Sex: The Chinese perspective

Katrien Jacobs is writing a book about pornography in China. The research process sounds stressful.
Jacobs describes an experiment in which she and a group of her students went to a Starbucks coffeehouse in Shenzhen to search for sexually explicit media on the Internet. The aim was to see what they could access through mainland China?s Great Firewall.
?I was more scared than my students were,? admits Jacobs who is a professor of visual culture studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. ?We were there for 30 minutes and we found all this porn using an Internet connection in a public space.?
