Guess they like dark meat.

Meh. Icky as I may find it (go away, mental pictures!), this is far less morally objectionable than middle-aged white men traveling to Kenya to have sex with little girls.

@2 - but is it less morally objectionable than the middle-aged white men who travel to Third World nations to have sex with adult women?

Yikes. That's all I can say about that.

@3 - yes, because men's sexual intentions are always more morally objectionable than women's :P

@2 and 3 I didn't know that the 'icky' scale changed levels for this stuff. Sex tourism sits at it's own bad level. Just like one case of rape can't be called worse than another case of rape.
Sex tourism is wrong. period. It doesn't matter who is doing it to who.

This reminds me of a movie I just watched on the Sundance channel called Heading South, but those women would travel to Haiti for their flings.

personally, i always thought that dorothy was more hot to trot than rose-even though rose was cast as the sexy one.

@3: They are the same.

@6: There is a world of difference between traveling to another country to pay for sex with an adult, who presumably is able to make decisions for himself or herself, and traveling to another country to pay for sex with a child. You need to understand this fundamental difference.

@9 I guess I forgot that all sex workers decide for themselves to do what they do.

whoops, I meant all adult sex workers decide for themselves...

So, now women are acting like entitled, exploitave, perverted assholes... just like men have for centuries. Yay for, um, progress. Or something.

@11: When you find out who is coercing the poor, poor Kenyan men from the article into having sex with older women for money, let me know.

@8 Blache was the sexy one. Rose was the simple one. And Dorothy was the tall one with the deep voice.

@ 8: Yes. I know it is wrong, and I hope I feel differently when I'm old and grey, but the though of banging an old bag is nauseating.

And by Blache I of course mean Blanche!

@13: The 50% unemployment rate might be doing some coercion.

Sex tourism, regardless if it's men or women traveling to have sex, is exploitation. It's people from a wealthy nation traveling to poor nations to use their wealth to get sex.

#7--You're right, it was a movie. It makes me think someone at ABC News was watching the Sundance Channel this weekend, too.

@17: So the entire Western world is comprised of sexual exploiters, then? Because they're the ones keeping Africa down.

Anyone else notice in the photo caption where it says "Hard figures are difficult to come by...?"

@20: You're worried that it's your granny paying to get slammed by some big, black Kenyan cock, aren'tcha?

Am I the only one who finds this well .... kind of funny? There is a double standard here ... I'm not convinced it will ever be the same? and further evidence that men and women are just never going to be ... the same at somethings.

@24

What civilized folk don't realize that ... libido is a funny thing. Some people have it worse than others. Men have it more when they are younger women have it worse when they are older ... and they never see it coming. Whoever designed humans has one sick sense of humor. With time, every one of who is damaged from it learns to separate love and sex.
