WASHINGTON DC —

[Editor’s note: A new book from a US professor looks at the world of “professional girlfriends,” Cambodian women who have gift-based relationships with foreign men.

The first "gift" is always a smartphone, tablet or laptop, so he can talk her into getting naked on cam and some sexchat. If you see a "good" but poor Cambodian girl with an expensive phone, chances are she got it from a foreign man in some such relationship as Hoefinger describes.

Is Cambodia really much different to any other poor country that it warrants a book on it? After all, farm girls all over the LDC's are at it. Seems like she is using Cambodia's reputation as a means to sell her book.
