ABSTRACT
With market reforms and greater internal migration of its population, China is experiencing higher divorce rates and a greater reported incidence of premarital and extramarital affairs than ever before. Released from traditional constraints and freed by the market mantra of bargain and choice, Chinese men and women are consumers at home and work, in their private relationships as well as their public roles. For many commentators, these changes provide an indication that China is undergoing a ‘sexual revolution’.
