More sex in China: PDA police and condom confusion
- Fudan's first course on homosexuality has been a resounding success, according to this Xinhua report (in Chinese), which states that there are never empty seats in the classroom and students are literally jammed into the aisles and out the doors. They've even started new curricula to meet the demand. Other interesting facts -- there are estimated to be 30 million homosexuals in China, and 80-90 percent are or are preparing to marry members of the opposite sex.
- A man from Dengfeng in Henan province, where the Shaolin temple is located, decided to name his recently born son Hu D, with the "D" being the actual English letter "D". The hospital and the local public security bureau weren't too keen on that, so made him choose a Chinese character for "D", which Hu did reluctantly. What's the big deal about this anyway? Some people said it was too Western, though in the West no one other than rappers have the privelege of using one letter names.
- A word to the wise: men, don't linger too long in the lingerie store or section, because old ladies and other sexually repressed and generally unpleasant people will give ya a hard time (article in Chinese). According to the story, men who either go alone or with their significant others to lingerie or underwear stores might find themselves the subject of unwelcome attention -- you know, the whispers, the stares, the cone-shaped hat, etc. Guys, maybe flipping through Victoria's Secret catalogue would be a better idea, and it's not a bad way to spend an afternoon, either.
- 你知道最近在复旦大学那门课最受欢迎吗？看这篇新化社的报告就晓得咯: 复旦大学社会学系副教授孙中欣的《同性恋研究》公选课自今年9月7日开课以来，每节课都爆满. 9月２２日晚，复旦大学公共卫生学院教授高燕宁开设的《同性恋健康社会科学》的第一堂课，同样座无虚席. 当越来越多的人把目光投向同性恋这一领域时，眼神中所蕴涵的意味是否一样？同性恋课程的火爆能够告诉我们些什么？据报告，目前国内有3000万同性恋者，而且其中有８０％至９０％正准备或已经与异性结婚! 看来李安导演当时拍〈喜宴〉可真有前瞻性。
- 人家有没有常说你崇洋媚外？你现在完全能为自己辩护了，因为最近在以少林寺著称的河南登封市的胡某给自己的儿子起了“胡D“的名字。“这个名字因为很特别，所以容易记得，而且也是为了培养我儿子的创新精神“胡某对记者说。胡某还说这样不是没有前例 -- 鲁迅的阿Q不是就是这样吗？我们觉得如果傻B和牛B一起生了个孩子，不知道这孩子要叫什么才对，但我们至少能确定这孩子肯定是个B...
- 在这个年头，我们对社会道德规范的开放性仍然有限 -- 比如说，如果一位男同志如果走进一个卖女性内衣的店，一边走一边摸摸衣服，你会觉得怎么样？最近在上海有些男人正因为类似以上形容的行为而遭了白眼围攻。我们认为这是一种双重标准，莫非如果是女人在买男人的内裤周围的人会有同样的反应吗？
