Sex Scene and Prostitution
Places like Ibiza , Madrid, and Barcelona have long been major sex tourism and all-night clubbing destinations in Europe. Spain continues to attract visitors interested in sex tourism, and remains one of Europe's best-known destinations for adult entertainment.
In Madrid, adult entertainment is spread throughout the city rather than concentrated in a single red-light district. The best-known areas include Gran Vía, Montera Street and Chueca, each offering a different mix of street prostitution, escort services, strip clubs, erotic massage venues and LGBT nightlife. In Barcelona, the traditional red-light district around El Raval and La Rambla has long been well known among tourists.
Prostitution is kind of legal in Spain. The truth is that prostitution exists in a legal vacuum. Sex workers are generally not penalized, while profiting from the prostitution of others is subject to criminal law. With around 30% of prostitutes in Spain once reported to be illegal immigrants (many coming from South America), often brought into Spain through human trafficking networks, the circumstances of many prostitutes have remained legally and socially complex.
Brothels have been illegal since 1956, but the vast majority operate disguised as whiskerías, Hotels ("Hostals"), or 'clubs' and are left to function as normal. Some are registered as hotel businesses. It's entirely possible that originally they were built with the intention of being hotels. Possibly some went bankrupt, only to re-emerge as discreet brothels. They typically have an unremarkable entrance with a small bell to ring. After a short wait the door is opened electronically. You then walk up carpeted stairs into softly lit surroundings resembling a nightclub entrance. At the top a Madam will usually greet you and escort you into a lounge or one of the bedrooms.
You then get to choose a woman, who one by one will enter the room, introduce herself, kiss you on the cheeks and then leave. At the end the Madam will reappear and you tell her which girl you want. Of course you can reject all of them and leave. Reports suggest that this system remains common at some of Spain's better-known brothels.
It seems that these multi-storey brothels started reappearing after the financial crisis of 2008-2009. Spain was particularly hard hit, with unemployment reaching around 25%. In this difficult socio-economic situation, some observers believe local enforcement became more tolerant of existing establishments, allowing privately operated brothels to expand in several larger cities.
Reports suggest that these brothels are regularly checked by police to ensure there are no minors, trafficking victims or other serious criminal offences. Operators generally have a strong incentive to comply because even the suspicion of abuse may result in closure.
Having police inspections and internal security, many women reportedly consider these establishments relatively safe places to work. In return, a significant proportion of their earnings usually goes to the brothel to cover accommodation, cleaning, staff and operating costs. For example, a girl in Valencia working at Even Once may receive around €60 for a half-hour booking, with roughly half reportedly retained by the establishment. Visitors often leave a tip for particularly good service.
Every city usually has one to four higher-end brothels. Prices typically range from €120 to €150 per hour, or roughly half that for thirty minutes. There are also smaller brothels with fewer women and more basic facilities, where prices commonly range from around €60 to €80 per hour. Examples of both types can be found in cities including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Seville, Málaga and Alicante.
Prostitutes were once able to advertise freely in the "Relax" sections of newspapers and magazines using discreet wording. Newspaper advertising has largely disappeared, with most independent escorts and agencies now advertising online instead. Reports about human trafficking and sexual exploitation continue to influence political debate in Spain, and proposals to reform prostitution laws periodically reappear.
Today, most large Spanish cities have excellent local independent escort websites, often listing hundreds of available women. Visitors looking for local information should also see the city guides for Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Gran Vía, Montera Street and Chueca.

Erotic Massage Parlors
Erotic massage salons are very popular in Spain. There is usually a big difference in the treatments of tourists versus locals in Spain. Usually tourists pay more and will get worse service than locals. Of course there are parlors which are intended mostly for tourists and they might still have a great service. Now days internet is very powerful tool for these kind of businesses. If a spa will get tons of bad reviews, their business will drop down. However, if you are a tourist, you should try these few tricks to get better service and lower prices:
- Learn at least few phrases of Spanish.
- Try to act cool and make them feel that you are living in Spain because of work etc. You can imagine that you will get way more better service if the spa staff and masseuses think that you might be coming there again as a paying customer.
- Be polite and confident. Usually cheeky or arrogant people don't receive good service.
- You can try to get them/her feel that if you will be very satisfied about the massage, you will tip them/her. Well, it's not a bad thing to tip anyway if you will receive excellent service.
- Try to make new local friends and ask them where the local men go to have special massages. Most places where local people go are a lot better than tourist traps.

