China may be the new economic powerhouse of the world; a manufacturing behemoth that will almost undoubtedly eclipse the United States in time to come.  Yet for all its power and growing importance, with the possible exception of Saudi Arabia, it’s probably the lousiest place in the world to indulge in sex masturbation.

China, which ironically mass produces more sex toys than any other nation on earth, is not going to give its own citizens the opportunity to enjoy sex masturbation material anytime soon. The land where concubines once doted on an Emperors every sexual whim,  has banned 1,414 works of online literature on the grounds that it was of a pornographic, sex masturbation nature in a nationwide campaign to eradicate what it considers to be lewd content from the Internet.

So far, and they are really only just getting warmed up, Chinese authorities have banned about 30,000 web links that leads to banned works. Twenty online literature websites have so far been closed after scrutiny of about 4,000 literature websites by more than 50 ‘experts’  the General Administration of Press and Publication (GAPP) said in a statement on Tuesday.

These ‘experts’, the moral minority who decide what is edifying and what is smutty sex masturbation material that should be banned, intend to include all pornographic content, use of  provocative or privacy-violating titles to draw attention, or blatantly talk about one-night stands, wife swapping, sex abuses, and other such sex masturbation material, and violence that ‘disregards common decency’ the GAPP said.

The administration would also establish laws and regulations on the publishing of literature online; Xinhua quoted the statement, as saying.

In June, the government ordered all new personal computers produced or sold in China after July 1 to carry “Green Dam-Youth Escort,” a filtering software designed to block sex masturbation content.

Following huge controversy, the software was declared not compulsory by the government in August as Internet users accused it of privacy invasion and blocking information. However, with GAPP in firm control of what can be blocked, banned and suppressed, do not expect to be settling down in front of your PC in the Shanghai Hilton to have a nice cosy sex masturbation session with your favorite porn site.
