Female sex tourism? WTF?!

[Winston]

I don't get this.

Why would American women need to go abroad to get laid? What kind of women are these? If they aren't hot or decent looking, how are they landing foreign men? Some wikipedia entries are questionable.

These reasons it describes are broad and don't make much sense.

Reasons

Female sex tourism's first and second waves coincided not only with feminism but with Victorian era man shortages that began in England and later occurred in continental Europe and the United States.

Social reasons for women seeking promiscuous and no-strings-attached sex abroad include the dating war, as typified by extreme competition between the sexes in schools, the workplace, while dating, in marriages, and even in contentious divorces. The dating war appears especially to drive sex tourism by Australian and Japanese women, and to a lesser extent, German and Scandinavian female tourists.

The changing theme of pop culture in the wake of the feminist heyday in America and elsewhere cannot be ignored. From the 1970s onward, the emergence of stronger, independent character roles for women in film, music and television doubtlessly influenced the expectations of ordinary women viewers everywhere in the western world.

The men may do it for the money, or for the sex, or for other unresearched reasons. Women usually give clothes, meals, cash and gifts to their male prostitutes. In some destinations, there are "going rates" for male companionship, ranging from $50 to $200. In other destinations, especially in Southern Europe, Turkey, and the French Caribbean, men do not expect to be compensated.

Doesn't matter if they aren't hot or decent looking. I think a lot of these women are probably middle age (30s to 50s) with faded good looks, divorced, and without much chance for quality men in America who would want them. So they head overseas to get it on with some dark-skinned stud who frankly don't have very high standards of attractiveness in American women, especially if she's white. Bottom line is they're getting PAID by these hags, so looks don't matter so much.

I was once told a few years ago that Ibiza was a place where guys could go to get picked up. Something about it being an old relaxation for male Olympic athletes in the off-season and aristocratic type women who wanted to have a good time away from their limp-dicked old husbands. Naturally I can't vouch for how true that is today, if it ever really was.

When I was in Germany, this German bitch I was dating said her mother and father went on vacation to Kenya earlier that year, and that some young Kenyan guy offered himself to her mother. So I figure it is pretty common that the old, fat northern EU women go to Africa or Jamaica to get laid by young studs.

African "Studs" , Jamaicans with Dreadlocks & Indonesian "Beach Boys" are among the favorite destinations for women who like geeting laid and experiencing their sexual fantasies withOUT any "baggage" or publicity.
