"Female sex tourism is travel by women, partially or fully for the purpose of having sex. The practice differs from male sex tourism in that women do not typically use the structures of the sex industry (e.g. strip clubs, sex shows and organised tours) to meet foreign partners.
The phenomenon has been explored by French Novelist Michel Houellebecq in his novel Platform and in the non-fiction book Romance on the Road. These works support the idea that sex tourism by both men and women reflects serious problems in the tourists' home countries, including a "dating war", or profound disharmony between the sexes.

The men may do it for the money, or for other unresearched reasons. Women usually give clothes, meals, cash, sex, 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."

Random book reviews:




•"This book isn't for everyone; some of the moralists may be put off by the startling and raw sexuality, but I think that the book is raising some serious questions about the way the West views sex, and also the way that sexuality has become a marketable, economic commodity. Bangkok 8 also raised these issues, but I think Platform does this much more successfully, because it goes further and postulates on a future where both women and men have given up on looking for romance and are so busy with their professional lives that they will increasingly seek to pay for sex in third world counties.Houllebecq proposes a grim bleak future as people from the moneyed; hard working, market driven and capitalist West will be unable to relate to one another sexually or in any other way, and will increasingly turn to populations from countries like Thailand in the search for physical and emotional intimacy. Sex is a product that can be exchanged for a price, and devoid of morality, it inevitably becomes just like other Western products."



•"Single men will especially enjoy the take on the state of modern relationships between men and women here in the Western world. Through this, the author makes a strong case for Western men to see the value of Asian women as sex and long-term partners. It's been a long time since I've read a current novel that packed this much punch!"


•"If you don't mind tons of sex then there is a lot worth reading here. If you are fed up with the way our society treats sex and relationships then this book is for you."


•"It is clear at this point that that author has carved out a niche for himself that has been wildly successful in Europe. He remains still unknown and unappreciated in the United States. This may be due to the misanthropy and celebration of hedonism that he seeks to provoke with, a combination that sits poorly with Puritanical America. Regardless, his ideas are profound and deal with the soulless harried spiritually-shrivelled lives that Westerners live."




•"Yes, It's all about sex....And that's what makes it so great! Western culture has so comoditized and fetishized sex that the intimacy of the act has all but bled out (brilliantly illustrated in the novel's one S&M scene). It's become much more common in both Europe and America to warp sexuality into absurd little kinks when not talking it to death in toxicly boring academese then to just embrace the simple joy of rutting. Michel and Valerie do and yet they're the twisted ones?

In this, Houellebecq sees a similarity to Islamic fundamentalism -- a shared, life-denying philosophy. The Western version has all the repression and bitterness but cloaks it in secularism and supposed liberation. You could write a whole book on Houellebecq's skepticism of the sexual revolution... "
