Managerial personnel at unive
3、rsities worry that those little boxes will trigger more sexual activity, while students argue that college authorities should not treat them like children. One day in mid-April, a student cafeteria in Tianjins Nankai University was bustling with unusual excitement over a new vending machine. Though
4、seemingly ordinary, the vending machine grabbed students attention. While most female students hurried away after glancing at it, male students gathered in small groups in the vicinity, whispering about it. Some even went forward to have a closer look and then told their fellow students, laughing, “
5、There really are some in it. “ It was a condom vending machine, and condoms were the “some“ the students talked about. This scene has also happened on other college campuses. In July 1999, the Shanghai Jiaotong University installed a similar machine on the second floor of its clinic. One month later
6、, condom vending machines appeared at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and at the end of October, they appeared on the campus of the Anhui University. In early March of this year, a sex-related health-care products shop opened in the student living quarters at the Wuhan Engineering University, the fi

Encouraged by these results, the committee decided to introduce the practice in a larger area. It first thought of college students, a sign
10、ificant component of society. According to statistics, more than 50 percent of the AIDS sufferers in China are aged between 20 and 29. Therefore, the committee intended to put the condom vending machines on college campuses. This idea was rejected by the Shanghai Teachers University. Wang Qun, an of
11、ficial of the university in charge of student management, is a strong opponent. “No leader or department in our university is ready to accept putting a condom vending machine somewhere on campus,“ she says, asking, “ If something happens as a result of this, who will bear the responsibility?“ In con

Its true that some students have gone a bit too far sexually, but they are isolated cases. “ The survey made by the Shanghai Jiaotong University indicates that the users of
18、condom vending machines include members of the teaching staff, students and off-campus visitors. “Its normal to have sex,“ says a female Shanghai college student. She argues that sexual relationships meet basic needs of any normal person when he or she reaches a certain age, saying, “ Many of us col

We are not as young as our parents think we are. We should be allowed to do what we want to do. “ “
32、 Though rare, sexual behavior exists among college students,“ notes a male sophomore in the Political Science Department of the Nankai University. Its natural for them to use condoms, he believes, and nothing to be ashamed of. Liu Dalin is a scholar engaged in cultural research. He believes that col
33、lege students sexual desires are stronger today than in the past. Several years ago, he conducted a survey on premarital sex among 20,000 college students. The survey found that 10 percent of the male students had sex before marriage. “This rate has obviously been rising in recent years,“ Liu says.
34、He notes that members of the younger generation are generally more sexually precocious, and their first ejaculation or menstrual period is commonly one or one and a half years earlier than of kids in the 1950s. Improved living standards and better nutrition account heavily for this, while the influe
35、nce of different cultures disseminated through the mass media also holds a considerable weight. Earlier maturation in sex-related psychology inevitably leads to earlier sexual needs, a phenomenon commonly found in many countries and regions during their development. “Its a good thing,“ says Liu. “Ho
36、w could it be good for impoverished boys who dont have enough food to suffer undergrowth when they are 17 or 18?“ “ Its not an embarrassing thing to put condom machines on campus,“ says sociologist Hu Shensheng. “We shouldnt wait until it becomes necessary. Even though there are only a few sexual re
37、lationships that exist right now, condoms should be available. “ However, this practice has met strong opposition from Shanghai residents. Most of them are afraid that condom machines will produce negative effects on students. (分数:71.00)(1).Some students may also worry that handing out free condoms
