Pioneering China sex education workshop motivates people to embrace, share sexual experiences, provokes ire and ‘prostitution’ claims online
- Offline learning sessions teach people how to touch, reach orgasm
- Forward-thinking woman psychologist faces ‘sex work’ jibes over lessons
A psychology counsellor in China on a crusade to popularise sex has opened one of the country’s first offline sex education workshops.
Thirty-something Zhuo Yueyue from Hubei province in central China founded the outlet in the southern city of Shenzhen in Guangdong province, at the end of 2017.
In her classes, participants engage in activities such as touching the body of the opposite sex, learning techniques to reach an orgasm and sharing their sexual experiences.
“This is the first batch of sex education classes that can be conducted offline in China,” said Zhuo.
Having worked as an obstetrician and gynaecologist, Zhuo saw there was a need to promote sex education in the country after encountering many patients who had unintended pregnancies, some of whom were under the age of 18.
