CANADA??????

I'm sure Canadian Marxists have it better than UK, US, and Australian
Marxists. After all, Canada is blessed with a population of French
speakers! My evidence is movies directed by Denys Arcand.
But you aren't in the best position to defend the honor of Canadian
Marxist eros, as you went in search of finer things in a warmer
climate. . . . People are just sexier when they are in motion (as in
Latin America) than when they are sitting on their asses (as in North
America).
Of course, if anyone is purely in search of commodified sex rather
than eros, I'd recommend Japan* (for everyday kinks), Germany (for
philosophical perversions,
<http://www.villagevoice.com/people/0351,savage,49509,24.html>), or
the Netherlands (for rest and relaxation) instead.
* The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Japan is one
of the best countries to live in, as long as you are _not_ interested
in left-wing politics!
