What is a sex tourist?

[Marsilius]

Teens who go go Ibiza or any other such Mediterranean hotspot just for endless (hetero)sexual encounters are not labeled "sex tourists" even though that is the prime object of their trip. Olders guys who go to Thailand are.

The possible factors causing the second category to be condemned are: (1) absolute age of the tourist ["any older person wanting sex is a bad thing"], (2) the age differential ["any intergenerational relationships are bad"], (3) the element of payment that's usually involved ["any paying for sex is bad"].

And I suspect that there's a fourth factor too - envy on the part of many people who don't have the ability/opportunity/gumption/balls to do such a thing, while others of us do have and are going away and having a good time.

Marsilius, I think you omitted one other factor of envy - their inability to get it up

Marsilius, that is a brilliant reply.

My own objection is that many blindly accept words, phrases and acronyms invented by repressive and neurotic "professionals" such as NGOs, psychotherapists and others in order to create work and generate money for their own interests. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is only one of these great works of fiction. Remember that until very recently, "homosexuality" was defined as a "disease" in this latter work.

What you have identified in your post is a perfect example of how this scam works and which has been fobbed off on an unsuspecting and complacent audience. That it is given credibility even on a forum such as this is almost beyond belief. Of course, I am sure there are those here who also believe in "sex addiction", another piece of abject fiction.

We should stop using a fake vocabulary which has been invented to describe non existent actions, events and situations.

I suppose I consider myself a sex tourist. Like a447, I've done the main touristy things, so if it weren't for the easily available boys, I wouldn't be visiting Thailand.

Me too, I mostly travel to Thailand because I love the place, the people, food etc but I also enjoy the sex that is on offer.

Im a sex tourist and proud of it on this forum but I will not tell the wife.

Good post Marsilius. I hear from my friends at home comments such as, "I never pay for sex"; "get someone your own age"; "if I were your age maybe I would pay for sex"; "if I went to Thailand I would never go for sex" and on and on. These guys are 52 to 62 yo and never get any sex even between themselves. Yes, and for sure, envy, as a447stated.

I think the "Hernia" thread is more interesting than this one. :8(
