    Re: Controversial...yes?

    one party was using their vast economic differences to make the much younger, disadvantaged woman do what they wanted.

    This too is as old as time. Cultural differences alter the way it is practiced, but how much difference is there really? There are no shortage of older men "dating" much, much younger women in the US. It's just that a few more steps are taken here to give the practice a cloak of respectability. But isn't the game really pretty much the same wherever you go?

    Jon C.,

    Since you quote my post, please note this quote also taken from my post:

    I was very deliberate in NOT mentioning any nationality for the 20 year old female in this passage, I view the "sugardaddy's" with their "sugarbaby's" the same way - I felt the same when I lived in US....

    But the point of the original article is that "romance tourist" women are often unaware that they are simply "sex tourists" by another name...

    And unfortunately MissBlue, many women are still unaware which is why Lisa wanted to try and help them become aware by posting the article.

    When one party is in full control of the relationship - is it actually consentual, or for the disadvantaged is it simply a means of getting by?
    i don't think one party is in full control of ANY relationship - lol - so the consentual part in the "romance tourism" is sex for money - that's the CONTRACT- so to speak -

    though the approach appears to be different for men and women - male sex tourist - pay 'em and keep moving - female sex tourist - thinks it love before she finds out it's money (and isn't even about the sex for him)

    hmmm -- maybe men are better negotiators - because i haven't heard many stories of men virtually losing everything because of their "holiday romance" lol

    some of the women i know went from riches to rags ----- oh and then you don't have any money -- NEXT!

    Seveen,

    I have seen it happen both ways, men get caught up in their "knight in shining armor" fantasy relationship. But I can tell you that the guys who have fallen hook, line and sinker for their "island girl" and then get burned dont ever announce it publicly. They blame themselves then are too embarrassed and ashamed to admit it happened to them.

    now that sounds like the unwritten story . . .

    When we were there in June, it was actually more prevelant with the beach boy's and the older women. A couple of older women (older than I am anyway) arrived at our hotel a few days after we got there, and they were looking for beach boys to hook up with. They knew exactly what they were going for and that it would cost them. I don't think they were more than 24 hours before they had their companions..but thats what they were there for I guess..

    Sometimes it's better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission.

    This was the second time I saw this article when Bnewb posted it. My first thought was "daily mail"... Rubbish. I really had not realized it was so prevalent. I live in an insulated world I think...
