BEIJING (AFP) - - A sex theme park in southwest
China that exhibits naked human
sculptures, giant genitals and boasts a sex technique workshop is
stirring up howls of protest,
according to state press.
"Love Land", billed as China's first-ever sex theme
park, is slated to open in Chongqing
municipality in October, but detractors hope the
project will never see the light of day, the
China Daily reported.
"We are building the park for the good of the public...
to help adults enjoy a harmonious sex
life," the paper quoted park manager Lu Xiaoqing as saying.
"Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need
to have more access to information
about it."
Besides displays on sex history and techniques, the park
boasts a giant rotating statue of the
lower portion of a nearly naked woman bent over at the
waist.
The announcement of the opening of the park elicited
numerous comments from Internet users,
with the majority of postings voicing
opposition to the park.
Officials also registered their disquiet with the
explicit images on offer.
"These things are too exposed," the China Daily quoted
Chongqing policewoman Liu Daiwei
as saying.
"I will feel uncomfortable to look at
them when other people are around."
