Nearest I have personally come to a sex trade besides Lome, Togo was in Oaxaca, Mexico.

I was visiting a blonde who was teaching English there. On the Zocalo every morning there were tables of queer looking middle aged American men. A local informed me they were there for sex with boys. Me I fervently wished for an Uzi at that moment to machine gun all of them.

See? I’m a romantic.
