I don’t want others having the impression that Chinese people are robots with no cocks or pussies… or they do have sexual genitals but always keep them as some secret treasures. I want to say that our cocks and pussies are not embarrassing at all.
I do not know what is pornography. If we say that nudity is pornography, sex is erotic, then I too love porn! Eros filled my life! I think nudity is the most realistic. I like real.
People come into this world naked and I consider naked bodies to be people’s original, authentic look.
I don’t intentionally push boundaries, it’s just do what I do.
Nudes are there since always. We were born nude. So talking about revolution, I don’t think there’s anything to revolutionize.
I just want to organize parties, not tell a story: everything you see in the pictures you can find in real life.
