  • child Sex Tourism prevalence of and risk factors for its use in a german community sample
    BMC Public Health, 2017
    Co-Authors: Thula Koops, Daniel Turner, Janina Neutze, Peer Briken
    Abstract:

    To investigate the prevalence of child Sex Tourism (CST) in a large German community sample, and to compare those who made use of CST with other child Sexual abusers regarding established characteristics and risk factors for child Sexual abuse. Adult German men were recruited through a German market research panel and questioned by means of an anonymous online survey. Group assignment was accomplished based on information on previous Sexual contacts with children and previous use of CST. Characteristics and risk factors were compared between the groups using t- and Chi-square tests. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed to predict CST. Data collection was conducted in 2013, data analysis in January 2015. Out of 8718 men, 36 (0.4%) reported CST use. The CST group differed from the nonCST group (n = 96; 1.1%) with regard to pedophilic Sexual and antisocial behaviors as well as own experiences of Sexual abuse. Social difficulties, pedophilic Sexual interests, and hyperSexuality were not distinct features in the CST group. Own experiences of Sexual abuse, child prostitution use, and previous conviction for a violent offense predicted CST in a logistic regression model. This study is a first step to gain insight into the prevalence and characteristics of men using CST. Findings could help to augment prevention strategies against commercial forms of Sexual abuse in developed as well as in developing countries by fostering the knowledge about the characteristics of perpetrators.

  • Sex Tourism among chinese men who have Sex with men a cross sectional observational study
    BMC Public Health, 2018
    Co-Authors: Jessica Mao, Weiming Tang, Chuncheng Liu, Ngai Sze Wong, Songyuan Tang, Chongyi Wei, Joseph D Tucker
    Abstract:

    Sex Tourism among men who have Sex with men (MSM) may exacerbate transmission of HIV and other Sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Sex Tourism is defined as purchasing Sex with gifts or money outside of one’s hometown. Our objective was to characterize the frequency, socio-demographic characteristics, and Sexual risk behaviors among Chinese MSM Sex tourists. An online, cross-sectional survey for high-risk MSM throughout China was conducted in November 2015 covering sociodemographic characteristics, Sexual risk behaviors, and Sex Tourism. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to identify correlates of Sex Tourism. The mean MSM HIV prevalence of Sex Tourism journey origins and destinations were compared. Of 1189 MSM who completed the survey, 62 (5%) men identified as Sex tourists; among these Sex tourists, twenty (32%) traveled primarily to purchase Sex and the remainder purchased Sex while traveling for another purpose. There was minimal socio-demographic and behavioral difference between the two groups. In multivariable analyses, adjusting for age and income, Sex Tourism was correlated with high-risk Sexual behaviors, higher income (aOR 4.44, 95%CI 1.77–11.18) and living with HIV (aOR 2.79, 95%CI 1.03–7.55). Sex Tourism was more often from locations with lower to higher MSM HIV prevalence (mean = 4.47, SD = 2.01 versus mean = 6.86, SD = 5.24). MSM Sex tourists were more likely to have risky Sexual behaviors and travel to locations with a higher HIV prevalence. MSM Sex tourists may be part of core groups that are disproportionately responsible for MSM HIV transmission. Enhanced surveillance and interventions tailored to MSM Sex tourists should be considered.

  • Sex Tourism among chinese men who have Sex with men a cross sectional observational study

    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Sex Tourism among men who have Sex with men (MSM) provides a risk for spread of HIV and other Sexually transmitted infections. Sex Tourism is defined as travelling outside of one's home town and purchasing Sex with gifts or money. Our objective was to characterise the frequency, sociodemographic characteristics, and Sexual risk behaviours among Chinese MSM Sex tourists. Methods We undertook an online, cross-sectional survey of high-risk MSM throughout China in November, 2015. Men were invited to participate by clicking through banner adverts on social network sites. Eligible men were at least 16 years of age, had ever had anal Sex with a man, and had had Sex without use of a condom in the past 3 months. Questions covered sociodemographic characteristics and Sexual risk behaviours. Univariate and multivariable logistic regressions were done to identify correlates of Sex Tourism. We also compared the mean MSM HIV prevalence in each Sex tourist's origin and destination locations. Ethics approval was obtained from the ethics review boards of the Guangdong Provincial Center for Skin Diseases and STI control, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and the University of California at San Francisco. Findings Among 1610 eligible men, 1189 (74%) completed the survey and 62 (5%) were identified as Sex tourists. 20 (32%) of these men travelled primarily to purchase Sex and the remainder purchased Sex while travelling for another purpose. We noted little difference in sociodemographics and Sexual risk behaviours between the two groups. 45 (73%) of Sex tourists used a mobile app or website to find Sex partners. In multivariable analyses, adjusting for age and income, Sex Tourism was correlated with high-risk Sexual behaviours (adjusted odds ratio 1·83, 95% CI 1·06–3·17), higher income (4·44, 1·77–11·18), and living with HIV (2·79, 1·03–7·55). Sex Tourism was more often from a location with a lower MSM HIV prevalence (mean prevalence 4·47, SD 2·01) to a location with a higher MSM HIV prevalence (6·86, 5·24; p Interpretation MSM Sex tourists were more likely to have risky Sexual behaviours and travel from locations with low to high HIV prevalence rather than high to low HIV prevalence. MSM Sex tourists might be part of core groups that disproportionately contribute to MSM HIV transmission. Enhanced surveillance and interventions tailored to MSM Sex tourists should be considered.

  • Sex sun soccer stakeholder opinions on the Sex industry in cape town in anticipation of the 2010 fifa soccer world cup
    Urban Forum, 2009
    Co-Authors: Ruth Bird, Ronnie Donaldson
    Abstract:

    Sex workers, Sex Tourism, and their management during the 2010 FIFA Soccer World Cup is a controversial topic under much discussion in the media and there is a need for an academic debate on the issue. How city managers, Tourism marketing organizations, the general public, and law enforcers will manage and deal with such an influx poses numerous practical and moral dilemmas, especially in the face of the growing Tourism industry. In the paper, the opinions of various role-players in the Tourism sector on the planning and management of Sex work space in the City of Cape Town are investigated. Key aspects debated are decriminalization/legalization, prospects for a healthy city, spatial planning for Sex spaces, and policing them.
