….for Khun it was not only pleasuring my girlfriend but also about prestige, to have sex with a “weak westeners” white guys girl, to humiliate the “rich tourist” in front of his girl, and to live on our holiday budget…. in our situation clearly the white western couple was on the hook and “the victim”,….but Claudia enjoyed sex with him anyway…a 19 year old thai guy, who suddendly turned out to be extremely dominating and controlling, once he suffocated my weak resistance

aha, the backfiring of romance and love as a gambit. once in dominicana when a guy similarly propositioned me and i said no, he came right back with ‘you dyke-bitch’. so much for sales techniques.

“But please note that the boys interviewed here find pleasuring tourists a lot easier and more fun than other jobs.”

Spoken like a true pimp!

Great article as always Laura. Love the line ‘no professional identity need attach to ambiguous relationships’.

I once had a guy on a beach in Venezuela solicit me on the basis that he sold romance not sex. Paulo, who seemed asleep on a nearby deck chair said from under his hat “you just lost a customer my friend’

My German girlfriend had paid sex with a thai guy during our holidays in Bangkok. For me, as a white male, it was a very humiliating experience to have to share my girlfriend with a young asian,…but I finally accepted her holiday lover, who basically targeted our holiday budget, had good fun and sex with Claudia. If you are interested in this subject, you may google “my girlfriend had paid sex with a thai boy”

It is not just the money but the unequal ‘power relations’ said to be involved. Race, class, opportunity. As you see at the end of the Swiss documentary, the Swedish woman sees herself as doing the same as men, achieving gender equality. But those who hate all tourists’ having sex with poorer people is exploitation, and orientalism.

Is it the case that those who would condemn those female sex tourists do so only because money (or some similar compensation) is involved? If the very same female tourists went to the very same places and managed to get the very same beach boys in bed without any monetary involvement, direct or indirect (no payments, no dinners, no gifts, nothing) — if they managed to win the boy’s interest simply because they, the female tourists, are also attractive — then there would be no objection to what is going on? (I wonder if, in this case, said female tourists wouldn’t be praised for their non-conformist stance on sex, not unlike SlutWalks and similar movements who want to praise female sexual agency.)
