"But it's certainly something we frown upon."-Reuters
Jeez, what the heck ever happened to going on a good old fashioned safari? There are so many elements of this scenario (AIDS, exploitation...) that fill me with what Reuter's calls a "vague unease," and please don't accuse me of being a crappy feminist for frowning upon the practice. Yes, women should feel free and comfortable to exercise their sexuality, but I don't support men who go off on so-called sex safaris either, and to be completely honest, I'm not too wild about old men robbing the cradle. (Maybe that means I don't love cougars? I'll have to think about that some more.) Then again, it's slightly different for women: After all, your average lady can't physically dominate or cause bodily harm to a male. Still, in the situation where poverty is a major factor, it's her financial prowess that puts her in the position of power. Maybe they should just open up one of those Hedonism vacation packages to elders. That might even out the playing fields.
What do you think? Is sex tourism between consensual adults okay?
