[Abstract] Objective: To understand the status of psychosexuality and sexuality behavior among Chinese undergraduates studying in USA, and to discuss the importance of developing sexuality counseling and sexuality education for Chinese undergraduates. Method: The "Psychosexuality and Sexual Behavior Questionnaire Investigation" was administered to 126 Chinese undergraduates from five universities in the USA. Results: The majority of Chinese undergraduates have misgivings about sexual behavior in university, and are cautious about sexual behavior for fear of possible consequences. Chinese undergraduates have received less sexuality education and lack sexual knowledge, but also express desire to learn sexual knowledge. Conclusions: Since universities and colleges are the last station of public education, they should become the main platform for sexuality counseling and sexuality

 

education, especially in light of the fact that Chinese undergraduates in the USA generally lack sexuality knowledge. It is suggested that it is necessary to launch comprehensive sexuality education for Chinese undergraduates.
