I was reading an article for another class titled" Dollars Are a Girl’s Best Friend? Female Tourists’
Sexual Behaviour in the Caribbean" by Jacqueline Sánchez Taylor. In the article, Taylor talks about "female sex tourism" that is often called "romance tourism." I found it very interesting that when men engage in paying for sex, it is seen as buying a prostitute or "sex tourism", while women who do the same thing engage in "romance tourism," thus implying that women must have some sort of feelings towards the men they sleep with. Women are once again seen as engaging in romantic and emotional behavior while men are allowed the "privilege" of having sex for sex's sake.
