Nicholas Kristof, writing about human sex trafficking and slavery in the brothels of Cambodia:
"One of the Mama-sans there offered that while she didn’t have a young virgin girl in stock, she could get me one.
Virgin sales are the profit center for many brothels in Asia (partly because they stitch girls up and resell them as virgins several times over), and thus these sales are their economic vulnerability as well.
If we want to undermine sex trafficking, the best way is to pressure governments like Cambodia’s to organize sting operations and arrest both buyers and sellers of virgin girls."
Lost in the billions of ridiculous column lines on Natalie Dylan, this very real tragedy is being covered by the amazing Kristof in an excellent series of columns in the New York Times. Who are these sick fucks who get off on this kind of abuse?

The virgin prostitutes you don't hear about on Howard Stern

What Kristof doesn't consider is that journalists and anti-trafficking agencies that walk into brothels that "don't have virgins in stock" might actually be fuelling the demand for the very girls they aim to save.
The incidence of child trafficking in Cambodia has hugely decreased int eh past 5 years, and higher penalties have led to much less trafficking- but offering poor people huge amounts of money for virgins, much higher than locals would be able to afford, probably leads them to weigh up the risks with the benefits and go out and get some poor kid to sell.
