China.

China was a sexually prudish society under Mao. I remember a chapter in a book, I think it was Spider Eaters by Rae Yang, titled "Red Guards Didn't Have Sex."  That was ingrained in me when I went to Beijing the second time and I wrote of the discomfiture I experienced upon entering the Gao Brothers studio in one of the "Beijing, November 2008" articles. China had changed.
