It turns out that some people are looking for destinations where they can enjoy unrestricted sex – not necessarily with their partners – while planning a trip.
Some people see sexual interactions while travelling as a means to make their trip more enjoyable. To top it off, the sex tourism sector is worth billions, with millions of legal and illicit sex workers spread around the globe.
Here are ten of the world’s most popular sex tourism destinations:
Germany:
Prostitution, including street prostitution, is a well-established and well-organized industry in Germany, and it is entirely legal. Sexual tourism has a long history in the country, with organised prostitution reaching back to the 1200s AD. In Germany, people willingly enter the flesh trade, and there are adverts and job offers through HR firms. Frauenhäuser (“women’s houses”) have long been a part of German history, and they were viewed as sites that served to deter larger crimes by providing their services. The tradition continues to this day.
Dominican Republic:
Legal brothels, marriage parlours, and prostitutes are openly walking around in many of the downtown sections of Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata for visitors to the Dominican Republic. In terms of countries sending substantial numbers of sex workers, the Dominican Republic ranks fourth.
Spain:
Party locations in Spain, such as Madrid, Ibiza, and Barcelona, have become popular sex tourism destinations due to their vibrant club and bar scenes. The red light district is a street with a lot of red lights.
Malaysia:
Despite the fact that prostitution is banned in Malaysia, it is nonetheless commonly practised and services are readily available. Penang, Kuala Lumpur, and Ipoh are among the most popular destinations. The majority of sex workers are brought in from neighbouring nations such as China.
Kenya:
Kenya is one of the easiest nations to visit in Africa, yet it also has one of the greatest sex tourism industries on the continent. Despite the high prevalence of STDs and HIV, the country does not discourage the practice. Kenya, it turns out, is a popular destination for elderly white ladies looking to ‘purchase’ some time with a male. Tourists ready to pay highly for sex in secluded areas lure children into prostitution.
Brazil:
Although prostitution is allowed in Brazil, operating a brothel or employing sex workers in any other way is prohibited. Despite this, cities are teeming with brothels where prostitutes engage in sexual acts.
Colombia:
Colombian women are frequently regarded as among the most attractive in the world, which may be one reason why sex tourism has flourished in the country. While sex trading is totally legal in this country, the government is working to reduce unlawful activities such as child prostitution.
The Netherlands:
Netherlands is frequently regarded as one of the world’s most popular sex tourism locations. Prostitution is legal and regulated, and Amsterdam’s De Wallen is the city’s largest and most famous red-light district, as well as a popular worldwide sex tourism destination.
The Philippines:
The Philippines has a large domestic sector, with an estimated 800,000 men, women, and children employed in it. The ‘girlie’ clubs that were widespread during World War II are thought to have shaped the country’s international image as a sex destination.
Thailand:
The industry is said to have started during the Vietnam War and is now a legal profession in the country, with over three million sex workers making a living.
