Sex Study: Survey reveals young Thais don’t know enough about sex and relationships

By Coconuts Bangkok

A Unicef study released yesterday revealed that the sex ed taught in most Thai schools is hardly prepping Thais for healthy relationships or sex lives.

 

The Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) program is taught in most Thai high schools. But rather than educate about gender, relationships, consent, and disease prevention, it was found that the contents of the program are a narrow set of lessons about abstinence before marriage and how to prevent pregnancy.  

 

The lessons that aren’t being taught leave some young Thais with poor ideas about relationships, sex, and even about their own bodies.

That's because sex is bad. People in Thailand only have sex to make babies. Us farangs come here and force our sexy sex on the locals. They know we do this because we are open about it. 

 

If you're a powerful man or woman, you can simply tell teenagers not to have sex. They have so much respect for you that they won't do it. Let's just ignore all the teens that do.

Yep had to put up with a young man sitting in running car for 20 mins outside of next doors house then the girl coming out & carrying on like a chook so the whole street could here here as the young man had no balls yet

[robertthesculptor]

But apparently they know a lot more then the ill educated leaders both moral leaders and secular leaders. The so called moral leaders cannot decide whether or not they play the game so untill they figure that out should shut up.and if they choose to be celibate, then they have no right to mandate foolishness to the masses. 

And the secular leaders? Oh my until there is some leval of education and sophistication they need to be less imparitive about their bad education

Thai adults have no quams with having sex with the underaged teens,but god forbid to educate them about sex and

how it can lead pregnancy and such.  This is the twisted logic of Thailand, at least in my opinion.  Something has to

change, but it won't for a while yet, as the adult minds in Thailand have to be changed

I think Thai teens know a lot more  about sex and relationships than they are willing to admit to their parents and other "authority" figures.

I once made the mistake of telling my then 50 year old Thai girlfriend that her 15 year old grand-daughter might have a "boyfriend" and it might be time to have a talk with the girl about sex and protection from disease and HIV,

It started a bi family fight, and  I was assured that the grand-daughter was a "good girl" and would never do such a thing.

The grand daughter was 15, the boy involved was 18, and I was right.

But my Thai girlfriend never really forgave me for telling "bad stories" about the grand daughter, even when she found out the truth.

I am appalled that adults just do not get it that teaching abstinence and preaching morality to young people is never going to solve the problem of teenage pregnancy!  However, it seems to be OK if a young woman is raped and then forced to marry her rapist.  Of course, this occurs after a proper payment to the parents and other interested parties.

 

Please don't get mad, it is just my opinion!

[SiamBeast]

Well, abstinence before marriage and preventing pregnancy is the way to go. Now I understand it won't always happen like that, but I told my wife several times, "the difference between you being my wife or being just a booty call is your virginity" and her family thinks the same.

 

You can see this whatever way you want, but many men refrain from marriage simply because finding a virgin is becoming harder. If my girl walked down the aisle in a white dress, I couldn't keep thinking about her previous relationship and that I'm marrying a girl that got deflowered by another guy before. It would always be on the back on my mind and would prevent me from fully enjoying the relationship.

 

Now, in this f(u)cked up generation, prevention is key - they should KNOW how to use condoms and birth control, WHILE being taught that no man in the world likes a former carousel rider. And leave it up to them whether they want to be a wife, or just have fun. And teens should be taught that getting pregnant is the worst idea in the world, and that if you pop out a kid as a teen, you completely destroyed your chances of ever finding a husband (unless you get old and find a sucker ready to take care of your kid "as his own", a.k.a. a weak man). In short, give her all options and all information, TRY to steer her towards the correct one, and let her make the final decision.

A lot of the older generation don't know much about sex & relationships too.

It's not just a young Thai issue.

Most girls get there sex education from there brother or uncle.

And you, of course, were also a virgin, right?

Men don't have to.

 

Double standard? Maybe, but it's how things are.

 

Men, though, are expected to provide for the family. Have enough financial resources. Solve problems. Take care of the kids' education. Be a good male figure for the family.

In exchange, the only thing I ask my wife is to be a virgin. Just 1 thing, and I take take care of the rest. I think the deal is fair.

 

Just 1 thing. ONE thing. Is that too much of a task?

growing in an Asian Society, Sex was never discussed between the family or even in schools with our Teachers.

In our teenage years, We all learn from after school hanging out in one of the boy's room watching blue films and then some us lucky guys get to experiment with the other girls in school.

 

Then came the internet, Godbless Napster and Limewire, we get porn more easily available.

 

In this day and age, Internet is everywhere and easily available in the palms of our hands just a click away.

