We cannot position these interactions as ‘between consenting adults’ when it is clear that the power dynamic between the ‘blesser’ and ‘blessee’ is skewed and unequal. I have zero judgement against same sex/bisexual/whatever-turns-you-on between consenting adultsīut here is my sentiment. I have zero judgement against those consenting adults who choose to play out their sexual fantasies with whomever they wish. And there are those who are quite vehement in advocating the rights of sex amongst consenting adults. There are those who applaud this young woman for taking a stand against this culture of older men preying on younger ‘victims’ to, hopefully, show others the pitfalls of what is deemed a ‘glamourous, aspirational’ lifestyle. The contents of this ‘hot’ novel have brought to the surface discussions around transactional sex. Again, for those not exposed to this growing phenomenon, it’s a term used to describe men and women who are ‘blessed’ by extremely wealthy lovers, usually older, who shower them with anything and everything money can buy, in exchange for carnal relations. I have not read Jackie Phamotse’s account of her life as a ‘blessee’. It’s also the subject of a bestselling book. Money is not an object for those willing to indulge in pleasures of the flesh. The realm of uber-wealthy men, who buy whatever sexual favours they can dream of from men and women. For those not in the know, it’s an exclusive club housed at a secret location in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs.
I’m still reeling from the revelations of the Bryanston Hockey Club.
