1 Night in China video phenomenon

Joanie Marie Laurer was born on December 27, 1969 in Rochester, New York. Joanie is an American actress and retired professional wrestler. A former bodybuilder, she is best known for her appearances with the World Wrestling Federation between 1997 and 2001, where she was known as Chyna and nicknamed "The Ninth Wonder of the World" (with the eighth wonder being Andr? the Giant).

Laurer has modeled nude, notably for Playboy; the issue which featured a pictorial of her was one of the ten best selling issues in the magazine's history. In 2002, following her departure from WWF/WWE, Laurer also appeared in a softcore porn video produced and distributed by Playboy, entitled "Joanie Laurer: Nude Wrestling Superstar".

In her autobiography, If Only They Knew, Laurer revealed that her breast implants were custom made after she complained to her plastic surgeon that their largest implants didn't suit her frame in the way she desired. Laurer's custom implants became the model for the Chyna 2000s, a model of breast implant marketed to large framed women and female body builders. Later in the book, Laurer revealed that the structural integrity of the Chyna 2000 prototypes was relatively weak, and that one of them ruptured during a wrestling match, necessitating surgery.

Since 2003, Laurer has carried on a love-hate relationship with wrestler Sean Waltman (X-Pac / Syxx-Pac). They were engaged for a period in 2003, then broke up, then became engaged again, a pattern which continued for the next two years. In 2004, it was revealed that Laurer and Waltman made a sex tape during a vacation to China earlier that year. Eager for a repeat success, the company that released Paris Hilton's celebrity sex tape obtained the footage, edited it, and released it under the name 1 Night in China. The video became an internet phenomenon, due largely in part to a scene in the film in which Waltman performs cunnilingus on Laurer, causing the camera to focus on Laurer's unusually large clitoris, which also appeared to have a fully formed glans. Using Laurer's height of five feet, ten inches (or 1.778 meters) as a base reference, it can be determined that her clitoris is roughly 2.5 inches (or 6.35 centimeters) in length. An anal sex scene between Laurer and Waltman revealed severe acne on Laurer's buttocks, which many bodybuilders who viewed the tape pointed out as a telltale sign of steroid abuse.

In a press release, Laurer announced that in a pre-emptive strike she had taken full rights to the footage and would receive a percentage from sales. However, she later claimed that she had received no royalties.

"The video was something that my boyfriend and I taped for our own personal pleasure," explained Laurer. "However, when it got into an outside party's hands, I said, 'I'll make a preemptive strike and release the video myself.' Besides, I'm proud of my performance in the video and feel confident that my fans throughout the world will love it."
