it talks about the sexual tourism where tourists come into Cuba, Cuban men lend out their girlfriends or wives and *rob the tourist silly. *
Could anyone explain that part?



Thanks

In England, the expression is often said as robbing someone blind.

All such expressions mean taking a lot of money from somebody, charging too much.
