    Pre-Marital Sex. - Part I.

    » Hello Mr. Rooster ; I moved this discussion to this more appropriate thread. Mr. Rooster wrote : "People are like animals, and their sexual drives will involve some types of pre-marital sex. So prostitution will be there to provide needed service. " The sexual urge is indeed extraordinarily powerful,...

    • Anonymous commented : ns to encourage their use for protection against diseases like HIV-Aids. A survey of 350 teenage boys in northeastern Kalasin province found that only 24 percent of them regularly used condoms as they believed it was safe to sleep with someone they knew, it said in a statement. The survey also found that the average age of boys having sex for the first time had dropped from 16 years of age in 1998 to 14 years, due at least partly to their exposure to a more permissive society." This dream of maturity sounds good in theory, but is not easily achieved (I would say impossible to achieve). If you do not allow young people to get married, then they WILL have premarital sex. They will do it in secret (due mostly to the parents forbidding it) and therefore be on their own, chose completely inappropriate partners, bond and then break up (or get ripped apart by our society). The first break up is the worst, crying and not eating for a week, it gets easier every time after that (less of your heart gets ripped out). Then bond again, break up again, listen to their parents telling them sex is bad, yet confused by the powerful signals from their bodies. So the boy is wandering around over here getting his head and heart totally screwed up, the the girl is wandering around over there getting her head and heart totally screwed up, then then we expect them to get together after all this trauma (when they are "mature") and forget everything about the sex is bad and the break ups and the heartbreak, and love each other forever. Quite a confusing message. It's no wonder our kids are confused!! Soon they get pretty good at breaking up. So it should be no surprise when our divorce rate skyrockets. We inadvertently train our kids to be good at breaking up, and then we are surprised when they can't stay together. So after many train wrecks (and probably a few children both in and out of marriage), and inner reflection, this person makes a concious decision to make it work. Great. This type of relationship is just a shell of what if could have been, vibrancy and love replaced by pragmatism. But if this is what you mean by mature, then sorry to say, but I don't want my daughter to be "mature" when she gets married. It was never this way before for many thousands of years. Try to understand that I agree with you that sex should be saved for marriage!! The point I am trying to make is that many years ago, this was EASY!!!! People got married BEFORE their biological urges started. Then incredibly strong bonding occured, therefore few breakups, very few single people to temp the married, in short it was EASY to achieve this. Can you understand what I am saying?? The very situation everyone desires (no sex outside marriage, low divorce rate, etc.) was EASY to achieve before. It was not difficult. It was EASY!! We have arbitrarily decided that you should be "mature" before you get married. This is exactly what is causing all the problems. This is not an unsolvable problem. We have done this to ourselves. By the way all of the information you posted about age of concents is available in my very first post by clicking on the link I provided. So thanks again for your post.

    • Anonymous commented : to the daughter, so have some protection for the future if things go wrong, or they are bad luck in life. When the youngest son of my wife like to married whit a Thai girl from Cjinese origin(Teachuw) they did not like him at first because his skin is rather dark, even he had a good carreer andhis own house. They asked a really big dowry. The invited my wife to visit them. My wife went to them togheter whit her two sisters. The moment they realize that my wife was Teachow also, and come from a good family, the immedeatly stopped to asked a dowry. As a westerner its very strange for me. But I think its have some benifits, They like to protect their daughters future. When a daughter of my wife like to married, she interviewed the groomto be, and she find out that he could not be trusted, so she asked thet the man build a house for her daughter, and 1 million Bath in cash. Of course the man could not provide it, and the marroedge could not take place. later the deughter find out that her mother took the right decision. The man did have some other wife whit a baby somewhere. I did not have to pay any dowry, the family of my wife never asked me something, they treath me like one of the family; whe I visit them they cook the thinghs I like. When I go shopping they go whit me otherwise theires a danger that I pay too much. When i visit them I feel warm, and again I've been married for 30 years, they never asked me something. Maybe its an exeption, but I think there are many family's like that in Thailand. Maybe its because I did meet my wife in Europe, and I visit my Thai family for the first time after 10 years.

