A Study On Sexual Attitudes and Behaviour of Young people in Shanghai

Abstract

This research focuses on the updated sexual attitudes and behaviour of young people in Shanghai and finds that males have more open sex attitudes than females. However, their knowledge about how to have safe sex is rather limited, and most of them receive sex-related knowledge mainly from peers and the internet. As a result, it is important to integrate the experience of sex education programs and social workers' intervention strategies from Hong Kong and other countries in order to cultivate a more systematic sex education system in Shanghai.

本研究旨在了解時下上海青少年的性態度和行為，發現上海青少男比青少女對性更為開放，但是卻對安全性行為的概念十分模糊，他們普遍會在朋友和互聯網上取得性知識。有見及此，建議參考香港和外國的性教育及社會工作者的經驗，為其建立一套整全的性教育制度，有助青少年健康成長。
