Though it's impossible to tell from this clip (or any of the others that we've seen, for that matter), "Jue Ming Pai Dui"—or "Invitation Only," if you prefer—is apparently a horror/thriller film. Thankfully, the director was kind enough to let Ms. Ozawa show off some of her sensual charms before subjecting her to whatever nasty fate the film has in store.

For one thing, Maria's gotten a tattoo on her back. And for another, she's somehow wound up in Taiwan (or at least the cover of FHM Taiwan). And, and—well, we're sure there's a lot of other things that have happened to her, but since we don't read Chinese (that is Chinese, right?), we're at a bit of a loss to understand it all.

But the important thing is, we're looking at hot picture of Maria right now. (And really, isn't this moment all that matters?)

In spite of its Catholic roots, Providence has added a course on the appreciation of pornography to its roster. According to XBiz, the class "involves viewing, analyzing and learning to appreciate pornography from an academic perspective. As a course requirement, students will have to analyze audience behavior in reaction to a porn clip and present their findings to the class." We're guessing there won't be a section called Rim My Gape 101—but if there were, we would so fly out to Taiwan for that.

South African-born film producer and photographer Tobie Openshaw's fascinating "Betelnut Beauties" project explores the curious (and curiously sexy) world of Taiwan's betelnut girls (Bin Lang Xi Hsi), paid models who fall somewhere between race queens and pink box workers in the list of reasons why life in parts of Asia is so much more interesting than it is in the West: "They sit in brightly-decorated glass booths wearing skimpy outfits, and sell cigarettes, drinks and betelnut to passing drivers. It's a controversial trade but not actually illegal. The question of whether the girls are exploited is open to debate—certainly their own perception is mostly that they are doing a job like any other, and the less they choose to wear, the more they sell."

CantikFotos is the internet handle of a rogue secret agent who lives in Taiwan and travels around Southeast Asia in the guise of an erotic nude photographer. Actually, the Taiwan part is true ... the rest is just a backstory we made up since we weren't able to dig up any other info about the man behind this huge collection of Flickr photos. He does travel around Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan and other parts unknown, shooting fabulous portraits of exotic women in equally exotic locales. He probably doesn't use these photo shoots as cover for international espionage, but the pictures are still mysterious and intriguing all on their own. We didn't have to steal any state secrets to share them with you, either.

We've seen a lot here at the global sexual culture clearinghouse popularly known as Fleshbot, but we're pretty sure that is that first Taiwanese BDSM site we've ever come across. I'm sure the repressive gatekeepers in China probably have their hands over their eyes so they can't see the party right next door at their rebellious neighbor's house. But liberation comes in many forms, and I'd like to think groups like this are a harbinger of a brighter future for the mainland Chinese (outside of Hong Kong) who I'm sure like to hurt each other in the name of lust just as much as their brethren a hop, skip, and a spank across the Taiwanese Strait. Read the introduction in English and enjoy the various rope bondage and other BDSM galleries here.A. Tolesco
