Pornography in Latin America

Pornography in Mexico and South America consists of pornography made in Mexico and South America as well as being viewed there. Traditionally the region's culture has been strongly influenced by the Roman Catholic Church which tends to be socially conservative. Pornography in Latin America is now typically legal in countries such as Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Mexico due to their becoming more socially liberal and secular. The viewing of pornography in the region has been popularized by the Internet and DVDs.

By country

Pornography between consenting adults is legal in most of Mexico and South American countries including Colombia[1] and Uruguay.[2]

Mexico

From early on in the 20th Century Mexico was known for producing a lot of films with full female nudity and soft-core pornographic scenes.

Brazil

In Brazil, pornographic film actors must be 18 or older. Pornography which does not involve bestiality is legal when sold in public places. Depiction of sex with animals is legal.[3] However, magazine and DVD covers that depict genitalia must not be visible from public view, and pornography can only be sold to people 18 or older.

Argentina

Argentina is emerging as another source for transsexual porn, with several titles already produced by major American companies (e.g., Anabolic). Argentina is also widely used to shoot pornographic clips straight for the Internet, as well as for photoshoots. Films shot in Argentina typically have the male performers wearing condoms.

Cuba

Pornography was illegal in Cuba during Fidel Castro's regime, however the laws were relaxed in the 2010s.[4]
