Out of sight
One survey has suggested that 75% of young Chinese learn about sex through pornography or porn websites, and computers certainly offer young people the chance to find out about sex in private.
…Counsellor Tang Weiyao confirmed that even the most highly educated Chinese could be ignorant about sex.

For many other young people it is the opposite problem. They are exploring their sexuality without knowing how to protect themselves.

High levels of unprotected sex among young people are ringing alarm bells. Figures over the last few years show sky-rocketing rates of sexual transmitted infection [STI], according to Zhao Pengfei from the World Health Organization.
“We see, every year, 30 to 40% increases in the reported STI cases. Once HIV-Aids is introduced into that group it can be dangerous for the young generation,” he said.
A recent survey has suggested that one fifth of people in China have never heard of Aids.
Hum, worrying…
