A restaurant in China, which had provocatively dressed male waiters, has been shut down by authorities after videos show waiters feeding women diners mouth-to-mouth.

The eatery, known as the 'Macho Restaurant', operated in the popular tourist spot of Xishuangbanna Dai autonomous prefecture, in Yunnan province.  

The waiters, tall and muscular, donned revealing tank tops or went shirtless, engaging in seductive dance routines aimed at entertaining the predominantly female clientele. Some of the routines involved suggestive dancing, pole dancing-like moves termed as "rod licking," and intimate acts like feeding female customers mouth-to-mouth, wiping their mouths, and offering shoulder massages, reports NDTV.

The restaurant adopted a Thai theme, calling itself "Thai Drum Thai Drum Thai Cuisine", with a prominent sign proclaiming "Macho Restaurant upstairs", as per the outlet.

While some social media users supported the authorities' decision to close the restaurant, others argued that it should have been allowed to restrict entry for minors, as they saw nothing wrong with adults enjoying such entertainment.
