Sex in China 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. Elaine Jeffreys and
Haiqing Yu situate China s changing sexual culture, and how it is governed, in the
socio-political history of the People s Republic of China. They demonstrate that Chinese
governmental authorities and policies do not set out strictly to repress sex ; they
also create spaces for the emergence of new sexual subjects and subjectivities. They
discuss the complexities surrounding the ongoing explosion of commentary on sex and
sexuality in the PRC, and the emergence of new sexual behaviours and mores. Sex in
China offers clear, critical coverage of sex-related issues that are a focus of public
concern and debate in 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. This book will be an invaluable resource for students and scholars
both of modern China and of sex and sexualities, who wish to understand the role that
sex plays in contemporary China.--Publisher description
