A Mixed-Methods Analysis of Extramarital Sex in Contemporary China

January 8, 2026

Abstract

Extramarital affairs and divorce are controversial issues in China. Using a mixed-methods approach, extramarital sex (EMS) was investigated by combining statistical data about behaviors and attitudes with a textual reading of contemporary newspaper and magazine articles related to EMS in China. On the basis of the 1999–2000 Chinese Health and Family Life Survey, this study indicated that about 15% of married men and 5% of married women in China have engaged in EMS. Opportunity and permissive attitudes were related to the likelihood of engaging in EMS, especially for men. The prevalence of EMS may reflect a redistribution of power, both between and within gender groups, with Chinese men and women of higher socioeconomic status more likely to engage in EMS.
