Regards the “when men do it it’s gross but when women do it’s girl power double standards blah blah blah” … o can see this to a degree however if we ever get to a post when men and boys are coerced and/or forced into the sex industry to be sold and often raped/abused as a result of this I think that argument will have more legs.

Men who buy into any part of the sex trade are actively contributing to the widespread attack on women and girls and it’s in no way comparable

There are plenty of young boys forced into the sex industry 😕.

Of course they do😁I would be embarrassed to fall for their claptrap. You are a shag with money, nowt else.

British women can have the boyfriend experience in the UK. No need to travel. It's unfortunate but whilst humans demand sexual pleasure there will always be a supply. Paid or unpaid.

Desperation and they want a souvenir to bring home that won't affect baggage allowance?

What kind of souvenir, Chlamydia?

They absolutely are attracted to me actually. In my experience the men I meet on holiday find blonde western women incredibly alluring, in the same way that western women find black men incredibly sexually attractive. I don't know why that is, I never ask them. But its just their preference and it works for me because the Turkish men I meet on holiday are absolutely gorgeous. You'd never see a man like that back home.

I beg to differ, just about every town in the UK has a grotty Turkish barbers or 5 😂

And areas of Jamaica

I went to Jamaica once and someone asked me if I was going for sex, I was so confused! I was going for the sun, sea and cocktails!

This has been going on for years I reckon, we used to go as a family 20 years who and there was lots of women with Turkish boyfriends out there

Happyholidays78 · 15/10/2026 13:40

This has been going on for decades, I've seen it in Turkey, Tunisia, Egypt, The Gambia & Dominican Republic way back in the 90's. I was a young girl then & was taken aback by the amount of single older ladies hooking up with men in their 20's, from my perspective it looked like a reciprocal arrangement but there were definitely a few 'we're in love & going to get married types'.

It's also the case in some of these cultures that the standard of morality around women from the culture, and expectatations not to have premarital sex, creates a situation in which having sex with Western women looks like a tempting deal on more than one front. It's not always about money, sometimes it is, but it's also filling a gap in premarital sex for those who are likely to end up in more conventional marriages with expectations around purity for women in that culture. You see this even in the UK, beliefs about the easy availability of Western, usually white, girls and women, who are not in any way considered good enough for marriage or even a transparent relationship.

Agree. The Turkish men used to say English girls were easy.

You may (probably not) want to do some research into exactly who is trafficked in the sex trade, Given your view here you may be surprised to find that its not always girls.

We just have a poor choice of men back home, so when we got to places like Turkey we are like kids in a candy store! 😍 Nothing to do with being 'easy' or not.

floralchoices · 15/10/2026 14:15

Because women in their sixties still want sex but are seen as undesirable in general. I can see why they do it tbh.

@DebbieSavage isn't a genuine poster.

Similar thing with men in Asian countries such as Thailand, The Phillipines etc - old men and young women. Many for sex and others get married and often bring the wives back.

Either way they look odd when it's a partner in 20's and a partner in 60's - grim, desperate and weird looking, buying a partner and everyone knows it. People say if they are both happy, but are they really, if money wasn't an issue, would they really pick that 'partner'.

tanoshi · 15/10/2026 14:46

So the demographic is men and women aged 40 - 70 that are sex tourists.

@FlatWhiteExtraHotfair point although I’d guess the end user of that poor boy is possibly a man. And certainly any violence experienced will likely be from a man

Again fair point and thanks. I’d still maintain the end user is likely to be male and certainly any violence along the way fished out by males in most cases

A friend had an Egyptian ‘boyfriend’- with a wife- wanting her to visit regularly and suggesting they get a local ‘marriage blessing’ so they could associate freely in public. I was very concerned for her. She finally wised up and stopped communicating with him. I don’t remember the ins and outs, but I’d say he was exploiting her rather than the other way around. She was hoping for love and relationship. He was quite pushy.

Sounds like the many tales in TAB magazine - in those cases it’s certainly not the women doing the exploiting.

I see this as being very different to the men going to Thailand.

Notgonnalieaboutthis · 15/10/2026 18:01

I’ve heard Turkish men are very well endowed. Just sayin .

This doesn't just happen in Turkey. Gambia is notorious for it too.

Turned my stomach when I was there, a granny with a man young enough to be her grandson being introduced to her dc and gdc. Obviously only in in for the money but she couldn't stop groping him.
