Los Angeles Sex Guide (LA Sex Guide) advises where to find sex, working girls, prostitution, street hookers, brothels, red-light districts, sex shops, prostitutes, erotic massage parlors, strip clubs and escorts in Los Angeles, California.

Los Angeles (also known simply as L.A., and nicknamed the "City of Angels") is the most populous city in California. Located on a broad basin in Southern California, the city is surrounded by vast mountain ranges, valleys, forests, the Pacific Ocean, and nearby desert.

Sex and Prostitution in Los Angeles

Travel Warning WikiSexGuide Does Not Support Any Illegal Actions.

Prostitution is illegal in the vast majority of the United States, except some rural counties within the state of Nevada. Due to a US law FOSTA/SESTA, WikiSexGuide doesn't publish any ESCORT, MASSAGE or BROTHEL ads in the United States.

California prostitution law under Penal Code 647(b) PC prohibits engaging in the act of prostitution, and offering (this is also known as "solicitation") or agreeing to engage in the act of prostitution.

LAPD and prosecutors are trying to crack down on prostitution. But now days they have a new mindset. They are targeting johns and pimps more often and with harsher penalties, but aiming to treat the women as victims of sex trafficking who need counseling and a way off the streets more than a night in jail. Keep your eyes open if you are dealing with the prostitutes.

Escorts in Los Angeles are in high demand, especially from businessmen and tourists who are only going to be in Los Angeles for a while. Most tourists in Los Angeles like to go clubbing and often also have sex with prostitutes. Escorts in Los Angeles can be found working on the street, strip clubs, through websites, escort agencies or newspapers.

Los Angeles Female Escorts

There are thousands of female escorts in Los Angeles. Some of them are normal priced but you can also find Los Angeles high-class independent escorts who ask thousands of dollars per night. Escort business in LA is so deeply rooted in the city that it has become part of Los Angeles culture. There are also many escort agencies all over Los Angeles offering specials such as well known porn stars or B-list celebs. In general independent escorts in LA charge US$150-250 per hour and escort agencies charge a little more.

LA Districts

For travel purposes, this guide covers the entirety of Los Angeles County, a region of thousands of square miles in Southern California roughly the same size as Rhode Island. There are 88 cities (municipalities) in the county; the largest, the city of Los Angeles, spreads throughout the county.

The regions of Los Angeles County

Central Los Angeles

Downtown LA
The central business district of Los Angeles and home to the Grand Avenue cultural corridor. The advent of the automobile and freeways led to the neighborhood's slow decline, but it has seen a booming revival in recent years, led by new residential buildings, trendy hotels, bars, shops and restaurants.
Eastside
Just east of downtown and the Hispanic center of Los Angeles.
Hollywood
The place where the life of movies from the past to the present come out and also where movies are made and shown to the public.

If you want to see famous actors and singers, then this is the place for you.
Northwest LA
A funkier area north of downtown and east of Hollywood that is rapidly gentrifying. Home to Griffith Park above Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, MacArthur Park, and Echo Park, along with Dodgers Stadium.
South Central LA
South Central has long had a reputation for gang violence and is the infamous site of the Rodney King riots, though it's mellowed significantly in the years since. While it remains off most people's radar, there are things to see, such as the museums of Exposition Park, and Watt's Towers, and the Space Shuttle Endeavor, which now lives at the CA Science Center.
Wilshire
Home of the historic architecture of the Miracle Mile District, the Farmer's Market and The Grove shopping areas, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, CBS Television City, and the famous La Brea Tar Pits.

Los Angeles County regions

Santa Clarita Valley
A region far to the north of Los Angeles proper.
South Bay
The beachfront communities of the county south of LAX and the launching point for trips to Catalina Island.
West Side
The affluent area of Los Angeles where the elite of the entertainment industry reside. Home to many upscale communities such as Bel-Air, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, West Hollywood, the high-end shopping of Beverly Hills, and the popular beach town of Santa Monica.

Red Light Districts

Today the most of the prostitution business in LA happens online as sex workers have moved working indoors from the streets. However there are still some old-school prostitutes and some people say that un-official Red-light district in Los Angeles is located Fig from king to imperial and western from Adams to Florence and sunset from western to normandie and western from Santa Monica to 3rd sepulveda from Burbank o Roscoe.

How to spot a prostitute in the wild?

  • Big hair. Poofed, teased, coiffed and groomed for maximum plumage attraction.
  • Too hot to be alone. If she's drop-dead gorgeous and is still flying solo at 3am, you may have spotted a lady of the evening.
  • Reavealing & shiny/sparkly clothing(of both cleavage and leg variety). Nothing wrong with showing off the wares a little.
  • High heels. Many ladies of negotiable affection bump up their height a few inches with eye-catching platforms or sky-high heels in arresting colors.

Street Hookers

Female prostitutes are roaming the Los Angeles streets. A handful of main drags in the city are plagued by prostitutes walking the streets at all hours, and men cruising for them with little regard for the legality or impact on the community. Remember that many times the Los Angeles street prostitutes are drug users.

  • You can find streetwalkers from Kaiser Hollywood on Sunset Bl near Vermont Ave, in the evenings across the street from the hospital (south side).
  • Other street prostitution areas are Santa Monica Bl in Hollywood and WeHo if you're looking for gay prostitutes, Sunset Bl for a wide variety. It depends on if the cops have been doing their job lately or not.
  • Streetwalkers in L.A mostly hang around in dangerous neighborhoods filled with cops and pimps, they're having sex in the back seats of their car or going to the world's worst motel. Some of clients get robbed and/or arrested. All for 10-15 minutes of quick sex, so you should really consider if you want to take a risk.
  • In the parking lot of the Denny's on Sunset at the 101. About 2-3 in the morning. There might be shemales (transsexual prostitutes) as well.
  • Sometimes you can spot street walkers in Los Angeles outside of different strip clubs.

