SHANGHAI, China - It's all there, artistically displayed on fans, bronzes and ceramics and in phallic forms sculpted in crude stone or precious jade: more than 6,000 years of human sexuality in the world's most populous nation.

Liu Dalin, 71-year-old founder and curator of the Chinese Sexual Culture Museum, has made it a mission to reintroduce his country's ancient culture of sexuality to generations brought up in more prudish communist times.

But after years of struggling to keep his private museum afloat, Liu is packing up his collection of 3,700 erotic toys, icons and other sex paraphernalia and moving to the countryside.

Interesting..

last year there was a similar museum in NYC dedicated to the history of sex in new york, it was really fascinating..

It sounds really interesting. I know I would go if I was there.

I was still living in New York last year, but I never heard it. Whatever happened to it?

BTW, the article is very interesting!

There was a great story on it on CBS Sunday Morning. Wasn't there a fair amount of controversy because some government funds (supporting the Arts) were used?
