Sexual Attitudes and Behavior of Chinese University Students in Shanghai
TL;DRAbstract
AbstractA questionnaire survey on the sexual attitudes and behavior of Chinese university students in Shanghai was performed using the stratified random sampling procedure. The rates of masturbation and homosexual experience were much lower than those of the Western youths in the same age range. Their rate of petting was higher than that of the university students in other parts of China but their rate of coital experience remained low. The students showed permissive attitudes to dating, premarital sex, extramarital sex and sexual chastity, but less so on masturbation, homosexuality or pornography. The female students had low gender acceptance. How these findings could be understood in the context of a Chinese city undergoing rapid modernization and their implications for the future development of Chinese sexuality and sex education is discussed.
