China is going through a sexual revolution it seems. The orthodox Chinese society is showing the sign of liberal thinking in at least sexual relations. A Chinese policewoman’s popular website, which help people swap spouses and go for one-night stands, has already sparked rage in the country.
Further the Psychology Consultation Office of Women's Federation, Guangdong province has come out with a strange disclosure.
It showed that 52% of the women, who seek psychological counseling for their marital life, were traumatized by the disloyalty of their husbands.
An emerging sense of tolerance appears to have shacked orthodox Chinese society even as it struggles with a newfound richness and sense of freedom in the young generation of the country.
Extra-marital affairs are being a more common practice in the country. Chinese couples are being influenced by the thought of sexual liberation and freedom coming from western countries. This is hitting hard to the sphere of traditional ethical codes of the country.
On the other hand, another survey conducted in Beijing had revealed that 6.2% of high school students below the age of 16 in China have experienced sex.
Furthermore, almost 50% of the 2,300 students covered in the survey have said that there is nothing wrong in one-night stands.
The policewoman, who is running the website, said that her web-club had attracted members seeking open sex from all over China. Later within one month of his website launching, she lost her job at the police bureau in Liquan County in Shaanxi.
Su has claimed in China Business News by saying that as many as 60,000 people have been now signed up to her spouse-swapping club.
Later, the swinging club issue took a shocking turn when a sociologist, Li Yinhe, permitted the idea. He said that
all consensual sexual activities between adults in private should not be criminalized (by law) and should be protected as human rights. The idea of swinging is contradicting the model of marriage in China.
The voice of criticism is also being raised from different sections in the country on this idea. The Shanghai Daily says that a theory that aims at justifying extra-marital sex is worse than immoral. It's unashamed.
However, Li answered on this by saying as "Sexual activity between a married person and a person other than his or her spouse, provided that the spouse has been informed and agreed, is not morally wrong. "
