Not that the West invented sexual freedom. Medieval Asian courts were the originals for Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion. Ancient India produced the Kama Sutra, setting an all-time sexiness standard for religious texts. China's Tao, or "The Way," cemented for centuries the uniquely Chinese concept that spiritual fulfillment demands good sex - and lots of it.
