<![CDATA[Comments on: China Fruit and Pre-Marital Sex]]> Dear Amber a couple of juicy topics, one being all the cool and wonderful fruit you will discover in China that you never knew existed before. It was hard to find a juicier topic than that, but we managed to! We answer a question about viewpoints on sexuality in China, and the Chinese take on pre-marital sex. Come and visit us in the comments section and share your discoveries, too.]]> 2008-06-19 20:30:00 <![CDATA[By: amber]]> Here are pics of the fruit we talk about in the podcast:

It's good to know there is absolutely NO difference between the way the kids in China learn about sex and the kids in America.

Now that you've done a show about food and sex, could you make the next show about smoking a cigarette and politely asking a guest to leave your house?

]]> <![CDATA[By: mikeinewshot]]> I am just a little sceptical about the Chinese attitude to sex stated in the podcast.  I just wonder if it is over exaggerated.  Perhaps a Chinese person would be very reluctant to admit (even if true) that Chinese are more promiscuous.

Is this really the experience of Westerners (mainly men) of Chinese girls?  Or do Chinese girls more readily/quickly sleep with foreign men?

I hope noone takes offence at my comments.

However it is funny to me that whenever the subject of sex is brought up most Chinese will blush and or grin in a very embarrassed way and then become rather quiet. I think its kind of cute. lol

I just had 荔枝 (lìzhī) for the first time the other day! 很好吃!!

I really liked the dried persimmons in China - really common in the street stalls, but yet we cannnot get them in Australia - although fresh persimmons are common.
