I'm just curious about the response here to this film about female sex tourism since the reverse is a very resounding NO! And, it is not like the recent spate of teacher-high school student criminal cases since obviously those kids are underaged and vulnerable and entrusted to the supervision of a local/state education institution.
Paradise Love is about an older women hooking up with Kenyan beach boys - or in other words, sex tourism.

Graphic film about European women sex tourists and their encounters with Kenyan beachboys goes down a storm in Cannes
By JILL REILLY
A graphic film featuring a middle-aged woman traveling to Africa for sex with male gigolos has been praised at Cannes Film Festival. In Paradise: Love, the first part of a trilogy, director Ulrich Seidl explores the subject of sex tourism among rich, European white women. The film had its gala premiere yesterday where it is one of 22 films competing for the Palme d'Or.
PARADISE: LOVE PLOT
Margarethe Tiesel plays divorcee Teresa, who packs her teen daughter off to weight-loss camp and heads to Kenya where a friend has assured her that sex is plentiful. Soon she meets Munga (Peter Kazungu) and as their relationship develops Teresa believes he doesn't want money. But soon he starts asking for funds, claiming he needs cash for his sister’s baby, his father’s medical bills or his cousin’s school, but never for himself.
Yeah, I have to snicker at that description of this film. I've supported medical treatments of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews and their education and just all around boon for the local village economy.
I learned to skip that whole thing and tell them that their mother is probably not feeling well and needs support to get a full medical checkup.
You'd think that women would catch on to that a little sooner than guys would.
