I Read this artical today, and i would like to share it with you....
Sex is gradually losing its status, heralding major changes in people's attitudes toward sex. A large number of people are getting into a relationship that they call "living apart together" (LAT) living the life of a married couple with prior agreement to separate if one partner so desires and to control their sexual behaviour.
Han Lin, a married woman, had a "sex agreement" with her husband prior to their marriage when both were cohabiting.
The pact says neither of them is obliged to have sex with the other and if one of them refuses, the other would not force the issue.
Both are free to have new partners and if either has had sex with a new partner and is willing to live with that person, the two would stop cohabiting.
"Our marriage has not ended this agreement," said Han, adding that quite a few couples, married and unmarried, have signed similar agreements.
To some experts, such developments represent a sexual revolution.
Prior to the late 1970s and during the Cultural Revolution in particular, young lovers could only show intimacy to each other in public by grasping each other's hand. At that time, men and women were denounced as living a profligate life if they were involved in sexual scandals.
Those who had premarital sex risked being fired by their work units if their affairs were exposed. Hospitals did not have clinics for treating sexual problems or sexually transmitted diseases.
