成人与儿童的性接触: 儿童卖淫 3

贩卖儿童的主要路径是从较贫穷国家到较富裕国家，也就是说，通常从南到北和从东到西。不过，伴随着经济状况的变化，确切的贩卖路线可能会迅速发生改变。这些商人只对利润感兴趣和只会追逐他们的“市场”需求。如今，儿童卖淫大多数存在于东南亚、拉丁美洲和东欧的一些贫穷国家里。这些区域也以性观光旅游的目的地而闻名。

当然，性观光旅游以相反的方向运转着，即从较富裕国家向较贫穷国家——从北到南和从西到东。从美国、澳洲、欧洲和日本来的相对富裕的旅游者能够在相对贫穷的国家为性接触花得起钱，并且其中有一些人专挑儿童。这并不意味着当地的男人就不利用已经增加的性接触机会。甚至，其中一些男人错误地以为通过与处女性交能够治疗艾滋病，那么，这种迷信会把年轻女孩置于极其危险的境地。在许多发展中国家，恰恰是女孩低贱的社会地位才使她们尤其容易受到性剥削。不过，失业和缺乏教育也迫使一些男孩成为妓男。

Adult Sexual Contact with Children: Child Prostitution 3

The main child trafficking routes are from poorer to richer countries, that is to say, generally from south to north and east to west. However, the exact itineraries can change quickly with changing economic conditions. The traffickers are interested only in money and follow the demands of their “market”. Today, child prostitution is found mostly in Southeast Asia, in Latin America, and in some poor countries of Eastern Europe. These areas are also known as destinations for sex tourism.
Sex tourism, of course, moves in the opposite direction, i.e. from the richer to the poorer countries - from north to south and west to east. Relatively rich tourists from the USA, Australia, Europe, and Japan can afford to pay for sexual contacts in relatively poor developing countries, and a few of these tourists seek out children. This does not mean that local men do not take advantage of the increased sexual opportunities. Indeed, some of these men erroneously believe that AIDS can be cured by sexual intercourse with a virgin, and this superstition puts very young girls in great danger. In many developing countries it is the low social status of girls that makes them especially vulnerable to sexual exploitation. However, unemployment and a lack of education also force some boys to become prostitutes.

Sex tourism in Southeast Asia
The illustration shows the main destinations preferred by sex tourists from various developed countries. It is important to realize, however, that only a very small minority of these tourists has a sexual interest in children. The overwhelming majority is looking for sexually mature prostitutes who are capable of full sexual responses - mostly young women, in some cases young men.
