People okay with premarital sex: Survey

Chinese people have become more tolerant toward premarital sex in recent years, a survey has found.

The survey, "Sex and Sexuality of Chinese 2000-06", which was released this week, found that roughly two-thirds of people said premarital sex was "acceptable" today.

The survey, conducted by the Institute of Sexuality and Gender at the Renmin University of China and financed by the Ford Foundation, polled more than 6,000 people aged 18-61 from 21 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country.
