Male prostitution, cause of rise in pampers sale in Kenya.

The Police in Kenya said Tuesday said they were battling to contain a new trend of commercial sex tourism that targets young boys in the coastal towns of the country.

The reports monitored  from a local radio station, quoted  Police as saying the trend had caused the rise in the sale pampers in the region due to the rising health problems among boys indulging in the act.

Malindi sub county Deputy Police Commissioner, Joshua Nkanatha told Kenya local radio that boys from poor families were being lured into the trade by rich male tourists.

The Police official said the situation had lead to an increase in number of cases of HIV/AIDS spread in the area.

“A survey we conducted shows that boys engaging in sexual activities with male tourists are buying pampers because they can no longer hold their stool, “Nkanatha said.

Nkanatha, who spoke during a Public Baraza at HGM primary school, Malindi said “male prostitution had become high in Malindi and contributing to increased cases of HIV and AIDS.

He urged educated and concerned members of the public to take up the responsibility of enlightening the youths about the health risks of engaging in the vice.

It was never meant to be. God didn't design us for such an act and as such, there are always consequences for doing it. So sad, I can only imagine the pain and the shame they must be feeling.
