It may be an innocent enough racquet sport, but Hong Kong’s Education Bureau has unintentionally given badminton a whole new meaning.
In teaching materials it released last week, a module titled adolescents and intimate relationships for Secondary Year 3, suggested that teenagers who wanted to have sex with each other could “go out to play badminton together” instead.
The materials also include a form called “My Commitment” aimed at getting “young lovers” to attest that they would exercise “self-discipline, self-control, and resistance to pornography”.
This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including
- Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
- Naked wrestling…
- Naked wrestling…
That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.
All boys campout with pastor Randy!
I blame the shuttlecock. It’s always the shuttlecock.
The “Challengers” sequel writes itself.
These modules FROM THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT look like a power point lesson plan that I would have done in college.
However, the learning goals are very progressive. This part is what should be taught about sex everywhere:
Whenever a behaviour occurs, it is often accompanied by an activating event (including people, circumstances, events) and a consequence.
Also, the unit on myths vs. reality. This is important stuff that doesn’t get taught in the US, due to conservative prudes and it’s my opinion that the sexually uneducated end up causing sexual abuse.

I admittedly haven’t read the material, but your quoted text sounds very vague and indirect. Perhaps there was more content that was more direct and concrete.
Yeah, I wonder where you could look it up? Maybe in the link OP posted above. Or you could just comment and look stupid, it’s up to you.
Yeah, I admittedly chose the latter :)

First the badminton, then the sex.
