The Thai language has extraordinarily rich, varied, and
multi-leveled vocabularies for sexual anatomy, behaviors,
identities, and attitudes. The authors of this in-depth study deal
directly with the language of sex in Thailand in all its raw,
sometimes humorous, and often derogatory immediacy. The registers
of spoken Thai (phasa phut), the language of the marketplace (phasa
talat), official discourse (phasa ratchakan), literary usages
(phasa khian), and technical and academic vocabularies (phasa
wichakan) are all covered. Much more than a vocabulary list, this
book engages the language of sex and sexuality in Thailand from
critical feminist and queer studies perspectives. The authors take
the positions of women, men who love men, women who love women, and
transgenders as standpoints from which to critique the dominant
male-centered and hetero-normative structures of Thai sexual
culture. Thai Sex Talk showcases the path-breaking research that a
new generation of Thai scholars is conducting on the country's
sexual cultures.
