Chinese ‘Tantric sex centre’ shut down

Beijing, March 22 (TruthDive): Authorities have shut down a ‘Tantric sex centre’ in China which was literally a underground sex-therapy ring. The members were coaxed into promiscuous sex as a therapy to relieve tension. The centre was run under a mountain in Guangdong province. A watchdog and police had suspected the group of brainwashing members into performing various sex acts, claiming that it would help relieve their tension.
According to reports, the raid took place on Tuesday after an undercover investigative story by Yangcheng Evening News, a local Guangdong news outlet, drew public attention. A reporter from the newspaper pretended to be an interested client and participated in some courses to observe the facility’s operations. The reporter also talked with some members and facility workers, including the woman under detention.
The media investigation showed the facility charged exorbitant rates for variously-themed “spiritual and body training” courses. During the classes, members, who were given strangers as partners, were invited to indulge in intimate movements such as blowing wind at and rubbing each others’ body parts as part of the exercise.
The reporter found that during some “advanced courses” which were even more costly, the students were even encouraged to have intercourse inside classrooms. The idea was to implant the belief of unrestricted sex practice in members’ minds to achieve so-called liberty, peace and harmony of body and spirit, according to the report.
The facility had attracted at least 100 members for its recent programs, most of them office workers or business professionals from across the country, including from Shanghai and Macau, police said.
Chinese officials have detained a woman for organising classes that allegedly involved lewd behaviour and the facility was shut down.
Police also discovered naked photos of the woman in various provocative poses, a report in the official media here said. The centre was unoccupied during the raid and the suspect, identified as Cheng, is currently under investigation.

A so-called Tantra training center in a dilapidated house located deep inside a mountain in south China's Guangdong Province has been busted by local police and watchdog on suspicion that it brainwashed members and coaxed them into promiscuous sex as a therapy to relieve tension.
A woman member surnamed Cheng, who was assigned to lure people to register for the rather expensive training programs, has been detained by police, with the facility shut down. Qin Mingyuan, the "master and mentor" who is believed to have established the facility, remains at large, police said.
