A Preliminary Study on Taiwanese Sexual Rights from Medical and Legal Perspective
Abstract
Under the influence of sexually conservative Chinese culture, sex has always been an untouchable issue for a long time. As “Sex” has been a long-standing social taboo, sex-related knowledge and discourses have become scarce. The knowledge of the majority of Taiwanese on sex has been obtained from banned books and videos such as porn videos. This made people have the worst knowledge and information on it. No matter how open people are, the ability to feel sexuality rights among sexuality, sexuality education, sexology, trans/Gender studies, and LesBiGay due to the sexual legal norms (SLNs) in Taiwan is always lacking. Therefore, not only can young Taiwanese people enjoy the thrill of riding on the sexual waves, but as time passes, old Taiwanese people are also supposed to enjoy themselves without any pressure from society. Therefore, we developed sexual education on Taiwanese sexuality rights from a legal perspective by integrating the four essential SLNs: (1) the Sexual Harassment Prevention Act was instituted for establishing the sources of law in the various sexuality interactive behaviors; (2) the Act of Gender Equality in Employment was instituted for providing sources of law to promote male and female sexual employment; (3) the Communicable Disease Control Act was instituted for constructing the sources of law to prevent the STDs; and (4) the Gender Equity Education Act was instituted for instituting the sources of law. There is still unfair and unbalanced sexual violence in the current society. Thus, a future study is required to analyze and identify the legal determinants of sexual rights. For this, empirical suggestions were made to form more efficient SLNs for a harmonious and diverse Taiwanese society.
