[quote=GUEST101,272627]The recent  release of " Nude Pics of  Hong Kong celebs dominated the newsstand and other media.  The British Guardian published an article " In the new China, sex can still be the stuff of scandal". Partly this statement is true. Although Chinese people have become more open than before, talking about sex can still be a taboo.  Yesterday the All-China Women's Federation published a survey, stating that sex education at home is "seriously deficient".

( The following is an excerpt of the result of the survey from Xinhua) 
  <<<The study polled more than 5,000 school students aged six to 17, and about 6,500 parents from 28 cities and counties in 10 provinces and regions.

Most of the children surveyed said they would like to ask their parents questions about sex, but a majority of moms and dads said they were too embarrassed to answer.

For example, 54 percent of parents said they had never talked with their children about how to deal with sexual harassment, while less than 30 percent said they had provided only limited advice.

Han Siping, a researcher with the Hangzhou Education Research Institute in Zhejiang province, said: "When children are unable to get the information they need from parents and teachers, their thirst for knowledge will drive them to find answers online, or from pornography or movies."

Sixty percent said they wanted to learn how to help their children with psychological health issues, while 49 percent were keen to know how to offer good moral guidance.>>

Undoubtedly, Chinese parents do hope to help their children to go through the adolescence peacefully, but they are just too shy to talk about sex with their children. Usuallly, Chinese parents feel very embarassed when they talk about sex in front of their kids.  Will you talk about sex in front of their children.[/quote]
