World Sex Travel Guide: The Adventurous Mans Guide to Sex Tourism by someone pseudonymously calling himself “Naes Draw.” Because I’m not a raving idiot, I’m guessing it’s a shitty anagram of the author-rapist’s name (can you figure it out in less than 10 seconds?)
Anyway, because I am given to pedantry, I must note that there should be an apostrophe in that title, before giving you the description:
Travel as a sex tourist to 13 exotic yet very inexpensive countries to meet the most incredible women. This guide – updated monthly – covers Thailand, the Philippines, Bali and Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Aruba, Cuba, Curacao, Saint Martin, and the Dominican Republic.
Learn where to meet the hottest women and how inexpensive it is to live out your sexual fantasies. The guide also covers travel information on visas, taxis, exchange rates and hotels. It teaches you what to pay and how to stay safe. Saves you time, money and trouble.
FOR ONLY $9.99, YOU TOO CAN RAPE TWO-THIRDS-WORLD WOMEN WITH IMPUNITY!!! UPDATED MONTHLY!
I don’t know what the fuck Amazon is doing selling this shit, and to the credit of other people who have stumbled upon this digital rape manual, the comments are uniformly horrified and offended. Small comforts.
BUT: According to Amazon’s own stats, this e-book is the 13th most-popular travel book about Bali. For the fucking fuck of fuck, people. I don’t even know what to say.
AND: The crap frosting on this shit-cake comes in the “Customers Who Bought this Book Also Bought…” category. Along with Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island and something called Bangkok Sporting Club? The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.
Dork: out. *drops the mic, leaves the stage*
I…I just..I really don’t know what to say here. There are no words to truly and eloquently express my disgust.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?!?!
That comes close.
Stuff like that always makes me so sick to my stomach. I just feel so bad for those poor women (probably mostly underage) and I wish there was some way to go after these men. But there’s not…
Take comfort in the knowledge that their Evil Ex-Wives Are Going After Their Wallets and Preventing Them From Seeing Their Kids!1!!!
Why do men get such a raw deal in divorce proceedings? /sarcasm
I can’t imagine there is actually a bottom to those depths of the woman-hating, especially when it comes to woman-hating for a profit.
They have to take their righteous frustration out on the bodies of unwilling foreign women who “appreciate” fine American men, bluebears.
:tear:
Hey, Sean Ward! You’re an unimaginative dick.
Unbelievable.
At least those three people who wrote reviews weren’t buyers, but people who share the opinion that this is disgusting and should be illegal.
Eeva, you figured out the identity behind his terribly difficult code name! You get 1000 genius points!
@sarahmc: its just because american women are so bossy! and emasculating!!
I’m pretty amazing, considering that was almost as difficult as some of the puzzles in The Da Vinci Code.
I’m willing to bet this guide is full of euphemisms for “underage”.
I refuse to believe that this exists–surely, this is just the book version of Daniel Cleaver’s “Smooth Guide” (from the very lame Bridget Jones sequel), right? Right? A publisher really didn’t PAY for some douchebag to write this?
I feel like going all Veronica Mars and hunting down this Sean Ward guy for a serious ass-kicking.
When we came back from Argentina a few years ago, we stood in the longest line ever at customs. There was douchewad behind us telling another guy how he went down to Brazil and took pictures of women in bikinis and how hot they were and how many of them he fucked. I’m sure it was for some soft-core porn site. I really wanted to vomit and cry at the same time. My husband shot him some dirty glances and he quieted down, but we could still hear him show the other guy the pics on his laptop, I’m sure to the horror of the old couple behind him. I bet his name was Sean Ward.
The one-star reviews are comforting, but the responses to these reviews are not so much:
“it’s a book man. no Big deal. Get real!!!”
@Khrushchev: WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE FEMINIST?!?!?!?!
@Krushchev: man, I’d love to look but I’m at work. AWKWARD….
In the laugh-vs.-cry dichotomy, I had to laugh simply because of the Bible thing.
If there were a hell, they’d be going to it in a hand basket.
@SoaLG: I mean, yay rights and everything, but why can’t we just have our sex tourism fun?
bonus for Bali: no extradition agreement with Indonesia!
You guys, gosh, can’t guys have a little PIV fun without y’all getting up in arms?
I’d also just like to take this occasion to say that if I could marry PhDork I would. Dude or no Dude.
Pilgrim, maybe we can, and then you can stay in NY forever! Sen. Chuck Schumer has been making noise abut legalizing gay marriage in NY! Fake-gay harpy wedding: ahoy!
Took a class on this in college and had to look at some of the websites. Really horrifying stuff.
A few years back while doing volunteer work in the Philippines, I met some of these women who wanted to get out of it. Some had children from it. So sad.
@bluebears: THIS. WIN.
I live near Puerto Vallarta, and I can tell you it gets far worse than exploitation of young women. Rumor has it around here that wealthy child sex fetishists have their pick of children of the impoverished who sell their offspring for sex to the highest bidder.
This makes me sad. My college ex-boyfriend’s brother did a sex tour in Asia a few years ago, and when he told me my only response was what the fuck is wrong with him? I’d like to give some American men the benefit of the doubt (the ones who have heard of it but don’t do it) and say that maybe they don’t UNDERSTAND what it really means. But the guys who want to do it, who pursue it, who fly to other countries to have sex with underage girls who live in terrible conditions and who have no choice – I feel like that is the true embodiment of evil.
