Why has badminton become a code for sex in Hong Kong? - Lemmy.World

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 [https://www.edb.gov.hk/attachment/en/curriculum-development/kla/pshe/references-and-resources/ces/support_materials_S3/M3.1%20(Part2)%20Sexuality_e_2023%20Dec_clean.pdf], 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”.
