被禁止的性行为与性暴力

卖淫: 男性卖淫: 异性卖淫

临时情人

一些美国女人、欧洲女人，逐渐还有日本女人，她们为会见临时情人（short-term lover）涉越重洋去国外休假，并且作为这样的年轻男人，他们的身体吸引力是重要的因素。这种所谓的女性性旅游的首选目的地是南欧、非洲和加勒比海，但是，其它一些有许多失业或半失业男性的地区也正成为受欢迎的性旅游的目的地。

这种女人常常独自旅行，并且在旅游目的地的当地酒店的雇员、侍者、酒吧侍者、园丁、出租车司机、导游、救生员、海滩服务员、旅游纪念品销售员等人员中间寻觅异国情调的“休假男友（vacation boyfriend）”，并且一旦寻觅成功，就会邀请他出席宴会，给他购买衣服、礼物或者径直就支付现金。不过，一些国家的男子并不会有什么补偿的指望。对于他们来说，只要证实了自己的阳刚之气和性能力就足矣。

有迹象显示，这样的男子罕有因这样的组合而感到受到剥削或受到人格贬损的。甚至当他们接受礼物和金钱的时候，都不会感到自己像妓男的。的确，他们可能被朋友嫉妒并由此而声名大噪。简而言之，这种“性交易”形式呈现出一种特殊的景象，不能够就简单地与其它的卖淫方式相比较。但是，由于在发展中国家、尤其在加勒比海和非洲的男性中的HIV/AIDS的高感染率，整个的这种性旅游情景正在逐渐消退下来。

女性性旅游目的地
从数个欧洲国家、北美、澳大利亚和日本(全部用黄色显示)的女人会在远隔重洋的地区、尤其在发展中国家(红色显示地区)寻觅临时情人。这种旅游的首选目的地是南欧、非洲和加勒比海，不过，近年来印度尼西亚、泰国和斐济，以及某些拉丁美洲国家也已经成为受欢迎的地区。但是，应该提醒大家注意的是，男性性旅游则更为广泛。的确，相比较而言，女性性旅游是微不足道的。

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.
