It may be an innocent enough racquet sport, but Hong Kong’s Education Bureau has unintentionally given badminton a whole new meaning.

In teaching materials it released last week, a module titled adolescents and intimate relationships for Secondary Year 3, suggested that teenagers who wanted to have sex with each other could “go out to play badminton together” instead.

The materials also include a form called “My Commitment” aimed at getting “young lovers” to attest that they would exercise “self-discipline, self-control, and resistance to pornography”.

    This reminds me of the time, in college, when a Christian fellowship leader gave us all a list of alternatives to sex, including

    1. Passing chocolate from mouth to mouth
    2. Naked wrestling…

      1. Naked wrestling…

      That just sounds like a euphemism for sex, not an alternative.

        Sounds like he caught his parents as a kid, they said they are "naked wrestling"and he never questioned it
