Beijing, Mar 28 : Only about 2.2 percent of women in China consider sex as the most valuable factor to make them happy, a recent survey has found. About 22.5 percent of the women surveyed prioritized love as the big happiness maker, because the word 'sex' was still considered as a taboo.

Notably, the factor of "self-fulfillment" ranked highest for the Chinese women to make them happy, as more than 60 percent of the respondents voted for it.

Citing a reason for a low percentage of women linking their happiness to sex, a leading sexologist in the country said that traditionally the word 'sex' carried negative meanings. "The word was stereotyped with negative meanings. A good woman should not like sex. Love is a beautiful word," said Li Yinhe, a noted sexologist and professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

"But, power, money and sex all represent the negative things. It (power) shows big progress. More and more women want to achieve their life value, which eclipses the importance of the private life for women. When women start to value self fulfillment, they become more equal to men," the China Daily quoted her as saying.

She added: "The high marks for self -fulfillment are inspiring and encouraging."

The survey was conducted by the Yueji.Self, a Chinese-language magazine jointly launched this month by the Chinese-language Women of China magazine and the New York-based magazine publisher "Conde Nast Publications".

According to the paper, in China the traditional mindset is that men live for their careers and women live for love.

The fact that only about 22.5 percent surveyed prioritized love as the big happiness maker demonstrated that love was no longer the most important factor for a woman to be happy in China. This is perhaps reflected in the growing trend that many Chinese women were opting to remain single.

The survey was the first of its kind to be carried out in 15 cities on the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan province.

Hmm. Winds of change that have blown steadily elsewhere in the world are now blowing in China. But this "growing trend" will most likely be a slow process.
