A Xi'an university has opened a sex education course that has gained wide popularity among students, a local newspaper reports.
According to Qi Xinyan, a teacher at Xijing University, the university started several new optional courses this semester, including sex education, death psychology and female psychology.
Qi said that sex education is very necessary for Chinese university students since Chinese youth have lacked such education for a long time.
The course is expected to help students get an overall understanding about sex and health and to allow them to gain more information about how to prevent AIDS, venereal disease and other sex related disease.
"Besides theory, how to use condoms will also be taught in the class," said Qi. "Students are very interested in the course, and there are no vacancies left."
