Shanghai students who were asked a variety of question about their sexuality were stopped by seven of the region's university administrators because they were worried that it might give make students "indulge in sexual fantasy."



"At least seven prestigious universities have rejected the survey." said a researcher from the Shanghai Andrology Institute, "Some said it was because it would involve disclosing private information, some asked for payment, and some even said the survey would disturb students' minds, making them indulge in sexual fantasy."



The survey, sponsored by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of Population and Family Planning, aims to get accurate information on students' sexual health, behaviors and levels of awareness to better inform education initiatives.



So far, less than half the planned work has been completed.

"Problems uncovered so far are rather serious," said Chen, since many students' main source of information was pornography rather than balanced and realistic sources, and their knowledge of basic sexual health was generally poor.



The researcher said that some had never heard of the rhythm method and "ninety percent hoped their universities would run elective courses on sexual health."

The fact that universities, a place of learning, are worried about engaging the minds of their students seems quite hippocritical. Maybe if there was some form of discussion, or access to " balanced and realistic sources", from these so called university administrators, the students knowledge would not be so poor!
mad mad
what's the point of limited education?

Does anyone else realize the irony? The headline of this news article is one of the metaphors that the other story is complaining about.

Since when do college students need a survey to inspire sexual fantasy? Especially when they already have a bunch of Shanghai porn.

we are talking about shanghai, china right??? because im surprised that not only do they have prestigious universities, but that the government did not object to these sex surveys way before the universities even had a chance to consider giving them. hell were talking about a county that limits the birth rate of thier country. am i wrong, is shanghai not in china, is china a bastion of personal freedom????