Camfrog Thailand is full of young underage girls dancing nude for some fast cash.

 

The Thai education system has to recognise the advances of Technology and progress along with it. 

Sex ED and Relationships should be taught and discuss openly between School Counsellors and students. 

 

Sex is seen and used as a means of control over another. 

I will give an example, Recently this 20 year old girl opposite my shop wanted a BF. So 1 night she went to a club with some friends. Spotted a guy she liked. Brought him home for one night stand. Then she kept calling him over n over again. She told her mother about it and said she really like this guy and had sex with him thinking that was enough to make him her BF. The Mum called the guy up and met up with him to negotiate terms like now you already slept with my girl so you must take responsibility. The very next day the guy disappeared, change HP, block facebook, block LINE.

The next week, this young girl had another BF already...

 

I am shocked at how the Mum did not taught her daughter that its not right to look for a Relationship like that and instead kinda endorsed her daughter's action by pressuring the guy.

 

There are many teenage pregnancies in Thailand as well as many teenage girls and boys do not know about protection, and sometimes they just want to have a baby so as to lock the girl or to lock the guy down.

 

There are many other examples of how sex is view here in Thailand and I can go on and on.

 

I am not saying its not ok to have fun. I am saying Have Fun and make informed responsible choices

Sex ED needs to be addressed urgently in Thailand.

Sleeping with a guy in hope that he'll commit to you is like writing an essay and realizing on page 5 that you're writing on the wrong topic.

Its a good thing then that Thailand have a number of clinics that a woman can go to and have her virginity restored.

[4MyEgo]

That would explain those occasional vacuum cleaner blow jobs that almost dismember your private, but its good, but its bad, but its good, but its bad at the same time, you struggle, but you go all the way to the end, as uncomfortable and erotic they are at the same time 555

Wow what an ugly and untrue blanket statement.  What happened to you here that made you hate Thai people so much?

[YetAnother]

can likely say this about any society

[seahorse]

Not just Thai teenagers who don't know enough about sex and relationships. Pretty much most people who haven't swallowed The Red Pill.

There are quite a few, from 30,000 baht. Most of their customers, according to someone I know who works there, are Muslim girls (80%+). While it is hard to ascertain with zero doubt that a woman is a virgin, there are several signs to look for - even if she got surgery, there will be behavorial differences between her and a true virgin. It all comes down to how it looks like, how much you trust her, how she acts, and who she has in her life.

It might be double standard, but if my daughter made a mistake and gave her virginity to a random guy, I'd be tempted to take her to that clinic... would I do it? Tough choice - I'd leave it up to her I think.

This was the way to go in the 1950's - era where, despite the lack of advanced technology,

- Kids were playing outside rather than inside with eyes glued on their smartphones.

- Kids weren't addicted to Xanax and other drugs like that. They were just "little brats" and sent outside to use their energy surplus.

- Girls were mostly virgins for their husbands, although a few carousel riders hid it well, and girls were way better wifes before feminism destroyed it all.

- Families were a mother, father, and kid, which is now marginalized. Divorces rates were low and families grew healthy.

- People knew how to talk to each other, develop social skills, and make friends rather than friending people on Facebook.

So I'd go back to that era anytime, knowing what today's era has become.

The attitudes and values required to express this honest opinion screams the need for a more mature, less misogynistic view of human relationships. How come medieval attitudes persist in supposedly well-educated societies?

Oh holier the thou. Were you a virgin? God forbid a person having sex previously, then with you so bothered by their filthy tainted past. Grow up!

And you obviously didn't read my reply on page 1 before posting this idiotic reply. This is the sole and only thing that I require from my wife. For the rest, she can do whatever she wants (reasonably).

[Moonlover]

I am quite prepared to accept that the results and conclusions of this  survey are true. But I do not believe for one moment that this a Thai specific problem at all.

 

It is a worldwide phenomena that affects just about all countries and societies to a greater or lesser degree and is most prominent in those countries where the cloying negative affects of religion prevail. Hence, it is more prominent in Asian countries, particularly Muslim ones, but I include all religions in this observation.

 

It is religion that induces mankind to think that, sex is dirty, a women must be a virgin, same gender sex is evil, contraception is against god's laws, sex is for procreation only, only chaste males can be god's servants. And the list goes on and on.

 

There is one thing that I am truly grateful for in my upbringing. It was a completely none religious one. But even so, it was completely devoid any knowledge whatsoever of sex or relationships. I had to stumble through it the hard way, with many pitfalls and mistakes along the way. Because, although my parents were none religious, they were still affected, to some degree by its inhibiting affects.
