Love Land

China’s first sex theme park, “Love Land,” greets visitors with a giant revolving woman’s legs and lower torso clad in a crimson thong.

Trying to raise some ... consciousness about sex education in China, an entrepreneur plans to open the country’s first sex theme park in October. It’s raising some local eyebrows too as development continues in the southwest city of Chongqing.

The Guardian:

Maybe it was the giant revolving model of a woman’s legs and lower torso, clad only in an unflattering crimson thong, or perhaps it was the oversized replica of a set of genitals. Either way, many residents in the south-west city of Chongqing are not happy about the development of China’s first sex theme park, which has been described as “vulgar” and inappropriate.

The park manager, Lu Xiaoqing, who was inspired by South Korea’s popular sex theme park in Jeju, says that Love Land, due to open in October, will improve sex education and help adults enjoy a harmonious sex life. Inside, visitors will be able to view naked human sculptures, giant replicas of genitals and an exhibition about the history of sex and sexual practices in other countries.

The park will also offer sex technique workshops and advise on anti-Aids measures and using condoms properly.

“Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need to have more access to information about it,” Lu told the state newspaper China Daily.

Interesting and intriguing! Though I am a sixty-year old man for whom actual sex has become a marginal activity, if I get the chance to visit China, this sex park would be one of the landmarks I would like to visit!
