Here are some young fellows who are earning their trinkets:
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.
"It's not evil," said Jake Grieves-Cook, chairman of the Kenya Tourist Board, when asked about the practice of older rich women traveling for sex with young Kenyan men.
"But it's certainly something we frown upon."
The young men aren't paid cash, but instead things like nice clothes and fine meals. So I guess these women are a sort of peregrinating sugar mama. Equality at last. What a relief we've finally broken the old goat ceiling.

Someone is going to get AIDS, and they'll deserve it.
Having sex with a man from the continent of Africa is the last thing a woman should do.
There ain't a rubber thick enough.....
Heh. You know, even Leona Hemsley, rich as Croesus that she was, didn't get this kind of deal. As worldly and savvy as she was, she still got romanced by gays, fell for their smooth talk, gave them big bucks, then got confronted by advisers with the truth that she was being played.
What these ladies in Africa are doing was previously only the territory of corrupt empresses. That AIDS deal is a bit of a bother though.
I've seen some of these women in Haines City...I swear.
