@Jenny
While your response is off-topic due to a misunderstanding, I’d like to point out that there’s a difference between memorizing, understanding, and problem solving. In addition, modernized IQ testing eliminates age as a significant comparison factor, so..er….smarty pants……back that ass up.

@Jenny - book smarts vs. street smarts. And as this post is talking about sex education - we’re not talking books… well, not the kind you can buy in Xinhua.

what do you mean a 19 year old Chinese would be the equivalent of a 15 year old American?

it’ll be considered lucky if a 19 year old American has a equivalent IQ of a 15 year old Chinese.

@Shan: if you noticed a bit disappeared… it was because Sean asked me to delete his comment.

@Yep: There’s the charming innocence of youth and there’s blind ignorance of the world outside mommy’s embrace - there must be a balance there in. I’m not sure where it lies, but I would imagine it comes from solid education (which in both Chinese naivety and Western over-exposure is lacking).

@Shan: That statistic brought chills to my spine. Two out of three… eek. And I think you’re absolutely right about Q-tip’s q-tip, if for no other reason than many of them have a quasi (or completely) rural existence, making them a bit more knowledgeable about how it all works down there. As with anywhere, you can’t live around animals and not know about the birds and the bees.

@Sean: That’s a bit combative.

*cough* or maybe its just the people you know *cough*

Teaching classes of late-high-school kids years ago in rural China (my “early years” in China) I had the opposite experience, as they were far more “sexually knowledgeable” than an equivalent class in “the West”. The things they would say because they didn’t think “teacher” could understand Chinese!

Remember: for 2 out of 3 people on this planet, “sex education” means watching/hearing your parents “do it” in their little section of your one-room house.

There may be sexually naive youth in the big eastern cities in China (like in big cities everywhere) but go west and you’ll find an entirely different story. No-one west of Pinguoyuan (to use the Beijing example) would even look twice at Q-tip’s q-tip…

While I agree with you on what you are saying about most Chinese being sexually immature, I had to chuckle when you said that a 19 year old Chinese would be the equivalent of a 15 year old American. Most 15 year old Americans have probably already had sex, are lucky if they’re not pregnant or addicted to crank and are even more blessed if they haven’t been shot at in high school. So what if they’re a little naive and don’t have “titties” on TV. Let them keep their innocence for a while before life starts chewing them up and spitting them out.

[...] Pepe Q-tip seems to be here to stay. He’s all proud of himself these days, because he has his own website. Arrogant [...]
