“Marriage is like water. You have to drink it. Swinging is like wine. Some people feel it’s delicious the first time they try it, so they keep drinking. Some people try it and think it tastes bad, so they never drink it again.”
—Ma Yaohai, a resident of China who has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison for what the government calls “crowd licentiousness,” i.e., engaging in group sex. The 53-year-old Ma was a member of swingers’ clubs who held some 18 orgies in the two-bedroom apartment that he shared with his mother. China’s laws against sex acts involving three or more people are punishable by prison terms of up to five years.
