Post subject:  Published accounts of world sex trade from mongerers POV?
There are, of course, a slew of published books/articles out there based on the 'exploitation of women in the world sex trade' theme, but I'm wondering, does anyone know of anything out there that looks at all of this from the mongerer's point-of-view? Any particularly recommended reading?

Thanks,
GR

Haven't read this, but it looks like it could be interesting:

The Hedonist: World Sex Guide - Single Male Erotic Vacations in Rio, Costa Rica, Thailand, Carribean and much more

http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0975264001/105-9896624-3494002?SubscriptionId=0RAFPGWETQZXMXGFNN02

Looks like more of a guidebook than an analysis of sex tourism from the male point of view.

Dallas Morning News is running a series of articles on a young girl from Mexico who was transported from Mexico to US and sexually abused by several men along the way.

Sex Lies and Bar Girls is one I have seen mentioned on Southeast Asia Travel but the pitfalls and challenges for a monger are about the same in Latin America. Not sure on a source but was availble at Margarita Station when I was in AC recently.rbc100

GR,

Interesting thought…and not a bad idea for a book. I’m sure that it would draw fire from many different groups, but at the same time would open up a few eyes of some high maintenance/low performance gringas. Oprah would have a field day with a book like this… :shock: :lol:

The SF Chronicle did a similar four part story in October to the one that Hankkh mentions in the Dallas Morning News. The SF story is about a Korean girl who ran up $40,000 in credit card bills and answered an ad for work in the US, and was then moved into the west coast Asian sex trade.

The Blog on the article shows some of the varied public opinion on what was IMHO an over done bleeding heart story…but it is good reading. I hope some of you take the time to read it and post a few opinions.

Oprah has mentioned american men going to foregn(sp) countries to have with sex with local women on her show. I would hate for her to mention the websites. Certainly we are politicallly incorrect in her eyes

Thanks for the link Mendo - I did peruse through some of it, but you're right - the usual 'overdone bleeding heart' story and viewpoint.

What I would actually like to see is something not as facile sounding as "The Hedonist", but something that tells a bit more of someone's personal experience mongering in an absorbing, engaging way. Something like Jazz Musician's ongoing posts in his "Research" thread actually. You listening, Jazz???

Why is it the print and TV media in the USA never mention anything about female sex-tourists! I read in the Singapore Times last year that female sex-tourism is the fastest growing trend in the travel industry! Of course its allways been there, but in the past it was kind of hidden. But now these women are way out there in the open! Go to the Carib. and watch them chase those guys! Go to Kuta Bch, Bali ,and you will not believe your eyes!! Incredable Swedish babes and even more sexy Jap girls fighting over hidious looking drug addicted gigilows! The majority of the young backpacker type tourist girls going to Thailand and Cambodia are going with the local guys! On the beaches of Goa India there is NO sex for tourist men, but many male prostitutes for the 100s of female and gay male sex-tourists! Back some years ago, before the current political problems, Nepal was a HUGE female destination! Not much action for us guys, but plenty of young men to service those female sex-tourists! And then of course there is Cancun! The ultimate sex destination for women! What is surprising to me is that most of the women going to these places, and paying for sex, are actually very good looking, and a lot of them are 18-25yrs old! It just dont seem natural! But to each his own!! later

Yeap, even in CR - I was amazed to see wholesome looking Gringas hanging out with grungy looking rasta types in Puerto Viejo on the Carribean side one time I was out there. Probably the same gringas who would be aghast at seeing mongers in the company of 20-year-old chicas in the News Cafe...

I know a Korean girl that works at a local MP. She was born here in the states, has a degree and chose the MPs because of the great money. Oprah wouldnt report this side of the story.

The problem is that those women are hooking up with 18-25 years old back home who don't know how to satisfy a woman. I see it with the young ones I work with, they're more interested in video games! :twisted:

Post subject:  "The Search for the Perfect Whore" by Raymond Arch
I just purchased an e-book, The Search for the Perfect Whore, by Raymond Archer. It's a novel about a guy who spent 25 years mongering on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic (Puerto Plata, Sosua, etc.). I'll post a brief review when I finish reading it.

GR,

Wanderlust: Writers on Travel and Sex by Daniel O'Connor seems like it may be closer to the thoughtful account that you're looking for.



Quote:
There may never have been a time when men (and women) have not traveled for sex. The intrepid pedestrian Thomas Coryat, whose Crudities of 1611 was the first real travel guide, already notes that the allurements of the Venetian prostitutes have drawn trade from all of Christendom. For all epochs for which we have records it can be demonstrated that sex has been not merely supererogatory to travel but often its real impetus. And much of this sex has been bought and paid for. Until recently most expressions of this experience have been taboo. But in the last century, as the technological and economic power of the west, especially, enables more of its citizens to indulge in travel and the fantasies that impel them, a literature of sexual travel has emerged. Wanderlust is a voyeuristic collection by celebrants (and detractors) of the fugitive ecstasies, humiliations, and consequences of paying for sex far from home. Men and women, gay and straight, buyer and seller, amoral and conscience-stricken—all contribute a perspective on what can now be acknowledged a commonplace, though emotionally fraught and morally ambiguous, experience of the traveler. Included are selections from Stendahl, Timothy Mo, Nelson Algren, Alma Guillermoprieto, William T. Vollman, Marilyn Jaye-Lewis, Michel Houellebecq, Terry Southern, Christopher Isherwood, Joe Orton, Jonathan Ames, Rachel DeWoskin, and many others.
