Sex Tourism and Male Prostitution: European Women

Travel to Africa In Search Of Young African Men For Sex

Reuters has a very interesting article that caught my attention today about a new trend in the sex tourism industry. The piece is about old rich European women most likely from the United Kingdom traveling to Africa in search of pretty young black men for sex. Notice the double standards in the mainstream media in relation to sex tourism. Sex tourism is not just “specific” to just “one gender” yet the Occidental media has always framed this as a male only domain. We all have watched the documentaries about European or North American men traveling to Asia, Africa, or South America in search of young women for sex. Female sex tourism has gone on for decades yet now the mainstream media is finally focusing on the other side of sex tourism from the rich western woman’s perspective. The rich Occidental women have egos as well they want to feel attractive and sexy. The European women feel compelled to travel to Africa in search of young black men because the power dynamics are in their favour.
