Fish and sex. There's a joke in there somewhere, but I just can't seem to sniff it out.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to screw fish, and you may remember him from such nature films as "Earwigs, Ew." and "Man Vs Nature... The Road To Victory".

But how will the fish reproduce? This initiative will cause the extinction of many fish species in Lake Victoria.

Sex for Fish - sounds like a '80's punk band.

No blood for oil!
No sex for fish!

Sex for Fish sounds like an even trade. Both parties leave with meat that smells like fish.

It's pretty sad when the only goods and services you can barter for food are sex. Can't you make pottery? Can't you mend nets? Can't you wash clothes? Anything? They have failed at basic human economics.

What might these fishy women look like?

Are Kenyan women in the "hot Africans" column or the "I'd rather not" column?

Is sex worth more than pottery, mending, or washing? If so, then they've succeeded at economics, and you've failed.

Ha, this. I was gonna say, I can mend my own nets, knowmsayin?? And I don't need no fancy pottery....

and here i thought the sex was the link to the fish.

You both fail. Sex is easier and energetically cheaper to produce than mending nets, washing clothes and making pottery.

Or the current glut of goods coming out of the industrial nations have destroyed their economy.

funny. I think I had no self esteem until I had teen sex (I was a teen at the time, so I don't need to sit over there)

Well, you're assuming that there's junk laying around. When I was in Swaziland, there wasn't much of anything except dirt and trees who's sap could blind you.

Even if she has skills, she may not have raw materials.

Also, it works like this: Girl is abused, but given food. She has now been taught that 'transactional sex' can feed her family.

"No Sex for Fish"? What? You're trying to convince fish to get married?

tune in next week for 'sex for mooring' fee report

sex has always been a fungible commodity in basic human economics

Interesting initiative. Can't wait to see what the unexpected, unintended consequences will be. Also, I would love to see the ethnographic studies showing that "women may have relationships with random fishermen to acquire fish commodities for sale and profit in a risky affair." I don't doubt for a second that women are exchanging sex for fish, which they then turn around and sell. I highly doubt that women are having sex with "random" fishermen to do so. More likely, there are established, but still flexible, social relations involved.

There's high potential here that well-meaning do-gooders, operating from a particular moral perspective - that a) women are inherently oppressed, and b) it is always wrong to exchange sex for anything but love [which, by the way, fits very nicely with the very conservative Christian morality that many Kenyans subscribe to] - are going to unintentionally, and unwittingly, toss a complicated political-economic situation upside down.
