Zhou Yuan

Zhou Yuan, a woman in her late 40s from Changsha, Hunan province, China, is an online influencer known as the "Godmother of sexual intelligence." She previously worked in banking and owned a beauty salon before founding the Black and White Sexual Intelligence School. Zhou Yuan teaches women techniques like seductive gazes and flirtation, aiming to help them rejuvenate their marriages and enhance their sexual appeal. She is newsworthy because, despite being banned from social media earlier in the year, she has reappeared online to sell her controversial courses. It is alleged that she has earned 24 million yuan (US$3.5 million) from these online and offline courses. Her continued activity and financial success highlight the demand for and controversy surrounding such content in China.
