Banned 'Sexual Intelligence' Influencer Reappears, Allegedly Made $3.5 Million

A Chinese social media influencer, banned earlier this year for "vulgar" content, has returned online. Zhou Yuan, known as the "Godmother of Sexual Intelligence," continues to sell her controversial courses. Zhou teaches women how to increase their sexual appeal. Her account, which had 200,000 followers, was removed from major platforms in January. According to Chinese media outlet Red Star News, Zhou has allegedly earned 24 million yuan (US$3.5 million) from selling her courses both online and in person. She lives in China's central Hunan province. The report did not specify which new platform she is using. The term "sexual intelligence" refers to strategies for building attraction and navigating relationships.
