China Won't Allow A Sex Theme Park, But a Sex Museum Is Alright

Head a couple of hours out of Shanghai to the smaller Chinese city of Tongli, pull 20 RMB out of your wallet and start your sightseeing: at the China Sex Museum. Not quite the combination you might expect in straight-up-and-down China (and the museum's website is based out of Germany – that'll trick 'em), but it sounds like a worthy afternoon outing.

The main sections in the museum include "Sex in Primitive Society", Marriage and Women (groaningly primitive, we hear), Sex in Daily Life and Unusual Sexual Behavior. Apparently things get pretty explicit so you may not want to take your four-year-old.

There's also a garden out the front which, well, includes some fairly garish statues (and a few sweeter-looking ones too), and a tea pavilion if you need a drink to calm you down. Curiously they also offer meeting and small conference facilities so who knows, you really could end up at the China Sex Museum on a "business trip".

Sex In A Cessna: More Mile High Flights

Ever wonder what the business end of a Mile High Club plane might look like? Thanks to lizmoscop, who follows us on Twitter @Jaunted, we can add another legit company to our previous listing of legit mile high flight companies.

They are Mile High Flights, and that's their sexy plane interior pictured above. Leaving from Gloucestershire Airport (Staverton) in the UK, the airplane, a Cessna Grand Caravan (as opposed to a Chrysler Caravan with the back windows blacked out) is their love machine, and frisky flyers can book it for one of two official Mile High membership flights.

Where To Legally Join The Mile High Club

It has never been more difficult to join the Mile High Club than it is today. Even if two of you successfully make it into the bathroom, that darn space has gotten so small that you can barely go about your usual business; forget sexy affairs.

In response to these hassles, at least two aviation groups have sprung up, solely specializing in flights for Mile High Club membership:

· Erotic Airways
A legit (enough) operation out of Queensland, Australia, they'll fly lovers up in twin-engine Beech H-18S from Redcliffe Airport, Nathan Road, Redcliffe Peninsular. Flights for a couple start at $570 for a 40-minute flight, and include champagne, chocolates, a safe sex kit, and a certificate of Mile High membership.

Tack on another $63 per extra passenger, until the onboard double bed is packed full, should you desire. The semi-NSFW website is worth a glance, if only to be highly entertained at their copious use of the words "sexperience" and "sexpedition."

Party Cruises From Cyprus Developing Reputation For Orgies

Looking for some whipped cream and strawberry contests to liven up your vacation? Apparently they're happening on overnight cruises off the coast of the Cyprus resort of Ayia Napa.

By day, Ayia Napa is a beautiful beach resort and it's at least partly marketed as a family paradise. But locals are furious about the night cruises which attract young party-going tourists that have led to orgy photos being published in Norway.

The Cypriot police check the boats every day once they're back at the port, and have found no evidence of anything illegal going on, so the cruises are continuing. Sounds like Cyprus doesn't want to encourage this but hey, isn't diversifying your tourism industry important these days?

You Can't Legally Join The Mile High Club, But You Can Read About It

You might not be allowed to get frisky onboard Singapore Airlines' A380 with first class bed suites, and you sure aren't fitting into a regular airplane lavatory without arousing suspicion anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you can't at least read about joining the Mile High Club.

The new book, The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories, is a collection of short tales recounting people's experiences putting more than just their tray tables and seatbacks in an upright and locked position.

Spankometers and Italian Chandeliers at Berlin's New Sex Academy

Whether you want to soar to ever-greater heights of sexual rapture, or you're just lousy in bed, a new exhibition in Berlin promises to elevate your snarling skills with more than 50 interactive educational displays. The Amora Sex Academy is the brainchild of French horndog Johan Rizki, who opened a similar sex school in London earlier this year. Among its many exhibits, the academy features life-sized plastic models that visitors can grope and paw to learn about the erogenous zones of the male and female bodies. According to an amusing Reuters story, the museum offers tips on striptease, oral sex, orgasm control, and finding the elusive G-Spot. It's always the last place you look!

The 13th Annual Erotica LA Convention: 'It's Classy'

Los Angeles has a justified reputation as the global epicenter of tastefully done adult entertainment. It makes sense, then, that it has its own Erotica LA show. The expo, which opens its doors for the 13th time this weekend, has become something of a local sensation. It draws all of the city's most prominent adult film stars, many of the area's biggest radio stations, and even a few mainstream celebrities.

This is a show for anyone who's interested in open-mindedly exploring the wonders of human sexuality, delicately probing the thin threads of desire that bind us together in this spiderweb we call humanity. The expo is a safe, nonjudgmental place to indulge in what the French call jouissance, that ineffable rush of heady libinality.

