Managerial personnel at universities worry tha
3、t 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 seemingly ordinar
4、y, 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, “There really are
5、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, condom vending
6、machines appeared at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and at the end of October, they appeared on the campus of the Anhui University.

10、 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 official of the uni

Given this, the official thinks the better road is to provide positive directions. “If something happens before preventive measures are available, it will cause greater problems, including physiological a

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 college students sex

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. He notes that mem
34、bers 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 influence of different
35、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. “How could it be goo
