Challenging everything from the mandates of the Catholic Church to the hotly debated ethics of pornography, and from the controversy surrounding gay rights to issues of gender and feminism, With Pleasure explores a new theory of human sexuality that ignites every hot topic in the public domain. What role, authors Paul Abramson and Steven Pinkerton ask, does sexual pleasure play in our lives? Is the pursuit of sexual enjoyment in our blood? Our brains? Our very nature? Regardless of the source, it can be agreed that the joys of sex are widely appreciated. Why, then, is pleasure so often overlooked in discussions of sexual behaviour, and why do cultural, historical, and religious treatises so often fail to emphasise, or outright ignore, this obvious aspect of human sexuality? Responding to these and many other questions about our most private affairs, With Pleasure provides a profoundly original challenge to the cherished truisms of human sexuality. Abramson and Pinkerton proclaim the paramount importance of pleasure, while at the same time overthrowing traditional ideas about gender, pornography, contraception, homosexuality, abortion, and much more. Supported by rigorous research and co-written by one of the foremost authorities on sex, With Pleasure argues that human sexuality cannot be understood if its significance is limited to reproduction alone. The authors posit that in humans reproduction itself occurs as a byproduct of pleasure - not the other way around - and that it is the strong drive for pleasure that makes people overcome many obstacles - and even life-threatening danger such as AIDS - to have sex. Ranging from discussions about the church to current debates about pornography, and from evolutionary theory to questions about the future of sex and pleasure, Abramson and Pinkerton argue persuasively that the pleasurability of sex cannot be restricted to purely reproductive behaviour. With Pleasure advances a startling and original new theory about human sexuality, one which the authors believe will replace all existing notions about sex. The book, standing in direct and deliberate opposition to traditions that try to confine sexuality to procreation, is sure to ignite a firestorm of controversy.

坦白说,我一开始对这类题材的期待值并不高,总觉得会是老生常谈。然而,这本书却提供了一种非常新鲜的视角来审视那些我们习以为常的情感关系。它并没有给出简单的答案或明确的对错,而是将所有的人物都置于一个灰色地带,让他们在道德的边界上跳着危险的舞蹈。最让我印象深刻的是作者对“时间”的处理。故事的时间线并非完全线性,而是巧妙地穿插着过去的回忆与当下的抉择,这种交织不仅丰富了故事的层次感,更深刻地揭示了“过去如何塑造现在”这一宏大命题。每当我觉得自己已经完全理解了某个角色的动机时,作者总会适时地抛出一个新的信息点,让我不得不推翻之前的判断,重新构建认知。这种智力上的挑战感,让我全程保持着高度的兴奋,简直像在解一道结构精巧的立体迷宫。
评分从结构上来说,这部作品展现出一种近乎建筑学的美感。每一个章节的篇幅、段落的布局,都经过了深思熟虑的安排,它们共同构建了一个稳固而又充满张力的叙事框架。最巧妙的是,作者在情节的“留白”处理上达到了炉火纯青的地步。他给予了我们足够多的信息去构建自己的理解,却又刻意留下了几块关键的拼图,迫使读者必须参与到“创作”的过程中去填补空白。这种开放式的处理方式,极大地增强了读者的代入感和思辨性。我甚至认为,这本书的魅力很大一部分来自于我们自己阅读时产生的“二次创作”。读完后,我立刻去查阅了作者的其他作品,因为我确信,一个能如此精妙地驾驭叙事结构的作者,绝不会只靠一本书来定义自己的才华。这真是一次令人心潮澎湃的阅读体验。
评分这本书的叙事节奏把握得极佳,每一个转折都像是精心铺设的棋局,让人忍不住想一探究竟。作者对于人物心理的刻画细腻入微,那些潜藏在日常对话和微小动作下的暗流涌动,被描绘得淋漓尽致。我尤其欣赏作者在构建世界观时的那种沉稳与克制,它并非那种大开大合、充斥着宏大叙事的作品,而是将焦点放在了人与人之间微妙的联系和情感的拉扯上。读到主人公在面对困境时那种近乎本能的挣扎与选择,我仿佛也身处其中,感同身受那种内心的煎熬与挣扎。故事情节推进的过程中,那些看似不经意的细节,到最后都会成为解开谜团的关键线索,这种伏笔的设置手法,实在高明。读完之后,那种回味悠长的感觉,就像是品尝了一杯层次丰富的陈年佳酿,初尝是果香四溢,回甘却是深邃悠长,让人不由得思考其中蕴含的人生哲理。它成功地避开了许多同类型小说容易落入的俗套,用一种非常真诚和坦白的方式,向我们展示了人性中复杂而又迷人的面向。
评分这本书给我的感觉是极其“内敛的爆发”。它没有炫技,没有刻意的煽情,但那种情感的张力却像被紧紧压缩的弹簧,随时可能释放出巨大的能量。我尤其欣赏作者处理冲突的方式,很多关键性的对峙场面,并不是通过激烈的争吵来完成的,而是通过沉默、眼神的交汇,甚至是一杯茶的温度变化来体现的。这种“此时无声胜有声”的叙事技巧,要求读者必须全神贯注,去捕捉那些没有说出口的潜台词。对于那些习惯了直白表达的读者来说,可能需要一点适应期,但一旦你进入了作者构建的这个氛围之中,你会发现这种含蓄的力量远比直白的呐喊更具穿透力。它教会我,真正的力量往往隐藏在最平静的外表之下。
评分这部作品的文字功底绝对是顶级的,简直可以用“行云流水”来形容。我很少看到有作家能将如此深沉的主题,用如此轻盈且富有音乐性的语言来表达。它的句子结构变化多端,时而短促有力,如同骤雨击打窗棂,渲染紧张的气氛;时而又冗长舒缓,像夏日午后慵懒的微风,将读者的思绪带入一种近乎冥想的状态。我注意到作者对环境描写的独到之处——他似乎并不只是在描述景色,而是在用风景来烘托人物的心境。例如,当主角陷入绝望时,天空的颜色、空气的湿度,都仿佛被赋予了生命,一同参与到这场无声的悲剧中。这种高度的文学性和画面感,使得阅读过程变成了一种纯粹的感官享受。我已经很久没有为了一段文字的美妙而停下来,反复诵读数遍了,这本书做到了。它需要的不是快节奏的追逐,而是慢下来,去细细品味每一个词语的重量和韵味。
