Sex before marriage may no longer be taboo in conservative China, but health officials are worried that a growing number of high school students in Shanghai could be getting too frisky, state media reported yesterday.

Following a study of 25 high schools over the past two years, health officials discovered that nearly one-third of high school students had a partner, and had engaged in either hugging, kissing, or petting, Xinhua news reported.

Three percent of those surveyed said they had already had sex, the report said.

While this is the first study of its kind in this age group, local educators were concerned that the data suggested dating and sexual activity among students was on the rise in China's most modern city, as sexual education struggles to keep pace with the new society.

I would say add about 50% to all these figures and you would be near the facts.

1. To your comments: Yeah, no s--t!

Just because their government believes it can succesfully control every aspect of the citizens' lives, this in no way translates to subjugation of basic human wants and needs. Freaking idiots....
