China’s first adult shop
Located on East Fuchengmen Road in Beijing’s Xicheng District, the Adam & Eve Health Center sells adult health products including contraceptives, pregnancy test reagents, aphrodisiacs, sexual intercourse supplements, masturbation products, glamorous underwear and etc. The small shop of approximately 20 square meters enjoyed great popularity for a time during the 1990s and was described by foreign reports at that time as “a kind of symbol of China’s reform and opening to the outside world”.
The exhibition style of the products in the shop is comparatively “implicit and low-pitched”, according to a recent Beijing Youth Daily report. Sales women wearing white gowns are polite and courteous but leave customers to choose products by themselves. Conversations, if any, are conducted in a very low voice.
