Peach Industry: China Sex Therapy Survey

Under the Canghe River is the name of a secluded street in HangzhouTong's studio here is only two or three hundred metres from the bustling stadium road - the distance between absolute privacy and the hustle and bustle of the cityCommissioned in the combination of Chinese and Western medicine clinic, gastroenterology research institute and other posters behind the "Hangzhou Baoshantang Sex Center", that is, "Taiwan Sex Health Management Center Hangzhou Branch Center" does not have any of their own logoIt uses a deliberate low profile to create as much security as possible for visitorsEven if you walk into the clinic area, there is no text to indicate what is the department here, each room door closed, the door is nailed to the same sign -treatmentroomIn order to avoid the embarrassment of visitors encountering each other, "seeing a doctor" has a strict appointment systemThus, unlike the clamor in a general hospital, there are no waiting patients in the corridor, and visitors "flash into" the scheduledtreatmentroom as soon as they arrive hereIn fact, there are no "patients" or "patients" here, and everyone who comes to seek treatment is called a "case" by Tong and her colleaguesOn the Internet, 41-year-old Tong Yuzhen is known as "Taiwan's first sex therapist." Eight years ago, she opened a "sex clinic" at Guangchuan Hospital in New Taipei, Taiwan, and then opened a sexual health management center in TaipeiIn the past two years, she has expanded her sexual therapy business in Wuhan and HangzhouAlthough the time to enter the mainland is not long, but Tong Yuzhen seems to have been the sex academic circles of the "circle of people." August 29-31, 2014, the 6th World Congress of Chinese Sexologists and The Academic Forum on Sexual Therapy was held in HangzhouAs the undertaker, Tong Yuzhen invited a large number of Chinese sexologists and practitioners from home and abroadA secret industry, a huge crowd, they gathered here, those people usually difficult to talk about the topic to the podium, put on the table to talk.　　"Catching the birds" Tong Yuzhen has been a nurse at Changyu Hospital in Taiwan for 12 years She had seen in the orthopaedic ward that the severely injured fractured patient was bandaged and her legs were suspended high, and in that case, she was not forgotten to be intimate with his visiting wife Such a scenario triggered her thoughts, not contempt and disgust Tong said that she chose to do this job, "as if God has given me a mission." She went on to earn a master's degree from the Institute of Human Sexuality at Shude University of Science and Technology in Taiwan, the only university in Taiwan that specializes in sexology Later, Tong Yuzhen has obtained the American Society of Sexuality (ACS) Institute of Clinical Sexscientists, Germany" Tantra performance development workshop and other institutions issued by the authority of the qualification, become a well-known sex therapist in Taiwan Compared to the low profile in reality, sex therapists are very active in the virtual world They blog and blog online, explain all kinds of sexual knowledge, persuade people to pay attention to "sexual health", combine the stories they encounter at work, analyze all kinds of sexual annoyances.. On the website of Hangzhou Baoshantang, the words "Tong Yuzhen - taiwan's first person in sexual therapy", "the largest and most authoritative sex therapy room" and "revolutionary breakthrough in the field of Chinese sex therapy" scrolled back and forth on the front page As an industry that remains secretive in reality, sex therapists' high profile on the Internet has become a means for them to attract people to visit What exactly is sex therapy? Tong's explanation is simple: "Sex therapy is to guide others on how to have sex." She continued, "Of course, the therapist doesn't have sex with the patient In fact, in the United States, there are also sex therapists who have sex with patients, which is mainly to help people with disabilities to solve their physical needs between their beds, so also called 'sexual substitutes' When she said this, she put away her professional smile and looked serious Unlike the various treatments in the hospital, Tong's sexual treatment is not prescribed or prescribed In the usual total of 6 sessions, each 1.5 hours of treatment, "cases" only need to sit comfortably on the sofa or lying on the treatment bed, under the guidance of the female therapist sweet Chinese to reveal their hearts, resolve the knot, and then receive behavioral therapy, in order to solve their own life indescribable but vital trouble Of course, they pay a lot for it - although Tong is reluctant to talk about the cost, according to people familiar with the matter, the cost of a course of treatment is about Rmb30,000 to Rmb50,000 How exactly does behavioral therapy work? 