Premature sexual intercourse or sexual intercourse among students has become a major issue in Thailand, as it affected to students’ quality of life such as teen age pregnancy, sexually transmitted infection, education failure, and stigma in society. Aekplakorn, et al, studied sexual behavior among teens aged 10-19 and found that 17.9% of male students had had sexual intercourse and 7.3% of female students had had sexual intercourse [1]. In 2017, 129 teen students had sexually transmitted infection [5]. These situations illustrate that these effects cause from premature-sexual intercourse.
