SEX and TOURISM
 
International Conference, Geneva, June 2015

2. DESTINATIONS
 
Tourist visiting of red-light districts, from Patpong (Bangkok) (Manderson, 1992) to De Wallen (Amsterdam) includes prostitution but isn't limited to it. These quarters - as with certain gay quarters? - have become tourist attractions, visited by millions of tourists who don't resort to the offers of prostitutes. (Graburn, 1983). Among these, who exactly are the sex tourists? What are the practices of the visitors? Who visits these quarters and how? What is the victors' discourse about their practices? How are we to understand this tourist behavior? In what ways do [professional] tourism operators take charge of these visits? Are the red-light districts of Paris, Tokyo or Hamburg visited in the same way as seascapes [seasides] in developing countries?
 
The red-light districts are, furthermore, not the only tourism destinations marked by sexuality. Certain types of spaces (the beach, the island, the desert, the Tropics in general) and the trip itself may be eroticized. Certain destinations (Venice) are favored by romantic couples. Others (Polynesia) are favored for wedding [honeymoon] trips. What makes a site erotic? What tourist practices are tied to this eroticization? What cultural, economic, and political factors inform [or direct] the eroticization of these destinations? Are they the same for men and women, homosexuals and heterosexuals? What is the importance of this eroticization for the tourism industry? What is its role in their eroticization, whether through marketing or by the transformation of the places concerned into tourism sites?
 
3. PRACTICES
Line 279 ⟶ 297:
Some works insist on the manner in which they consider the sexuality of (potential) clients. But the sexuality of tourists is an issue in many tourism destinations, where local standards in this differ from those of the travelers.
 
How does is confrontation manifested from the point of view of the tourists as well as of the locals (Cohen, 1971, 1982 ; Ryanet Amber 2001)? Can the tourists be [themselves] sexual objects? Where and to what degree can tourists have what practices or assume what sexual identities? At what cost, with what precautions, and what effects? What are the effects of the sexual norms of the destination countries on the presence of tourists whose sexual identities are different from what is acceptable to the locals?
 
4. ACTORS, "INTERMEDIARIES," AND NETWORKS
Line 303 ⟶ 321:
Ethical positions are nonetheless different, even divergent, if not in conflict among different geographical and historical contexts. Their analysis forms a significant entry into the understanding of the relationships of domination (between persons, between social and cultural groups, between North and South, between colonizers and colonized) (Hall, 1992), of relationships between sexes, in the evolution of ethical and normative positions, and in questions of local and international government.

Line 356 ⟶ 376:
(1) Already established sex partners travel together and use a 'romantic' restaurant, or city (Paris), or beach, as an aphrodisiac, or just enjoy freedom of expression that is not possible when the kids are around, We are in the realm of a kind of sex tourism conditioned by normal overground imaginaries such as the long standing alignment of romanticism and orientalism. Question: How is this type of "sex tourism" different from and similar to the myriad other ways couples enhance everyday sex at home. (See Simoni, "Sex, love, and intimacy: emotions, economy and morality")
 
(2) Trips conceived for the primary purpose of 'hooking up' with other like-minded tourists—e.g., Spring Break, English young people at Gap year 'Raves,' in S.E. Asia, or Swetha's village in India. (See Simoni, "From touristic intimacies to marriage migration")
 
(3) Voyages of discovery across legal / moral gradients or shifts—i.e., curiosity driven travel from a place where certain specific sexual standards and practices are forbidden by law or custom to a place where they are permitted. Visits to "Red Light" districts by tourists who may not purchase sexual services. We could fit quite a lot of anthropological investigation into this type. (See Simoni, "Stereotypes of the sexual and erotic Other.")

Heidi Kaspar- I support all the former comments in broadening the conference's topic to the myriad forms and processes seduction takes and entails. Sex tourism still could be a topic as such for one session within the conf (or two or three - I have no idea how big this conf will be).
 
David Picard - the more interesting to me is clearly based on the debates by Bataille and Sontag, both suggesting wonderfully evocative methodological tools (automatic writing) and links between pysochanalysis and anthropology.
 
