Sex and Prostitution in Vancouver

Vancouver has a lot of prostitution, but and there are plenty of strip clubs, sexy escorts and erotic massage salons to choose from. But the Vancouver is more known as one of the best hookup spots in Canada, nor the sex tourism. Many Hipster people from the upper Northwest of the United States and Canada move to the Vancouver, so you can find plenty of hipster girls from Vancouver who are open for casual sex.

It's now illegal in Canada to communicate for the purpose and purchase sex.

Prostitution in Canada was traditionally legal as there were no laws prohibiting the exchange of sex for money or other consideration. On 20 December 2013, the Supreme Court of Canada found the laws prohibiting brothels, public communication for the purpose of prostitution, and living on the profits of prostitution to be unconstitutional. The ruling gave the Canadian parliament 12 months to rewrite the prostitution laws with a stay of effect so that the current laws remain in force. Amending legislation came into effect on 6 December 2014, which made the purchase of sexual services illegal, along the line of the Swedish Model.

While the prohibition of the activities surrounding the sex trade makes it difficult to practice prostitution without breaking any law, the act of exchanging sex for money has never been illegal in Canada, a situation which has created and continues to create confusion and controversy. The prostitution laws have been largely unchanged since the early 19th century despite frequent commissions, studies and constitutional challenges since the introduction of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.

There is a general agreement that the status quo of prostitution in Canada is problematic, but there is no consensus on what should be done. There is an ideological disagreement between those who want to see prostitution eliminated (prohibitionism), generally because they view it either as an exploitative or unacceptable part of society, and those who view prostitution as a transaction between consenting adults and advocate decriminalisation. The term "sex work" is used interchangeably with "prostitution" in this article, in accordance with the World Health Organisation (WHO 2001; WHO 2005) and the United Nations (UN 2006; UNAIDS 2002). However the Conservative majority Government of Canada is committed to a prohibitionist position, as laid out in its new legislation introduced in 2014.

Vancouver Female Escorts

The way that most adult business is conducted in Vancouver is through the internet. Some escorts have their own websites while others will be found in advertisement websites and classifieds. You can find escorts all over the city, many times offering their services from their residence or hotels. The prices vary from 100 to 300 dollars an hour. Remember that you are paying for time not sex, because it is illegal to communicate for the purpose and purchase sex.

Red Light Districts

Vancouver has one of the biggest red-light districts in all of Canada. It is one of the places where prostitution is legal, but you have a much more than that. You have some of the best nightlife scenes, a multicultular city and the sex industry is growing. You can find anything legal here no matter what it is that you are looking for. The adult shops are large and if nude bars are your thing then you only need to head to one of the many in the city.

You have to remember that Vancouver´s red light area is not like the redlight districts you see in Europe. When most people hear the words "red light district" the first thing that they think is Amsterdam and it´s touristy red light area De Wallen . Red-light district in Vancouver is different in a few things. Advertising of prostitution is illegal, while prostitution is legal. So you should not expect to see sex workers advertising them self behind the windows as you would see in Netherlands or Germany where window prostitution is perfectly legal. Whore houses are also illegal which seems to be contradictory to legal prostitution, but it is done to help ensure that the girls are not exploited. Street prostitution is also illegal, and that is why the Vancouver, even though it has legalized prostitution remains very safe and one where you would not necessarily be able to tell unless you definitely knew.

The way that most sex business is conducted in Vancouver is through the internet. Some sex workers have their own homepage while others will be found in classifieds websites. You can have sex in Vancouver without getting in trouble and remaining safe unlike in some other red light areas. Most of the sex business in Vancouver happens in Kingsway strip, but independent escorts are all over the city, many times offering their services from the hotels or their own flats.

There are now mini red-light districts everywhere in Vancouver, from the upscale West Side to Kingsway all the way to Abbotsford. It is estimated 80 to 90 percent of the sex trade in Vancouver happens at indoor locations. If you pay even a little attention, you will realize it when walking outdoors. Many small massage business on the ground floor of an office building advertises with a simple signs like writing the company name on pink neon and the phone number in yellow. Or with a yellow banner with a more explicit message: "Ultimate Relaxation Service" or a "Sensual Relaxation Massage". For a mere $9,684, an entrepreneur can get a body-rub parlour licence. Or, for $1,145, a social-escort service licence.

Prostitutes and Sex Workers

While prostitution is legal here, advertising it is not. That means that you should not expect the girls to advertise themselves behind the windows. Whore houses are not legal either which seems to be contradictory to legal prostitution, but it is done to help ensure that the girls are not exploited. Selling sexual services in the street is not legal either, and that is why the city, even though it has legalized prostitution remains safe and one where you would not necessarily be able to tell unless you absolutely knew.

Advertising on the internet and in print media is common. Sex workers advertisements are found in the back of The Georgia Strait, a free magazine found in street newspaper boxes throughout the city. Online ads are found on internet.

Many ads use falsified pictures so it is a good idea to check one of the review boards first.

Street Hookers

The number of prostitutes in Vancouver is estimated to be in the thousands, but only 10 to 20 percent of the sex workers are working on the street.

East Hastings (Downtown Eastside) has lots of street walkers, but is not the best street to get lost on as it’s one of the poorest and dirtiest areas in North America and is also full of homeless people, drug addicts and diseases.

The dead center of this zone is the corner of Main and Hastings. Most of the streetwalkers are in this general area, mainly on the streets running east and north of this corner.

Prices are $20-$40 for BJ (CBJ or BBBJ) to $50-$80 for full service. Some junkies and homeless will sell their services even cheaper.

Stay Safe

Vancouver police making an arrest in a DTES alley.

While sex work exists in all cities, one that has received a large amount of publicity is Vancouver due to poor socio-economic conditions in the Downtown Eastside, and the murder of a large number of women working in the sex trade, a disproportionate number of whom were aboriginal. The authorities here have been more tolerant of prostitution leading some people to believe that some forms of prostitution are legal in the city. Body rub parlours may be establishments in which sex work takes place, which would be illegal under bawdy house and communicating laws. Vancouver's milder climate may favour street prostitution. However sex workers and their support services in Vancouver have been very organised and vocal in responding to media criticisms. They have an uneasy relationship with the police. British Columbia has also been the area of Canada where most research has been carried out.

A study was reported as showing that 26% of Vancouver's female sex workers were infected with HIV, and that Vancouver's overall prevalence of HIV was about 1.21%, six times higher than the national rate.
