An exhibition on items featuring Chinese sexual culture opened online recently, giving net surfers an opportunity to learn more about the sexual life of Chinese people.

Chinese Sexual Culture Online, accessible at www.511511.com, was jointly launched by China's largest Internet portal sina.com and Ma Xiaonian, a sexology professor from Beijing Yuquan Hospital.

All the exhibits including pictures of ancient Chinese sex toysand sculptures and paintings were collected by Ma Xiaonian, who organized a real life exhibition on Chinese sexual culture in Beijing two months ago and was ordered to close the show shortly after it started.

Although having experienced ups and downs in presenting his personal collections to the Chinese public, Ma has never shelved the idea of popularizing knowledge of human sex and sexual behaviors by launching exhibitions on sexual culture.

"Sex and sexual behaviors are the most natural thing in the world and the exhibition aims to guide viewers to understand relevant issues from a scientific perspective," said Professor Ma,who considers online exhibitions more easily acceptable than real ones.

In addition to giving detailed explanations to each exhibited picture, item and painting, Ma also launched an online column to answer questions concerning sex and sexual behaviors posted by netsurfers.
