A new feature is being promoted in a Chinese hospital, sex themed rooms. For $140 US a night, or 880 Yuan, they are available to be rented for the night in order to help promote contraception for couples who are struggling to have children, but what type of effect will this have on wannabe parents? Is this a legitimate way of thinking, or is this a gimmick to cash in on the Chinese wanting to experiment with kinkier sex?
China is much more traditional then North America. Discussions of sex are looked down upon, which makes sexual education very hard to promote. On top of that, people who may be interested in kinkier sex, such as sex involving toys, different positions, or watching pornography will have a very hard time going though an experimental phases in their life with the oppression which is put up by the condemning public.
In 19th century North America, doctors claimed that women could suffer from ‘Female hysteria‘, a medical diagnosis attached to women who suffered from symptoms of faintness, nervousness, sexual desire, insomnia, fluid retention, heaviness in abdomen, muscle spasm, shortness of breath, irritability, loss of appetite for food or sex, and “a tendency to cause trouble”. Treatment would consist of “pelvic massage” until “hysterical paroxysm”, which translates to “having her genitals rubbed until orgasm.” This eventually led to the invention of the vibrator, and the realization that this was not a medical condition, but yet a mass female population being sexually unsatisfied with the males lack of education on how to make a woman sexually satisfied. Women would flock to the doctors just to get off once a month or more, and doctors
Fast forward to the 21st century, and to an oppressive Chinese government. While sexual education is slowly improving there, the discussion of it in class rooms becomes a debate, and teachers and students are often too embarrassed to discuss anything seriously. This can lead to the trend of a sexually unsatisfied population through a lack of education, just as it did for the 19th century North America female population. And just as the 19th century medical professionals, 21st century Chinese medical professionals are looking to cash in by keeping their patients satisfied.
These rooms offer nothing but security for a couple to step up their sex game, while being in a comfortable setting with the disguise that it’s for medical reasons. It makes it easy for respectful people to get deeply involved with their sexuality, while allowing patients the discretion and safety of a medical diagnosis.
