Sex Scene and Prostitution
Prostitution itself (exchanging sex for money) in Brazil is legal, as there are no laws forbidding adult prostitution. However, it is illegal to operate a brothel or to profit from the prostitution of others. This creates a semi-legal environment where independent sex workers operate legally but organized brothels are technically prohibited.
Brazil has one of the largest and most visible sex industries in South America. Sex work exists in many forms including street prostitution, escort services, nightclub freelancers, erotic massage parlors and independent escorts commonly known in Portuguese as garotas de programa.
Sex tourism is present throughout the country but is particularly visible in coastal resort areas in the Northeast and in major tourist destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Fortaleza, Salvador and Recife. Nightlife districts in these cities attract both local customers and foreign visitors.
Reliable modern estimates of the number of prostitutes are difficult to obtain, but older government and academic studies suggested that Brazil may have close to 1 million sex workers. In 2002 the Brazilian Ministry of Labor officially recognized "sex worker" as a profession, which allows independent workers to contribute to social security and retirement programs.
Brazil is also well known internationally for its large transgender sex industry. Cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo are frequently mentioned in discussions about Top 10 Destinations for Transgender Sex Tourism because of the highly visible transgender nightlife scene and large number of transgender escorts and street workers.
Prostitutes operate in many environments including streets, beaches, bars, nightclubs, highways and tourist districts. Working conditions vary greatly depending on location and economic conditions.
Health risks remain a concern within the sex industry. Some workers may offer bareback services, which increases the risk of STD transmission including HIV. Condom use is strongly recommended when engaging with sex workers.
Brazil Escorts and Escort Services
Independent escort, operate throughout Brazil and are commonly advertised online or through nightlife venues. Escort services are widely available in major cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Fortaleza and Salvador.
Prices vary significantly depending on the city, the appearance of the escort and whether the meeting is arranged privately or through nightlife venues. Encounters may range from around R$200 to R$1000 or more for higher-end escorts in major tourist cities.

Regions
Brazil is the fifth largest country on earth. It is divided into five regions, mainly drawn around state lines, but they also more or less follow natural, economic and cultural borderlines.
| North Manaus |
| Northeast Strong black culture (especially in Bahia) mingles with early Iberic folklore and Indigenous traditions. This is often considered the country's most beautiful coastline, and has the sunniest and hottest climate; but it is also the country's driest and poorest region. |
| Central West The Pantanal wetlands, great farms, young cities, the cerrado and the Federal District, with its otherworldly modernist architecture. Birth place of the "sertanejo" music style. |
| Southeast The cosmopolitan heart of the country. São Paulo and Rio are the largest cities of the country and its economic and industrial hub; there are also some century-old colonial towns, especially in Minas Gerais. |
| South Is a land of valleys and pampas where a strong gaucho culture (shared with Uruguay and Argentina) meets European influences. It has the best standard of living in Brazil with only two large cities (Curitiba and Porto Alegre) and several mid-size cities and rural settlements. Great German, Italian, Polish and Ukrainian took place in the region during the 19th century. |

Street Hookers
Street prostitution is common in most large Brazilian cities, particularly in nightlife districts, beachfront areas and busy urban roads. Street workers may operate independently or circulate between bars and nightclubs looking for horny clients.
Sex prices vary widely depending on the city and neighborhood, but short encounters may start around R$50 to R$200 for street workers, with higher prices in tourist districts.
Street encounters can carry higher risks of robbery, scams or violence compared with meeting escorts through established venues or online escort listings.
Transsexuals and Shemales
Brazil has one of the largest transgender sex industries in the world. Transgender sex workers are highly visible in cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador and Fortaleza. Because of this large and visible scene, Brazil is often mentioned in lists such as Top 10 Destinations for Transgender Sex Tourism.
Transgender workers operate both as escorts and as street workers, particularly in major nightlife districts and along busy urban avenues during late evening hours. Many also advertise independently through online escort platforms and social media.
Sex shops and nightlife districts in major Brazilian cities commonly sell condoms and poppers, which are widely associated with the gay club and transgender nightlife scene.
Transgender Escorts
Transgender escorts in Brazil often charge between R$200 and R$800 depending on the city and the appearance of the worker. High-end escorts in major tourist cities may charge significantly more.
As in other areas of the sex industry, travellers should be aware of health risks. Some trans-sex workers may offer bareback services, which increases the risk of STD infections including HIV. Condom should always be used.
Gay & Lesbian
Due to its high degree of acceptance and tolerance, gay travel is increasingly popular. Brazil hosted the first gay ball in America in 1754! Nowadays the main lesbian and gay destinations are Rio, which was elected the world's sexiest destination twice, São Paulo, which has the world's largest Pride Parade, Florianópolis, which is the hippest gay hangout and Recife which is attracting more and more lesbian and gay tourists looking for fun and sun.

Brazil is open to LGBT tourists. São Paulo boasts the biggest LGBT Pride parade in the world, and most major cities will have gay scenes. However, be aware that homophobia is widespread in Brazilian society, and Brazil is not the sexual haven that many foreigners perceive it to be. Couples that in any way don't conform to traditional heterosexual expectations should expect to be open to some verbal harassment and stares if displaying affection in the streets, though several neighborhoods of many of the major cities are very welcoming of the LGBT population, and LGBT-oriented bars and clubs are common. It is best to gather information from locals as to what areas are more conservative and what areas are more progressive.
Stay safe
By law, everyone must carry a photo ID at all times. For a foreigner, this means your passport. However, the police will mostly be pragmatic and accept a plastified color photocopy.
Even the most patriotic Brazilian would say that the greatest problem the country faces is crime. Brazil is one of the most criminalised countries of the world, therefore the crime rate is high, even for a developing nation. Armed bandits have more recently been attacking schools, hotels and even innocent people in the streets. While in recent years, the overall crime levels are steadily decreasing, Brazil continues to have moderately high crime rates in various aspects, even with a moderate homicide rate (about 28 per 100,000 people). Of significant concern is that policemen may not always provide the best quality of assistance and even be more dangerous than the criminals itself. Lack of man power, low wages and inappropriate training contribute to a lack of professionalism.
The best thing to do is to not act like a tourist, and do not display items of extreme wealth such as laptops, jewelry, etc. Also avoid carrying large amounts of money with you.
Although Brazil is widely known as a country where sex is freely available, it is sometimes misunderstood regarding HIV. Brazil has one of the best HIV prevention programs and consequently, a very low infection rate compared with most countries. Condoms are highly encouraged by governmental campaigns during carnival, and distributed for free by local public medical departments.
In 2003, it was estimated that about 6% of Brazilian prostitutes were infected with HIV. Gabriela Silva Leite, the executive director of Prostitution Civil Rights, says that because of information campaigns, condom use among prostitutes is high.
The Brazilian government turned down $40 million in U.S. anti-HIV/AIDS funding in 2005, because the U.S. government required all recipients to sign an anti-prostitution pledge. The Brazilian anti-AIDS program employs prostitutes to hand out information and free condoms; Brazil's AIDS commissioner Pedro Chequer was quoted as saying "Sex workers are part of implementing our AIDS policy and deciding how to promote it. They are our partners. How could we ask prostitutes to take a position against themselves?" A Washington Post article stated that the Brazilian anti-AIDS program is considered by the United Nations to be the most successful in the developing world.