'It's not possible for outsiders to watch the process, ' mr Tong said Especially when "consultation" on "cases" is to ensure that the "one-to-one" approach is carried out, and even her assistant cannot be present Despite this, Tong described in her book "Sex TherapistSities Teach You To Have Good Sex": "At the moment, in the Chinese world, only my team is doing one-on-one 'catch birds' sex treatments." "The best explanation for this sentence is a "large-scale" photograph on the official website of Taiwan's "Yu" As for the treatment, Tong explained, "Our hands will move to him, but we are wearing gloves." I would tell him, 'Now you have to focus, we're going to do sexy training, which is a very important concept in sex therapy, called sexy intensive training.' You wear an eye mask, you have sex with your own ideas, you are not with me, you are with your own ideas In fact, a large part of this treatment requires "cases" to come home and do it themselves after becoming familiar with the process, not just in the clinic In other sex treatment centers, some therapists follow the principle of "gentleman's mouth" and only give lectures and TV presentations, and then ask customers to go back to do "homework" There are also treatments that require special devices, which can only be done in the treatment room For example, for women's common vaginal spasms, usually with the comfort and help of sex therapists, try to grow from small to large male instruments, so that the recipient learns to adapt gradually On the website of "Yu" you can see Tong-Jin holding a male dildo with a cloth seam in hand to explain how to self-massage Since "entering" the mainland, Tong has received about 300 "cases" from all over the country By contrast, Taiwan, about a third the size of Zhejiang Province, receives two or three hundred visits a year Tong believes that the mainland sex treatment market has yet to be developed What effect will this sex treatment have? There is no way for outsiders to know about this One Chongqing man, who used to be a "case" of Tong Yuzhen, said of his experience of treatment, "in fact, with their help to 'fly'." "Is this beyond the scope of sexual therapy?" In this regard, the senior domestic sexologist Ma Xiaonian said, "the patient has not had an erection for two years, if successful in the sex therapist, is an improvement." The website of Hangzhou Baoshantang, the "Viagra Revolution", has posted a photo of Ma Xiaonian and Tong Yuzhen on its home page to prove the authority of this sexual therapy organization This shows that Ma Xiaoyin china's sex science field of "the status of the river and lake." However, if you walk into Ma Xiaonian's sexual medicine clinic at Yuquan Hospital in Beijing, you will find that his "old nest" is not commensurate with his "status" There is far less of a treatment room for Tong Yuzhen that is "tall" Sitting in a wall painted, only a few square meters of the clinic, full of white-haired Ma Xiaonian with a low voice squeezed out of his throat, said, "My sexual medicine department, is not engaged." In 1996, 51-year-old Ma Xiaonian voluntarily applied to be transferred from the National Family Planning Commission's research institute and opened a sexual medicine clinic at Yuquan Hospital outside Beijing's West Fourth Ring Road Nearly 20 years have passed since then, and so far only two public hospitals in the country have sex clinics - in addition to Yuquan Hospital and the Infertility and Sexual Medicine Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhongshan University, which Zhang Bin presides over in Guangzhou Ma Xiaonian said that the department was founded at the beginning, as the hospital's characteristic outpatient clinic, has been the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau and hospital support But in 2003, Yuquan Hospital was admitted by Tsinghua University as an affiliated hospital, adjusted the development center of gravity, sexual medicine was marginalized, funding will be stretched Today, compared with Beijing's "three-a- a" hospital overcrowded situation, but "two-a" Yuquan hospital patients are not many, the door is somewhat deserted, the department of sexual medicine is sitting on a cold bench - plus Ma Xiaonian a total of only two doctors, about two or three patients a day "mu" to come.
