Legal Sex Tourism....

[ChristopherMaxwell]

....thoughts on story ideas about this....not the underage rubbish.

How about a bloke who goes to Eastern Europe to find sexy dames for a shag? Maybe he likes the idea of Greek or Czech women? Goes there and shags them, but then....

Option 1: Falls in love with them.
Option 2: Knocks them up.
Option 3: Gets drunk and wakes up married to them.
Option 4: Rescues them from a white slavery ring, not all that different from the Birthday Girl theme, but nicer.
Option 5: Actually fucks his sister, aunt, or cousin, but doesn't realise it until later, since he is drunk. She is aware, however, and loves the idea. She wants to have his child.

Option 6: wakes up in a bathtub full of ice, minus one kidney.

Wait, I thought that was just an urban legend!

I think that we shall leave that one out, if you don't mind.....but a vampire thing might be nice...

When I saw the title of your posting I was expecting a horse of quite a different colour.

Since prostitution is effectively illegal in the UK, and brothels are a strict no-no, I was thinking along the lines of someone spending a weekend visiting the Reeperbahn in Hamburg, Rue Aerschot in Brussels, or the "windows" in Amsterdam and the complications would then be somewhat similar to your options 1, 3 or 4.

Option 2 is a non-starter for three reasons, A) professionals protect themselves, B) how would he know he was the father, and C) timescales; who can take several months long tourist trips?

Option 5 seems to imply that one of his close relatives is a prostitute in a foreign country.

You could go with a repressed individual who develops something of an obsession with a particular girl after a visit. Keeps coming back until he is missing too much work and moves closer to her. Maybe a jealousy twist where he can't take the fact that she is a prostitute and other men pay for her.

Well, I didn't necessarily mean that she was a prostitute, only that such is a possible angle. The point is that he is seeking women. Perhaps they are hookers, perhaps not.

The last option works best if he is Jewish, since he is more likely to have female relations in Eastern Europe that way. Just one angle. Plus, Jewish dames are often sexy.

Orrrr..... since I'm feeling silly.

A number of people have floated the idea of creating artificial nations in international waters. Sealand is an example of an existing project even though it only exists because it doesn't make itself overly offensive to the UK. A cruise ship operating in international waters might claim independent nation status and offer all sorts of divertments illegal elsewhere.

Alternatively, you might simply have a ship that is registered somewhere that prostitution is legal. Nevada tickles my funny bone, but the Netherlands, Mexico, Japan or some other nation would serve just as well. Hanging around off the coast of a nation like England or the US it would probably be a good money-maker.

If you go with the idea that such an endeavor would almost certainly involve organized crime then you can introduce elements like debt bondage.

Those are all devices to justify the story setting. The real story would be what happens there. Falling in love appeals to me as a story option. How does the hero 'rescue' his damsel? Nice, straightforward adventure there.

Good one.

Damon Runyon and the world's largest floating crap game comes to mind.

I've always thought that the "Kingdom of Sealand" would be a great story.

FYI, Sealand is an outdated military platform that is owned and ruled by a family- it is an officially recognized nation and has its own Constitution and Royal family (although it does not have a population other than the royalty).

It has been engaged actively in one armed conflict between a group of European business men who wanted to seize it in the early eighties and use it for illicit activities. It is currently up for sale for around 1 billion dollars.

That could be a good twist to this story. Someone buys it and sets it up as a floating Amsterdam, but with fewer restrictions.

Oh, if I but had the quid.....
