Older white women join Kenya's sex tourists

Bethan, 56, lives in southern England on the same street as best friend Allie, 64.

They are on their first holiday to Kenya, a country they say is "just full of big young boys who like us older girls."

Hard figures are difficult to come by, but local people on the coast estimate that as many as one in five single women visiting from rich countries are in search of sex.

Allie and Bethan -- who both declined to give their full names -- said they planned to spend a whole month touring Kenya's palm-fringed beaches. They would do well to avoid the country's tourism officials.

Translation of that, please?

Cheers!

In better times, we'd have Tin Pan Alley songs about cougars, but now... An example of a Broadway hit that never was:

I gotta find me a cougar
My pistol brand is Luger 
Shoots straight, it gets hot
Right into cougar's

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING!

NO more calls, please.

We have a winner!

Some STDs aren’t limited to sexual transmission.

Why do men think women are not financially independent these days?

Experience! Being financially independent begs the question of how they became..."independent."

I believe my question was fair. If the answer is "zero," it's zero. If not, I have a revealing question.

Three letters ladies, HIV.

“Experience! Being financially independent begs the question of how they became...”independent.”

HA! Got me! I guess, because I am, and my daughters are, I’m assuming every woman is...

You win!

Duh...Golden surferboys in Hawaii have been making a fine living off these horny old crones for generations!

Ummmmmmm, I’m 54 and divorced. Where were you meeting these gals????

Karaoke bars and Yahoo Personals.

[hinckley buzzard]

it is more than morally reprehensible what may be taking place here. How about the reality that such women will be carriers of disease back to the home nation.

LOL! How about the reality that they are not likely to spread it to anyone once they get home?

And you decided to settle down? Let me guess, your first situation was an anomoly? Yeah right...

But, hey, sounds like you had a blast, good for you.

No anomoly, but lots of needy, grasping women, many with substance issues (mostly alcohol)

Through it all I was still lonely. I took a break for a few months, got pickier, took my time and met a lovely woman, a widow with lots of love to give.

I luv my dear old cougar
it's better than being FUBAR
I don't bet with my bookie, 
I do play with her

Every time I go to a bar, I get hit on by women who are in their 50s because I look like I am in my early thirties. When I tell them I am in my early forties, they are no longer interested.

Well, I guess this is the opposite of American men seeking younger, amazingly attractive, educated and FEMININE wives overseas. The old, fat, short-haired, washed up white women go overseas and hook up with dirt poor African tribesmen in an AIDS infested part of the world.

Not even close to a fair trade, but that's the breaks, ladies!

I give...

“Some STDs aren’t limited to sexual transmission.”

Please explain...

On the other hand, there are some younger chicks who are interested in older men. Trouble is they’re not as easy to come by as cougars are for young guys. And, needless to say, they can afford to be picky, and as often as not, they’re mostly interested in your wallet.

Why doesn’t this impress most of us?

I don't know if it impresses anybody, but it's certainly a minor trend.
