Young people increasingly keen on sex:Poll

BANGKOK: -- Young people in Bangkok are becoming increasingly keen on sex, with many having more than one sexual partner simultaneously and a growing number engaging in 'swinging', according to a poll published today.

The ABAC Poll survey of 1,513 Bangkok residents, aged 15-24, suggests that around 40 percent of young people in the capital attach a high level of importance to Valentine's Day, and that 100,000 young people in Bangkok intend to have sex on the day, next Monday.

Somewhat alarmingly for traditional Thai mores, the survey found that 23.8 percent of respondents tended to have more than one sexual partner on the go at any one time, and that 22.7 percent of respondents made the decision to have sex with someone after having known them for less than a day.

At the same time, a significant proportion of respondents, or 6.7 percent, said that they had engaged in group sex.

One particularly worrying finding to emerge from the survey was that 60 percent of the sexually active respondents had at one time or another put themselves at risk of catching sexually transmitted disease by failing to use condoms.

And while 40 percent of those questioned agreed that condom machines should be placed in educational institutions, 36 percent expressed disagreement.

What the survey also found was that knowledge of the risk of sexually transmitted disease was not the determining factor in whether or not young people engaged in unsafe sex, with those aware of the risks just as likely to take risks as those not aware.

I heard they were ALL going to use the Lumpini Park swimming pool and that was the real reason why no farang are allowed in.

There must be about 200 000 people having sex at any moment in and around Bangkok on any given day. Half, if not more, are teens.

Young people in Bangkok are becoming increasingly keen on sex,

Since when have youngsters NOT been keen on sex????

[Jai Dee]

What the survey also found was that knowledge of the risk of sexually transmitted disease was not the determining factor in whether or not young people engaged in unsafe sex, with those aware of the risks just as likely to take risks as those not aware.

I think that this is the most disturbing part of the result.

Youngsters’ behaviours on Valentine’s Day under scrutiny

BANGKOK: -- Motels, entertainment places and public parks have all been urged to guard against inappropriate behaviours of teenagers after a recent survey found that many youngsters planned to have sex on the Valentine's Day.

The government has written to the management and those in charge of those places to try to prevent this, Social Development and Human Security Minister Sora-at Klinpratoom told TNA on Friday.

A more efficient way to prevent teenagers engaging in premature sex was to instil a sense of pride in virginity in them, he said.

Meanwhile, the police will check motels more frequently on the Valentine's Day, next Monday 14 February, to discourage youngsters from using them, Pol. Col. Surat Udomrat, superintendent of the Juvenile and Youth Sub-division told a

panel discussion at Ramathibodi Hospital on Friday.

The speakers at the seminar agreed that the prevalence of pornographic materials is a major cause of early sexual encounters for many Thai children.

This has, in turn, led to other social problems, including abortion, AIDS and prostitution.

Does your "poll" include the input of OB physicians at the Sisaket-area hospitals?
