Case Study 5 Vanna is a 20-year-old Khmer male. When he was 18, Vanna was approached by a French man on the street, who bought him food and clothing. This man was a long-term resident in Cambodia and could speak fluent Khmer. Vanna has continued to work as a prostitute since then, and states that all of his clients look for boys along the streets and use money to attract them.
A Chinese mama-san interviewed for this research stated that demand differs between client nationalities. She stated that Chinese men prefer Cambodian or Vietnamese girls due to their cheaper price, whilst Cambodian, Malaysian, Singaporean and Taiwanese clients prefer Chinese girls for their lighter skin. Westerners prefer girls who speak a little English. Case Study 6 Camh is from Vietnam and is 18 years old. When she was 11, her mother sold her to a brothel in Svay Pak for $1000 to pay off gambling debts. The brothel owner would not sell Camh’s virginity until she was 14, but she was available for oral sex with clients, for which she received $30-40. These men never used condoms. When she turned 14, the brothel owner sold her virginity to an Australian man, who was also her first client for oral sex when she was 11. He used to take her for walks, out to eat and sometimes back to sleep at his hotel. He watched pornographic videos with Camh and gave her alcohol. After her virginity was sold, Camh’s mother came from Vietnam to take the money. Camh is still working as a prostitute in Phnom Penh.
