Behind closed doors[1]——查字典英语网

Most of all, I'll assure them that whatever they choose they should have a sense of responsibility.

They should not be pushed one way or the other way. Sex or no sex, it should be natural.

The debate is not only polarizing, it's misleading. You might think this is a serious problem but research shows that in 2001 only 5 percent of China's college students had sex, rising imperceptibly to 7 percent in 2005.

Now, let me try to get into the mind of the letter writer. He obviously can't see what is going on behind closed doors, but he notices public display of affection, like kissing and hugging and that upsets him because it helps him visualize what is happening out of sight.
