Comments on: Is This Personal Ad Prostitute-y, Or Is It Me? https://www.escapeartistes.com/2012/07/04/personal-ads-prostitute-y/ Postcards from the Edge Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:30:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Theodora https://www.escapeartistes.com/2012/07/04/personal-ads-prostitute-y/#comment-17112 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:30:21 +0000 http://travelswithanineyearold.com/?p=8284#comment-17112 In reply to Tracy.

I can see the Darwinian notes in several of these, now that you mention it, Tracy… I don’t think I’d like an evolutionary biologist’s perspective on any part of my life….

I’ve never quite looked at them the same again!

I’ve been to Lamu and Tiwi Beach, but not Diani Beach, which I imagine is worse: the beach boys were more after getting Z to buy overpriced donkey rides (he was 5 at the time), than getting me into bed. The Gambia, I think, is the sex tourism capital of Africa, at least for Europeans, particularly Brits, though when I visited I was too young to be within playing age (still at uni).

I think a certain type of man doesn’t necessarily care about the looks. It’s the youth and the body that he’s buying. Ick.

Yes! It was just so straightforward… Very, very British.

Dear boy, you would have barely been a foetus when I saw that personal ad.

I found that interesting/annoying because it was the only place I’ve ever been where it was blatantly in the reverse of the usual- male prostitutes trying to find a “girlfriend.”

I confess like in Thailand half the time I was repressing the urge to say “dude, he/she isn’t even that pretty!” I mean call me weird but if I was paying for sex I’d at LEAST get someone good-looking for it. 😉
