Sex talk in China
Asia Times: "A succession of 'kiss and tell' books and 'one-night stand' diaries, full of what officials call pornographic detail, have both fascinated and shocked Chinese readers in recent months, marking the emergence of the topic of sex out of the closet. Long a social taboo, sex has somewhat overnight become a boldly public subject, drawing attention from university auditoriums to press rooms and publishing houses. Scholars on sexology and sociology have just unveiled their list of China's 'top 10 sex-related news stories in 2003' and announced that they will make their evaluation an annual event."
