Health concerns regarding casual sexual encounters during travel have been recognized for some time. The perception that female travellers' motivations are more romantic rather than sexual when entering a relationship with local men may exclude them from receiving appropriate travel health advice. This may pose even greater health risks, not only to themselves but also to their local partners.
This paper presents 11 Western female tourists' perceptions of their relationships with local men in Cuzco/Peru, based on in-depth interviews, observations, and informal discussions.
Relationships with local men were often triggered by their physical appearance. Other themes identified were: methods and location of first contact, benefits for the local men, safe sex/condom use, and travel health advice received.
The findings support calls for more emphasis on sexual health in travel health education. Three aspects should be included: 1) an awareness that unfamiliar environment can cause 'out of character' behaviour, 2) an emphasis on not only to use but to not stop using condoms, and 3) the need to acquire negotiation skills.
一段时间以来,人们已经认识到旅行中偶然发生的性行为所带来的健康问题。人们认为,女性旅行者在与当地男性建立关系时,其动机更多是浪漫而非性,这可能使她们无法获得适当的旅行健康建议。这可能会给她们自己以及她们的当地伴侣带来更大的健康风险。
本文基于深入访谈、观察和非正式讨论,介绍了 11 名西方女性游客对她们在秘鲁库斯科与当地男性关系的看法。
与当地男性的关系往往是由她们的外表引发的。其他确定的主题包括:第一次接触的方式和地点、对当地男性的好处、安全性行为/使用避孕套以及获得的旅行健康建议。
研究结果支持在旅行健康教育中更加重视性健康的呼吁。应该包括三个方面:1)意识到陌生的环境可能会导致“出格”的行为,2)不仅强调使用避孕套,而且强调不要停止使用避孕套,3)需要掌握谈判技巧。
