abstract

  • The sexuality of bare branches in China is a neglected but very important issue, as there is estimated to be 30 to 40 million bare branches. In this explorative study, we first depict the traits of bare branches, including their sexual poverty. Then we introduce their sexual channels, such as extramarital affairs and commercial sex. We explore the effect of this group on the spread of STDs in China and how this group may affect the development of sex industry in China. Being illegal for sex industry in China, bare branches face a predicament for their sexual activities.
