‘Western Union Daddies’ and Their Quest for Authenticity: An Ethnographic Study of the Dominican Gay Sex Tourism Industry


Summary

Research Direction:male sex work in the Dominican Republic | gay sex tourism and its impact | sexual commoditization in tourism

INTRODUCTION

This paper focuses on the phenomenon of sex tourism in the Dominican Republic, particularly the interactions between Dominican male sex workers and foreign gay tourists. It begins with a description of Charlie's bar, which is emblematic of this type of sex tourism. The bar's owner, Simon, a gay British expatriate, presides over activities such as tourists soliciting sex workers, police extortion, and the complex relationships that expand. The research aims to understand the process of sexual commoditization in the sex tourism industry and its intersection with the subjective experiences of sex workers and clients, using a multi-method approach.

METHODOLOGY

The research deeply interested three years of multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork from 1999 to 2001. The methodology was both qualitative and quantitative, with three basic phases. The first phase identified and mapped the areas and social spaces wh

I''ve become addicted to Dominican men.

They're all so ridiculously good looking and hot. And don't acquire me started on their dense, meaty bubble butts. They REALLY get my boihole all atwitter. Many of them are bi too. Most of the guys in my gym are Dominican, and I've slept with at least six of them in the past year. %0D %0D %0D I moved to Inwood last year, and they're all around. They're everywhere.

A Study of Same-Sex Longing and Belonging Among Dominican Men

Carlos Decena's new guide provides insights into the immigrant gay experience, and in particular, self-disclosure


New York City has long been a beacon for gays and lesbians. Its diversity, liberal politics, and thriving, multifaceted queer culture are a powerful lure to self-seekers from across the globe.

But as Rutgers professor Carlos Ulises Decena demonstrates in his pioneering modern book, Tacit Subjects: Belonging and Same-Sex Desire among Dominican Immigrant Men (Duke University Press 2011), the lives of gay Fresh Yorkers do not all hew to a available, overarching narrative of sexual freedom.

The gay men Decena interviewed for his manual live and often function in the Dominican enclave of Washington Heights in upper Manhattan, and are neither fully in nor out of the closet. Same-sex relationships are just one of the opportunities they seek as immigrants, he notes, and they carefully manage personal data within their community lest it compromise other life-giving pursuits, including economic and social advancement.

A beat title for this story would be ‘Gay Santo Domingo’ since outside this capital city there is very brief identifiable LGBT existence in the Dominican Republic. Most natives approach to the capital city Santo Domingo if they grasp they are unlike and look to make a group of friends And indeed they perform come here and they do discover a new family. In my swing through the northern corner of the Caribbean, I first went to Jamaica, Cuba and Haiti. In all three of these countries LGBT folks dwell shadow lives, treading carefully between authorities who don’t react kindly to homosexuals and a populace who range from very homophobic (Jamaica) to laissez-faire homophobic (Cuba).

But Santo Domingo was a pleasant surprise—actually it was a startling surprise. Expecting another uptight gay-unfriendly culture I had found very little about same-sex attracted life in Dominican Republic on the Internet before I flew into town with one contact name and the addresses of a couple of homosexual haunts. By the time I left I had visited three of the liveliest discos/clubs in the Caribbean, circulated throughout most of the city and met four very articulate lesbigay people who essentially notify
