of course i had to go to the hokey chinese sex culture and health museum. it was small and kinda ghetto (let’s just say it was part of the bund sightseeing tunnel), but apparently there’s a better, more substantial one in tongli.

there aren’t too many photos, so this makes for an easy entry (um, no pun intended?). the didactics speak for themselves – they’re hilarious.

ohhhh snap

dude, we get it

supposedly in the ol’ days, moms hid these little gems in the dowry trunks of their daughters so the newlywed brides would know what to do on the night of their honeymoon. thanks mom. everything i ever needed to know about sex i learned from a pop-up locket (sorry, the punning is irresistable). it is quite cute though

and my favorite, ladies and gents, i bring you the piece de resistance…
