Has Costa Rica lost its edge, its place a sex destination? Have we been slipping? Could it all have been lies? Was it that because CRS took a hiatus for a few years? Tell me it can’t be.<\/p>\n

A recent article in Pressroomvip.com<\/a> listing the “5 Sex Tourism Destinations That Can Make Your Wildest Dreams Come True<\/strong>“, Costa Rica does not make the cut.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long ago that Costa Rica was at the top of its game (bottom, depends from your points of view) when it came to be tops for sex. Now, it can’t even make a top 5 list?<\/p>\n

Just to play along, here is the Pressroomvip.com list, in reverse order:<\/p>\n

5. Thailand<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you\u2019re not surprised that Thailand is on the list. It\u2019s actually the #1 legal sex tourism spot. Many Thai people believe that prostitution is a necessary part of their culture. And because of that, there are more than three million sex workers in Thailand. A vast majority of their sex workers are \u2018ladyboys\u2019, which I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve seen in Hangover 3<\/em> when the guys journeyed through Bangkok. And sadly, there are a lot of minor workers, too.<\/p>\n

4. Brazil<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brazil is known for its gorgeous, exotic women, beautiful beaches and boisterous carnivals. But the women are the real ticket to the country\u2019s thriving sex tourism and trafficking business. It\u2019s legal, and the country supports it.<\/p>\n

Back in 2014, the government provided free English, Spanish and German lessons to their native workers to help them chat with potential clients in town for the World Cup. They also launched the \u2018I am happy being a prostitute\u2019 campaign to promote safe sex and the brighter side to prostitution.<\/p>\n

3. Colombia<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Even though Colombia is known for its infamous drug lords, it\u2019s also a hot spot for sex tourism. It\u2019s been said that one of the reasons Colombia\u2019s sex tourism became so widely known is because many Colombian sex workers will lower their prices if the customer is attractive.<\/p>\n

2. Amsterdam<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

World famous for its legalization and well-regulation of prostitution, Amsterdam is one of the world\u2019s sex tourism capitals. It\u2019s notorious red-light district, De Wallen, is the largest and most famous red-light district in the city that caters to every kind of fetish and offers safe sexual relations.<\/p>\n

And number 1, drum roll please…<\/p>\n

1. Dominican Republic<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

There are anywhere between 60,000 to 100,000 women working in the DR sex trade. Prostitution isn\u2019t illegal in the DR, but having intercourse with a minor is \u2014 and there are many minors who work as sex workers. One of the reasons sex tourism is so popular here is because of its near location to the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
