title: Coitus, oral-genital sex and anal intercourse.
abstract: Current evidence suggests that there is a change of attitude towards more permissive sex among the young and educated people in Thailand compared to other oriental countries. This study aimed to find the frequency of coitus, oral-genital sex and anal intercourse among new female patients who attended the sexual health clinic, Ramathibodi Hospital in 1990. The gynecologist in charge interviewed the patients using a questionnaire. The total number of participants was 408. Coital frequency ranged from < 1 to 7 times per week with 1, 2, 3 as the first three leading rate. There were 107 women (26.2%) and 150 men (36.8%) who had experienced fellatio and cunnilingus, respectively. Only 5.6 per cent had anal intercourse. These findings add more knowledge about the sexual behavior among Thais and that a certain group of people are not strictly conservative in their attitude towards sex and that males are more permissive than females.
