Grandmas Take Sexy Holidays in Kenya

Where: Kenya

A word of warning: don't think about a middle-aged or elderly woman you know while you read this story. It'll put you off your lunch.

A bunch of middle-aged women have started a dubious new trend in Africa travel: Ladies in their 50s and 60s are heading to Kenya for a holiday and picking up handsome men in their 20s to have a good time in exchange for expensive gifts.

Locals don't like it, and try to discourage it--for example, if a woman wants to change her hotel room from a single to a double, some places will say no--but they estimate that as many as one in five single women visiting from richer countries are there for sex. In exchange they buy their companions new clothes, expensive sunglasses and a few nights in a hotel. This is sex tourism as we've never imagined it before--and it's disgusting.

Older women are hot

I don't know where to start. Anyone who thinks that the sexuality of women in their 50s and 60s is repulsive is either 23 and arrogant or woefully inexperienced. The idea that all women of middle age are "grandmas" is laughable. As older people know, women (and many men) just get hotter and more experimental as the years go by.

Sex tourism and prostitution across race/class/cultural lines is problemmatic in all cases, but the vast majority of it is perpetrated by men.

I just found jaunted - and it is jaundiced.

Seriously?

We don't have any problem with women who embrace their sexuality. But you've said it yourself: sex tourism is problematic in all cases. I don't think there's an age limit on agreeing with that.
