Local laws about prostitution, escorts and sex tourism

If you are going to Brazil with the goal of enjoying the different amenities of the sex tourism in this country, then it’s important that you are aware of the laws about this. So, is prostitution legal in Brazil? The short answer is yes, but still we recommend you to read the following lines.
So, prostitution in Brazil is legal, in terms of exchanging sex for money, since there isn’t any law that says someone can’t voluntarily become a sex worker. Of course, as long as the person is older than 18 years old. What it’s illegal is to operate a brothel or to employ sex workers, to put it bluntly, being a PIMP.
As we said, prostitution is legal, but this doesn’t mean it’s regulated. This means that any girl can become a prostitute in one day without passing any medicals examinations. For this reason, it’s highly recommended that you always wear protection in any kind of sexual engagement. Talking about the same, since prostitution isn’t regulated, places such as nightclubs aren’t regulated either. So, be careful because prostitution is legal but exploitation or human trafficking, of course, isn’t legal. Anyway, as long as you only attend to the places recommended in this blog, you won’t get in trouble.

Now, talking about escorts, where can I find them? So, there are a lot of exclusive escorts in Barra da Tijuca waiting for wealthy clients to hire them.

If you want to find escorts who are working, it’s better to search in the escorts directories that we will recommend you or in an escorts’ agency.
In this section we’ll show the best options for each kind of sex tourism resort, but before, let’s see how they are named in Brazil.

Kind of sex resorts

So, as you might already know, in Brazil people talk Portuguese, so the name of some resorts can change. But don’t worry, here we’ll tell you everything you need to know.
First we have nightclubs, there are several ways to call it. Normally, you will hear the terms boate and balada. They mean the same, basically a disco where people come to dance and drink. But boate can also be used to refer to some kind of small brothels, similar to stripclubs in the USA, with the difference that the institution allows its clients to leave with the girl by paying a fee. These places are also called puteiros, word which came from puta, which means slut. In Barra da Tijuca’s boates, you will find girls who are working there and others that just go for fun. So, be careful and respectful with everybody.
Regarding massage parlors, they work in the same way as anywhere else, you know, check in, choose girl and take bath. More details when you reach that section. How are they called in Rio de Janeiro? Here people tend to call these places “casas de fast sex” or “fast fodas” or also “clínicas de massagem“.
The rest of sex tourism resorts work basically in the same way as any part of the world. Swinger clubs are named in the same way. The same happens with BDSM clubs, which aren’t popular in Brazil, though. Regarding nudist beaches, they are called prais nudistas and nudist resorts can be clubes nudistas. And motels are called in the same way.

Nightclubs / Boates

Boates are basically discos where music plays and people come to dance and have some drinks. But, there are some boates that go beyond this and counts with a team of girls who offer sexual services to the customers. Apart from this, independent escorts tend to go to nightclubs in order to find clients. Although, if you are a fine-looking man and know how to flirt a bit in Portuguese, you may even have chances to get a casual girl. It’s unusual to get laid with a casual girl at the same night, but if she keeps talking with you the following day, you may stand a chance.
Now, talking about boates in Barra da Tijuca, unfortunately, there aren’t many choices that offer girls working for the venue. Regarding escorts, you can find some, but normally if they come here it’s for fun and not for working. So, if you are looking for escorts, this may not be the best option. Remember that the city is small. Anyway, the options you will find won’t let you down if you like parties! Let’s see them:

Massage Parlors

If you are not really keen on nightclubs, and you prefer something calmer, probably massage parlors will be a better option for you. What are they exactly? Well, in, they are basically spas where you get a massage and a happy ending too. How exactly does it work? Well, you go to the place and a girl will greet you and show you the massage professionals available and the facilities of the place if you are new. Then, it’s time to choose a girl. Once you have chosen one, you will go to a lockers’ room where you have to leave your belongings and clothes in order to take a shower. After the shower, the girl will be waiting for you in the room and well, you can guess the rest of the story.
In general, most massage parlors count with few rooms and not a big amount of ladies to choose, but the quality of the massages generally are excellent. Other, more exclusive massage parlors can be equipped with saunas or pools.
Since the city isn’t big, there are just 3 interesting options at the moment of writing this, so let’s see them

