Via China Digital Times, Pacific News Service reports on China’s sex bloggers. While the censorship of Sister Hibiscus had been exaggerated, as the report notes the internet has provided new avenues for the rise of celebrities.
Chinese women sex bloggers explore new territory, prompt censorship
Editor’s Note: Lost Sparrow, Sister Lotus and a host of other Chinese women are changing the rules between the sexes — and prompting government censorship — as they post intimate details of their lives online.
The nude black-and-white photograph of the young Chinese woman is gritty and amateurish. She sits in front of her computer with her face turned away from the camera. A large potted plant obscures her waist.
“Women on the Internet are always lonely,” says the caption.
The photograph and caption are from the blog of Liu Mang Yan, or “Lost Sparrow,” China’s latest controversial woman blogger. Liu’s outspoken posts about sex include a “bedside encyclopedia” of love-making noises, broken down by the type of response it can elicit from your lover, and by geographical regions in China — that is, how pillow-talk may sound in regional dialect or slang. She talks openly about masturbation (”I have no worldly possession, except for two vibrators”) and muses about why men are afraid to say “I love you.”
