Scholars on sexology and sociology from the Renmin University of China and other institutions today unveiled the "top 10 sex-related news pieces in 2003" selected out by public votes.
The news pieces are assessed not according to their sensations caused but their social and cultural values, said organizers. The aim is to direct the public's attention to the social and cultural meanings behind these news stories, enhancing sex awareness of the masses and advancing studies on sex-related questions.
Experts of the appraisal panel are from the branches of sociology, social gender studies, law, medicine, psychology, V. D. and AIDS prevention, ethics and literature, 11 of them being females. They hope to reach a fair and complete appraisal result from various perspectives.
The event will be held annually from now on, organizers said.
