Chapter 6 6. The First Revolution

The transformation of reproduction into sex is an important turning point from apes to humans.Its significance is no less than any revolution in human history. It was Eve who led and started this revolution. The reason is simple: the reason why animals have no sex is entirely because females have no mating needs other than reproduction.It is not difficult to imagine that if they also have "sexual desires that have nothing to do with reproduction", there will be brothels in nature, but the sex workers will be male. Obviously, we cannot expect Adam to revolutionize, nor can he.From reproduction to sexuality, it can only be women who have really changed; it can only be them who play a decisive and key role.Therefore, it must be Eve that the serpent will and can seduce.Eve accepted the temptation of the snake, which means that she thinks men are good.In other words, women already have "sexual interest".

When women are liberated, human beings are also liberated. In fact, if women don't have sexual pleasure, they won't say OK to men's demands when they don't have reproductive needs.Likewise, copulation becomes lovemaking only when the woman experiences orgasm, or at least sexual pleasure, and has sexual desire and desire.At this time, the pleasure a man experiences is completely different from the day when he was a male animal. The first result brought about by this is that human beings are full of interest in sex life and enjoy it.The second result is that a woman is only willing to have sex with a certain man for a period of time, and vice versa.This is relatively easy for women, but more difficult for men.So God had to take action himself, making the snake in the Garden of Eden lose its wings.The cultural directive is clear: don't play tricks!

But it can't be foolishly boiled down to "eternal love." Love is never eternal, and it is difficult to be eternal, and it has no necessary connection with marriage.In fact, men and women in the primitive era restrained themselves in this way. At first, it may be a love between two people, and later it was a marriage under the name of love.There are undoubtedly practical and utilitarian considerations in this.One straightforward reason is the social division of labor: men must hunt, women must look after the house.The result is that a woman cannot let a man go out looking for flowers and willows, while herself and her children are starving and waiting for food; a man cannot tolerate the fact that she has gone through hardships to bring back the booty, but sees "her and him" at home.

The so-called "dual relationship" is thus formed. The corresponding physiological change is that a woman can accept and satisfy a man's courtship even if she is pregnant or even during menstruation.Because it is obviously unrealistic for men to be sexually hungry for a long time.Therefore, women must make adjustments to their bodies to prevent love or marriage from collapsing; and when women can adjust in this way, humans are already a thousand miles away from animals. At this time, the Garden of Eden was turned upside down. First reproduction becomes sex, then sex becomes love.Then, love alienated into marriage, marriage gave birth to family, family formed clan, clan became tribe and tribal alliance, and finally gave birth to nation.Our original group of apes also unconsciously became a society.

All this is because of women.First Eve, then Nüwa. Eve is Nuwa in girlhood, and Nuwa is Eve in mature stage.When Eve became Nuwa, it was the transition from the age of savagery to the age of barbarism.This new age began with the art of pottery, just as the era of savagery was marked by the eating of fish and the use of fire.With fire, the night is no longer long.With pottery, culture can leave its footprints.Therefore, we will soon see Nuwa's smile on those ancient pottery. The owl on the night shift can rest. In the sky of dawn, the dawn is just beginning to appear, the morning star is still there, and the moonlight is hazy.After retiring, Eve watched Nuwa go away, and witnessed that she, as the great goddess of the Chinese nation, was born out of nowhere, and she was a blockbuster, standing radiantly on the high slope of the loess where the wind was surging.
