Sex tourism - it's not just about victimizing women and children anymore. Now we have to worry about the dolphins.
As I am about to embark on my own brief getaway, I've been considering the range of vacations that people take to escape the humdrum of daily life and to take time to relax and enjoy themselves.
Some folks like sightseeing. For me, spending a week running in the heat from one crowded tourist destination to another, reading brochures, wrestling with maps and riding on trolley tours sounds like the pits. But if that's your game, more power to you.
Some folks like cruises. All-inclusive packages mean you can eat until you barf. Drink until you barf. And spend a week on a boat, playing shuffleboard, dancing and barfing. Good times.
Some folks like camping or backpacking. I sleep in my own filthy stink at home and hate climbing the three flights of stairs to my office.
Some folks like beach vacations. Hot, sweaty, gritty. That's right up my alley.
And then there are some folks who prefer a relaxing vacation traveling to a foreign country where they can see the sights, kick up their heels and pay a seventeen-year-old native islander to be their boyfriend for the week.
As summer approaches, there are more and more news articles raising awareness about the topic, highlighting the shameful exploitation of economically vulnerable, underage women and men and calling for public outrage.
And believe me, I am outraged. But one sex tourism advertisement caught my eye in particular.
It's called the Tantric Waves Dolphin Retreat. And yes, it is what you're thinking. It's a four day, three night trip to Mozambique, during which you will stay in a tented camp and enjoy oceanic sexual energy massage, sexual meditation, tantra, learning about the art of sensuality and being sexually serviced by a dolphin.
And it's only $585 per person!
I'll let you make up your mind for yourself. But if you're into it and decide to go, let me know and maybe we can share a tent.
