A recent survey indicates that about 65% college students live with their GF/BF, which means over half of college student have sexual intercourse before their graduation. The concepts of sex and love have changed greatly these years. About twenty years ago, college students were not even allowed to kiss or even take their hands in campus, those who were found to have sexual relationships would be seriously punished to be expelled. After the open and reform policy implemented for over twenty years, Chinese traditional comprehension of love and sex have profoundly changed while more and more people accept the free sex culture of western countries. College student’s cohabitation caused many criticisms from elder generation while younger generation defend themselves with freedom. There teenage pregnancy rate raised rapidly in recent years because of the lack of contraceptive education. So there are many abortions in China, about 17 million in 2006.
