Sex tourism: combine the pleasure of travel with deepening your intimacy. Which are the world's most popular destinations?
Sex tourism is not new at all, its roots go back (unsurprisingly) to antiquity. Even then, people travelled for erotic experiences and visited specific cults and temples that promised not only spiritual but also physical pleasure. In its various forms, this type of experience has survived to the present day in the light of technological advances and societal norms.
Modern sex tourism began to gain popularity in the second half of the 20th century. With the relaxation of social customs and advances in human rights, a whole new range of possibilities opened up. The first destinations to specialise in providing these experiences were often emerging countries in Asia, such as Thailand. It became one of the first epicentres of this kind of tourism, attracting visitors with its exoticism and liberal attitudes towards sexual services. Pattaya and Bangkok in particular have quickly become well-known centres where tourists can enjoy a truly diverse range of erotic experiences.
However, people not only wanted giant centres and luxurious brothels, they also wanted to have their extraordinary experience right in their accommodation. And as we know, where there is demand, there is supply.
One of the first hotels to offer such specialised erotic services was the Hôtel Amour in Paris. This hotel was a pioneer in the field of 'kink tourism', combining luxury accommodation with erotic experiences and kinky decor. Thanks to its popularity, other similar hotels and resorts have sprung up around the world to cater to the different tastes and preferences of sex tourists.
If you have ever considered visiting such an establishment with your spouse or partner, then know that this kind of tourism can help rekindle romance and keep the intimacy in your relationship if perhaps you have been missing it. In fact, according to a report by US Travel, "sex travel" together helps couples communicate better and discover new aspects of their relationship dynamics, which is often one of the main reasons couples take such trips in the first place. They often find out things about each other on such trips that they would never normally tell each other.
Fortunately for couples who are interested in both travel and extraordinary erotic experiences, there are many destinations around the world that can satisfy them. So, below are some of the most interesting and exciting places you can visit to explore your fantasies and desires.
