Sex on Sunday: Saving sex tourists

Evangelicals offer redemption at Cambodia’s girlie bars, by Andrew Burmon at Global Post

“Jesus’ biggest beef was with religious people,” said John Yoder, a volunteer with the MST Project, which stands for Men and the Sex Trade. “He never minded people who’d made mistakes.” According to Yoder, the MST Project presents Western men looking for company at hostess bars with the opportunity to avoid falling into the cliched role of aging lecher or sex tourist. The MST Project was founded several years ago in Bangkok, where a group of preachers took to the city’s red-light districts in the hopes of educating male tourists about the dangers faced by working women, and perhaps winning a few converts on the side.