Swinger Clubs / BDSM Clubs

If you are into swinger clubs, then today’s is your lucky day! Before going to the issue, we should explain what these terms mean for the people who are new to this.
So, first, what is swing? Well, to put it bluntly, swinging is a practice that consist of exchanging couples. Superficially, that is swing. But in a swinger club can happen way more than that. That’s why these clubs are also called “lifestyle clubs” because they are open to a lot of kinks as long as there is consent in all parts. What practices does this include? Generally you can find ménage, exhibitionism, voyeurism and even BDSM. And what is BDSM? Let’s see the meaning of each letter: The abbreviation means “bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism“. With this we suppose you will get the idea.
Why do we say you are lucky today? First, in Brazil people are still very conservative and this kind of inclinations aren’t so supported. But, in Barra da Tijuca there are 2 interesting options!
Regarding BDSM clubs, in Brazil you won’t find any kind of dungeons, clubs or organizations which supports this kind of kink. Anyway, in any of these clubs that we will recommend you, maybe you will have the opportunity to meet someone interesting who shares kinks with you.
So, what are our options?

Escorts Directories

As we already told you, the best form to find escorts in Barra da Tijuca and everywhere nowadays is by internet. When it comes to find escorts in internet, you have two options: searching them in escorts directories or in escorts agencies.
Now, let’s talk about how finding escorts in escorts directories and what we should know.
Let’s start explaining what escorts directories are. First, you have to understand that these aren’t agencies, which means that the girls who appear in these sites are working independently. Basically, in escorts directories, girls have the possibility of creating their own profiles or just creating posts on these websites, so clients can find them.
There are different kinds of escorts directories, we have divided them into three groups, let’s see them:
The first one is the most basic, here girls share their profiles or just share posts without being supervised by a team. So, in these sites you will find a lot of possibilities, but be careful because there isn’t any guarantee they are actual profiles. In general, girls who publish here are newbies. If you find an escort that is too good for being there, it may be fake and will ask you for paying beforehand and then disappears.
The second, it’s a bit safer. Here girls have the possibilities or, in some sites, the obligation to prove the veracity of the pictures of the profile. In general, the escorts who have been tested will receive a badge on their profiles which says “verified”.
The last kind of escorts directories are premium options. Here, all escorts who appear in the site had to pay to be there. Generally, there are categories such as: “diamond“, “platinum“, “gold“, etc. Then, escorts will decide in which category they want to be, depending on which one they can afford.

How to hire them?

It’s simple, just click on their profiles and there, you will see the phone number of the escort. Add it and write her a message or make a call, depending on the escort’s preference. So, when you see an escort’s profile, most of them write if they do out-calls or in-calls, or both. The first option means that they go to your place. On the other hand, the second option means that they own a flat or have rented a place where you can go. So, as you are calling or texting her, she will ask you that, how long do you want the service and more things. Finally, the payment and the deal is close.

The best Escorts Directories:

Now that you know how this works, let’s see in which directories you can find the best escorts in Barra da Tijuca:

Apart from that, you can see their ages and most of them added how much they charge. If you click in “ver anúncio” you will have additional information about the girl, more detailed prices and her telephone number. How do I contract her? As before, write her a WhatsApp and there you will negotiate everything.
• lifescorts.com: Being one of the most exclusive escorts directories, lifescorts displays escorts from several countries and cities.

Escorts Agencies

You already know how escorts directories work, and, what about escorts agencies? Well, basically it’s an organization where someone or a group advertise escorts online. The difference is that you can’t message directly to the escort. You will talk with a representative who will share you all the details.
In most countries, the escorts you can find in an agency are the best of the best. But, in the case of Brazil, it seems that elite escorts prefer to work independently because escorts agencies aren’t so popular. In the case of escorts agencies in Barra da Tijuca, we could only find one that is worth it.

Motels / Hotels

Brazil has a tradition of building really glamorous and sensual motels that you won’t find in any other part of the world. In most Brazilian big cities, you will probably find several examples. In the case of Barra da Tijuca, there isn’t any interesting motel. But, there you will find the most exclusive 5-star hotels. So, if you have the money, you can rent any suite and take your escort or couple there without problems.
In this case, we won’t recommend you any particular hotel, since all will work perfectly.

Nudist beach / resorts

Brazilians are people who are used to being in the beach in tiny bikinis (or sungas in the case of men) and everybody sees it as normal. This isn’t nudism, we know, but this is a good example that Brazilians are sort of open-minded in this aspect.
Now, regarding nudist beaches, there is an amazing beach which is very close to Barra da Tijuca. Apart from that one, there are 3 more beaches, but you will need a car to reach the others. Also, there is a nudist club, which is a bit far away, but if you like naturism, you’d probably won’t care if you are keen on this.

