Prostitution in Jamaica is illegal but is widely tolerated. There is not a lot of known pimping on the island. Girls normally prostitute themselves from their homes or join men in their hotel rooms or private homes. A lot of the prostitutes dance in adult night clubs and a good percentage of them are from countries like Cuba,Russia,Colombia,Ukraine and Panama.You will find these imported protitutes in the more sophisticated night clubs namely Platinum,Taboo and Pally Royale in Kingston. These clubs attract mainly tourists, foriegn workers, diplomats and local rich men.The other clubs have mostly local prostitutes in which some have regular day jobs.

Gay prostitutes can be found working in hotels as entertainment coordinators.You may, if you are "lucky", find a male prostitute on the streets, they are around but they keep their distances from the public, due to the homophobic nature of the society. There are a few street walkers in the city of Kingston, but in the tourist areas of Montego Bay and Ochio Rios, young girls and guys visit hot spots where tourists hang out,not necesarily to sell themselves, but usually to find a man or woman from a first world country to give them opportunities.Then you know sex will come in the mix and money will be exchanged. Some of these result in long term relationships.

However you have "Private Whores" who have more than one sex partners who they give sexual preferences and in return get apartments, cars and there bills paid every month.

In Jamaica a lot of young people strive for a better life,and so,are pressured to have sex at an early age. Some (especially young girls) have the mind set that they have to go with the flow,so the in thing is to find a rich man or one who can give them opportunities and have him take care of her. Or work in a strip club and get paid for prostituting themselves, thus to buy the latest brand name wears and maybe a house and a car.
