Reviving Passion in Marriage: China’s ‘Sexual Appeal Training Camp’ Sparks Controversy
China has witnessed the emergence of a unique ‘sexual appeal training camp’ aimed at housewives, with the goal of preventing their husbands from cheating. However, this initiative has been met with strong criticism from the local community.
According to a report by Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post (SCMP), the camp was held for two days in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, last July. The participation fee for this camp was 2,999 yuan (approximately 560,000 won) per person. The poster for the event read, “Sex appeal is about women taking control of their lives,” and participants were required to wear tight clothing and black stockings.
During the camp, participants learned ‘seductive art’ techniques, including kissing, sensual dancing, and playfully tearing stockings. Role-playing exercises were also conducted to help participants learn how to express attraction in intimate situations. The women who attended the camp ranged in age from 35 to 55, including housewives at risk of divorce and single mothers. One participant shared, “I came to this program to bring passion back into my marriage.” The camp helped participants build self-esteem and believe that middle-aged women can be powerful and attractive.
One of the female trainers, who wished to remain anonymous, referred to herself as a “senior therapist.” Another trainer, known by the stage name ‘Elf,’ is a famous influencer with 120,000 followers on Douyin. However, SCMP was unable to find any information about the Sex Appeal Camp or the trainers on the Sexuality Society’s official website.
The ‘Sex Appeal Training Camp’ has sparked a strong backlash on social networking services (SNS) in mainland China. Netizens have expressed their criticism, stating that the camp is “unethical” and “takes advantage of women who are vulnerable and insecure about their lives.” Others have suggested that improving inner charm through education and self-improvement is a more effective approach.
China’s ‘Sexual Appeal Training Camp’ has ignited a heated debate about the role of women in marriage and the importance of self-esteem and confidence. While some have praised the initiative for promoting women’s empowerment, others have criticized it for being exploitative and misguided.
