sriracha john Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Online chats often lead to sex, seminar is told Nearly one-sixth of students aged between 15 and 24 have had sex with strangers at least once after having online chats, a seminar on child protection against online harassment was told yesterday. Of all 1,114 respondents based in Bangkok surveyed on October 15-17, 27 per cent of males had sex with strangers they got to know through online chats, compared to 8 per cent of females, according to an Abac poll result released in the seminar. Sixty-five per cent placed their real pictures and phone numbers on community websites and 34 per cent were contacted by strangers who found their profiles. Twenty per cent of the males had "sought friends" using online services compared to 12 per cent of females. Fifty-three per cent of respondents have viewed pornographic through online media. Of them, 63 per cent downloaded the material, while another 16 per cent played obscene games offered on adult websites. Of all types of games available, respondents said they regularly or occasionally played some violent games including shooting police, striptease and rape, said the Abac poll. A research by the National Electronics and Computer Technology Centre found that more than one million Thais under 15 years of age had their own online profiles on which their real pictures were posted. Nectec official Chadamas Thurasetthakul said children would be better protected when a 2003 law preventing distribution of personal information of young children came into effect in the near future. She said the five online services most visited by juveniles were YouTube, Hi 5, MSN, MySpace and Facebook. - The Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ijustwannateach Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I also like how they managed to scrape the 15-year-olds into the apparently naturally constituted "15-24 year old" age group, so that they could make it about "children." That's nearly a 10-year age range, with 7 of those years in what most countries would regard as adult. They say that 1/6 of the poll respondents had had sex after a chat online- what if 99% of those were in the 18-24 year old age range? Oh my god, terrible, adults having sex! They've really got to try a bit harder on these anti-sex media binges. If nothing else, the 15-17 year olds now know where to go, as a result of their efforts. Silly Abac people.

Well, if ever there was an advert / effort to get more people online / using chats then this is it. Typical case of "It's only a problem if you want it to be." And, by implication: If it's a problem to anyone at that seminar, please keep it YOUR problem, and don't make it everyone elses. 27% of men and 8 % women have had sex with a stranger ,me thinks the ladies are telling porkys Well, what constitutes a stranger. Definitions may vary, and cultural reasons make it a good thing for men to appear studly, so they would group more encounters into the 'stranger' category, while for women the good thing is being virtuous, so women would more often be inclined to go "Well he was not a stranger, we had a beer first." And then, men are more likely to have encounters with prositutues, which leads to a higher percentage on the male side. So in short, I've seen weirder statistics than this one. Online chats often lead to sex, seminar is told I'm absolutely sure they do, but I doubt many lead to the kind that involves two people. Indeed. Most lead to tantric communal group orgies. Seriously, one of THE best way to meet women anywhere and specifically Thailand is through internet sites. (Mainstream internet sites, I might add.. Thai community portals et al) Edited November 20, 2007 by chanchao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 I think IJWT got it right. This type of study (depending on what it is done for) should differentiate between underage persons having sex and adults. They also might want to determine the number of underage persons having sex with adults vs the number of underage persons having sex with other underage persons. I think people were having sex long before chat lines came along and I don't think that outlawing them will reduce sex. I also agree with the poster who wants a definition of a stranger. If you chat with someone on line for a couple of years, are they really a stranger? Are they referring to people who have sex during their first face-to face (no pun intended) meeting, or people who 'meet' via the internet chat line, see each other and at a later date decide to have sex. This study is just plain confusing. What are they trying to tell us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youths drawn to sex and violence Culture Ministry plans to grade Internet cafes Online games that involve violence, fantasy, cop-shooting, stripping and abducting young women are popular among Thai youths, while some use the Internet as a means to hook up with others for sex, a poll revealed yesterday. Meanwhile the National Committee on Safe and Creative Media is gathering information on Internet cafes and computer game shops to implement a red (dangerous) or green (safe) sticker to identify these venues next year. Ladda Tangsupachai, 58, head of the Culture Ministry's Cultural Surveillance Department, said the committee, on which she served as Secretary, had assigned the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth) and the Abac Poll to survey Internet use and impact among 1,114 Thais aged 15 to 24 in Bangkok and surrounding areas from October 15 to 17. Most youths used the Internet to search for information, play online games and download music or movies, the poll found. The respondents also went online while at schools and educational institutions (75 per cent) followed by shopping malls (58 per cent) and homes (48 per cent). Slightly less than a third said their parents knew in detail which websites they had visited while some 74 per cent said they did not. The online-game-playing respondents also ranked their favourite themes as fighting, fantasy worlds, cop-shooting, stripping and abducting young women. The respondents said playing online games was useful (47 per cent) because it relaxed them and developed their creativity while another 20 per cent said it was a waste of time and led to obsessions. Over half (53 per cent) of the youths said they had seen obscene or pornographic materials on the Internet, including downloading porn pictures or clips (64 per cent), playing games on pornographic sites (16 per cent), chatting about sex with others (13 per cent), uploading sexual pictures or message onto websites (11 per cent), and using webcam services such as camfrog (6 per cent). Youths with access to obscene material said they found out about such sites by accident (52 per cent) followed by peer recommendations (45 per cent), web boards (30 per cent) and search engines (29 per cent), the poll found. Moreover, 27 per cent of male respondents and 8 per cent of female admitted they had sex with people they had met online. Of this group, 28 per cent of males and 59.4 per cent of females said the sex was not consensual. Acknowledging that pornographic material contributed to sex crimes and lowered morality in general, the respondents expressed low confidence in law enforcement to efficiently crack down on these websites. They suggested the government should educate Thai youths to build immunity to such vices, crack down on such websites and strictly enforce the law. Ladda said the Safe Media Committee also assigned the Culture Ministry to conclude the issue about Internet caf้es and computer-game shops, as they planned to launch a campaign persuading business-owners to adjust Internet caf้e and computer-game services to be of the same standard. Next year the committee and officials will visit Internet cafe้s and computer-game shops and allocate the safe and creative green sticker, which should get more parents and children to use the services there. Meanwhile, Microsoft and Asiasoft said they would lower the programme prices for these venues. Those given a red sticker, indicating inappropriate services, will face legal action by the police. - The Nation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One word, no hypens, dot com Note that the default Thailand chat rooms are not the ones you're looking for. You have to go to 'General' and then select a chat room. Basically it's 90% guys yelling at 10% girls, some of whom with a webcam. It's really remarkable to see this once or twice, just so you know what everyone's talking about.

Ijustwannateach Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 SRJ- so the wolf comes out of the sheep's clothing. Ladda T. and her Ministry of Culture gang are nothing more than the Thai government's version of the "Moral Majority" types in the U.S.- anti-sex, anti-youth culture zealots. The same group brings us each year's annual warning of the health risks of wearing spaghetti-string blouses during Songkran (so far it's been mosquitos, catching cold, and what else?). I wondered if she might be behind it- and now, perhaps, it seems she might have been behind most of these ludicrous anti-sex ABAC announcements the last few years. They need a cover, too, 'cause their direct statements have already lost all credibility. Well, ABAC's no great loss, either. "S" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
