Plastic Bags Not A Wise Substitute For Condoms: Thai Health Ministry

[harrry]

I actually was impressed by the original article. It recognised that some children of 13 are secually active and did not moralize. It stated the problem which is easy access to condoms and pointed out health risks of the plastic bag. thanks to the work of K. Meechai Thailand has a fairly open recognition of the use of condoms.

Ways to make them more accessible are needed and hp[efully will occur, in schools and neighbourhood shops but in village areas where neighbours know everything about what people buy and do it may be a problem with embarrassment.

Before western people throw too many stones, I used to work a while ago in New Zealand in a hospital which had many children with problems who were sexually active. It was then actually illegal for anyone, including the doctors and nurses to give any form of sexual instruction to a person under 16 and that included contraceptionadvice or providing condoms.

Thailand does some things right and in this case I think they have.

If only I could have foreseen the future when the sale of condoms were down to rock bottom. I would have staked all my savings into the condom companies such as Durex, which was the largest group of condom manufacturers at the time. Perhaps I could have been a rich man today.

Yes, indeed. There are many, many hindsight multi-millionaires.
