The new age of prostitution, in an article on follows these two older women from England who traveled to Kenya for sex. Allie and Bethan planned to spend a month venturing the palm-fringed beaches.

“When I go into the clubs, those are the only women I look for now,” he told Reuters. “I get to live like the rich mzungus (white people) who come here from rich countries, staying in the best hotels and just having my fun.”
At one club, a group of about 25 dancing men — most of them Joseph look-alikes — edge closer and closer to a crowd of more than a dozen white women, all in their autumn years.
