Conference on sexuality studies held in Bangkok


Academics and non-governmental organisations Monday hosted the country's first "Annual Conference on Sexuality Studies in Thai Society" at Bangkok's Ratanakosin Hotel.

The conference was to inform people on sexual health and help reduce illness and deaths resulting from unprotected sex.

Associate Professor Kritaya Archavanitkul from Mahidol University's Institute for Population and Social Research, said that the conference, which ends today, was the first of its kind aimed at giving the public a new perspective. In the past, older people tended to view the younger generation's sexual expressions as inappropriate and problematic.

Kritaya said the conference wanted society to view that young people were neither the cause of problems nor victims.
