When I read this, I really just about choked on my cornflakes (no I wasn’t really eating cornflakes, nor was it even breakfast time when I read it, but you get the euphamism I’m using – I was shocked).  I was shocked first when I read that a whole theme park was opening based on sex and sexually explicit themes.  That wasn’t the real shocking part though, I could actually see that happening here in the US, or especially somewhere that sex is more openly talked about and not as taboo of a subject, like over in Europe somewhere, but this sex themed park is opening up in non other than the ultimately opressive culture of China.

China has long been known to censor things that are sexually explicity, right down to policing the internet against pornographic images and taking this as a very serious offense if it is breached.  Heck, you can’t surf the net today here in the US without coming across some very explicity ads for this stuff it seems, so it’s weird that there are still cultures that take this stuff so seriously.  I mean, sex is natural, and everyone does it and everyone (just about everyone) loves it.  I get that we are a little too sexually charged and preoccupied here in the US, but nonetheless, at least we have the freedom to sexually express ourselves.

The picture I saw in the article showed a picture of a woman, off to the side of a sink washing her hands.  Apparently she didn’t want to be in a compromising position with the sink, because the sink was in the shape of a naked woman’s butt bending over in spiked high heels.  Like, I said, this is a pretty wild park!  The park is set to be called an aptly named “Love Land” and it has not officially opened yet but is still under construction.

While some approve of it and think it’s long overdue and will supply many Chinese people with sex education and get them to enjoy a more satisfying and open sexual relationship with their partner, some view it as vulgar and unnecessary.  Others view it as a coming of age thing, and a sign that Chinese government is more open to allowing it’s citizens more freedom of expression, and more concerned with their sexual well being as well as the feeling that the government is supporting this sort of effort.  What do you think?  I think it’s a little over the top, but I’m glad they’re open to it.  Seems like a quantum leap from extreme conservatism to over the top openness, but hey, whatever works!
