    Several recent American studies have shown that sex is still a taboo topic in this country, especially when it comes to sexual disorders.  Several recent studies, performed by Wyeth and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, have shown that one in four adults experiences dyspareunia.  Dyspareunia can be described as a pain or discomfort due to trauma to the genitals, nerve or tissue inflammation, urinary tract infections or sexually transmitted infections.  While dyspareunia can be extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing to talk about, these issues need to be addressed, not only for comfort, but as serious health concerns.  

    It seems that since sex is still such a taboo subject within the mainstream media in the United States, that countries such as China would not be open to public discussions about sex.  This is not the case.  Lu Xiaoqing is the manager of an adult theme park in Beijing aptly named Love Land.  Love Land will host sexual workshops and sexual health exhibitions.  Love Land's entrance is graced with a sign displaying the park's name straddled by a giant sculpture of a woman's legs equipped with a red thong.  Love Land will not open until October of this year, many people are looking forward to the day.  

    Updates to come on Love Land's status in the United States.
