I kinda like it. We never get the sense that Chinese cultures are erotically playful... Didn't know they had it in 'em.

Well, I guess we knew they had it in 'em, since there's 1.3 billion Chinese.....

Blacks call ladies displaying nice bums "apple bottoms" but thanks to the Chinese I now want to rename them "thong peaches"

Y'all with me?

Correction should be:

*thonged peaches"

Crid,

Asian eroticism is all about saccharine little girl cuteness not sexiness.

Unlike us Latins, we don't ask for much just big titties and a big ass.

Crid, Chinese culture has a public face which is very stoic and very much against public-displays of affection. But, in private they can be some very horny folks.

After all, the Chinese were writing erotic fiction (some might call it plain old porn) several hundred years ago while we in the West were still sitting around just reading "the good book" and not much else.

It was the Chinese who developed the culture of bound-feet - sort of like permanent high heels - which is about other things but also about sex.

Another example would be the photo of Amy in her long yellow evening gown (love that photo! BTW, Amy) - if that were a traditional Chinese qipao it would be just as form fitting but it might have slits going up the side to just below waist level with the intention of exposing more leg.

These peach panties are a sign that China's middle class is growing and getting richer. And that sex sells should really be no surprise - as you say there are over a billion of them.

The most populous country in the world, right?

Name three other. well-known instances of Chinese erotic humor from the last twenty years.

Okay, name one.

Okay.

Us Scots-Irish know how this works. Potatoes, elemental protein, bad weather...

"Asian eroticism is all about saccharine little girl cuteness not sexiness."

It also, ahem, applies to men as well.

*checks his fruit* They're safe in boxer-briefs.

Not that fruit? oh.

So what you're saying is, Fruit of the Loom's got it totally backwards...

As opposed to the totally normal American custom of putting confections in a box intended to represent and internal organ.

> *checks his fruit*

Via Twitterer Jack Shafer, the preferred description is "Wedding vegetables."

Hmm... liver-shaped sampler boxes... whaddya think?
