As a sex researcher, I've been thinking about how much the World Cup players have been thinking about having sex – even if they aren't supposed to be participating in sexual activity. The team-by-team rules governing players' sexual behavior during competition this year are varied, and the "evidence" that those rules matter is weak. But the round of 16 is nearly complete, and while no managers have sanctioned sex on the field, it would seem those countries that allow scoring off the field ... are still advancing in the tournament: Costa Rica won again – after its players were allowed to have sex upon reaching the second round. France (whose players can have sex, just not all night) just beat Nigeria (wife OK; girlfriend, not OK). Brazil (no acrobatics, please) pulled out that miracle win over Chile (no sex allowed). Germany (unlimited sex except the night before) had a big comeback victory over Algeria (sex rules unknown). So, Team USA and England were allowed to go for unrestricted sexual goals, and we know those teams are going in opposite directions. But all the teams with public anti-sex policies at the World Cup have been knocked out. Much of whatever coaches think they know about the relationship between sexual release and athletic performance, however, is myth. What little actual scientific research has been done suggests that sexual activity the night before a game may be helpful if it results in relaxation and a good night's sleep, but there has been far too little research. Indeed, there is no evidence whatsoever that being in a sexually deprived state will help athletic performance. Ultimately, it matters little whether players can engage in sex during the World Cup – or hook up all over the Olympic village – but the motley mixture of rules provides a microcosm of what can happen in the absence of solid data. When myths and stereotypes are more influential than research findings, misconceptions get perpetuated. A man who believes he is supposed to be thinking about sex constantly might feel there is something wrong with him if he doesn't. An athlete who believes his team will lose if he engages in sexual activity could become a victim of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why not attempt to address these everyday (and night) issues by funding and supporting more and better empirical research on sexuality? It would be a big score – not just for athletes and sex research but an important goal for anyone who believes that sex is a healthy part of life. And there would certainly be no shortage of volunteers to participate in the research. |
據(jù)英國(guó)《衛(wèi)報(bào)》報(bào)道,即使世界杯期間球員不該進(jìn)行任何性行為,作為一個(gè)性學(xué)研究者,我還是一直在想球員們?cè)谶@期間有多少性幻想。 今年世界杯期間,球隊(duì)對(duì)于束縛球員性行為的規(guī)定各有特色,基本沒有證據(jù)顯示那些規(guī)定起到了作用,如今16進(jìn)8基本已經(jīng)結(jié)束,禁止性行為的球隊(duì)全部出局,而那些允許在場(chǎng)下“射門”的球隊(duì)反而昂首挺進(jìn)8強(qiáng)。 · 哥斯達(dá)黎加再奪勝利,在球隊(duì)接近進(jìn)入第二輪后球員獲準(zhǔn)可以有性生活。 · 法國(guó)(允許球員有性行為,只要不是整夜)剛擊敗了尼日利亞 (對(duì)象只能是妻子不能是女友) · 巴西(不允許用高難度雜耍動(dòng)作)奇跡般擊敗智利(不允許性行為) · 德國(guó)(性愛自由,只要不是比賽前夜)卷土重來(lái)?yè)魯“柤袄麃啠ㄒ?guī)定未知) 美國(guó)和英格蘭在床上“進(jìn)球”方面全無(wú)限制,但兩隊(duì)的結(jié)局卻和勝利截然相反。目前所有公開禁止性行為的球隊(duì)都已被淘汰,不管那些教練以為他們對(duì)于性放松和競(jìng)技狀態(tài)的關(guān)系了解多深入,這些看法都沒經(jīng)過(guò)證實(shí)。真正對(duì)于比賽前夜進(jìn)行性行為是否有助于放松和獲得好的睡眠的科學(xué)研究做的很少,實(shí)在是太少了。當(dāng)然,也沒有證據(jù)證明完全被剝奪性生活是有助于球員的競(jìng)技表現(xiàn)的。 總之,無(wú)論是球員在世界杯期間做愛做的事,還是運(yùn)動(dòng)員約遍整個(gè)奧運(yùn)村,其實(shí)都無(wú)關(guān)緊要。但是各種各樣,魚龍混雜的規(guī)定給我們提供了一個(gè)縮影,讓我們看到缺乏堅(jiān)實(shí)的數(shù)據(jù)支持會(huì)發(fā)生什么。謠言和固定的成見比研究發(fā)現(xiàn)更有影響力,到處都是錯(cuò)誤的觀念。一個(gè)男人如果沒有頻繁的性幻想,又認(rèn)為男人應(yīng)該如此的話,他可能會(huì)覺得自己有問(wèn)題。一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員如果相信自己比賽前的性行為會(huì)導(dǎo)致隊(duì)伍失利的話,他可能會(huì)變成自我實(shí)現(xiàn)失敗的受害者。 為何不通過(guò)資助更多的性學(xué)實(shí)驗(yàn)研究來(lái)解決這一日常問(wèn)題呢?這將是一個(gè)完美的進(jìn)球得分,不僅對(duì)運(yùn)動(dòng)員和性學(xué)研究,對(duì)相信性是健康生活一部分的人也是如此。而且這方面的研究,絕對(duì)是不缺少志愿者參與的。 (譯者 阿呆愛小純 編輯 齊磊) 掃一掃,關(guān)注微博微信
