Q: STD awareness in China?

Just how conscious are people here about STDs?

Is the use of condoms, in their minds, predominantly used as birth control, or STD-prevention?

STD awareness here is almost nil.  I have heard lines like, "You can't touch me there or I will get aids" and "If we have sex during my period, I will get cancer".

Condoms, if they use them, is strictly used as a form of birth control.

coffaholic:

Don't know what country bumpkins you hang out with but my educated, cultured Chinese friends in Beijing are well aware of STDs and even go for check-ups once a year. I think one has to stop generalising and lumping all Chinese together; the reality of the rich-poor divide is that many, young Chinese nowadays have gone abroad or are Westernised enough to be aware of secual health, but at the same time, there are many more who just haven't had access to this info yet.

std ed is this: (mother to daughter) having sex before marriage is bad for females. females can catch diseases if you have sex before marriage. controling women starts with controling the sexual habits of women. that means no std education or sex ed at all.

I have my own statistic. Let's say I have had sex with 6 girls in China.
With the 6 of them previous to penetrate them I pretended I was going to do it without condom and they didnt say anything, I mean they were ready to allow it.
I do it just as prevention and to get scared myself of what I could get if I do it like that, may sound  weird but is true, I do it everytime and so far all the times none girl have asked me to use condom.

I'm talking just about my own experience, I'm not judging all chinese girls.

yup, alot do think its a bit weird when you want to use a condom and have them on your persons/in your house. They seem to think its ok that "chinese men dont like to do it this way"... well duh.. noone does.. but that doesnt make it ok to not use them.
Disclaimer: also not a generalisation of all chinese women, just my experience.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
