精子是在男性的睾丸中产生的，卵子是从女性的卵巢中排出的

]]> <![CDATA[By: bodawei]]> I wonder how shy Chinese kids are about discussing sex. I remember dinner our family had with a young woman (浙江 native) one evening in October 2006. Discussion went from roasted peanuts to language exchange to sex and then to the fire brigade (I still have key terms noted down from that dinner in my Notebook #1.)

油煎 yǒujiān (to shallow fry in oil)

交流 jiāoliú (exchange)

精液 jīngyè (semen)

精子 jīngzi (penis) - I think this is the colloquial term

消防局 xiāofángjú (fire station)

Alert poddies might follow the thread of the conversation; it was a wild discussion. It seems that terminology varies for penis and semen - or perhaps it is regional. Or did my young informant not listen in class?

ps..yeah, it seems like a pretty natural flow of conversation, though the final vocab point could have been reached via a few routes

]]> <![CDATA[By: bodawei]]> I don't recall any awkwardness at all - she is my example of a young Chinese (about 24 now) who shows no awkwardness talking about sex. I also noted a saying discussed at that meal: 一切靠自己 (everything depends on yourself) - challenging the traditional life style.

Tal，多谢你为这个帖子。。。意思很明显。。现在我完全明白了；以前我看过一样的漫画，不过那个漫画有不一样的评论：

“正常精子。。您的精子

我想你有一个陣子没有做爱了”

在这里：

。。我不太肯定如果“陣子”的意思是“disposition of troups" 【明显troups是精子】还是“spell" [but not "short period of time"]。。要不然意思也明显

Hee hee, maybe it is 茎子 。。 look I am sure there are dozens of colloquial terms for penis in various parts of the country. As there are 24 documented terms for potato (see my Potato Atlas) I am sure that there would be 124 terms for something much more 'interesting' than the lowly potato. :)

Yeh, thanks for 油 yóu - it's a bit hard to correct, once it is done it is done. I am not careful and have little patience for checking.
