Download Channel 4 My Boyfriend the Sex Tourist - Part 1

Acclaimed director Monica Garnsey takes a critical look at global sex tourism, focusing on the situation in Venezuela and Thailand.

Part 1: The Girlfriend Experience

At an all-inclusive resort on Margarita Island, run by Yorkshireman Paul Baxter, men get to do what most package holiday-makers do sunbathe, go sailing, and eat out at beach-front restaurants. But at Total Satisfaction, all-inclusive really does mean all-inclusive. Guys are greeted by a line-up of gorgeous Venezuelan prostitutes who are there to provide some men with the one thing they don't have a girlfriend for the week.

In a country where President Hugo Chavez rails against the excesses of global capitalism, Western men flock to spend their hard-earned cash on a natural resource more plentiful than oil.

The men claim they are seeking companionship as much as sex, they talk about love and marriage, and bring gifts of cheap jewellery and underwear. But for the girls at the resort, could the emotional strain of pretending actually to like their male clients be tougher than a 24 hour stint in a Caracas whore-house?

And for the men, too, the girlfriend experience the resort sells can be a painful one, as one guy finds out when he does the one thing Paul Baxter, proprietor, advises his clients never to do: gets emotionally attached.