    • Anonymous commented : provide a form of security or protection if one has decided early to break the vow, but how effective it can truly be in sorting out the ideal candidate. Do we measure the value of men by their possessions and how much money one can provide? What happen to those that can't provide? Are they then be condemed? I agree with you that life is not perfect. Life is full of obstacles. Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we go through life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. By the way, my life is so far fetched from the fairy tales.

    • Anonymous commented : legal advisers regarding the protection of my assets in Australia... Does a legal registered marriage in Thailand protect the Farang? Or does it differ from a Thai to Thai marriage? She has stated she loves me, and will be loyal as its the Thai culture way and she has been a good person to me over all, so I am split 50/50. No she is Not a Glamour, and not the type of girlfriend I have even dated in my life in any country, she is average looking, tiny/thin and short. But I must say I was and am attracted to her thinking pattern and level of intellect and do see potential as a real life friend/partner or what ever you wish to call it when 2 people have a meeting of the minds 'Soul-Mate? Thanks in advance... Thong Lo (my Thai nick name) lol

    • Anonymous commented : stry Department's forest protection and suppression division, who heads the inquiry, said they had finished compiling documentary evidence relating to the occupation of a 96 rai block of land on Khao Duang Nok mountain. There was evidence on the ground showing that the issuance of title deeds for the plot was illegal, he said. Plans to take legal action against staff involved in issuing the land documents are also being drawn up. The panel had handed its investigation report to caretaker Natural Resources and Environment Minister Yongyuth Tiyapairat. A court order would be sought to revoke the land documents so the land could be returned to the state. The investigation was ordered by Mr Yongyuth following an uproar over an advertisement for the sale of a 514-rai land plot by The Peak property project posted by a foreign firm. The project developer was selling the land for eight million baht a rai, totalling more than 4.1 billion baht. The probe report handed to Mr Yongyuth found that title had been unlawfully issued for 96 rai of land on Khao Duang Nok mountain because the Sor Khor 1 land rights document held by the firm was for only 26 rai, not 96. The Sor Khor 1 paper was needed to apply for the title deed. The issuance of a land document for the firm's second plot, of about 500 rai, was being investigated. Mr Sunthorn said the panel would extend its investigation to look into the issuing of title deeds for ''several hundred rai of land'' on Lamai mountain that had been earmarked for development as a nine-hole golf course. The panel's coordinating centre had been flooded with complaints that several forest and public land areas on the island had been encroached upon, he added. Surat Thani provincial authorities yesterday met local leaders in Koh Samui and Koh Phangan districts to allay residents' fears that their land documents would be revoked as a result of the inquiry. Provincial governor Vichit Vichaisarn gave an assurance that lawfully issued documents would be left untouched. Only areas suspected of part of public or forest land would be investigated, he said.

    • Anonymous commented : eve that you didn't wear protection.... especially if you're married and have kids!!! I can only guess the dilema going through your head (on your shouders) now of the trouble your other head got you into. A. Whether or NOT was this a trap from the beginning of her letting you get her pregnant? B. Was she messing around before/after and got pregnant and see you as a way to support her & her kid? C. Regardless of trap or not, that could be my kid. If I turn by back, I'm abandonning my child. I can only give you an idea of what "I" woud do. I, personally, don't believe in abortion (unless it's a case of rape or some other foul situation) so I'd have to be as tactful as possible (just in case it is my kid) and go along for the time being until I could definitely get medical evidence that it is my kid. If it isn't then... If it is, then there would be no choice (in my own mind based on my own principas) for me but to support the kid. Call me a coward, but I would not admit this to my family and put them through the trauma that it would definitely bring. Some folks here might give you advice that it sounds fishy; sounds like a scam and to walk away. For me.... If I walked away without knowing for sure, I would have nightmares to my last days contemplating: "do I have a child out there who I've abandoned"; What became of him/her as a result? Again, sorry to be frank but next time... don't be sooo... stpd and prevent vs. fix. Also Again, I stress that the above is not any suggestion to you. It is only a comment of what I woud do in your position. rgds / sardines

If outsider could provides the thing that country is short of outsider could do quite well for themselves and the country that has accepted them. The married law in Thailand is no different from self protection policies that another countries might have. The downside could a slow progress as restriction may put off the investment that we need to make better lives for our people. Better jobs availability equal opportunity for our new generation after they graduated from study.
