From USA Today- Last week we told you about preparations to open a sex theme park, called Love Land, in China.

Today we can report that China has shut down and demolished the park in the southwest city of Chongqing. Or, as the state newspaper the China Daily writes, the park “just lacked the staying power.”

“With its adult and explicit themes, the country’s first sex theme park proved to be ‘too hot’ for local authorities, and was torn down over the weekend,” the paper says.

The manager of the park, which was to open in October, had envisioned the park as promoting sex education and “harmonious sex” but the local government called it “vulgar, ill-minded and misleading,” the Daily reports.

The park featured a giant torso of a woman wearing a red thong as well a giant replica genital on a wall, an exhibition on the history of sex as well as sex technique workshops.

The paper quotes Xia Xueluan, a sociology professor at Peking University, as saying he is not surprised by the local government’s action: “Sex is a matter of privacy. It is not for publicity.”
