Don't we get one of these stories every winter in a Canadian newspaper?

I haven't figured out if they are warning people or advertising for ummmm skankies? Is the word sankies been registered so they came up with a new version? :laugh:

skankie = sex-only tourism?

sankie = heartbreak, financial ruin tourism?

This author makes it sound like the "western" (???) women (guess that excludes Canada & US as we are from the north LOL) come here only for sex and then leave. She also quotes:

but a burgeoning trend which continues to wreak havoc on a Caribbean culture and a family culture already in crisis. "

as if the poor "skankies" are being taken advantage of and we should feel sorry for them!

She couldn't even get the name of the country right - Dominican not Dominican Republic (for those who that upsets greatly LOL);)

When did the dress codes change - never once in any disco, bar etc. did I ever see the men going around without shirts on!!!

Then she states that these guys are "known as beach boys" - guess that gets the animation staff off the hook ;)

Maybe this author should have stayed away from this situation

through the rum and the pounding music

and got the story right before writing it!!

What a worthless article!

I agree Marlie, the article makes it seems that "skankies" are prostitutes, and not what they really are, ..........wait maybe a skankie is different than a sankie?;)

That's a helluva boost to the Dominican's(jajaja) economy. Just think if that was factored in to the Gross National Product!

As I said yesterday-- those sankies--SKankies are doing their part to build up the pride of all the Dominican's :(

Anything for a story eh? I'm still laughing at this part

"Last year in her paper Female Sex Tourism: A Contradiction in Terms?, S anchez Taylor argued when Western women use their economic power to get what they want from poor local men who need their money, it's exploitation, plain and simple."

:laugh:

Poor sankies are being exploited :surprised :classic:

I think I will write to her and let her know what they are really called and who is exploiting whom
