This is a list of sex/ sexuality related news mainly in Singapore and Asia in 2021 which I took upon myself to compile only in 2021. This is because through my 12 years of being a sexologist, I’ve wanted but not seen a news/ developments listing specific to Singapore/ Asia for the year.

Each year, I tell myself I would do a better job of documenting or keeping track of news and developments only for the year to fly by as I busy myself in my own work serving my clients and fulfilling my other related work. And so here it is…
