Sex tourism and child prostitution in cuba

You can keep spreading lies all you want, I'll keep posting this:


"Information on child sex tourism in Cuba is limited and while child prostitution is viewed as a problem, it does not appear to be on a large scale."

Having had uncles go to Cuba, I can say this with accuracy. The women are beautiful mulatoos who have a lot of self respect, that is not to say that they do not sleep with tourists, they do, but the Cuban women would not tolerate child prostitution and the same can be said for the men. So any prostitution that is happening is happening with women over 18.
 
We're speaking in hypotheticals, so let's just say that I have a fully automatic just sitting at my side at all times.

Besides, renting is just stupid. I'd rather just take her with me. Just like Comcast, when you have things "on demand" they're so much better.
all most guys need is the constant of their family jewels. guns 24/7 are overkill.
 
Cuba was estimate to have about 11,500 prostitutes in 1958 before the Revolution. That number now is over 200,000 prostitutes. In 1958 the Cuban population was 6.5 million, and in 200 was estimate at 11.4 million. If no increase in prostitution had occurred, the actual number of prostitutes shall be 20,000. The prostitution under the regime has increased 10 fold. Castro brothers turned the island into a huge brothel.

Now that is not entirely true. You see in Cuba there is a larger number of professionals then there are here. In Cuba, there are many people who study medicine and engineering. You want to know what is a bigger problem in Cuba? Many people since they have studied so much refuse to do menial jobs regardless if that means they are unemployed(theoretically you can't be unemployed in a communist system). So in Cuba there is a shortage of people who will do menial jobs so that means that there is always an excess of garbage in public areas. Its silly really but what do you expect from a bunch of overeducated snobs?

Also in Russia and like around the world prostitution is not viewed with such taboo as it is here in the states.

Well, I doubt that.
There are girls as young as 15 and 16 working in strip clubs, jack shacks (aka "lingerie modeling studios", "exotic tanning salons"), and outcall services right here in the US.
I've known at least a dozen of them personally.
When they get caught, they get fired. But a lot of times they never get caught.
Ergo, I'm sure there are some working in prostitution as well, both here in the US and abroad.

I don't really consider these teenagers "children"; they use fake IDs, pass for adults, and fool everybody about their age.
I do think their relative inexperience with life puts them at a disadvantage, and that they are at slightly higher risk of having something bad happen to them than an older woman would be. But the same applies to many 18 year olds, or to anyone else new to the business.

Personally, I think prostitution should be made legal here in the U.S. Go ahead and legalize it and have the government regulate it. That way, guys like Lawrence Taylor know the prostitute they are seeing are really over the age of 18 instead of having to always be scared of the lies pimps will tell them, and prostitutes won't have to be afraid of abuse by pimps.

It wouldn't help.
The businesses I enumerated in my previous post are legal, if shady... and minors still manage to worm their way into them.
Of course, if these things were more regulated, it might be different.
As it is, workers in adult entertainment are classified as "independent contractors", and their identification is not heavily scrutinized.
Hiring practices are pretty laissez faire.

I was talking about in Cuba and I mean that the majority of prostitutes in Cuba are over 18. They are not children as was posted by the OP.

I understand.
They are no doubt mostly women in their mid-teens to mid-30s, just like anywhere else in the world.

Right but they are not children, also in many nations across the world it is ok to have consensual sex with a 15yr old.

I agree entirely, as evidenced by the fact that, as a young woman, I had friends working in the industry who I knew were underage, and I never reported them or turned them in. If I'd perceived them to be "children", I would have done so. There is no point in my life at which I wouldn't have taken action to protect children from sexual predation, if I knew it was going on.

Maybe today, from my perspective as an older woman, I would do differently.
Maybe I'd at least try to help them find alternatives.
But at the time, I figured they were doing what they needed to do to take care of themselves.
16-year-olds don't seem much different than 18-year-olds, to me.

This article in Spanish newspaper El Mundo, provides details of how Cuba has become a paradise for sexual tourists who go to Cuba to rape innocent women and children, who are forced to prostitute themselves in order to survive.
Spanish newspaper El Mundo provides details of child prostitution in Castro's Cuba

Looks like a gentle grandmother. She is around 50 and dresses like a nun in the convent, with loose and inconspicuous clothing. Her name is Ileana and she is an admitted lesbian.

Her business is prostitution. She always carries a black leather folder, and is looking for partying foreigners or Cubans with money that have had too much to drink and which she believes are looking for a hot night. She approaches them politely to offer her services.

From the black leather folderer, slowly, looking at both sides and taking care of people near her, she pulls an album of glossy photos, that no doubt wasprepared by a professional photographer, with dozens of boys and girls, depending on the sexual preferences, appear short of clothes and in provocative poses.

In her catalog, the grandmother-madame has everything. Blondes, brunettes, mulatto and black. "They are very young, my son, but if you are looking for some 12 or 13 years old, you will have to pay more," says Ileana in a maternal soft voice.

The madame starts providing prices in a soft voice. "One night 20 convertible pesos, two lesbians, twenty per head. What I have here is first clas. These are shy girls, who are not full-time protitutes, some are students," she explains while detailing the quality of her "merchandise."

Clients are taken to discreet brothels where they are offered expensive drinks and hors d'oeuvres. The chosen girl is already there waiting. After having a strong rum drink or a couple of beers with her, they go to an air-conditioned room that has TV and music.

Because an El Mundo article is so much more authoritative than a study done by an organization whose focus is this very issue. :roll:
 
This abhorrent type of child prostitution isn’t tolerated in US and Europe, where the facilitator and the costumer, will be sent to jail for many years, but not in Cuba where is tolerated by the corrupt regime that turn a blind-eye for profit.
 
Girls prostitution in Cuba


Prostitucion


Spanish journalists using hidden camera show the corruption of professors and police who with their approval promote, prostitutes and facilitate Cuban girls to foreign tourists.

In this documentary come out shinning the "famous and vaunted accomplishments" of the Revolution in Cuba’s education.

The scene: A junior high school in the Plaza Municipality a few blocks from the Central Committee location.

The Protagonists: Girls from 14 to 16 years old. corrupts Professors and police, pimps and journalists.

Documentary presented in October 3, 2008, and filmed in January 2008 by Tele5 of Spain.

This is a huge issue in Cuba. Each year, more and more girls turn to prostitution as a source of income.

This is a huge issue in Cuba.

And once again I will post this proving you wrong.


"Information on child sex tourism in Cuba is limited and while child prostitution is viewed as a problem, it does not appear to be on a large scale."

And once again, stop spamming, you're obviously wrong.

Pimps and corrupt police are the "protagonists"?
Is this an experimental film? Neo-avant-garde? :lol:
 
The Revolution supposedly was done to eliminate that kind of profession, but instead, the number of prostitutes that Cuba has right now is 100 times higher that before 1959.

Good thing this statistic is complete horse****, otherwise I'd have to spend hours and hours, if not days, applauding Fidel & Co.

Why about child prostitution? Do you object to it
No.

I object to pompous do-gooders who try to force their agendas onto everyone through big government, especially if they're self-styled conservatives who otherwise claim to be against Big Government.

Centrally planned moralities are just as prone to failure as centrally planned economies!
