生育率低迷，全年不到八百萬新生嬰兒，解救之道是否把「性市場」稍稍放開？ 說的不是不合法的性交易經濟，而是社會對廣義「性商」即成年人性知識性用品相關產業及其討論的更大容許。有此背景的話，可能就能解釋最近「女性魅力教學」或「中國性商教母」火爆又暫不被壓制的原因了。 這性商風潮中，有一招叫「X型回眸」被網友甚至明星爭相仿效戲謔。鏡頭前，教母講師示範當被人叫住時，頭部要轉向45度、眼神斜給、身體則不要動，強調「動作愈少愈高級」的角度最美。教天下女子，這是魅力公式，並包裝成課程。由綫上9.9元試聽價，999元教學套餐，熱賣六千份。到綫下全國巡迴三天課程4,980元，市場不小，是門幾千萬元級別的生意。 可想而知，爭議也不會少。一句「來上這個課的只有絕望原配和失寵小三」，似乎殘酷地點出了部分現實：在親密關係中缺乏安全感的女性，長期被教導要通過「更有魅力」來解決結構性問題。有批評者認為，這是對女性焦慮的商業收割；而支持者則反駁，至少有人第一次被允許正視自己的慾望與身體，並且更有系統地以教學的方式，手把手把「學問」傳授。所謂「性商」，除了指商業經濟圈，其實還可以指是像IQ或EQ那種，是一種對應社會的有關於「性知識和性寬容度的指數」。某人性商愈高，意味其對此題目的知識和接受討論度的指數更高。開明的社會都該有較高的「性商」。 不同聲音對立，並不奇怪，因性話題從來就引人好奇。而這當中另一個事實是，社會中情感與性教育長期缺位和沒充足系統性討論，才讓這些課程擁有了生存土壤。還要加上另一觀察，是近年社會上好像對性和生育都有欠積極，見諸性用品銷量下滑。 Source link
