Hong Kong Authorities Advise Youths To Play Badminton Instead Of Having Sex

Top officials in Hong Kong are advising young, unmarried adults to avoid temptation by distracting themselves. Sex education materials published last week instruct young adults to study or play badminton to avoid giving in to sexual urges. “We must recognise that we are the masters of our desires and should think twice before acting, and control our desires instead of being controlled by them,” the document reads. In response, young adults have started to poke fun at the advice by renaming “friends with benefits” as “friends with badminton” on social media. It’s unclear how the Education Bureau developed these materials. (Straits Times)