How can I stay safe?

When you are visiting a new destination it’s always a good a idea to inform yourself about possible threads, dangers, scams, etc. When you are aware of this, you can easily avoid being a victim of a crime and you will feel safer during your travel. That’s why we thought that creating this section on the blog would help you to have a better travel and enjoy more the sex tourism without being worried about everything.

Some advice

When we travel, there are some recommendations which are obvious but sometimes we tend to ignore or forget. In this part, we’ll try to remind them to you.
First, don’t carry more things than necessary during a day. Why? Well, in the worst case scenario that someone steals you, you won’t lose much. Seems obvious, but many like to go out wearing their most precious pieces of jewelry and with the wallets full of money (In the city of course you can use cards, but in the most remote parts of Brazil cash is still used) So, avoid this at all cost.
Second, still related with the last advice, the most frequent crime that happens with tourist is pickpocketing. You have to be careful when you are surrounded by crowds or seating in public transport. Thieves are very skillful and can take something from you and you won’t even notice until it’s too late. How can you avoid this? Well, keep your hands in your pockets all the time you are among a lot of people and in public transport put your bag on your lap and always keep an eye on it.
Last advice is to pretend you aren’t a tourists. Many thieves prey for tourists and if you seem lost they will detect you easily. So, what should you do? First, analyze where you will go during the day and how you will go. In this way, if you are sure about the way you are walking and don’t need to stop several times to check the map there are less chances you will be detected as a tourists. Besides, if you carefully plan the route you will use, you will be able to avoid the most dangerous zones and neighborhoods.

Places and regions that you should avoid

Barra da Tijuca is the most luxurious neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro and crime here is practically non-existent. Regarding favelas there isn’t any nearby so, this is a plus too.
There just could be some pocketpickers, so always stay alert. But in general, this city doesn’t get too crowded so, you won’t have problems in this aspect. You can even go for a walk at night, as long as you stay in the most touristic areas, and nothing will happen to you.

Scams that you should be aware of

If you are on the field, you most likely already know these common scams but in the case you are new to this, you should read a bit about them, so you are aware and can prevent falling on them.

Getting you drug

You may think, “I don’t take drugs so, it’s impossible that I fall for this”. But thieves can achieve it in several ways, let’s give some examples. A friendly girl on the street start talking to you and convince you of going for some drinks. She could have taken you to a bar in which the bartender has already put something on the drink or even, the girl puts something when you don’t realize. Then, she asks you to go to your hotel room and when the drug starts making effect you fall asleep and when you wake up, she has already stolen you everything.
There are even cases in which some girls put a drug on their nipples so, when she is having sex with a man, she makes him licks her nipples and so you get doped. There are many ways, the best way to avoid it is not engaging with street workers or trusting random girls who approached you in a friendly way.

Making you pay for unwanted services

Some girls can promise you typical sex-services but when you finish, she tells you that you have to pay more for extra services that she has given you which you consented but hadn’t agreed beforehand. If you want to avoid paying her, an accomplice or lady boy will come and make you pay by force. How to avoid it? It isn’t something that happens very frequently, but normally, this can happen if you hire a street worker.

Cash and dash

There are prostitutes that ask for you to pay in advance, and then she disappears without giving you any service. It can happen more often in Internet. How can I avoid this? If you are hiring someone by internet, use trustable and only hire girls who have a complete profile.

Blackmail

In some cases, girls take you to a place in which there are hidden cameras and have sex with you. Then, she sends you a menace that if you don’t pay certain money, then she will send this content to delicate contacts of yours or make it go viral. So, in this case, you should avoid going to the girl’s place and hiring a room in a motel instead.
It can also happen that you are having virtual sex with a girl, and she starts to ask you to send pictures. Be careful if you do it and try that your face, tattoos, or furniture of your house isn’t displayed on those photos.

Kiddnapping or theft

This one is more obvious, but you should always avoid going to the places proposed by a girl, she could be taking you to a dangerous house where a group is waiting for you or even getting into a car you didn’t call for, it could be a false Uber or taxi.

As we said, there are several possibilities, so we recommend you to read these forums. Here you will find information about more general scams, but you can also access to certain locations.
