“I’ve got hoes, I’ve got hoes in different area, area codes… I bang cock in Bangkok. Can’t stop, I turn and hit the same spot, think I’m the Thrilla in Manila, schlong in Hong Kong..”
Sound familiar? This is Ludacris’ Area Codes and it’s the first thing that came to my mind when I thought “...traveling for sex is a thing and I’ve been missing out.”
I have been VERY lucky and able to travel a lot in the last decade. Honestly, now I’m very disappointed at the fact that SEX tourism hadn’t crossed my mind until I started researching kinks in different countries. Yes, with the help of dating apps, casual sex, threesomes and, random kinky evenings are always literally a few legal clicks away.
But that’s not really sex tourism as much as sex-as-a-tourist.
However, how many countries have you fucked in so far? Do you need more than one hand to count? Hopefully, both aren’t enough!
People know certain cities are special for a particular kink (or two, or more than a few) and people are willing to travel to indulge in them. Not surprisingly (and according to Wikipedia), sex tourism is a multi-billion dollar industry that globally supports a workforce estimated in the millions, directly benefiting service industries such as the airline, taxi, restaurant, and hotel industries.
These are a few (in no specific order):

Sex tourism isn’t necessarily black and white in terms of legality. Always inform yourself because there are places where the sex worker might be breaking the law and sometimes it’s the client- YOU. SEX TOURISM CAN BE EXPLOITATIVE AND CREATES A MARKET FOR HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND SLAVERY. This is not what I wrote about today but I acknowledge and feel the need to clarify that I only included countries where prostitution is legal but, because it’s become easier to travel, sex tourism is becoming increasingly popular everywhere.
One thing I’ve learned while traveling is that US dollars (and other strong currencies) give us a sort of power and responsibility in the world. We can make a huge difference in someone’s life for less than what we would pay for a week of groceries. Many sex workers don’t have many options but have great responsibilities. Many are trying to provide food and education to the next generation BUT many are victims of an industry that profits from human trafficking and slavery. Think about who you’re giving your money to and what you’re doing with your power when you pay for sex.
The places on this list are incredible and worth visiting regardless of whether you’re traveling for sex. The natural beauty of these exotic countries is more than enough to warrant them being on your travel list. That said, if you’re looking to have some erotic fun but have little red-light-district experience, these places are a great place to start. The fact that the industry is regulated to a certain degree means that you should be careful and mindful (like you should always be when you travel) but feel safe relaxing and having a great time.
