Media, such as pornographic books or CDs, and the Internet. When children see them, they may follow what they have seen. Alcohol, because it can make us lose control and have sex without full awareness of the situation.
Similar to their parents, teens believed sexual activity and risk taking were common among their peers. They might hear stories from another, and then both of them want to try what they have learned from others….
Touching and kissing are normal in teenagers if they are alone. Sometimes sex might happen. Teens reported that activities that led youth to engage in sex were those providing them with a chance to be alone with each other and express closeness and physical intimacy toward each other e.
Most early initiation of sexual intercourse was unplanned. Special occasions provided unique risk situations.
They believed their peers were more agreeable to having sex during special events e. A boy begs a girl for her telephone number.
They introduce themselves…after making friends, sometimes they go for a date…are physically close in touch…. If they have a chance, they will have sex….

This movie teaches us a lot about sex. School is where students spend most time during the day—usually with their teachers and schoolmates.
It is the place where structures, rules and penalties are formally set up. It is also the first place where teens spend time together.
Schools are responsible for teaching and providing students with an education. Society believes that students must be strictly controlled to make sure that they are moving forward in the right direction.
Additionally, any diversity among them should be eliminated to make it easier for schools to control them. These examples of control were repeated from several students across two FGDs: one school has a rule that female and male students are not allowed to sit side by side anywhere within the school property, and other schools have a rule that dating between the opposite sex is not allowed.
Many schools instigate fear on their students, that they will be condemned if they are dating and then later become pregnant while in school Fig.
Some of them did not continue their study [even after the pregnancy]. They had to work in sugarcane plantations or rice farms, which is more exhausting than studying If the scores get too low, they will have to attend a military camp in order to readjust their attitudes and behavior.
In many Thai public schools, students are given a set score for their good behaviors at the beginning of the year. Then for the rest of the year, this score may be reduced overtime as punishments, and if the minimum threshold is surpassed, then the student is expelled immediately from that school.
This group will be responsible for monitoring the sexual behaviors of their peers both inside and outside of school, including online spaces such as Facebook and Line chat groups.
Any female student who is reported will face different levels of punishment: Level 1—teachers will call them and give a warning; Level 2—teachers will reduce their behavioral scores each student begins with and once scores fall below a certain level, students are expelled from the school ; and Level 3—teachers will ask their parents to come to school.
They even make their own clip videos. Sometimes the way they express themselves makes them look like a stripper I have spies who are good students.
They will dig some information about those [bad] students for us. In every Thai school, all students will gather each morning in front of the flagpole for the national anthem.
After that, teachers will provide them with school updates, preach about life and importance of studying. In some schools, teachers choose to punish students in this space, in front of everyone.
These types of stigma created and sustained by school administrators and teachers also contribute to the high drop-out rates of pregnant students, especially in big cities.
Although by law, pregnant students are allowed to continue their studies in schools, but in reality, pregnant students receive tremendous social pressures and negative remarks from school administrators, teachers and even by their peers, which subsequently forces them to drop out of school.
Here is what I usually suggest to pregnant students: I think you should drop out of school for now and come back to study again after you give birth to your baby.
Teachers who teach sex education to students should have an open-minded attitude, understanding of rights and equality, good teaching techniques, acceptance of diversity, being funny and generous, acting like father or counselor, and being able to give proper guidelines when they have problems.
We have to teach the students every aspect. We must allow them to share their ideas, encourage them to critically think and make decisions by themselves They admitted to producing pornographic content and uploading such m aterial onto a computer network since June.
Apart from sex or gender, other individual characteristics such as age of the child, parental religiosity and family structure are associated with sexual communication in family.
There is evidence to suggest that religiously active parents are less likely to talk to their teenage children about sex and birth control but are more likely to talk about the morality of adolescent sex Regnerus, and negative consequences of sex Swain, Ackerman and Ackerman, The studies also revealed the influence of parental religiosity on parent-child communication about sex and birth control are outweighed by the effects of certain family characteristics.
For instance, parents talk to their teens about sex and birth control more often when they believe their children have had sex and parents talk with girls and older teens more often than with boys and younger teens.
In addition, single-parents are more likely than two-parent families to discuss sex and birth control with their teenage children Regnerus, Although a large number of international studies have examined the impact of family factors, including parent - child communication on adolescent sexual risk behavior, relatively few studies have examined characteristics of parents who talk to their teens about sex.
There is also little research that examines family contextual variables i. In Thailand, research to examine the impact of parent-teen communication about sex on teen sexual risk behavior and research to explore how individual characteristics and family context could affect parent-teen sexual communication are both limited.
