Paragraph
Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism 2013, para. 27
- Paragraph text
- Over the years, classifications of different profiles have been made to facilitate the development of appropriate interventions. A distinction was therefore made between "situational" and "preferential" child sex tourists. The situational sex tourist was described as not travelling with the intention of being a sex tourist, who is tempted by an opportunity to have sex with children in a country, not usually having a preference for children, abusing children who are pre-pubescent or not, driven by the search for new experiences and justifying their acts on the basis of cultural or economic grounds. The preferential sex tourist travels specifically with the aim of abusing children, can experience sexual attraction for adults, but tends to search for pubescent or adolescent children. In addition, the paedophile, usually considered as someone suffering from a clinical disorder, with an exclusive inclination for pre-pubescent children, who may not show any preference for the gender of the child and may not view sexual contact with children as harmful. In contrast to the situational offender, they are notorious reoffenders, seeking out vulnerable children.

Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 29
- Paragraph text
- The majority of offenders do not automatically have a sexual preference for children and have been classified as situational offenders. Individual offenders often resort to prostitution involving children simply because it is available; they do not take the child's age into account. Since those offenders are not considered to be driven by a sexual attraction to children, their motives can be attributed to several cultural, social and economic factors linked to the other two levels of demand.

- The immediate level of demand for the sexual exploitation of children covers those who directly exploit children, such as purchasers of commercial sexual acts with children or of child sexual abuse material. They are normally individual offenders whose objective is to satisfy personal sexually abusive drives, desires and fantasies. Their reward is direct sexual gratification with the child and the sexual services of various types that they seek to obtain from their victim. They generate demand.