Price for getting CBJ is $40, sometimes you can get a BBBJ for same price. Full service cost $60 to $80.

Gay nightlife in LA might seem like it's separated into two distinct areas -- WeHo on one side and Silver Lake on the other -- but the truth is, plenty of queer and queer-loving crowds hit both, thanks to promoters offering parties on both sides of LA.

Cliches about the Westside being superficial and too twinky/queeny, or the East being all inked-up bear types, might be valid some nights, but there's so much going on today, and so much cross-pollination of preferences, that the generalities don't hold up so much anymore. There are tons of fun, gay, bi, polysexual parties that happen all over LA (Mr. Black and Tigerheat in Hollywood, A Club Called Rhonda and Mustache Mondays downtown). There is not much difference between a gay "club" and gay "bar" in Los Angeles. After all, dancing, drinking and cruising goes down at both.

Sleeping and Girl Friendly Hotels

It's hard to summarize the plethora of hotel options in L.A. From some of the most opulent (and expensive) hotels in the world to budget hostels to apartment-hotel crash pads, there's something for everyone. Deciding where to stay will have a lot to do with what areas you plan on visiting, and how you're going to get there. As usual in Southern California, a car opens up a world of options, but be sure to check the parking arrangement at your accommodations before you arrive.

The first big decision is whether to stay inside or outside of the City of Los Angeles. Hollywood is probably the most popular option for those wanting to sightsee and chase their image of that world. Downtown has long been popular with the business crowd but is rapidly receiving a makeover with hotels like The Standard [1] bringing a hipper crowd. Beverly Hills has some of the nicest hotels in the Southland, but expect the prices to reflect its reputation.

Sun and sand seekers can head to Santa Monica, Venice, or the Beach Cities to the south of LAX. Those just in town for a day or two might consider staying on the Westside near LAX airport. Pasadena to the northeast of LA is a peaceful and leafy city and a good alternative.

Chinese tourists often stay in the San Gabriel Valley suburbs to the east of Los Angeles, as those cities are more convenient as a base for visiting the factory outlet centres to the east (Desert Hills) and south (Orange and Carlsbad) and offer a broader range of Chinese cuisine than what is available in Chinatown in Los Angeles.

Stay Safe

Most tourist destinations around the Southland tend to be fairly safe, such as Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Westwood, and West L.A. However, walking at night in some areas of the city (and some suburban cities as well) should be conducted with caution; and depending on the area, in groups. If traveling by car there is little threat of being harassed day or night, provided you avoid driving around neighborhoods with blatant signs of gang activity as mentioned below.

Certain areas in or near downtown, such as Skid Row (which is where the main Greyhound station is located), Pico-Union, Westlake, Boyle Heights, and South Central, can be dangerous regardless of the time of day and should be avoided altogether when walking if possible. If traveling in the San Fernando Valley region of the City of Los Angeles, the neighborhoods of Pacoima, Panorama City, Arleta, Van Nuys, Canoga Park, North Hills, North Hollywood (northern half), and Northridge (southern half) are also best avoided on foot.

Though cities such as Detroit, St. Louis, and Atlanta have higher reported crime rates per capita than Los Angeles, these numbers can be deceiving. L.A. statistics are skewed because the city has a humongous amount of geographic area so the safe neighborhoods such as Bel Air, Pacific Palisades, Westwood and many others balance the numbers from the extremely dangerous neighborhoods. If the South Central area of Los Angeles were counted as its own city, it would have the highest crime and murder rate of any city in America. Neighboring Compton, an independent city, currently ranks as the fourth most dangerous city in America. Luckily for Los Angeles, Compton's statistics are not counted as part of L.A.'s crime data but instead counted separately, yet the two cities border each other. As a general rule, you should exercise extreme caution if walking or driving on surface streets in the area roughly bounded by Interstate 10 on the north, Interstate 710 on the east, Artesia Blvd/Highway 91 on the south, and La Cienega Boulevard on the west.

Both the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles, unfortunately, have a high rate of gang violence and crime. However, gangs generally confine themselves to certain areas and should be of little concern to the typical traveler, who is unlikely to venture into such areas. Gangs will usually identify their territory with graffiti markings. While most visitors to L.A. will not visit neighborhoods where gang violence is a concern, common-sense precautions apply should you become lost and end up in a bad neighborhood: remain on high-visibility roads or freeways, avoid confrontations with groups of young men, and should a confrontation arise flee immediately. If a person who appears to be a gang member asks "where are you from," prepare to immediately flee, seek cover, or defend yourself. That phrase is a common gang challenge and frequently implies imminent attack. (In a 2008 L.A. Times Op-Ed article, LAPD Chief of Detectives Charlie Beck explained that "it is the last question many young men in Los Angeles hear.") Use common sense on freeways to avoid incidents of road rage, which accounts for tens of deaths per year.

Most homeless individuals are harmless; they will likely only ask you for money and if you refuse, will simply go on to the next person. They are most heavily concentrated near downtown, Skid Row, and Hollywood. Avoid walking along Skid Row near Downtown at any time of day or night.

In the unlikely event of a major earthquake, duck and cover and stay where you are during the shaking, then go outside once the shaking stops. Most structures built after 1950 are unlikely to collapse. Your largest threats come from breaking windows and flying objects such as ceiling tiles and bookshelves. Try to get under a table, desk, or doorjam to reduce exposure to such threats. You are more likely to be injured if you try to run during the shaking.
