By and large, young people in Chinalack adequate sex education and guidance from teachers or parents, the 2007 Guangdong Sex Report issued earlier this week says.
New Delhi, Aug 25 : By and large, young people in Chinalack adequate sex education and guidance from teachers or parents, the 2007 Guangdong Sex Report issued earlier this week says.
According to the report,over 90 percent of the 504 high-school students surveyed claimed they consulted peers or read books when they encountered problems or questions about sex.
Less than four percent of the 504 teenagers surveyed chose to discuss sexual matters with teachers or parents. As many as 67 percent of them said they have never discussed sex with their parents.
At the same time, more than 60 percent said they wished their parents could be more open about sex, while about 40 percent said the current curriculum on sex seemed outdated.
As teachers and parents do not offer enough or proper sex education, about 70 percent of the students said they browsed pornographic books, movies or websites.
Even though more than 60 percent of high-school students still consider it important to remain a virgin until marriage, almost 40 percent said it is "unimportant" or had no opinion. This ratio is much higher than it used to be.
The outcome of a similar survey conducted among college students showed 30 percent of the 4,109 surveyed oppose cohabitation.
Two-thirds of college students do not object to premarital sex, but 53.4 percent of male college students said they wouldn't marry their girlfriends if they were not virgins.
The educational authorities are striving to expand and improve sex education for young people.
The national annual sex festival will kick off in Guangzhou in November.
During the festival, a forum on sex will be held in Guangzhou No 4 Middle School, which will invite sex experts to talk about relevant issues with middle-school students.
This will be the country's first sex forum to be held in a middle school.
