BANGKOK (NNT) - A recent survey by the Department of Health Service Support (HSS) showed teenagers favor having unprotected intercourse as part of Valentine’s Day celebrations. The department also stressed the importance of providing proper sexual education to youths.

 

The survey, with a sample size of 1,000 participants aged 12-18, indicated that 88.9% of respondents said they intended to consume alcoholic beverages on the romantic holiday and were hoping to perform intercourse afterwards. The poll also said 68.2% of those surveyed were considering having unprotected sex on Valentine’s Day, while 40% said having experiencing intimacy on such a day was to be expected. 39.1% said they planned to lose their virginity on Valentine’s Day.

 

The survey reflects a common belief among teenagers that drinking alcohol leads into sexual intercourse. The HSS explained that alcoholic beverages negatively affect the brain’s functions, slowing down movement and critical decision-making processes. This can ultimately lead to having unprotected sex, contracting sexual transmitted illnesses and even unplanned pregnancy.

 

Additionally, the department said gatherings on the occasion will likely increase the chance of spreading COVID-19.

 

The HSS has called for all sides to raise awareness and provide teens with appropriate sex education and information. Safe sex, contraceptives and teen pregnancies are among the most essential concerns. The department also said sex is a responsibility and should only happen when an individual is ready.

Just more nonsense from an inept government.

They can't as they need to run very quick to escape

brother, father and close relatives,.

Well most of us favor unprotected sex. That does not mean we do it. And that does not mean the selection of a partner for unprotected sex is not a consideration. 

 

Think about the kids, if nothing else.

Do you want one?

Do you need one?

Does the world need another one?

Can you take care of it? Does the guy you are fooling around with have any interest in raising and supporting a kid?

Do you consider your parents martyrs, who will look after you kid while you attempt to earn a living? 

 

Think, think, think.

And you always wondered why your wife only is a little over a decade younger than her mom? Here's your answer.

If THAT is the department's one and only concern while swarms of 12 to 18-year-olds are fornicating in every dark alleyway and behind every bush unprotected and passing on STDs and causing a wave of teen pregnancies, the department truly has lost the plot. Alas, that is nothing new with government agencies in this country.

Wow, the number of times I consumed alcohol in my youth and then was HOPING to perform intercourse, but Mr Brewer's Droop took over!   LOL

age of consent in Thailand is 15 years old, how can a "legal/reliable" survey include 12 years old in their survey

I guess you mean 'the THOUGHT of getting their end AWAY'.

The surveys may have been conducted in health settings, schools or youth clubs.

Doubt it would have received ethics approvals though.

So what's the reason for your existence, stupid, mistake or planned ????

 

 

 

 

Planned. Not a mistake from a 14 year olds  teenage romantic  unprotected sex on Valentine's day.  

 

Sounds crazy I know, but my parents were in their 20's and married. 

 

These days I don't know why young people would take the risk of unprotected sex.  There are so many unwanted pregnancies here, illegal abortions and underage pregnancy.  There is no need for these problems at all.

Should boost the low birth rate at the moment... I'm surprised the government isn't actively encouraging it.

YES. Because they are the ones getting left with the baby, after their "boyfriend" runs for the hills!

 

I never wanted to be a father!

But you refused to use protection.

Well, I know I should have said no. Not sure what I was thinking. Maybe I thought you were sincere, when you said you wanted to be with me?

Who doesn't hope to have a nice drink, followed by a good natural route. 

 

A bunch of old men on a Thai internet forum, that's who!

They could always just go for god's loophole.

The unprotected sex thing makes sense in a way. So many women I have spoken to in the past on dating sites here.  Have children but never been married.
