Students Open to Premarital Sex
Eight or nine out of 10 Korean university students have an open mind toward sex before marriage.

"I don't think the trend is only for university students, many of my university juniors already had sexual relations when they were in high school or even in middle school," Back Sang-yeop, a male university student said.

A female student identified as Ko said, "As a growing number of female students go overseas to study apart from their parents, they are more vulnerable to liberal sexual relations."

Those motels around the Universities haven't been empty all this time!

I'm not at all surprised that this is true for university students, but I am surprised at this:

How would they find time for sex? They spend all day in school. I have heard that some children go to school until 10PM at night.

Strange that they would do a "nation-wide" survey of only 554 students, and then try to generalize based on the findings. I thought this was strange, too:

"Nearly 31 percent of the respondents said they had had sexual relations _ 39.4 percent of males and 22.7 percent of females. "

As far as I know, sex requires two people, but look at the enormous disparity. This leaves three possibilities:

1. A lot of women are lying.
2. The girls that are having sex are really getting around, whereas the guys are not.
3. The survey was poorly conducted.

I'd love to see the methods they used for this survey.

There are no gays in Korea.

Sexual relations isn't just full sex... it covers a broad spectrum of things...

I don't know how the US is, but a lot of people in the UK were starting up with different sexual practices around the age of 14...

Every once in a while someone posts this topic, and I always have the same response, that sexual attitude doesn't correlate to sexual activity. Some of the most liberal-minded people toward sex remain virgins until old ages. Some of the most obstinate virginity-pledge freaks become anal queens by the time they hit puberty.
