Hong Kong's Controversial Sex Ed Advice: Play Badminton?

Hong Kong's new sex education materials have sparked controversy, with critics calling them regressive and suggesting that the advice is outdated.

The materials advise young people to avoid premarital sex and other intimate behaviors by engaging in activities like badminton, a suggestion that has been met with amusement from teenagers.

Government officials, however, are defending the new guidance, arguing that it emphasizes abstinence and responsible relationships.

The debate highlights the ongoing tension between traditional values and modern attitudes towards sexuality in Hong Kong.
