As the societal behaviour is changing in Mauritius, it has affected the mindsets of our younger generation and especially females. The 'yo dude! How R U doin' generation has tossed aside traditional taboos of the Mauritian society like jaded garments. It's cool, but a hard-hitting social reality. The society today is faced with a staggering percentage of youth, who enjoy pre-marital sex as their fundamental biological right. This is the result of the fast-changing norms and the embracing of western ideas by the new generation. Rules are falling apart. From corruption to pre-marital sex, everything is acceptable to them. The young are adapting to western culture as ducks to water.

It seems that a psychological barrier has been broken since the so controversial "The Show" case in Mauritius, depicting a young college girl enjoying sex with more than 3 partners at the same time. These clips were in the hands of almost everybody either in their mobiles or in CDs which was readily available in the streets of Port Louis. This event was a sign that women here are growing more independent and becoming more aware of their body and thus, knowing well what they want physiologically and not only emotionally.

The media explosion has also thrown open, the minds of a once conservative society. Internet and SMS have only abetted pre-marital sex.

Although there has been a shocking change in the perception of pre-marital sex among the young generation, yet there are many who would raise an eyebrow or still blush talking about the issue.

Though the talk of morality would sound rubbish to those who maintain views as "like all other organs, sexual organs have their own functions and preventing them from doing its function, is injustice to the body system and very anti-natural" or "it is non-sensical and immature to judge one's moral attributes through sexual status", the truth is very different. Though men may indulge in pre-marital sex, but when it comes to tying the sacred-knot, 'Virginity' is the key-requirement.

So, if a man chooses to indulge in any such relationship, pre-marital or extra-marital, it becomes a privilege, nothing much is done to label him an outcast and treat him accordingly. But if a female dares to listen to her physiological needs, she becomes a culprit in the eyes of the so-called 'caretakers' of the society and its norms that are meant to facilitate masculine pleasures.

In this society where double standards are supreme, and any decision taken without the consent of the egoist male section will definitely bring in its wake opposition, prior to any future revolution. So, it ultimately remains a rebellious thought that needs sheer determination and strength to endure, to be triumphant in the end.