Subsequently, there is presently insufficient data to understand the role of Thai parents in sexual education and their role remains poorly understood.
This study examines sexual communication among Thai parents and their teens and identifies variables related to parent-teen communication about sex in urban Thai families.
We hypothesize that Thai parents will be more likely to communicate about sex with teenage girls and if they have a close relationship with their teens.
Parents who believe their teens are involved in sexual activity will be more likely to talk about sex, compared to those who do not believe that their teens are sexually active.
The study also investigates whether parent individual characteristics i. The data for this analysis were gathered as part of the baseline survey of Thai Family Matter Project, conducted in April - June , targeting urban communities in 7 districts of Bangkok Metropolis Miller et.
Respondents were recruited from families whose children were 13 — 14 years of age and living with either parents or guardians. At the first stage of data collection, we divided the Bangkok Metropolis into three areas: inner, middle, and outer areas.
The research team then selected seven districts from 50 districts of the three areas, using the probability proportional to size technique PPS.
From each district, 35 study blocks of households were randomly selected by the National Statistical Office using the PPS technique, resulting in a total of blocks.
As a result, 30, households were identified across the seven districts. Of these households, October 17, Jasmina Yap March 2, The Laotian Times.

Parents are expected to provide accurate information about sex and to foster positive sexual values, including responsible sexual decision-making for their teenage children.
While several previous studies have examined the importance of sexual communication between parents and teens in other settings, very little is known about sexual communication in Thailand.
The majority of studies have been conducted in the western countries, which found that increases in parent-teen communication about sex is associated with the delay of sexual initiation, increased condom use and more effective contraception use Aspy et al.
Another explanation of these inconsistent findings relates to the quality of sexual communication which is more relevant in reducing sexual risk behavior than other dimensions of the communication.
Specifically, the positive influence of parent - child communication about sexuality on teen sexual behavior only occurs when the communication style is considered to be open, friendly, and comfortable Dutra, Miller and Forehand, ; East, ; Miller, Norton, Fan and Christopherson, ; Whitaker, Miller, May and Levin, Thus, a satisfying parent-child relationship and responsive parents appear to create an environment for open and clear communication between parents and teens, which in turn will contribute to positive teen sexual behaviors.
Although parent — teen communication about sex is to a great extent, focused on reducing sexual risk behaviors or promoting responsible and safe sex among teenagers, talking about sex is not a simple task.
Furthermore, it is not a common practice of parents in the Thai social context. Despite the widespread availability of media containing depictions of sexual matters, as well as an emerging attitude of greater acceptance of westernization among urban Thai families, open discussions about sex are still hindered by cultural taboos and ensuing secrecy.
The difficulty and discomfort many Thai parents experience when discussing about sex is supported by a few locally conducted studies.
For example, a study conducted by the Family Health Division of the Department of Health in Thailand assessed the readiness to provide information about sexual matters of parents from 16 provinces Thailand Ministry of Public Health, The results showed that Another study by Kaewkamol revealed that parents felt reluctant and embarrassed when talking about sex with their children, especially with family members of the opposite sex.
With regard to gender differences, several studies across the region including China, have found that mothers play a more significant role in sexual communication than fathers and that girls receive more communication than boys Rosenthal, Senserrick and Feldman, ; Jaccard and Dittus, ; Raffaelli, Bogenschneider and Flood, ; Schouten, van den Puttle, Pasmans and Meeuwesen, ; Atienzo et al.
Similarly, two other studies suggest that communication may be more productive for daughters as compared to sons, and this may further depend on whether the communication between parent and teen is with the same-sex or opposite sex Dilorio et al.
Thus, gender could be a potential factor that affects all aspects of parent-child communication about sex Kirby, ; Romer et al.
Apart from sex or gender, other individual characteristics such as age of the child, parental religiosity and family structure are associated with sexual communication in family.
There is evidence to suggest that religiously active parents are less likely to talk to their teenage children about sex and birth control but are more likely to talk about the morality of adolescent sex Regnerus, and negative consequences of sex Swain, Ackerman and Ackerman, The studies also revealed the influence of parental religiosity on parent-child communication about sex and birth control are outweighed by the effects of certain family characteristics.
For instance, parents talk to their teens about sex and birth control more often when they believe their children have had sex and parents talk with girls and older teens more often than with boys and younger teens.

A girl believes if she has sex with a boyfriend, he will love her more and more, and will not leave her. Additionally, youth informants stated that factors leading their peers engaging in sexual risk-taking behaviors were curiosity, hearing about sex from one another, spending time alone together, and pornographic media.
