Cougars in Kenya; who’d have thought

From time to time you come across some news which would be just hilarious, if it weren’t so ridiculous.
According to this Reuters report in the Washington Post, a lot of older ladies, to be politically correct, are travelling to Kenya, which is a country “just full of big young boys who like us older girls” according to two ladies who travelled there. Read the full report here.
I guess “raping Africa” just took on a very different and literal meaning now. Ridiculous!

I’ve been a sex worker off-and-on for a number of years and have strong feelings about these kinds of power imbalances. Westerners frolicking overseas with poor people on their vacation is especially disturbing. While it occasionally makes a human interest story when white women go to South America or Africa to enjoy the local gigolos, it really is much more common among men (Rush Limbaugh in the Dominican Republic, anyone?). I guess that’s why it doesn’t make the news. But do a search on blogs and you’ll find guys out their bragging about their libertine adventures in Third World paradise. There are women in these countries selling days of their lives to these sexpat bloggers for little more than food money and don’t have the means to keep blogs and write books. Their johns are doing it for them, telling the world how much fun they’re having.
