Inspired by a post at fem lit posted by
box_o_spiders in response to an article in Bust mag. The writer makes the Unnecessary and dangerous suggestion that young women use their sexuality in order to travel inexpensively. There are other, healthier ways...
I traveled the world, major cities, technologically un developed countries on a shoestring budget. I didn't use my sexuality. At least not intentionally and certainly not when my son traveled with me. I will admit that it didn't hurt to have symmetrical features, big eyes and an easy smile. It didn't hurt that I was a dancer and Yoga instructor and therefore had a very acceptable body type, however, * I downplayed it as much as I could for safety reasons.