Physical stimulation, such as touching each other, hugging, and kissing, could also lead young people to want a more intimate sexual relationship.
Most sexual behaviors among youth were likely to occur when parents were unaware of teenage risk. They will let their friends know they have a boyfriend…will show their friends they can find someone who likes them.
The boy might play a sex video. He wants his girl to want to have sex. That offers the chance to let their kids have sex. They kiss and touch each other…have sex at their house….
They have not planned to before…. ID 28 boy. Although parents believed Thai teens in general began having sex at an early age, they trusted their teens would follow their guidance and rules to not engage in sexual activity at this age.
Their perception was that their teen s stayed home and were honest about their activities. I told him it is not time to have a girlfriend now.
I believe he never engages in any sexual activities, because he does not go anywhere. I will warn her sometimes about drugs and sex. She is not stubborn and she is obedient….
She will tell the truth, not lie. These dreams are shaped by the Thai male-dominated society [ 29 ]. Thai women, for example, may feel guilty if they have sex before marriage, which violates social expectations and social scripts.
Having first sexual relation with someone before marriage usually makes young Thai women feel guilty, confused and insecure.
Their guilt may even become intensified when they learn that the man they had sex with is not a good man or someone they deserve [ 29 ].
Social structures at all levels have played a key role in exercising biopower over young Thai women [ 20 ], which forces them to be obedient and submissive to the dominant discourse.
They are constantly controlled by society, even in their dreams. Men want to make sure that women follow their teachings, rules, and traditional practices determined or expected by society.
If they fail to follow these rules, such as having sex before marriage, having sex with someone other than their husband, or having sex with more than one man, it will make them feel guilty and not a good woman.
For example, if they become pregnant while in school, not only will they know they will be punished, stigmatized, and condemned by society; they will also feel that they deserve to be punished.
Additionally, they will also stigmatize themselves as an undesirable person. They will feel guilty, ashamed, and find it difficult to live happily in their everyday lives [ 30 ].
These situations also make them stressful, and to cherish their virginity. This phenomenon then reproduces sexual control over and over to future generations.
The exercise of biopower is therefore so sophisticated that young women do not feel that they are being controlled [ 9 ].
This kind of power is clearly exercised by authorities such as teachers, parents and the general moralistic values of society.
On the other hand, biopower also triggers self-surveillance among young Thai women, who try to resist any sexual controls over them. Ironically, while in quest of their sexual independence, both in offline and online spaces, they still have to conceal some truths and continue conforming to the social expectations under the influence of the reproduced male-dominated discourse e.
It is remarkable that students in Thailand face such control over their sexuality, as indicated by our findings. Thailand is widely known for its openness of gender and sexuality diversity and expression, whether it be through the openness of sex work and sex markets, the proliferation of gender and sexual identities, the frank discussion of sex and sexuality in social media, and even representations of homosexuality and transgender people [ 15 , 17 , 31 , 32 ].
Despite all of this, Thai schools and Thai parents are extremely conservative when it comes to sex education for young people.
The importance of comprehensive sexuality education in Thai contexts is still overlooked, especially topics on sexual rights, gender, power, and negotiation.
Most female students, for example, still lack a general understanding about their sexual rights. Although they are taught about sex education in school, they do not necessarily have access to practical information about sexuality that they can actually apply to real life [ 11 ].
That is why they are forced to seek information about sex and sexuality by themselves from the Internet [ 33 ]. The Internet has become safe spaces for young Thai women seeking knowledge and seeking a place to express their sexuality.
At the same time, these women also use online spaces to resist, negotiate and monitor others too. Online spaces, therefore, become a playground for operations of discourse as well as spaces for escaping, negotiating, and developing their gender identities that may or may not strictly conforms social expectations.
Their identities are therefore an embodiment of the contestation of sexual independence and of conformity to social expectations. Through a technology of self, which is part of their resistance, these young women redefine this identity as self-awareness [ 20 ].
With this new meaning of their newfound identities, they can grow, learn and become subjects in the sexuality contexts in Thai society. And we can put the resources and time into something else.
Globally, the legal status of sex work is divided into three broad categories: criminalization, legalization and decriminalization.
The legalization model regulates the registration, health care, and welfare of sex workers. In contrast, the decriminalization model simply removes penalties for pursuing the activity.
There are also hybrid models, such as the Nordic model in countries such as Sweden and Norway, which blend elements of legalization and decriminalization.
