Short-term Lovers

被禁止的性行為與性暴力

臨時情人

一些美國女人、歐洲女人,逐漸還有日本女人,她們為會見臨時情人(short-term lover)涉越重洋去國外休假,並且作為這樣的年輕男人,他們的身體吸引力是重要的因素。這種所謂的女性性旅遊的首選目的地是南歐、非洲和加勒比海,但是,其它一些有許多失業或半失業男性的地區也正成為受歡迎的性旅遊的目的地。

這種女人常常獨自旅行,並且在旅遊目的地的當地酒店的雇員、侍者、酒吧侍者、園丁、計程車司機、導遊、救生員、海灘服務員、旅遊紀念品銷售員等人員中間尋覓異國情調的休假男友(vacation boyfriend,並且一旦尋覓成功,就會邀請他出席宴會,給他購買衣服、禮物或者徑直就支付現金。不過,一些國家的男子並不會有什麼補償的指望。對於他們來說,只要證實了自己的陽剛之氣和性能力就足矣。

有跡象顯示,這樣的男子罕有因這樣的組合而感到受到剝削或受到人格貶損的。甚至當他們接受禮物和金錢的時候,都不會感到自己像妓男的。的確,他們可能被朋友嫉妒並由此而聲名大噪。簡而言之,這種性交易形式呈現出一種特殊的景象,不能夠就簡單地與其它的賣淫方式相比較。但是,由於在發展中國家、尤其在加勒比海和非洲的男性中的HIV/AIDS的高感染率,整個的這種性旅遊情景正在逐漸消退下來。

女性性旅遊目的地

從數個歐洲國家、北美、澳大利亞和日本(全部用黃色顯示)的女人會在遠隔重洋的地區、尤其在發展中國家(紅色顯示地區)尋覓臨時情人。這種旅遊的首選目的地是南歐、非洲和加勒比海,不過,近年來印尼、泰國和斐濟,以及一些拉丁美洲國家也已經成為受歡迎的地區。但是,應該提醒大家注意的是,男性性旅遊則更為廣泛。的確,相比較而言,女性性旅遊是微不足道的。

Destinations for female sex tourism
Women from several European countries, North America, Australia, and Japan (all colored yellow) look for short-term lovers in distant regions, especially in developing countries (red). Preferred destinations are Southern Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, but recently Indonesia, Thailand and Fiji as well as some Latin American countries have also become popular. However, it should be remembered that male sex tourism is much more extensive. Indeed, in comparison, female sex tourism is insignificant.

Short-term Lovers

Some American, European and, increasingly, Japanese women take their vacations in distant countries for the purpose of meeting a short-term lover, and for such a young man, his physical attributes are important. The preferred destinations of this so-called female sex tourism are Southern Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean, but some other regions with many unemployed or underemployed males are also becoming popular.
The women often travel alone and look for their exotic “vacation boyfriends” among the local hotel employees, waiters, bar keepers, gardeners, cab drivers, tour guides, life guards, beach attendants, souvenir sellers, etc. and, once they have found one, they reward him with dinner invitations, clothes, gifts, or plain cash. Some men in some countries, however, do not expect any compensation. For them, it is enough to have proved their masculinity and sexual prowess.
This is an indication that
the males rarely feel exploited or degraded by such an arrangement. Even when they accept gifts or money, they do not feel like prostitutes. Indeed, they may be envied by their their friends and gain in prestige. In short, this form of “sex trade” presents a special case and cannot simply be compared to the other forms of prostitution. However, the whole picture is increasingly being overshadowed by the high HIV/AIDS infection rate among males in the developing countries, especially in the Caribbean and Africa.
