kinsey tradition. Fortunately, academics are not the only way of life.
By the way, I recently flipped through some Chinese sex studies while I was going to the toilet, and felt that the style was a problem. Kinsey turned it into a research, while some professors in Shanghai and Beijing made it a research. Li Yinhe's is relatively better, at least written with sincerity, but even Wang Xiaobo and her "Their World" always feel that they owe something. I also want to write an article about sex to face up, but I'm afraid others will look at me suspiciously.