To link this to tourism, you may want to discuss the "model" of north-south divisions of roles and tasks an author like Michel Houellebecq provocatively suggests in his novel Platform is a good departure point. Also the recent work by scholars like Jennifer Cole (ex UCB) and Valerio Simoni on what happens when the holiday flirt becomes more permanent, i.e. when tourists engage in more solid relationships with their vacation flirt, regularly returning or taken them with them.
Line 602 ⟶ 622:
I would not try to wash it down too much, by calling the event "Sex Tourism", too placative in my view; keep it theoretically challenging!
 
Jennifer Cole authour of: Sex and Salvation: Imagining the Future in Madagascar (2013)
 
The person I immediately think of with respect to this issue is my student, George Meiu (meiu@uchicago.edu), who just graduated last year from anthropology and who is now at Concordia. He works in Samburu country in Kenya and has written quite a lot about white northern European women who travel there on sex tourism; I think he's teaching a ton but he's very good and in touch with this world and may know people. I also think of Denise Brennan who worked in the Dominican Republic and Marc Padilla, and Nadine Fernandez who was a year ahead of me at Berkeley and works in Cuba, but who is also likely to know people. You might also ask Christian Groes Green who is at Roskilde in Denmark (cgroes@ruc.dk) -we're working together on a volume on African migrants in Europe but he did a lot of work on Danes in Mozambique with local women, and he may know. I was also just reminded (related but tangential) of Hoellebecq's controversial novel Platform -- about sex tourism in Thailand - I haven't read it but will soon and it may have at least interesting representational food for thought.
 
Clothilde Sabre - tourism and eroticism are quite related and this topic is discussed in many ways, from many perspectives. Have you heard about the French writer Michel Houellebecq? He wrote a novel about sexual tourism in Thaïland (Plateforme), in which he borrowed some references from Rachid Amirou, I think it reflect a lot of representations that cross society about tourism.
A bientot j'espère,
His subsequent novel, Plateforme (2001), earned him a wider reputation. It is a romance told mostly in the first-person by a 40 year-old male arts administrator, with many sex scenes and an approving attitude towards prostitution and sex tourism. The novel's depiction of life and its explicit criticism of Islam , together with an interview its author gave to the magazine Lire, led to accusations against Houellebecq by several organisations, including France's Human Rights League, the Mecca-based World Islamic League and the mosques of Paris and Lyon. Charges were brought to trial, but a panel of three judges, delivering their verdict to a packed Paris courtroom, acquitted the author of having provoked 'racial' hatred, ascribing Houellebecq's opinions to the legitimate right of criticizing religions.
 
 
A recurrent theme in Houellebecq's novels is the intrusion of free-market economics into human relationships and sexuality. Whatever (Original title, Extension du domaine de la lutte, which literally translates as "extension of the domain of the struggle") alludes to economic competition extending into the search for relationships. As the book says, a free market has winners and losers, and the same applies to relationships in a society that does not enforce monogamy. Westerners of both sexes already seek exotic locations and climates by visiting developing countries in organized trips. In Platform, the logical conclusion is that they would respond positively to sex tourism organized and sold in a corporate and professional fashion.
 
Lina Tegtmeyer - panels of male/females and teenagers in tourism imagery - not sure if there should be regional/national/cultural divisions....a friend from Morocco talked about Ryan air adverstisement -set on a global scale, one image for all (that is cheaper for editorial and marketing design, clearly) - and she said that the meaning of naked shoulders in an Islamic nation are blasphemic. She talked to someone from Ryan air; they didn’t care/know how to respond.
That would be looking at the cultural meaning in the everyday culture of tourism imagery of "naked" or dressed bodies.
The other option I am thinking is to simply do a sort of account of how the male/female/trans/...body is staged in tourism imagery and focus on the mise-en-scene. ...possibly with the theoretical background of performance theory or film .... (> e.g. Laura Mulvey "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema").
That can go together with the re-presentation/staging of bodies and how they signify certain national identities and tourism landscapes (bikini chicks as visual signifier for fun at the beach - the virgin and the untouched landscape - the authentic tourist experience with the exoticized authentic local to serve the tourists needs -....).
also suggest a panel on ideas/imaginaries of eroticism and race, racism, colonial host-guest ideas in tourism then and now. (A person still around to invite here might be Paul Gilroy, not sure if that would smash the circle, but as you know, I am always tempted to bridge tourism studies with other disciplines...!).
In short: visual representations of bodies and masculinity/femininity as signifiers in context of tourism industry (post-Fordist service industry and image production) and tourism as cultural practice (image consumption/production)

