This publication introduces readers to some of the dramatic shifts that have taken place in Chinese sexual behaviours and attitudes, and public discussions of sex, since the 1980s. The book explores what it means to talk about ‘sex’ in present-day China, where sex and sexuality are more and more visible in everyday life. The authors situate China’s changing sexual culture, and how it is governed, in the socio-political history of the People’s Republic of China. Chapters focus on sex studies, marriage and family planning, youth and sex(iness), gay, lesbian and queer discourses and identities, commercial sex: and HIV/AIDS.
