何谓高潮？

表演有高潮，竞赛有高潮。竞争有高潮，创业也有高潮。最容易想象的，莫过于打仗的高潮，性高潮。打仗高潮吗，属于杀人快感的高潮，文明人常常缄口不言，杀了就算了，杀几个人，不是什么大事儿，况且杀敌人、坏人。

性高潮吗，好说，公开场合不妙，说起来自然不会放肆，不过上流场合，说说也无妨。

就是像我这样的老头，一脚踩进棺材，说什么性高潮啊，倒是想起霍金（Stephen Hawking）的话，“（它-指科学）跟交媾不能相比，不过快感长多了”（I wouldn’t compare it to sex, but it lasts longer），看来我只能想象这个了。

不过，老头有老头的法子。
