First Sex Museum in Thailand
Bangkok has the honor of hosting Asia's first sex museum. If the reader now makes a connection with the various sex museums as we know them in the West, then you have to adjust that image. This is because this is a project with the aim of preventing unwanted pregnancies and STDs among the Thai youth.
To this end, the National Science Museum (NSM) is joining forces with UNESCO and the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (ThaiHealth).
NSM director Pichai Sonchaeng says that the Sex Museum was established with the aim of raising awareness about sex among young people. The Bureau of Registration Administration under the Interior Ministry reports that 262 child and adolescent pregnancies are registered every day.
Lack of parental sex education is a major cause of the problem. As a result, young people are dependent on information of friends and acquaintances, which in many cases fall short. The lack of knowledge of contraception is also part of the problem.
The museum is educational for both parents and the target group itself. The center consists of six educational rooms with different topics: love & lust, intercourse and communication, sexual relations, childbirth and contraception, sexually transmitted diseases and individual sexual well-being.
The UNESCO Director in Bangkok stated that a 2008 survey of HIV/AIDS found that 40% of young people aged 15-24 in Thailand have little to no knowledge of STDs and birth control. These figures show that it is necessary to make young people in Thailand aware of the importance of sex education through new and creative initiatives.

in Shanghai China (currently very popular for a WorldEXPO - but the visitors are 99,99% Chinese) has been a sex museum for several years now, which the prudish party that rules everything should not be called that. it mainly showed pictures and images from the time when things were not so prudish.
And it was moved for a year or two to such a remote and almost impossible to find suburb - where the Chinese are building all those hundreds of millions of empty condos to boost their economy.
