Teresa's holidays (spoilers)


1. Teresa meets Gabriel the bracelet seller, but she can't bring herself to have sex with him.

2. Then she meets Munga with the dreads and has sex with him multiple times, but when she doesn't give enough money, he retracts.

3. Then she meets Salama the peaceful guy and has sex with him, but when he mentions money for his brother, she retracts.

4. Teresa is given a black man for her birthday but he won't grow on her.

5. Then she takes the barman with the shiny forehead to her room, but he can't bring himself to kiss her down there and she kicks him out.

6. Teresa is lonely. Still nice holidays, please! Touched five penes in two weeks.

1. The West meets African the reservoir of precious metals and jewels seller but West can't bring itself to jump in bed with Africa until Africa lowers the price of its precious metals and jewels2. The West goes Grassroots and shacks up with an ghettoized slummed dilapidated part of Africa that sells its body and soul for money to feed and educate and heal starving uneducated ill children, and when the West fails to donate enough money and claims it's broke while expecting the exploitation to continue, the West acts surprised and outraged and reacts with violence when the African cuts off the [phallic] pipeline and sides with - G-d forbid! - Africa.3. Then the West moves on to a peaceful section of Africa and the exploitation continues until Africa asks for money.4. For a lucrative amount of money the West is finally gifted with a tame docile African puppet who does everything the puppet is asked to do, raped and humiliated and dehumanized beyond belief, but when the West realizes the African puppet really is just a puppet, not in the least bit aroused by or won over by the West's conduct, the West revokes support for and kicks out the puppet.5. Then the West tries to gets in bed with the neutral African who doesn't need money and thus refuses to sell himself and indirectly states the West is disgusting and he won't sell himself to the West, the West once again kicks out Africa once and for all.6. The West wonders why the West is so isolated and hated by the rest of the world.

Dude, talk about stretching an analogy!

- don't worry that's just my signature.

The analogy works and I was entertained, but leaves out the gender issues and the sexual aspects.

Sexual colonization is real



Dictated, but not read.

Great analysis. It would seem that the movie is more of an analogy than straight story telling as AIDS is not mentioned once as a concern by anyone, though condom is requested one time. Who would go to Africa for sex tourism, and especially have no concern for HIV/AIDS?

Who would visit Africa for sex tourism? People who want to have sex with Africans! LOL.. Sex tourism is rife in Africa with white women from Europe forming a large bulk of the clientele. You think the film is just fiction?

This is why little to no concern for HIV/AIDS is expressed by the characters:

Women seeking to experience sex with foreign men put themselves at a higher risk for STIs. Condom use during sex tours is relatively low. It is often cited that women have the intention to have safe sex with their casual sex partners while on vacation, but at some point during the initiation of the condom, the women do not follow through.[7]

The sex workers usually will not initiate the use of a condom due to either the limited availability of condoms, cost, beliefs or previous experiences the sex worker has had with condoms.[14]

The lack of barrier contraceptives increases the risk of the tourist obtaining a sexually transmitted infection from their foreign partner especially when their partner has been with multiple women.

With sex tourism, women report that, given the atmosphere and the exoticness of their lover; condoms are rarely used or discussed prior to engaging in sexual activities.[14]

It has been found that in the Monteverde region of Costa Rica data researched by Nancy Romero Daza, has shown that female tourists in the region engage in some form of unprotected sexual activity with local men known as Gringueros. The women in the study were found to not be traditional sex tourists but situational sex tourists.[14]

I shouldn't have put the comma before "and" in my sentence. Of course, someone could be attracted to Africans, but having no concern for HIV is astounding. The continent is devastated by the disease with some areas having more orphans, resulting from AIDS deaths, than adults.

I read what you posted, but haven't followed the link, and it looks like it is talking about South America.
