🎙 클리타즘– 한국어 버전

안녕하세요, 오랜만이죠?
이팟캐스트는평균적으로1년에한번만올라옵니다.왜냐하면…저희는양보다 질을 믿거든요.
아무튼,오늘은가짜 페니스, 과학적으로는"슈도페니스"에 대해 얘기해보겠습니다.

자, 바로 시작하죠.
이팟캐스트의큰주제는사실이겁니다:
“대체 자연은 왜 여성오르가즘에는 관심이 없는가?”
그리고그가장간단한답은이거예요—
여성 오르가즘은 아기를만드는 데 필수가 아니기때문이죠.

그렇다 해도… 좀 화나지 않나요?
왜 질은 클리토리스처럼느껴지지 않는 걸까요?
그랬으면얼마나더쉽고덜헷갈렸을까요.

그런데, 자연이 이걸한번시도하긴했습니다.
어디서?바로하이에나에서요.
정확히는암컷 점박이하이에나입니다.

이 녀석들의 클리토리스는 그냥페니스처럼 생겼습니다.
그래서"슈도페니스"라고 부르죠.
덕분에겉으로봐선암수구분이거의불가능합니다.
게다가가짜 고환까지 있습니다.이건슈도음낭이라고 불러요.

그래서 18세기 전까지만해도과학자들은하이에나가달팽이처럼**암수생식기를 모두 가진 ‘양성구유’**라고 생각했습니다.

그리고 중요한 포인트: 질이 클리토리스안에 있습니다.
즉,클리토리스를 통해 성관계를 합니다.
처음듣기엔“오?괜찮은데?”싶지만…생각만큼좋진않아요.

왜냐하면 수컷이 자기페니스를암컷의슈도페니스안에넣어야하는데…말처럼쉽지않습니다.
상당히어색한균형잡기고,강간은 사실상 불가능합니다.

그런데 진짜 문제는 이겁니다:
출산도 클리토리스를 통해일어난다는 거죠.

그렇습니다. 질이 클리토리스안에있기때문에,
그좁고잘안늘어나는통로로새끼가나옵니다.
그래서첫출산때새끼의 약 60%가죽습니다. 대부분은 질식사고, 가끔은어미도죽습니다.
디자인점수로는…최악이죠.

게다가 출산 중에 클리토리스가 찢어지기도해서,심한상처나감염이생길수있습니다.

그래서 사람들이 자주 묻습니다:
그럼 출산 후에도 하이에나는성관계를 할 수 있나요?

좋은 질문입니다. 왜냐하면 클리토리스-슬래시-슈도페니스-슬래시-질이출산중에거의박살나거든요.
그런데놀랍게도많은암컷들이이후에회복합니다.
시간이지나면다시성관계를원하기도하고요.
현재까지알려진바로는,장기적인성기능장애나만성통증은거의없습니다.인상적이죠.

이제 왜 자연이 이 디자인을 널리 채택하지않았는지이해가되실겁니다.
그리고사실모든 하이에나가 이런구조를 가진 것도 아닙니다.
오직점박이하이에나만 그렇습니다. 라이온 킹에나오는하이에나들이바로이종이죠.

갈색하이에나와 줄무늬하이에나는클리토리스가조금크긴하지만,질은따로있습니다.

그리고 하이에나 사회는 가부장제가아니라 모계사회입니다.
서열이가장낮은암컷도모든수컷보다위에있습니다.
라이온 킹도 이걸조금반영했죠.
거기서우두머리하이에나는암컷**셴지(Shenzi)**입니다.

📌 정리

그럼 오늘도 여러분의 클리토리스와 함께,또는누군가의클리토리스와함께,좋은하루되시길.😉

"Angling", "Rocking", "Shallowing", "Pairing"...these are scientific terms for techniques that women (and their partners) use to make vaginal intercourse more pleasurable.
