Premature ending for sex theme park

A sex theme park that featured explicit exhibits of genitalia and sexual culture is being demolished before it even opened, a Chinese government spokesman said.

The park, christened "Love Land" by its owners, was destroyed over the weekend in the city of Chongqing, in south-western China.

The spokesman refused to give the reason for the demolition, but photographs of the adult-only park had circulated widely on the internet over the weekend, prompting widespread mockery and condemnation.

Exhibits included giant-sized reproductions of male and female anatomy, dissertations on how the topic of sex is treated in various cultures and what the official China Daily newspaper called "sex technique workshops".

The park's main investor, Lu Xiaoqing, claimed that the attractions sought only to boost sexual awareness and improve people's sex lives.

The demolition highlights conflicting views on sex in modern China, where a prudish attitude toward discussion of sexuality is paired with an almost clinical approach to its physical aspects.

While pornography is banned and sex education largely unheard-of, shops selling sex toys and related items stand out prominently in many neighbourhoods and sex outside marriage is widely tolerated.

Prostitution, while technically illegal, is widespread and the keeping of mistresses among prominent businessmen and Communist Party officials is considered commonplace.

Such attitudes are blamed in part for risky sex and ignorance about birth control among minors.

With public discussion of sex so limited, there is relatively little awareness of sexual harassment and abuse, and laws and regulations covering such matters are weaker in China than in many countries.
