Jamaica Tours, Guides and Vacations

Sex tourism in Jamaica is huge and a much larger part of the tourist industry in this country than many want to admit to. I would say a majority of single travelers have plans to find some sex when they get here. The number of hedo resorts and nude beaches should be a tip but it’s certainly understood to be an important thing for many tourists and prostitutes are often times allowed in to resort clubs and bars for free to attract more customers. Most Jamaicans are black and most tourists are white so there’s a lot of short term interracial relationships on the island and it is common to see white tourists both male and female with Jamaican prostitutes both male and female.

I have been coming back and forth since 2001 and I have never once had a white woman hit on me in this country. Why? Because I’m not black enough for them. I have been told by a number of white women in Jamaica that I look foreign and obviously am not Jamaican. It’s an instant turn off for them and I get absolutely no play from white girls in Jamaica.

On the other hand the Jamaican ladies just love me and my light skin complexion and foreign style gets me more play than the average white boy or Jamaican but I’m not looking for women in Jamaica. It’s just a lot of fun to flirt and play around and who doesn’t like the attention. As a man in Jamaica it’s pretty easy to find some company and a little fun but its harder to find some good clean fun. If you do come to Jamaica in search of sex you won’t have to go far before you find it and in many cases it will find you but be careful. HIV rates in Jamaica are alarming and estimates are that more than 60% of the prostitutes in Jamaica are infected.

It does seem as the video suggests that many white women come to Jamaica either alone or with a friend in search of one thing and one thing alone, “The Big Bamboo” as the locals call it. It’s rather simple to see things happen on any night in Jamaica. You can enter just about any club, restaurant or bar and find white female tourists with Jamaican guys all over them dancing in seductive or downright rude style and having a good time.

I know guys here in Negril who have at least a dozen girls that bounce back and forth between the States or Europe to see them at least once if not twice a year for a week or twos worth of fun in the sun. These ladies bring all sorts of gifts like new clothes and a fresh pair of Nike shoes to shower on their men and the guys eat it up. I know for certain one friend has been given a car worth over $4,000 just for taking care of one woman well enough and this same guy had two ladies spend over $60,000 to throw a concert which lost everything they put into it and no one seemed to care.

Is there anything wrong with this? I don’t think so. As long as everyone understands the motives and the situation there should be no problem mon. I do feel sorry for some of these women who seem to think these guys actually care for them. They look at this more like a job and servicing these women is only as important to them as the gifts or cash they receive.

Usain Bolt is having a good year. On top of taking Gold at the Beijing Olympics he has been collecting numerous awards and gifts since his return to Jamaica.

He is now the Jamaica Gleaners Man of the Year and well deserving of the award. There is no doubt he has sparked an outpouring of national pride unlike anything Jamaica has seen in years and he’s given hope to a million poorJamaican children with the hopes of taking it “To The World”

Jamaica Gleaner News - Bolt on top - Olympian cops Gleaner’s top award - Tuesday | November 11, 2008

Usain Bolt’s trophy cabinet is getting awfully packed. After months of receiving national gold medals, honours and dozens of gifts and prizes, ‘Lightning Bolt’ took home another august award yesterday when he was named The Gleaner’s Man of the Year 2008.

As the drum roll echoed from the speaker boxes at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel, New Kingston, and images of Bolt on the Beijing tracks appeared on two large screens, the anxious audience relived the thrilling Olympic moments.

Nikki Royal is having a birthday party and it’s going to be one helluva birthday party for one helluva lady with performances by Peter and Gramps of Morgan Heritage as well as Dexta Daps and my boy Ras Slick and others. It should be a great reggae concert at The Jungle Negril on Friday November 14th 2008. Give us a call if you want VIP tickets in advance.

I’ve been pretty lucky with opportunities since moving here and over the last year alone I have met a lot of important people and done a lot of really cool things. The camera has been a great source of many of my opportunities and it was good to have to use for my latest super cool adventure to Kingston for the Private Party and Tribute for Olympic Gold Medal Winner and the Fastest Man in the World, the new king of Jamaica Mr. Usain Bolt.

Usain Bolt and his Triple Gold Medals have captivated the country and caused a gush of national pride to roll across Jamaica like a tidal wave of yellow, green and black. Nothing is more in fashion than wild use of the Jamaican national colors and almost everyone has their Jamaican flag flying somehow or someway. His amazing performance and bravado on the track have struck a chord with all Jamaicans and Usain Bolt is without a doubt the best thing to happen to the countries morale in a very long time.

I hope they don’t politicize it but I’m afraid it may be to late for that already. He received a personal phone call from Prime Minister Bruce Golding just after his World Record Breaking performance in the Mens 100M. I doubt the opposition parties Portia Miller had the same access to him in China.

So, I was riding in a van with my good friend Ras Slick and I picked up a Gleaner newspaper to read as we took a little trip up to Orange Hill. There was a full page ad on the inside of the front section with details on the week long tribute to the Jamaican Olympic team including two motorcades from the airport and around the island plus awards ceremonies, parties and all sorts of things. It should be noted that Negril was completely ignored in these celebrations but I understand they have plans of their own. The most interesting of these was the private party which would offer the best chance to meet people or the open event at National Stadium which should have been the largest single crowd.

Slick has a link that allowed him to request an invitation to the private party at Club Quad and he was able to grab tickets for us. I was glad to go just for the photo opportunities and to see the athletes up close but it turned out to a great club and a wicked party until the early morning hours. Usain seemed to enjoy himself and he spent much of the night dancing with his fans in a room full of people who loved him and what he had done.

I hope that Usain will make it over to Negril in December for a tribute event being considered here.
