recently, Zhejiang University of premarital education Shouzhen, caused great controversy. A few years ago a similar incident also occurred, a number of college students in Sichuan issued a sworn declaration to maintain virginity before marriage. This view in today's China is already a minority point of view. In Western countries, some people engage in similar activities, they certainly are a very small number.


in 1989 I made a random survey shows that Beijing, regardless of whether or not relations between the two identified, had pre-marital sexual relations 15.5 percent of the samples. According to the latest survey data, premarital sex in Shanghai in preparation for marriage of women has reached 59 percent in Guangzhou as much as 86 percent. The proportion of catching up after the revolution in the West of premarital sexual activity level. The United States, "Psychology Today"magazine survey that the magazine's readers are women 78 percent had premarital sexual intercourse. "Playboy"magazine in the early 1970s with a married women targeted survey showed that more than 55-year-old age group, only 31 percent had sexual intercourse before marriage, the youngest age group have had premarital sex ratio is high Up to 81%. The most extreme figures from Sweden, had both sexes in the ratio of premarital sex are as high as 95 percent. In those pre-marital sex has become the majority of the country, it is difficult to think of such acts or violations of social norms of behavior. Because the so-called norms that the majority of code of conduct. An act were to become the majority of practice, should not be considered still is a violation of norms of social behaviour has.


summary, pre-marital sexual activity for three norms: the first is the traditional norms, it is a reproduction of the main purpose, therefore firmly opposed to premarital sex; second is the romanticism of norms, It advocates, love should be the main purpose, so it was opposed to random sex, but if the parties have taken place in love, premarital sex is acceptable; third is the norms of liberalism, in its view, is of The rights of people with their own will to dispose of their bodies, so as long as the parties voluntarily, we can have premarital sex.


With the majority of the crowd change the mode of premarital sex, people get married at the request of virginity has changed dramatically. In the United States, the 18 Spouse Choosing the standard statistics show that in the 1930s, the importance of virginity is listed in section 10; to 1977, as the first female to 17 (the penultimate 2), as the first male 18 (the penultimate one). According to the 33 national survey of about 10,000 people, most of the value of virginity are China, India, Indonesia, Iran, Israel, the value of virginity are Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and France. The United States also do not value virginity, but its high level as the Nordic countries.


Another survey showed that the value of virginity partners have Asians, Mexicans, the Middle East and South America were relatively tolerant of Americans, Belgians, French and Scandinavian. Some people even think that virginity is a partner of the shortcomings, the reasons for that or the other is not attractive, or are worried about the lack of experience the other side too.


of premarital sex have positive attitude towards the people that pre-marital sexual intercourse, including the benefits of: in the presence of people is the sense, both in its physical or psychological health are conducive to, because the people The urgent need can not be towed until adulthood, from puberty to adulthood there are about 10 years. Some people marry later or even not married, it is difficult to ask them to maintain virginity. Currently in the United States and France, two single people have to account for about one-quarter of the population, in China, celibacy and delayed marriage has also increased the population trend. To ask these people to maintain virginity is totally unrealistic. Regardless of the social norms of premarital sexual activity of how severe, with the number of people to participate in this growing practice, norms will have to change, the past was considered a violation of social norms of premarital sex sexual activity will gradually be accepted by the social norms, although In many societies, this is very reluctant to accept. Therefore, in my view, Zhejiang University Shouzhen moral education is only the old, old norms of Huiguangfanzhao, the concept of virginity has been the decline is inevitable.


why people in this trend before the performance so excited, of course, is for a reason, that reason from the history of China. In this world, by the recognition of a private act phenomenon is rare, but it occurred in the traditional China: Government to Shouzhen and honour killings of women's chastity Church legislation, to be strongly commended the hope that the people in order to standardize
