Abstract
It is notable that so far there has hardly been any work focusing on sexuality in Thailand, especially from Thai scholars who are working for women and call themselves feminists. On the contrary, their work is journeying over the issues of gender equity and women's oppression or other issues relating to women's bodies; for example, rape, abortion, or physical abuse. Anyhow, the above-mentioned areas of study are built only around the bodily context while the crucial key problems are not touched. As a result, their work is ' more or less a labyrinth in the sense that there is no way out for subverting unbalanced power relations prevailing in society. To me, a study of these key problems-a particular mode of behaviors which are tied to morality, sexuality which is conducted under the administration of power, and misconceptions on sexuality is a significant strategy to subvert power domination between different genders.
