MSM<br />

Step:<br />

1. Misconceptions (Brainstorming): Ask participants to brainstorm things<br />

which people in their community have been saying about MSM. As each response<br />

is given by participants, one facilitator records each statement on a separate A4<br />

sheet on the wall.<br />

Example Responses:<br />

The examples below are not the required answers, <strong>and</strong> you are not expected to<br />

read them out loud. They are included to illustrate the type of responses expected<br />

<strong>and</strong> can help you identify issues you may want to raise, if they are not raised by<br />

participants. However, you should let each group come up with their own ideas.<br />

Remember: there are no right <strong>and</strong> wrong answers.<br />

Men having sex with men is not Khmer.<br />

Men having sex with men is a mental disorder.<br />

Becoming MSM does not just happen. Rather, men<br />

decide or learn that they want to be MSM.<br />

MSM can be treated to become “normal.”<br />

If you hang around with MSM as friends, you will<br />

easily become MSM.<br />

MSM do not want long-term partners, they only<br />

want casual sex.<br />

All MSM love to have anal sex.<br />

MSM really want to be women.<br />

MSM are only found among educated people.<br />
