Despite the warm reception it got in the apparently more sexually open city of Nanjing, Shanghai's first sex-ed camp for kids fell flat. The course, which opened yesterday for children aged eight to 13, only managed to attract six male students and absolutely no females. It seems many parents were put off by the high cost: 2,880 yuan for just three days and others commented that this style of frankness “conflicts with Chinese people's cultural traditions.” Still, parents of the children who did go said it was worth it. “It's an information explosion age and there is much misleading information on the Internet,” opined one mother. “It's better for kids to be instructed by professionals.” Source: Shanghai Daily

Looks like China's first attempt at a sexually explicit theme park came a little before its time. After videos of its statue, a giant pair of leggy legs in a red thong spinning atop the park's name, were released to the internet - Chongqing officials demanded that LOVE LAND be torn down. Love Land had been set to open in October and was envisioned to be a path towards sex education and a way to help adults "enjoy a harmonious sex life." Unfortunately, it seems like much of the population just found it "vulgar" and overly-explicit instead. Source: NYTimes

               

Chinese kids are starting early these days. Someone over at the PCPop.com forum with a nephew attending first grade looked through his textbooks one day and was shocked at what sex education for first graders looks like in China these days — funny cartoons, witty dialogues, testicles that talk to one another, and cool-looking Mr Condoms wearing shades. We wish sex education was this fun for us when we were growing up. No, wait a minute, we don't remember getting any form of sex education back then.
