BBC:China is building what is billed as its first sex theme park, aimed at improving both the sex education and the sex life of its visitors.
Due to open in Chongqing in October, Love Land will include displays of giant genitalia, naked bodies and an exhibition on the history of sex.
The park will also offer sex technique workshops and safe-sex methods.
Among the attractions is a giant rotating statue of the lower part of a nearly naked woman.
"Sex is a taboo subject in China but people really need to have more access to information about it," the park's manager, Lu Xiaoqing told the China Daily state newspaper.
"We are building the park for the good of the public. I have found that the majority of people support my idea, but I have to pay attention and not make the park look vulgar and nasty."
He was inspired to build the park after a visit to South Korea's popular sex theme park in Jeju... ..which is pretty damned cool, btw. Read about the Cheju, the Korean Love Land, here.
More on the China park at Frisky. Thanks Susannah.
Update (20 May 2009): No sooner do we get the news than the government of that Chinese province decides that they won't allow it and they're going to destroy the park. See news here. Damn. China so much wants to look like a modern society, but under the surface it is obviously still kind of a backwards place.
