Sexual Morals and Sexual Behavior in Vietnam is a book about the Vietnamese everyday life after a major economic reform (Doi Moi) in 1986. By focusing on three topics (HIV/AIDS, premarital sexual behavior and abortion), this book discusses the way in which political decision making on national level is able to influence everyday life, expected and unexpected; from the visibility of wealth in the streets of Hanoi to the sexual behavior of unmarried couples in their bedrooms.
