ABOUT 11 percent of young Filipino males have had homosexual sex, according to a survey released Friday, raising concerns about the spread of AIDS.

The University of the Philippines (UP) polled 20,000 males aged 15-24 in May 2002.

"This is more common among the boys in school and the younger adolescent where there is no benchmark data on this," Corazon Raymundo of the UP Population Institute told reporters.

"Sex becomes risky when the partners are not physiologically and psychologically prepared for the consequences of the act," she added.

"This is the basis for adult society's concerns about adolescent sex because risks are magnified in this group."

The survey also found that 23 percent of those questioned were sexually promiscuous, while 35 percent were sexually inactive.

Raymundo said homosexual sex entailed higher risk of spreading sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS.

mmm... anyone surprised? i'm not quite, really.

i know someone who attended an all-boys school back in HS. he said that one time, when the class was in the computer lab his seatmate was staring blankly at the monitor. my friend noticed that a "miracle" was happening courtesy of their gay classmate.

all they have to do is wear a condom.

and probably a high colonic or enema. *horrified by the fact of male-male relationship!*

im not suprised either...

me too, eh my neighbor nga is telling some stories that his male and gay friends did a liveshow in front of him eh...

11% seems alot, is homosexuality that common there???

somehow it is common, others are still against it but there is nothing they can do if these guys want to have a relationship with the same sex.

ows talaga? sino yan? kilala ko ba yan?

baka hindi kasi di naman lumalabas eh.. pero si joey po yun...

you guys are soo narrowminded.

naku...11% is alot...never new about that...male amle relationship...uhhh, no offence but......hehe

that is f@cking awesome wow 11% gay sex man mind blowing.. but that don't mean they're gay. they just had gay sex see! dude whoa that rocks.

bwahh ahahahahaha, your funny...just kidding

How about female to female relationships?


A friend of mine said that in some exclusive schools where there are no male students female-female relationships do happen

I'm pretty sure it does...

I also think that they come up with 11% based on the people that were surveyed .

hehehe

How about the people from the US?

Ewan ko basta alam ko maraming Homosexuals d2. It sobvious, you see them everywhere

So it was UP who conducted that research............

They could just be looking around UP campus ..................

i think it should've been more than 11%. some are just discreet about it, i think.

and yeah, i think that having gay sex doesn't mean that one's gay or something... maybe the straight boys are just curious. i heard of this boy who had this but then he's straight, he even had a girlfriend.

This is very alarming!

para bang Virus.... siguro dahil dumami ang bading dahil sa kagat ng mga lamok.. kasi ang lamok nagkakalat ng virus.. LoL.

Hahaha 11% is nothing compare to Sydney. Lolz

true. but that is not ideally what a predominantly Catholic nation should be. Australia is more liberal too. u can't really compare both but as a nation probably, yes.

Is Cuong from Sydney?

wasn't there like a surge of priests having homosexual acts with the church boys few years back... if they can do it, haha, then everyone can as well.

Now the world is having a moral decline!
