It was a weekend afternoon. I accompanied my friend Fu Yong to the county hospital. There is a picture hanging at the door of the hospital; The banner of the family planning tour exhibition is particularly eye-catching. At that time, when we were young, things about sex, men and women, fertility and so on would make us middle school students restless. Fu Yong and I unconsciously walked towards the exhibition.
But there was a block at the entrance of the exhibition hall; A sign prohibiting minors from entering.; What do you pretend to be mysterious! We waited for the opportunity outside the door. After a while, while the security guard was away, the two of us slipped in. The theme of the first part of the exhibition area is; Where do I come from. With curiosity, I saw the enlarged model of male and female genitalia for the first time and knew the internal structure of my own sex organ for the first time.
I was also attracted by a sketch next to it, which was a copy of the manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance master of art, drawing an anatomical picture of a man's side, suggesting the scene of sexual intercourse; The painter indicated that the ejaculated semen from the penis was from the spine; Originating. There is a large paragraph next to it, to the effect that this manuscript of Leonardo da Vinci reflects the tortuous process of human understanding of the physiology of their own sexual organs. The unscientific part of the painter's description is that the semen is not from the spine, but from the testicles and prostate, and the composition is mostly water. Although there were anatomical errors in the sketch, I was deeply impressed by what the artist said about the characteristics of male organs, he said:; Often a man falls asleep, but he wakes up. Many times, when the man is awake, he sleeps again.
Many times, men want to use it, but they don't. Many times, it thinks, but the man stops it. This anthropomorphic language was very interesting to me at that time, but I didn't understand it very well. As I grew older, I realized its meaning when I occasionally had a sudden erection in some public places and was extremely embarrassed. Da Vinci's description, in addition to being interesting, reflects more; The phenomenon of erection is sometimes not a fact that human consciousness can completely control. It reminds us that as a man, we need more self-restraint, self-respect and self-control.
The theme of the main exhibition area is; Means and methods of family planning. There are pictures and introductions of various contraceptives. I paid special attention to the comic strips of the sterilization process of men and women. What is interesting is the vasectomy of the man. The picture depicts the process vividly, and the commentary is very appropriate, with a sense of humor. The whole content emphasizes that ligation does not affect sexual intercourse, and makes a comparison between male and female ligation, and concludes that male ligation is better than female ligation. In fact, I also heard adults talk about male ligation at first, but the impression of it in my mind is always muddled and vague, because at that time, I can only associate with the historical figures Sima Qian, Gong Xing, eunuch and so on, and then the situation of the vet gelding pigs seen at my grandmother's house in the summer vacation. So listen in the past; When you tie the two words, you always feel barbaric, cruel and terrible. When I carefully read the anatomy and explanation of the internal organs, I finally realized that this kind of ligation for men would not cut off the penis like the ancient people's palace punishment and body purification, nor take off the testicles like the castration of livestock. It was just a small operation on the vas deferens to prevent sperm from passing through and discharging.
The last part of the exhibition is; Eugenics. In addition to some illustrative pictures, the most attractive ones are the glass bottles containing various specimens. Among them, there is a large, wide-mouthed bottle with a large string of pale red meat grains, which is; A specimen of hydatidiform mole. There are also a few alcohol bottles containing some strange fetuses: some are stunted, distorted, some are missing arms and legs, some are facial features dislocation, ugly, and so on. Due to the deterioration of the ecological environment, inbreeding and heredity, those supposed to be beautiful lives have become such freaks. I feel a little chilly, can't bear to look again, and leave in a hurry.
Time flies. It was more than ten years ago to peek at the family planning exhibition. Recently, at a classmate party, Fu Yong and I met again after a long separation and had a lot of fun. Fu Yong said that when he was going to find a mate a few years ago, a cousin of the second aunt's family was interested in him. But when he thought of the family planning exhibition we saw together, especially the freaks in the bottle, he declined her kindness. He smiled:; If I hadn't seen the exhibition, my cousin and I would have become a couple. How terrible it would be to have a monster and not be laughed to death by you! Some people disagree:; If you don't watch the exhibition, you will know from other channels that marriage is harmful. I joked:; But by that time, his relationship with his cousin will be hard to part with! Everyone laughed heartily.
In the process of growing up, getting married and having children, I always try to deal with and solve the problems of marriage, parenting and sex. Especially in that year, when my wife failed to use contraception several times, I took the initiative to have a ligation operation and solved my problems once and for all. Even his wife was surprised at this. She smiled:; Usually so timid. How dare you take that knife generously? I know from my heart that I can have such an open understanding of ligation surgery, such a clear understanding and sound psychological preparation, which has nothing to do with watching the family planning exhibition as early as my childhood and the knowledge foundation that I have laid. Since then, I have not only understood ligation and purification, and; The difference between gelding and so on,; The reason why women are not as good as men is that they understand the responsibilities of men in birth control.
From my personal experience over the years, it is a good way to popularize sex knowledge and carry out sex education to hold a family planning exhibition that is rigorous, scientific and not lacking in modern art aesthetic sense. Especially the growing teenagers are more likely to form a positive and healthy sexual psychology and get rid of it by visiting exhibitions and initiating thinking; Sex is the perverse influence of not being elegant, and you can find your own happiness bit by bit on the long road of life.
