Premarital sex up from 15% to 65%

Incidents of premarital sex in China are up from 15.5% in 1989 to 65% in 2004 with Guangdong recording an 86% increase, said Li Yinhe, China's first female sexual sociologist, who described her study in a speech reported by state media. Li said 26% of Chinese women never experienced a sexual climax, a much higher figure than 10% reported in Western countries.
