[Time Asia magazine] "Sex in Asia"

Some interesting facts & articles I found from the numerous articles on the aforementioned website....
~Thais like to be spanked—some 37% of men surveyed and 34% of women. Singaporean women initiate sex more than other Asian women. Virgins are an endangered Asian species almost everywhere except the Philippines, where 78% of the men say they want to marry one.
~China's Tao, or "The Way," cemented for centuries the uniquely Chinese concept that spiritual fulfillment demands good sex—and lots of it. The I Ching named the yin and yang, that most essential description of male and female, but Taoism insisted that yin and yang existed within each person—probably mankind's earliest argument for pansexuality.
~In mainland China, you can't use the word sex in an advertisement or a product name. But Shanghai radio sexologist Chen Kai—his business card features a pop-up penis—recently gave on-air advice to a housewife who wanted to know if it was safe to pleasure herself with a frozen cucumber. (Chen's tip: thaw it first.)

~"It quickly became clear that there are a couple of decisions to be made—seahorse or moth? Antler or penis?—before getting all hopped up on Chinese sex aids. The first: Do I really believe that eating another animal's penis is going to improve my sex life? (Plenty of people do: one of the hottest sellers is a tonic made by soaking tiger, bear and deer penises in rice wine.) A follow-up question: Even if I do, is it remotely reasonable to believe that things that simply resemble penises, such as snakes and antlers, have the same effect? And let's say I don't. (I'm suspicious of the overtly obvious; for example I don't believe that star fish are really like stars.) Do I then subscribe to the opposite school of Chinese sex aids: that anything incredibly obscure and hard to gather, such as fungus from the larvae of a moth, is more effective?" / "I proposed durians from Southeast Asia—remembering the Malaysian proverb, "When the durians come down, the saris go up" " - from this article http://www.time.com/time/asia/featu...hrodisiacs.html
