Recently I learned that
prostitution is legal on the Dutch Caribbean Island, St. Maarten. The little
Caribbean jewel was caught up in a salacious scandal involving accusations that
the Minister of Justice was running a brothel. It is no surprise that the
oldest profession has created a tourism industry that brings some well needed
cash flow to some smaller economic nations. The question is, at what price?
I have mixed feelings
about the institution of selling sex. Julia Robert's Pretty Woman character is
not the norm. I do feel that it is a consenting adult's prerogative to
sell his or her ass for some cash; but the reality of prostitution is the
brutal exploitation of young men, women and children by depraved pimps.
Sex trafficking is a vicious system that rivals only the Middle Passage.
Like any other despicable act, you will always find those who are willing
to go above and beyond to support it.
We are in a world where
people are going to continue to travel to fuck. Here are some more
tropical locations where some people are not just snorkeling or sipping rum
punch on the beach.
Dutch Antilles. Throughout most of the Caribbean the
oldest profession is illegal but not on Dutch islands. The islands of the Dutch
Antilles consist of six islands: St. Maarten, Saba, Sint
Eustatius, Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao. The two largest brothels in the
Dutch speaking Caribbean are located in St. Maarten and Curacao. Bonaire
is also home to legal whorehouses as well. Here predominately light skinned women
from the Dominican Republic and Colombia are issued prostitution visas to work
the sex industry. The Dutch regulate prostitution and the sex workers are
required to register and must submit to weekly STD check-ups. These
regulations are not enforced at the unlawful establishments where the New Age
slave masters traffic in sex workers.
Hotel Del Ray. The Del Ray is located in downtown San
Jose, Costa Rica and is a well-known hub for sex tourism. The
prostitutes can be found working the hotel from day to night. As I
mentioned in Holiday Sex Part I, prostitution is legal in Costa Rica. At
Hotel Del Ray the working women are required to have a medical ID to enter the
premises.
Jamaica. Prostitution and weed are not legal in
Jamaica. Despite that ganja is available for tourist as well as the ability to
pay to screw. Women, particularly of European descent, drive the demand
for female sex tourism in the land of reggae. Milk bottle is the slang
term used for the Caucasian women that make that journey to Jamaica to rent a beach boy.
Black American women with money to spend are also indulging in sex tourism. Stella is not the only one who Got Her Groove Back.
