And today one of the chief ways that foreign visitors there seek pleasure is through prostitution. While much has been written on the female sex workers who service these tourists, Caribbean Pleasure Industry shifts the focus onto the men. Drawing on his groundbreaking ethnographic research in the Dominican Republic, Mark Padilla discovers a complex world where the global political and economic impact of tourism has led to shifting sexual identities, growing economic pressures, and new challenges for HIV prevention. In fluid prose, Padilla analyzes men who have sex with male tourists, yet identify themselves as "normal" heterosexual men and struggle to maintain this status within their relationships with wives and girlfriends. Padilla's exceptional ability to describe the experiences of these men will interest anthropologists, but his examination of bisexuality and tourism as much-neglected factors in the HIV/AIDS epidemic makes this book essential to anyone concerned with health and sexuality in the Caribbean or beyond. 410 0$aWorlds of desire. 606 $aSex tourism$zDominican Republic 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$zDominican Republic 606 $aGender identity$zDominican Republic 610 $aaids, sexuality, tourism, prostitution, caribbean, hospitality, sex work, gender, disease, public health, pleasure, travel, nonfiction, dominican republic, male prostitutes, homosexuality, hiv, sexual identity, heterosexuality, bisexuality, prevention, santo domingo, discretion, gay, risk, lgbt, lgbtq, lgbtqia, authenticity, finance, commerce, love. 615 0$aSex tourism 615 0$aAIDS (Disease) 615 0$aGender identity 676 $a306.76/62097293 686 $a44.06$2bcl 686 $a71.67$2bcl 700 $aPadilla$b Mark$f1969-$01528790 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782543003321 996 $aCaribbean pleasure industry$93772638 997 $aUNINA
