Over the years Dan has spent time talking to many western sex tourists, many of whom β he says β seem to share a hauntingly universal story of broken relationships and regrets. Do you think they might be a good root? Working girls at Nana Plaza, Bangkok.
As I listen to Dan recount story after story, I wonder how a man so moved by justice can bear to speak to the men who purchase girls and women for sex. After all, many of the girls he has seen rescued were once raped and paid for by western sex tourists, men who Dan says excuse their behaviour by claiming that they are helping the women.
Would you see that as me helping her? Recognising that each of these men are fighting their own battles does not mean that Dan condones their behaviour, but rather, he understands that sex tourists need help to overcome their addictions β which in some cases, are killing them.
