SEARCHING FOR THE BIG BAMBOO

OVER THE MONTHS I've written several blogs for MSA and in each case they were about some facet of SEX. I suppose this is expected since MSA is a group of authors who mostly write erotica and erotic romance. In other words. . .they write about SEX.

I'm in a rut. I think about sex to much. Whenever a scenario flashes in my mind for a new story I immediately put a sexual spin on it. So I have decided to make a concerted effort to write about things other than SEX. Therefore I've written this blog on vacations, which by the way has given me an idea for a new story. I think I'll call it Separate Vacations.

SEARCHING FOR THE BIG BAMBOO

On the sea they’re euphemistically called intimate or clothing optional cruises and one even boldly named theirs, Swinger’s Cruise. On land they’re called, adult or erotic resorts. A few are for swingers but most of the organized adult resorts cater to men.

A small few cater to homosexuals, both male and female. One claims to be available for bi-sexuals obviously a play for those seeking a threesome. As much as they deny they are bordellos , what else would you call a place where depending on what package you buy, you are assigned one or more lady escorts, at least one of which is an all nighter. Some refer to this as the girlfriend experience. I call it a sex club. A getaway for wealthy hedonists.

Hey whatever turns them on. It’s a free world, though one his to wonder if the lady escorts ply their trade of their own free will.

So where are these places? All over. Just to give you an idea, I found advertisements from the Caribbean to Thailand, from Amsterdam to Rio de Janeiro–even Las Vegas. But I think we’ve all known that sex junkets and sex resorts for men were available for a long time. But what about women?

Well as you might expect, women, except lesbians, are once more discriminated against. It seems or at least I found no organized sex resorts where a woman can pay $1200 a night and be pampered by some well built well hung slab of meat to take care of their needs.

So women are left out?

Not necessarily. Woman who like to play are termed sexual tourists and they are pretty much on their own. Sources indicate that about 600,000 women come to the countries of the Caribbean Basin many in search of men’s attention and love. And some of the swarthy men from these countries count on women tourists, looking for the ‘Big Bamboo’ for at least a part of their income. In Jamaica, these women are termed, almost surely in fun, as ‘milk bottles’ who must be immediately filled up.

In Barbados, female sex tourists are said to be having “the Canadian secretary syndrome.” These third world gigolos prowl the airports, hotel lobbies, pools and beaches in hunting for ‘longtails’ and the going rate of $30 per hour or $150 a night for their canny services is reasonable.

The following was in an article.

“Several years ago, two female sociologists from the USA questioned 240 women spending their vacations in Negril and at two similar resorts in the Dominican Republic. They found out that about one third of them had sexual contacts with local young men during their vacations. At that, sixty percent of them agreed that probably the young men made love to them just to get money. All the respondents said they did not pay for the sexual services that men provided during their vacations at resorts. But many of the women explained that they paid money for sex as they treated it as economic aid to the resort staff or even the local economy.

Some of the questioned women said they had started sex tourism by chance but loved to enjoy it regularly. Others say they love sex tourism not merely because of sex but rather because of the care and attention that local men give them. These women are even ready to pay for this type of temporary love.”

As a side note I should mention that not all the men are in it for money. A Swedish woman observed that a few swarthy foreigners were in a continuing education class she was taking. Upon closer examination, these men, all good looking and reasonable smart were brought to Sweden by their new fiancés, whom they met in their home country while their fiancée was on vacation.

So ladies, what do you think? If you were single and lonely, is this something you would entertain?