Dear Dean and Nelson,
Line 661 ⟶ 675:
wish I had had it a few months ago while working on a "Gender and
Development" Handbook article on tourism. Of course, I would like to have
focus on service providers and researchers, as well as on tourists. Below
is a paragraph from my article that shows my not too developed thinking on
gender and sexualities continuum in tourism.
Take care, Peg

contractual to coercive in tourism markets. Scholars have used sexuality,
both literal and metaphorical, as a framework for articulating the
exploitative aspects of tourism. Early on, Graburn (1983) suggested that
the prototypical rich North– poor South tourism dynamic can be thought of
through the metaphor of the rich male purchasing or taking the services of

hierarchies, while documenting their existence and potential for
transformation. An increasingly nuanced literature on the subject, for
example Brennan’s (2004) study set in the Dominican Republic, suggests
that although the overall dynamic is exploitative, the women involved have
considerable agency and the men are not uniformly predatory on an

Neil Carr - : " having written and researched on a variety of issues related to sex (as broadly defined and therefore including eroticism) and tourism and leisure I'd certainly be happy to serve as a member of your scientific committee. I'd also be happy to suggest a topic: "love and romance in tourism"

Arthur Lizie - sustainable tourism and links between food/body and tourism.
Jared McCormick - demographics of men in Beirut as a regional hotspot for sex tourism and playground of the wealthily/wild.
I was thinking how to approach a panel and what might be useful is to synthesis and put in conversation a few "case studies" or comparisons that can inform one another. I feel like I keep seeing work that examines a "new" geographic area X, Y, or Z and hopes to unpack some of the tensions of Eroticism/Tourism but then stops there - as if the existence of "sex tourism," in and of itself, is interesting. What I'm getting at, is how we might build off of these and examine larger connections (of nationality / neoliberal policies / rights etc. etc).
Also a strength of Eroticism/Tourism is the uncertainty and vagueness of both terms - their tenuous and overlapping relationship to one another. Something that I keep trying to grapple with in my work are the relationships between tourists, diasporic movements, "migrations" and how they blur into one another.

Bestiality Tourism/Animal Sex Tourism, From: Joachim Williams. Joachim.willms@TOURISM-FUTURES
Bestiality Tourism/Animal Sex Tourism, From: Joachim Williams. Joachim.willms@TOURISM-FUTURES
This topic was somewhat in a discussion in Germany and the EU recently since the German government has published plans to change the laws regarding zoophilia (or bestiality) and/or sexual intercourse with animals. Both are lawful in Germany and many other European countries. There had been many rumors in Germany and other European countries about Animal Brothels and Animal Tourism with so called 'Zoos' as special-interest tourists. It is a very secret market .... but psychologist tell us that it is a market (esp. with destinations in the Netherlands, Spain, UK, Denmark and Eastern Europe). And ... we may regret these specific forms of tourism but if you follow the article regarding Zoophilia in wikipedia ... it is not at all astonishing that there is a tourism market for this. Tourist hotel staff will assure you about large numbers of so called K9 Lovers amongst ordinary (mainstream) tourists. Pet Sex Tourism is (a widely secret) part of the ordinary tourism markets.

“Sex: The Power of the Powerless? The Use of Sex as a Spousal Influence Strategy in Vacation Purchase Decisions”
 
 
 
DOI: 10.1080/10941665.2010.520946
Ya'arit Bokek-Cohena* & Sabina Lissitsab
Line 884 ⟶ 895:
This study is the first to test empirically the common notion regarding sexual manipulation as a spousal influence strategy during couples' vacation purchasing decisions. The study examined whether the use of sex as a spousal influence strategy is more prevalent among individuals who have less marital power than their spouses. Marital power is treated as two-dimensional: the first dimension is objective and composed of actual economic resources; the second is subjective and composed of feelings. A sample of 192 married or cohabiting men evaluated their own and their partner's use of sex as a means of exerting influence during a vacation decision process. Female subjects with low levels of subjective marital power and male subjects with low levels of objective marital power used sex as a spousal influence strategy at a higher frequency. The study found that during a vacation decision process, the use of sex as a spousal influence strategy is impacted by the marital power balance between the spouses. Second, economic power is not the dominant factor that affects the use of this influence strategy; rather, it is interpersonal power that is influential. The findings imply that sex may be used as a power strategy by the powerless.