The rights of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender (LGBT) persons in Spain have undergone several dramatic changes in recent decades. Today Spain provides one of the highest degrees of liberty in the world for its LGBT community. However, this was not the case for much of Spain's history. The evolution from the Roman sexuality, where the sexual act and power relationships engendered were more important, to the modern concept of homosexuality as a type of sexuality and even lifestyle, was determined and modified by many factors. One of the main ones has been the influence of Christianity, which characterized sexuality as an act whose only goal was procreation, so that the other sexual activities were seen as sinful and contrary to God's wishes. This would be reflected in the legislation of the time, where sodomy was identified with State treason and punished harshly with death by fire. The turnabout point was marked by the Enlightenment, when individual liberties started gaining importance, to the point that in 1822 sodomy was taken out of the Spanish criminal code and effectively legalised. The slow and hard ongoing process toward acceptance of homosexuality was suddenly interrupted by the Spanish Civil War and Francisco Franco's regime, which precipitated a strong repression of the LGBT community in Spain. When the regime ended, the process resumed, although homophobia was strong.
Today, Spain is one of the eleven countries around the world that allows same-sex marriage and has the most progressive laws, since they also permit adoption by same-sex couples. Spanish LGBT culture has been exported internationally with film directors such as Pedro Almodóvar and events like the Europride celebrated in Madrid in 2007. Visibility of homosexuals has reached several layers of society that were previously unthinkable, such as the army, Guardia Civil, judges or priests, although in other areas like football there is still a way to go.
Despite being a Catholic majority country, homosexuality is quite tolerated in Spain and public display of same-sex affection would not likely stir hostility. In fact, same-sex marriages are legal and recognized by the government and provide legal benefits to same-sex couples. However, a gay friendly country does not always necessarily mean that the Spaniards are friendly to gays: (people in places like Madrid or Barcelona, which are 2 of the largest urban areas in Europe, will obviously have a more open view than those from rural areas). As in any other place, elderly people do usually have far more conservative points of view. Still, violence against gays is rarely heard of and Spain should be safe for most gay and lesbian travelers.

Dating
Dating in Spain can be a bit tricky due to cultural differences, so your best bet is to sign up for a dating site before your trip so you can meet a few locals ahead of time. AdultFriendFinder.com, for example, lets you meet local members in Spain and get to know them on a personal basis before you arrive. Take advantage of features like live chat rooms and member webcams so you know who you are chatting with before arranging a face-to-face meeting. Since time in your destination may be limited, get to know each other’s desires beforehand so when you do meet, you can skip the awkward introductions and start having some real fun.
Transsexuals and Shemales
Lots of transsexual escorts are working in Spain, especially on high season when the tourists arrive to Spanish travel destinations.
Sexual Services for Women
Women can find lots of locals and tourist guys to have sexual relationships. Also hot latin male escorts are advertising their services online.
Sleeping and Girl Friendly Hotels
Make sure before booking a hotel that is it OK to bring guests to your room. This releases you having awkward situations on the reception if you'll have some company.

Stay Safe
In Spain, pickpockets are not jailed if they steal less than €400. After they are arrested, they are automatically bailed to carry on pickpocketing so they can easily pay their €200 fine when they go to court. Many have been around the Spanish justice merry-go-round hundreds of times. Spanish pickpockets are really skillful but they are in competition with many more from South America.
Scams
Some people could try to take advantage of your ignorance of local customs.
- In Spanish cities, all taxis should have a visible fare table. Do not agree a fixed price to go from an airport to a city: in most cases, the taxi driver will be earning more money than without a preagreed tariff. Many taxi drivers will also demand a tip from foreign customers or even from national ones on the way to and from the airport. You might round up to the nearest euro when paying though.
- In many places of Madrid, especially near Atocha station, and also in the Ramblas of Barcelona, there are people ('trileros') who play the "shell game". They will "fish" you if you play, and they will most likely pick your pocket if you stop to see other people play.
- Before paying the bill in bars and restaurants, always check the bill and carefully scrutinize it. Some staff will often attempt to squeeze a few extra euros out of unsuspecting tourists by charging for things they did not eat or drink, or simply overcharging. This is true in both touristy and non-touristy areas. If you feel overcharged, bring it to their attention and/or ask to see a menu. It is also sometimes written (in English only) at the bottom of a bill that a tip is not included: remember that tipping is optional in Spain and Spanish people commonly leave loose change only and no more than a 5%-8% of the price of what they have consumed (not an American-style 15-20%), so avoid being fooled into leaving more than you have to.
- Many tourists have reported lottery scams whereby they are contacted via the Internet or fax and informed that they have won a substantial prize in the Spanish lottery (El Gordo), when in fact they have never participated in the lottery. They are asked to deposit an amount of money in a bank account to pay taxes and other fees before collecting the prize or coming to Spain to close the transaction.
- There have also been reports of a scam whereby a person is informed that he or she is the recipient of a large inheritance, and that funds must be deposited into a Spanish bank account so the inheritance can be processed.
- In another common scam, some tourists have received a bogus email purportedly sent from an individual well known to them and claiming that he or she is in trouble and needs funds.
