Xiao Mei (pseudonym), a 17-year-old student from a tourism school in Beijing, accidentally became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy in the toilet. Due to concerns about being discovered, Xiaomei attempted to flush the baby away by flushing the toilet twice. After failing, the baby boy was pulled out and thrown into the basket before leaving. The incident resulted in the death of the baby boy on the spot, and Xiaomei was sentenced to probation. According to prosecutors, between 2011 and 2014, there were a total of 8 cases of unmarried mothers under 20 drowning in Beijing. Prosecutors claim that the issue of adolescent sex education urgently requires social attention (according to the Beijing Times on December 20th).
The phenomenon of premarital cohabitation and "mistresses", the recognition of premarital sex has generally increased significantly, and the number of unmarried mothers has increased. During the period from 2011 to 2014 in Beijing, eight cases of unmarried mothers drowning babies occurred. All these behaviors that are contrary to traditional ethics and even illegal crimes, if they are attributed to the lack of gender education for teenagers, it is rather an extreme decline in traditional moral and ethical concepts, It is necessary to emphasize the strengthening of so-called sex education for teenagers, but returning to traditional moral ethics, serious sexual behavior, and "chastity awareness" is clearly more effective and realistic in reducing and eliminating such abnormal phenomena.
In the thousands of years of traditional moral and cultural concepts of our country, the issue of sex has always been very conservative and closed. premarital sex is not only intolerable by the people, but also excluded by feudal ethics and laws and regulations. Although in the long history of thousands of years before the founding of New China, the sex service industry and even prostitution have been accepted by the society, in fact, this is not opposed to the traditional moral concept of seriousness. As we all know, under the influence of this deeply rooted conservative concept and morality, people's sense of chastity is particularly strong. In the shops, if men and women have premarital sex and are "caught", the consequences are very serious, and women will even take their lives. However, in reality, not only the shame of premarital sex has disappeared, but without premarital sex, they will be laughed at, The unique "shyness beauty" of young Chinese women is also almost absent. The excessive openness of this sexual concept and the lack of regulatory constraints, punishment, and excessive tolerance in society have led to an unprecedented "sexual overflow" in society. In this atmosphere, emphasizing only on strengthening sexual education and correct guidance from a "technical" perspective not only has little effect, but may also lead to misunderstandings and have the effect of "adding fuel to the fire".
In the ideological consciousness of many people, and even in some official propaganda and popularization, the "liberation" of sexual concepts is often regarded as or even equivalent to the manifestation of social civilization and progress. In fact, there is a great misunderstanding. Open sexual concepts are not only a measure of social civilization and progress, but also a rapid regression of society, Monogamy and sexual behavior constrained by moral laws and regulations, especially the marriage system itself, are the greatest civilization and progress that distinguishes humans from other animals. However, these so-called "open ideas" in the real world have had a huge impact on the civilized marriage system, which is not only reflected in the number of divorce demography that has been refreshed year by year. Unmarried sexual behaviors such as unmarried cohabitation, trial marriage, "temporary couples" are more common among migrant workers and even on university campuses, including "one night stand" and other sexual activities similar to prostitution. On the one hand, laws and regulations strictly prohibit prostitution, and on the other hand, they do not impose any restrictions on various types of premarital or non marital sexual activities other than "prostitution", resulting in a decrease in actual prostitution. However, premarital or non marital sexual activities are rampant. However, due to the influence of traditional concepts and social and economic conditions, premarital childbirth, especially for "sexually ambiguous" teenagers, Not only has the number of abortions caused by unexpected pregnancies skyrocketed, but it is also difficult to avoid behaviors such as 17 year old Xiaomei, a college girl, giving birth haphazardly and panicking, abandoning or even killing a child.
Emphasizing the strengthening of sexual education and gender awareness among adolescents can relatively reduce unintended pregnancies and such extreme behaviors. However, if this sexual concept is allowed to continue to be "open", any other "prevention" in the later stages will be futile, resulting in a series of social problems that are almost "incurable". Therefore, emphasizing sexual education and instilling correct sexual knowledge is better than returning to traditional morality, Sex itself is the nature of all animals, including humans. Only by constraining and regulating it with morality and legal systems, ensuring the purity and loyalty of sexual behavior with marriage and traditional morality, and returning to moral beliefs with the concept of sexual behavior outside of marriage as a shame, can a series of social problems caused by the "openness" of sexual attitudes be fundamentally eliminated.
