Hong Kong.
Nearly a quarter of Secondary two and three studants in Tseung Kwan O believe sex for money is acceptable,according to a survey.
Conducted by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong,the survey of 1,265 junior secondary studants found 4.1 percent thought adolescent prostitution was acceptable,while another 2.6 percent also thought so but would keep it from friends.
Together with 17.3 percent who said they condoned peers engaging in prostitution,some 24 percent took a rether casual attitude toward sex,ELCHK service officer Maggie Cheung Yin-Lei said.
"The mass media seldom mention the consequences of early sexual behavior.studants are not mature enough to have independent thinking skills needed to deal with these situations,"she said.
About 16.5 percent said it was acceptableto have sex without love and other 16.5 percent had no qualms in having more than one partner at a time.
Despite the fact that sex for people under 16 is illegal,14 percent did not think this was an issue.
An overwhelming pecentage of youths still entertained notions of traditonal sexual piety while 30 percent expressed fears of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
The survey found 27 percent saying they had falling in love-42 percent of them doing so in primary school.
