Summaries

Looks at how attitudes to sex have changed in China over the years.

The Chinese are, regarding to sexuality, used to restraining themselves for 50 years. Now the sexual revolution is taking off. We get a glimpse of what is forbidden in China, often filmed with a hidden camera. During the Mao era, sexuality was taboo. Everyone was forced to wear the same unisex uniform dress and women were not allowed to wear sexy clothes or put on make-up. Women and men should be friends and not lovers. This did of course not apply to Chairman Mao himself, who had an extensive sex life with lots of young girls and women.—Ulf Kjell Gür
