Abstract
This study aims at exploring the several sexual experiences and sexual orientation among medical students at Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Questionnaires were given to all medical students during 1982-1988. Almost all, 93 per cent of the males (593/633) and 92 per cent (211/224) of the females completed the questionnaire. All males had had ejaculation. Eighty-four per cent of the males and 28.1 per cent of the females experienced nocturnal sex dreams. Ninety-eight per cent of the males and 47.8 per cent of the females masturbated. Most of the first events occurred incidentally among both sexes. Sixty-one per cent of the males and 1.5 per cent of the females had engaged in sexual intercourse. Most of the males had their first coital experience with prostitutes. Homosexual experience was admitted in 13 per cent of male and 3.4 per cent of female students. Almost 20 per cent of both sexes were either exclusively homosexual or bisexual.
