Daily Life in Quepos, Costa Rica. | Photo: Sallyricephotos.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUnlike in the “norte” (the U.S. and Canada), in Costa Rica the majority sex social workers (prostitutes) are women looking to supplement their family income, in many cases are heads of households and even support the extended family.

Whatever the case, in Costa Rica, most women use prostitution to feed their families or better themselves and not their drug habit or other nasty addictions.<\/p>\n
It is not unusual for a prostitute in Costa Rica to deny you service.
