利用定量和定性数据，我们探讨了居住在泰国清迈市区的1750多名17-20岁年轻人对性生活方式和性关系的看法和经历。我们主要通过深度访谈和焦点小组讨论，辅以观察和实地记录，关注受访者对其性/性别身份的表述和理解。我们的研究结果显示，虽然许多泰国年轻人将自己描述为异性恋女性或男性，但其他人将自己描述为同性恋、同性恋、同性恋、双性恋或其他什么。这些术语gay， katheey， tom和dii通常被这些泰国人用来表示一系列性/性别身份，这些身份与性或浪漫地被同性吸引的人有关。我们使用案例研究来说明这些身份的独特特征、性生活方式和关系，以及可能的健康影响。
Using quantitative and qualitative data we explore perspectives on and experiences of sexual lifestyles and relationships among more than 1750 young people aged 17-20 years who reside in urban Chiang Mai, Thailand. We focus on respondents' representations and understandings of their sexual/gender identities derived mainly from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions, supplemented with observations and field notes. Our results show that while many young Thais described themselves as heterosexual women or men, others described themselves as gay, kathoey, tom, dii, bisexual or something else. The terms gay, kathoey, tom and dii are commonly used by these Thais to denote a range of sexual/gender identities relating to persons who are sexually or romantically attracted to the same sex. We use case studies to illustrate the distinctive characterisations, sexual lifestyles and relationships of each of these identities, together with possible health implications.
