tutorials and a baby-making contest on television may be Singapore's latest
answer to falling birthrates.
Dr Love "Singapore's self-styled sex guru Wei Siang Yu" has come up with some
unique methods to fire up libidos. . The flamboyant medical doctor told
AFP that he is preparing to launch a midnight television talk show, which he
hopes will rekindle passions and encourage couples to procreate. . "We
will have people come and talk about their love lives and private lives. We will
also talk about their strategies on love, basically allowing them to talk,
listen, understand and analyse," said the Australia-trained doctor. . One
of the programme's highlights will be the bathtub tutorials, conducted by Dr
Wei, involving real-life couples. . "We will teach couples how to massage
each other in a bathtub," said the founder of US-based Meggpower.com, which
dispenses health information to subscribers via SMS. . But don't expect to
see any naked bodies. Said Dr Wei: "This is not pornography, this is
'edu-tainment'." . The talkshow will be followed in the third quarter of
the year by a reality television programme called Dr Love Superbaby Making
Show. Ten couples from different countries will compete in a "baby race" in
Singapore to be the first to conceive within a time frame. . Dr Wei, who
is not married, will closely monitor the couples' hormonal cycles and recommend
changes in their diets to aid conception. Seduction strategies will also be
featured. . His announcements came hot on the heels of repeated urgings
from the Government for married couples to reverse the country's reproductive
slow-down. The fertility rate fell to a historic low of 1.37 per woman in 2002,
well below the rate of 2.1 per woman, which demographers say is necessary to
replenish the population naturally. . Dr Wei shot to fame last April when
he launched iDream, where couples finding it difficult to have children take a
"love boat" to a luxury resort with the sole purpose of baby-making. He also
revealed new plans for a "love plane", which will fly couples to romantic
hideaways in Asia with the same objective. . Dr Wei remarked that a
Government programme giving cash incentives to encourage couples to have more
children was inadequate. . "Not everything can be addressed by a national
kind of policy-making ... Money does not solve everything. . "Somebody has
got to look at the emotions of people. It's about being happy and having some
emotional actualisation as a person," he said. Channel NewsAsia It will all
