G-strings ultimate cool symbol among Chinese youth
Fri Dec 19, 3:44 AM ET
BEIJING, (AFP) - G-strings have emerged as one of the ultimate symbols of "cool" among China's increasingly sophisticated youngsters, a survey shows.
"G-strings are cool," public relations company Hill and Knowlton said in a statement. "They empower sexual freedom and choice."
The finding is one of the results of the compnay's 2003 Global Cool Hunt Survey of the mood and mentality of 18-to-35-year-olds based on interviews and media monitoring around the world, including China.
Several other surveys have demonstrated nearly unanimously that a sexual revolution is taking place in China among the young.
A recent poll of 500 randomly selected single people in Shanghai, the country's most cosmopolitan city, showed 30 percent had already had sex, while seven percent were living with their partners.
By contrast, a 1997 survey showed that 40 percent of Shanghai couples of different age groups said they had not even hugged or kissed their spouses-to-be before marriage.
The Hill and Knowlton survey also suggested that extreme sports is growing in popularity among young urban Chinese.
In many parts of Beijing, teenagers gather for rock-climbing and skate-boarding, while mountain-biking is a rising trend in the environs of the capital.
"X-sports are extremely cool, providing alternative healthy and adventurous lifestyle choices," the company said.
Looks in Chinese cities are also changing, with short hair for girls only marking the cautious end on the boldness scale.
"Tattoos and piercings are the ultimate cool, as they radically defy tradition and exemplify rule of the body," the company said.
