Sex education vital for kids

A cartoon film produced a few years ago by Shanghai Animation Film Studio, which has several scenes of animals' breasts, was recently labeled as the most provocative animation ever by netizens. As a result, Internet users are worried that it would have a harmful effect on children. The debate over the animation film has become a hot issue on TV programs, and has been grabbing headlines on Web portals and newspapers alike, says an article in Qianjiang Evening News. Excerpts:

Chinese people have always had a prudent attitude toward sex and sex education. They have been oversensitive to anything even remotely related to sex. Their reservation toward sex even forced broadcasters to blur the genitals of David, the masterpiece created by the great Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, when they showed it on TV programs.
