Here in Manchester, there are over 50 brothels I doubt they contain women who need to send money back home (although a few might), but are filled with women from all walks of life. Yet here in the UK many will tell you there is no need to sell your body for sex, but there are many who choose to do so. And the money is there to be made! So sex tourism will never end in south east Asia, so long as western men want to have easy sex with Asian women.

But one of the worst parts of this (to me). Is the lack of respect that many of these men show to the women of these countries they frequent. The term LBFM is commonly used to describe Thai or Filipino women, it stands for "little brown f****** machines".
Hi Northerner - I agree with everything you said (although I will have to take your word for it about the 50 brothels in Manchester ). They say it is the oldest trade in the world and I suspect that they (whoever they may be) are correct. I just wanted to bleat a little about the corruption over here as it really does get my goat. I try to be fair in all walks of my life and with all people I deal with. I just get so p***** off when I see the blatent corruption here and the general acceptance that "That's the way it is, so why try to change it."

Sorry - Will climb down off my soap-box now.
