nam nữ thụ thụ bất thân

1. (Traditional Cultural Conservatism) appropriately, unless related by blood or marriage, men and women should avoid physical contact
   • 2023 December 3, Trân Trân, “'Nam nữ thụ thụ bất thân' và những quan niệm xưa ['Men and women should avoid physical contact' and Ancient Views]”, in PLVN - Báo Pháp Luật Điện Tử Việt Nam [Vietnam Law Newspaper Online]:Câu nói “Nam nữ thụ thụ bất thân” giờ đây có lẽ hầu như chỉ tồn tại trong văn chương, sách vở. Tuy nhiên, đã có một thời, quan niệm này hầu như chi phối toàn bộ cách hành xử, lối sống của người xưa, từ ngoài xã hội cho đến trong gia đình.Nowadays, the saying, “[appropriately, unless related by blood or marriage,] men and women should avoid physical contact” perhaps only exists in literary compositions and books. Even so there was also a time when this view almost completely dictated [our] ancestors' rules of conduct, behavioral etiquette, and way of life, from outside among society to within the households.
2. (situationally humorous) appropriately, unless related by blood or marriage, men and women should avoid physical contact
   • 2009 October 15, Vũ Thuợng, “Nắm tay và hơn thế nữa [Holding Hands and Even More]”, in Tuổi Trẻ [Youth]:Ở thời buổi này mà còn bảo “nam nữ thụ thụ bất thân” thì còn xưa hơn Diễm. Vì con trai con gái tuổi teen bây giờ đã coi những tiếp xúc nam nữ là gì đó rất đương nhiên.In this day and age, to instruct “men and women to avoid physical contact” is even further bygone than Diễm [of Bygone Days]. For teenaged boys and girls nowadays have considered physical contacts between men and women to be something very natural.
