| Abstract: | Based on a sample of over 1120 Danish tourists btw. the ages of 16 and 34, this study examines young adults' use of strip clubs and prostitution while on holidays abroad. It is herein sought for data about the frequency with which they paid for sex and attended strip clubs while on holidays. Surveying the tourists at a Bulgarian airport before their return trip home, the incidence of strip-club patronage during holiday was 48 per cent for men and 8 per cent for women etc. Strip-club patronage and paying for sex were both associated with higher levels of drinking, use of medicaments, and with having done the same thing before the holiday. The study results can be interpreted as part of a wider culture of commodified lechery, which prevails at many nightlife resorts. |
