Screenshot of online journal article featuring the title "Partnership-based sexual 
behaviours among adults in Singapore: a cross-sectional population survey" 

A J, Gan G, Endo A, Tan RKJ, Howard N, Prem K, et al. Partnership-based sexual behaviours among adults in Singapore: A cross-sectional population survey. BMJ Public Health. 2026;4:e004042. doi:10.1136/bmjph-2025-004042Curious about sex in Singapore?

How often do adults (aged 21-60) engage in different types of sexual activity with partners, such as mutual masturbation, oral sex, anal sex, and vaginal sex? 

What are these patterns and how do they vary across one's age, gender, and sexual 
orientation? 

How do sexual behavior patterns correlate with one's engagement with sex workers and sexually transmitted infections (STI) status?

We address these questions in our study. 

Footer: 
Partnership-based sexual behaviours among adults in Singapore: A cross-sectional population survey in BMJ Public HealthWhy does understanding sex in Singapore matter? 

Learning about sexual health and behaviors is important for promoting overall public health in the local context. However, cultural norms and societal values in Singapore as elsewhere in Asia often prevent us from having an open conversation about sexual matters. 

Our study informs targeted sexual health interventions, such as STI screening and 
prevention, and public health messaging in Singapore and the broader Southeast Asian 
region.

How has the rise of Asian popular culture in the twenty-first century expanded our understanding of global Asias? In what ways might media representations empower or disempower Asian and Asian American and Pacific Islander individuals, as well as those belonging to other diasporic communities?
Popular Culture Across Global Asias: Identity, Diaspora, and Representation
In this panel, we explore the complexities of and intersections between popular culture, identity, and representation across “Global Asias,” broadly defined in terms of geographical regions and discourses as well as larger transnational relations and imaginations. How has the rise of Asian popular culture in the twenty-first century expanded our understanding of global Asias? In what ways might media representations empower or disempower Asian and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) individuals, as well as those belonging to other diasporic communities? Since the second half of the twentieth century, increased and easier exchange of popular culture and media have helped Asian diasporic communities maintain closer ties with communities in their homelands. The emergence of global Asian studies further provided conceptual and methodological possibilities for bridging popular media across transnational Asias. This panel centers how media and popular cultures can enable solidarity, identity formation, and community building through such forms of representations, as well as how the fluidity of popular culture as a field of scholarship intersects with Asia-focused area studies.

This discussion welcomes scholars, activists, and artists to share their latest work (whether in the beginning stages or near completion) that touch upon (multi)media representations of Asian, AAPI, and Asian diasporic bodies that challenge or reaffirm traditional frameworks of area studies.

Possible topics for submission may include but are not limited to:

Feminist embodiment and gendered bodies in media and popular cultures
LGBTQ+ representation and social movements in media and popular cultures
Race/ethnicity and representation in media and popular cultures
Intersectional identities, intimacies, and communities in gaming, dating apps, and social media platforms

attended and engaged with our presentation at #ICA26 International Communication 
Association (ICA) Annual Conference!"Dr Michelle Ho in front of a presentation slide titled "'It's Becoming More Common Online:' Technology-Facilitated Sexual violence in Singapore" 

Image is captioned:
What impact do digital technologies have on sexual violence in Singapore? We addressed this primary question in our presentation. Drawing on surveys and interviews conducted with Nanyang Technological University (NTU) students, we shared their experiences of online sexual harms. Besides the prevalence of such harms, as expressed by one participant that sexual violence is "becoming more common online," we explored what research and awareness gaps remain.Dr Michelle Ho in front of a presentation slide that reads "Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence (TFSV): a range of behaviors using or aided by various digital technologies to harm, offend, humiliate, or intimidate individuals" 

Caption reads:
During the Q&A we discussed a multitude of issues concerning ethics (e.g. feminist ethics of care), mandatory reporting of known crimes, research on perpetrator behaviors, and terminologies used to name technology-facilitated sexual violence (TFSV) instead of other terms (e.g. online sexual harms in Singapore), as well as how these practices might vary across different national and sociocultural contexts.Find out more about our project!
