The purpose of this study was
to conduct a systematic content analysis of sex tour websites to understand how
sex tours are marketed to potential clients.
A total of 380 web pages from 21
sex tour websites were reviewed. The sex tour websites sought to promote
privacy and hassle-free travel with a local 'escort' and the opportunity for
'hooks-ups' with no strings attached. Three themes emerged around the
description of sex workers:
- enjoyment and complete acceptance,
- a 'total girlfriend experience' and
- exoticisation of the 'Third World' woman.
It is of
importance for researchers, social workers and others engaging with sex workers
and sexscapes to recognise the power of language, cultural myths and framings
and their ability to generate real-world social and health implications.
