Cultural revolution taking place in China's bedrooms
Guangzhou — A Japanese porn star prepares for a performance in her dressing room, unruffled by furious arguments outside among impatient Chinese fans eagerly anticipating her show.
Rei Mizuna was in China to corner her share of its money-spinning sex product market.
"Everyone is so passionate and I'm really happy," the diminutive porn star told AFP as heated exchanges took place outside. "I really didn't think there would be this much excitement."
The rowdy scene at the Guangzhou National Sex Culture Festival was a graphic illustration of how sexual taboos are loosening in the once deeply conservative country -- and the opportunities for those able to exploit it.
China is estimated to make more than 80 percent of the world's sex toys, with one million people employed in the industry, but an increasing proportion of the products are staying in the country to feed domestic demand.
