BEIJING - Chinese are more ignorant about sex
than any other subject, the official Xinhua news agency quoted
a sex expert as saying Thursday.

"In the survey we conducted, not only youngsters but many
grown-ups are sex idiots, which is really dangerous and
woeful," Xinhua quoted Xu Tianming, president of the China
Sexology Society, as telling a seminar.

"More Chinese are ignorant about sex than about other
knowledge, even including those having received higher
education and experts of other fields," he was quoted as
saying.

Xu himself demonstrated a unique understanding of the
subject, saying people could only enjoy a normal sex life until
the age of 25. He added that meant teenagers should be allowed
to socialize more freely with members of the opposite sex.

"Parents and society should allow them to have normal
contacts with the opposite sex, such as dancing, and to read
some books with certain sex descriptions," Xu said.

Attitudes about sex have relaxed since Communist China
began market reforms in the late 1970s, opening the doors to
teenage dating and also creating a huge increase in adultery
and divorce.
