Some Chinese universities are being too casual in teaching sex, China's Xinhua state news agency has said.

A university class in the southern province of Guangdong had students practising "blowing up condoms like balloons and playing games where the female students pretended to be prostitutes," it said on Monday.

"We want students to establish a strong knowledge of safe sex so as to avoid sexually transmitted diseases," Xinhua said in a commentary.

"These 'sex parties' are only teaching students to put aside their shyness. Are they getting more knowledge of safe sex, or rather a sexual guide?"

Foreign countries took a "scientific and serious approach" to sex education without advocating promiscuity, it said.

"They don't make sex a rowdy game ... Are we telling these students: as long as you have a condom, it's ok?"

Sex has long been an unspoken topic in classrooms in China, but attitudes relaxed after China began Western-style market reforms in 1978.
