Jamaica is a carnal kind of country, and while there's no
sex tourism industry as such, monetary-based holiday
liaisons are a well-established convention.
Middle-aged women strolling hand in hand with handsome young
studs has become so normal that pejorative epithets - "
Rent-a-dread " or " Restitute " - for the young
men who make a career out of these cynical liaisons have
entered the lexicon.
Negril is a centre for this kind of trade-off, and many
women regularly return specifically to partake of an
injection of "Jamaican steel". As a result, single women are
almost unanimously assumed to be out for one thing only -
prepare yourself for a barrage of propositions.

Male tourists are less involved in the holiday romance
scenario, but female prostitutes are common and men
should expect to be frequently propositioned. If you do
choose to indulge, make sure that you practice safer sex;
one in five prostitutes are HIV-positive, and STDs -
including syphilis - are rife. |
