Some single men who travel to the Phil's and SEA are plain and simple travellers or adventurers, scuba divers, mountaineers, trekkers who like to see a different side of the world, if they happen to meet an Asian girl on their travels and form a relationship does that make them a sex tourist.
I agree with this and no it doesn't. I recognise that this group does exist.
but to suggest that sex tourism is confined to only a few areas of the country like Angeles or Subic is well wide of the mark.
Cebu is crawling with them, and I'm not just talking about the habitues of the bars on Mango. Even the smaller cities like Cagayan de Oro have their share. The kind of slobs who sit around drinking themselves into a blob all day while there's a pool of mostly bored out of their minds professional foreigner-shagging girls, some of whom some of them may have married, in attendance.
then there's the online daters, or 'marriage tourists', come to the Philippines to meet women. That's why they've come. Any other reason they've come is purely ancillary. This makes them primarily sex tourists. The Philippines, unlike families with children, who are conspicuous by their almost total absence, is full of them.
you might think, oh they dated only one, or only a few women, and then ended up marrying one. That's not a sex tourist.
but where do you draw the line? One? Five? Twenty? Fifty? A hundred?
