Man caught with gay sex
toys at Lusaka international airport
08 Apr 2007- Zambia- Jimmy
tell Africanveil of his embarrassment at Lusaka int airport when he was
asked to open his luggage for a routine check.
Having had to go and spend his
vacation abroad, jimmy thought of spoiling himself on sex toys. ‘I had a
lovely time and was looking forward to getting back home after being on
the plane for over 10 hours.
Upon arrival I never thought I would
be asked if I had anything to declare but for some reason I now ask
myself if I needed to declare my sex toys. When I opened my luggage the
office went through with gloved hands and took out my pleasure toys.
At first I thought it was
embarrassing but then it turned out to be a case, they had to look at
every different dildo I had and asked me to explain the difference, I
had run out of words, my mouth was dry, then one other officer said we
should go to a separate office where they were going to search me as
they thought I had more things to hide.
I had never been humiliated in my
life, no one has ever asked me to explain the difference between dildos
and how they worked and why different colours never, not even a sales
person where I bought them explained anything to me. Any way when we got
into this office they now searched my again and found Lubrication,
flavoured condoms and room Odorizer ‘Poppers’.
I was asked what business I was
doing and if I was married, If I was married they also wanted proof and
I told them I was not a business man and was single, then one officer a
comment saying ‘Yakumbuyo’ meaning to say behind business, it’s a very
common term used for gay people, and the other office said if it was a
woman with these things it would be ok.
Then I realised that they knew I was
gay but my main concern was how was I going to get out of this mess,
knowing the law in Zambia regarding Homosexuals, I then decided to
negotiate with them and by that I mean digging into my pockets for cash
so as to get out of there before other officers came in.
I felt so sad that I had to do that
because of my sexuality, its sad I know but if you stack in countries
with such rules there’s not much one can do apart from just warning my
friends out there that are heading this way to be careful that’s how
come I had to contact Africanveil about my experience thanks to you all
publishing this on the site.
