Exploring the 2011 National Sexual Culture Festival in Guangzhou
On July 7, reporters announced that the 9th National Sexual Culture Festival will officially open this Saturday at the Jinhan Exhibition Center. This year's festival features an expanded exhibition area, including a newly added second-floor section that showcases a collection of sexual arts. With its larger space, attendees can expect a more immersive experience than in previous years.
Introducing the Essence of Sexual Aesthetics
According to Director Zheng of the Provincial Family Planning Scientific Research Institute, this year’s festival prominently features a new cultural concept known as sexual aesthetics. This concept emphasizes various aspects such as the beauty of civility, morality, and sensory experiences including visual and auditory pleasures. Importantly, the festival highlights that harmonious relationships between genders are a crucial element of sexual aesthetics.
Understanding Harmony in Gender Relations
The essence of harmonious relationships lies in mutual affection, equality, and respect. Unethical relationships, such as infidelity or exploitative situations, cannot foster true harmony. Notably, past incidents like the sexual slavery case in Luoyang, Henan, underline the importance of addressing and opposing forced relationships.
Promoting the Beauty of Sexual Culture
Speaker Zhang Feng advocates for the promotion of sexual aesthetics as a means to elevate individuals' understanding and enjoyment of sexual spirituality. He emphasizes the appreciation of the beauty of sexuality, harmony, and richness in one’s experiences. To facilitate this appreciation, the festival has curated several events, including:
- Sexual Art Exhibition
- Body Art Photography Exhibition
- Sexual Happiness Art Exhibition
- Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasty Series on Sexual Aesthetics
Engaging Activities for Participants
The organizing committee has confirmed that alongside the diverse exhibitions and performances, the venue will offer numerous engaging and beneficial activities for the public. Highlights include the selection of the top ten sexual incidents in the world and China for 2011, as well as a themed essay competition focused on building harmonious families and promoting happiness in Guangdong.
The outcomes of both the essay competition and the top ten incident selection will be presented at the 15th Academic Annual Conference of the Guangdong Sexology Society, which will take place on the 11th.
Conclusion
This year’s National Sexual Culture Festival aims not only to entertain but also to enrich public understanding of sexual aesthetics and the significance of nurturing harmonious relationships. Everyone is encouraged to participate in this enlightening and culturally significant event, embracing the beauty it offers.
