The 8th Hong Kong Sex Cultural Festival: Sexuality and Sports
The 8th Hong Kong Sex Cultural Festival 2017 was jointly organized by the Family Planning Association of Hong Kong (FPAHK) and the Hong Kong Sex Education Association at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre on 24-27 March 2017. Themed “Sexuality and Sports”, the Festival aimed to broaden public understanding of the connections between sports culture, gender and society, and explore taboos and sexist assumptions about sports and sexuality and their influence on modern people.
Prior to the Festival, an Online Survey on Sexuality and Sports was conducted from 19 July to 29 December 2016. Among the 1,071 respondents polled, 12.8% regarded sex as one of their regular forms of exercise, ranking the 5th among the most popular sports following athletics, ball games, bodybuilding and aquatics. 30.2% of respondents were satisfied or highly satisfied with their sex life, while 33.1% found their sex life average. Those who chose sex as one of their regular forms of exercise were on average more satisfied with their sex life.
The Festival was well received by public and local media. It did indeed provide an open platform for public to acquire insights about sex culture in a relaxed atmosphere, and brought together diverse groups to jointly advocate for sexuality education and SRH rights.