Also: boobies. Acres and acres of boobies. Boobies stretching as far as the eye can see.

Our Top Five Alternatives to China's Dismantled Sex Theme Park

Yes, the picture above is what you think it is: a giant thong-wearing midsection and legs being torn down in China a la Saddam Hussein's Baghdad statue. Except this time, it's not the people tearing it down but the government officials, who have deemed the statue and it's related "Love Land" sex theme park to be too vulgar to open publicly.

Disappointed that we won't be able to walk up to one of these sinks (semi-NSFW) during our next visit to China, we're going in search of similarly stimulating tourist attractions in our own Jaunted archives.

So now let us present you with the Top Five Alternative Sex Destinations to "Love Land:"

Dubai Secretly Turned On By The Idea Of More Beach Liaisons

What other explanation could there be? After an appeals court let lusty beach couple Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors off with a fine instead of jail time, Acors was detained trying to board his flight at Dubai International Monday night on what his lawyer says are unknown charges. It's actually the second time he's been unable to get out of the Emirate that supposedly doesn't want him there, after a procedural snag held him up Friday.

Back in July, Acors and his one-time fling Palmer met at a boozy brunch and ran afoul of the strict rules on PDA in Dubai. Though they say they didn't actually have sex, they did cop to being drunk, also a crime. They could've faced 90 days in prison but were fined instead and ordered deported.

But try as he may, Acors can't get back to London, this time because allegedly his flight confirmation was "not in order," his lawyer told the Times. Maybe the authorities are hoping to set him up on one last date?

Amsterdam Now 20% Less Amsterdammy

It wasn't supposed to happen this way. The idea of making weed and prostitution legal - or quasi-legal - in Amsterdam was meant to remove the criminals from the equation, not encourage more criminals to get involved. But wouldn't you know it, recent years have seen a marked increase in scumbags who roll in to Amsterdam intent on harshing everybody's mellow, and now the gig is up. Authorities in the Dutch capital have had it with the organized crime syndicates who use the coffee shops, peep shows, massage parlors, and other red light businesses to launder money and front gambling parlors, so they're shutting them down. Well, not all of them, just about 20% of the city's special coffee shops in the town center, and an untold number of "windows" where scantily clad prostitutes beckon the lager louts who stagger around on stag parties. So what's left to do in Amsterdam besides getting screwed, blued, and tattooed? Well, the brilliant white light of sobriety and propriety just might steer you to the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, where you can admire the brush strokes of Dutch Masters like Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Steen. Or you could take in a concert at the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, where the Latvian conductor Mariss Jansons leads some of Europe's most talented musicians through a program of classic and modern masterpieces. And if you're feeling sporty, you could watch Amsterdam Ajax play football in Amsterdam Arena. But if it's your destiny to be bad, then start off with a few pints at any of dozens of pubs throughout the city center and then go find your dens of sin. You won't have to go far.

Lusty British Couple Freed By Dubai Court of Appeals

The British couple nabbed on a Dubai beach this summer and convicted of public indecency, drunkenness and having sex outside of marriage won't face prison after winning their case in the emirate's Court of Appeals. The pair, Michelle Palmer and Vince Acors, are still convicts, but instead of spending three months in the clink, they'll simply be deported after paying a 1,000 dirham ($272) fine each.

The duo still insists they didn't actually have sex on the beach, though they do cop to being drunk and making out. (These are admittedly common side effects of an all-you-can-drink champagne brunch.)

While the Britons are thrilled with the decision, it's hardly a green light to disrespect the strict laws of the Muslim emirate, where almost any form of PDA can get you arrested. Besides, risking jail time isn't the only reason we're avoiding Dubai's beaches.

Is Long Distance Dating Killing The Planet?

So you've been eating local, biking to work and using those light bulbs Al Gore said we had to. Being eco-conscious is feeling pretty good, right?

Wrong. Apparently, we all have one more thing to feel eco-guilty about. Well, at least those of us in long-distance relationships.

Slate reports that locawhores are now the new locavores, and you had better quit those every-other-weekend cross-country flights to visit your sweetheart:

The same type of environmental logic has already been applied to our eating habits. The Local Food movement encourages us to cut CO2 emissions by calculating food miles—the distance a meal travels from production to the dinner table—and eating only what's produced within a 100-mile radius. Isn't it time for a Date Local movement, too? Let's start thinking about "sex miles": Just how far was this person shipped to hook up with you? And how many times more efficient would it be to date someone within a 100-mile radius?

Cleary, Jaunted can't get behind this kind of anti-travel, anti-long-distance-hookup stance--particularly now that a new website is here to help get us some action--but we just wanted to make sure everyone knows there's one more thing we're supposed to not be doing.
