I came across an interesting article yesterday: Older white women join Kenya’s sex tourists.

Upon reading the title, I wondered, am I mistaken? Should it read the other way around? So rich women apparently come to Kenya to pay for sex with attractive young Kenyan men. I have heard of sex tourism, and have seen older men walking arm in arm with various much younger women throughout various locales in Thailand, however I have never heard of the reverse phenomenon occurring.

In reading further, especially in light of World AIDS day, I was disturbed to discover that some of the women choose not to use condoms when engaging in transactional sex as they deem them too “businesslike” and an interruption to carrying out exotic fantasies. However, on a positive note, some hotel managers have begun to monitor the situation and discourage such negative tourism.
