I have previously had that sex trade is rife at the coast, but I never realised just how bad the situation is until recently. I have been to the coast a few times before, always accompanied by a boyfriend. So, I was never a victim of any sordid offer. Last weekend, I decided to go on an impromptu solo vacation and was appalled at how prevalent the sex trade is. I was at the coast for 72 hours, and eight total strangers tried to pimp me out. It is akin to how hawkers try to sell you their merchandise in the street of Nairobi. Bartenders and cab drivers double as pimps at the coast.
