The Price of Sex around the World Mapped
The Prostitution business makes US$186 billion per year. According to Economist, In 2006, the cost for one hour of sex with a female sex worker averaged $340 worldwide. Nowadays, the average rate is down to $260. But how does this billion-dollar industry trickle down to the workers who make it possible?
To find out, the Havocscope team analyzed thousands of profiles of female sex workers on 200 websites, covering 55 countries, from escort directories to agencies and some of the most recognized international sites.
The prices obtained for the visualization aren’t “the standard,” rather the approximate average of prices published in 2019 by the many escorts on the web.
It’s worth mentioning that we are not talking about prostitution in general but independent escorts or legally authorized agencies. These are not prices that you can find in the streets late at night or in the famous red-light districts, so they are much higher than one would think.
To make the task easier, all costs are converted to U.S. dollars and reflect only the costs for 1 hour of service, without including transportation costs or extra services.
How much do escorts charge around the world?
How much do escorts charge in North and Central America?
How much do escorts charge in South America?
How much do escorts charge in Europe?
How much do escorts charge in Africa, Asia, and Oceania?
Prostitution is legal in approximately 52% of the world, limitedly legal in 12% and illegal in 35%.

Wow…..the people who made this had no clue.
The real cost is about $20. High end girls get about $100
I’ve been in prostitute / escort for 8 years of my life now I’m never what I ever do anything for 20$ in fact the cheapest date I do is $100 for a blow n go..
So please no more facts before you stay your opinion that doesn’t even matter anyways ?
I’ve been using prostitute for 12 years, and for $100 I’d be re-arranging organs. With today’s economy and inflation, I’d say $50 is the average. At least in Spain.
Where in Spain? It’s more like 100 in clubs, about double what it was in 2006.
You are re arranging organs wow this is scary
that’s funny and scary
i mean, other people would do it for 20$(maybe they are addicted to drugs?)
Yes. There are poor countries which have such rates. 20$-60$ for half or 1 hour is ok there. You can have love affair with really gorgeous girls for that price. The maps are not precise. Because these prices ( 100- 120-150$) are normal for the United States but not for countries with low economy..
Listen, it depends where are you from. If you from USA or European contries you are all right. Although, for 100 dollars I had good service in the USA. None, is all right. You can get a service for 20 bucks in poor countries such Mexico, Thailand, India and so on so forth. Thats why people travel there.
I charge 400-500AUD/hr in Brisbane Australia, more in Sydney and Melbourne, and more still in Singapore. One hour is minimum booking time. I am average price, not high end. I’m in my 40s and not skinny, no surgery or filler etc, although I do look young for age. High end escorts charge 700-1200/hr and often have 2 hour minimum.
Two hours minimum for a creepy client lol no thanks
what kind of volume do you do though? approximate earnings per day of working? Thanks!
your correct but its a good reference point
Great map! I wish there were more of these. Is there an updated version that filters out countries that are still closed due to COVID19?
I was gonna “like” this, but then I thought my wife might see it!!!!
And by commenting she still might.
Like it anyway. If she doesn’t have a sense of humor….
LOL
The information isn’t precise..because I live in the United States and in this country you pay for 30 minutes 100$ and 120$ for 1 hour if it is Asian service..or 160 for 30 minutes if it’s none asian service. This is one of cheapest prices in the States. 60$ you pay there for 15 minutes if is the Latina American service. In the poor countries you can’t pay for 1 hour 100$ or 150$ dollars. Even the girls is really beautiful it might cost less. The avergae price for poor countries should be for 30 minutes or 1 hour 20$-60$.
It’s all about negotiation guys, a lot of people pay a lot for average service, but if you know how to negotiate and pick the right ones, you’ll have a good deal.
For the workers, sorry about that;)
No wonder this is an american report you people get scamed all the time africa around 5 to 40 for whole night not an hour and you get discount for whole week at least not in clubs im talking about working women no pimp! Dubai 35$ to 700$ …1000$ to 25000$+ for famous models/actors in instagram american and russians most of the time
So, i agree with the poster “None” The person who did this has absolute no fucking clue.
Been to thailand, Colombia and other places multiple times, It’s probably 1/3.
Thai Girls for 1 night is around 1000-1500 baht. There’s gogo bars for 4000 baht with high end girls.
Colombia, easy 15-30 dollars max. High end 70-100. dollars.
Now i don’t know if the User who made this sells or buys, but it’s not accurate, for many countries i’ve been to.
In France it’s bassicly $100 for 30min some girls takes $150 and more. And there is girls who accept $80, $60 and $50 it’s depend of the hour, the personne…
In Ethiopia you can get pussy for 1 dollar
ya! where? I’m asking for research purposes.
Every time this type of post comes out is the same thing, the information is way off and the wishful hookers that chime in with tales of $1500 an hour. Yes, some of the posters are correct about Thailand, Colombia, India etc. You can get laid in the US for about $ 100 average, you get White girls that just because they are skinny and young want to charge a fortune, most of the time the ad disappear very soon.
As for me,I stay at the United States and I’ve been doing hook up for a while and even till now.
Well,I do charge $100 for an hour and it very certain you’ll be happy to pay me because you are even gonna like I’ll I’m gonna handle you
The money isn’t the problem but you should work for it
In india you will get collage teen only in 15 $ and above 28+ you will get in 7 $ and outside of India you will get 75$ per hour also for entire night for 18 to 35 girls is 100-120$
Where? I was in India and it was $75 (rs 6000) for 30 mins, only bj with condom no sex (charged extra for sex) with an ugly girl in a dark room with light shut so I can’t see anything…
Peru 150 the hour, no way! I think they googled in english not in the native language. Even tho I think it would still inflated in almost every country. In Russia where I live now is like 50 dollars 1 hour with a normal/good one from a escort website, Im sure in a brothel would be less. Of course if you wanna find high prices you can find.
this is not true at all, you get sex for 100 € p. hour everywhere in europe
What a load of rubbish.
In Eastern Europe, you can find 18-year-old girls for 20 to 50 euros because there is no economy
On what websites? (and which countries)?
Indian prostitute avg price is 1000rs per hour which is less than $20
Which websites can I find that in?
Supply and demand ! These price are not accurate! Half toa quarter even less! The legal brothels don’t charge these prices! Interesting report!
Speaking about Italy, the starting rate is €50 for “bocca e fica” (blow and fuck). There’s usually a €20 surcharge if you want the blowjob without a condom. You’re expected to conclude your business within half an hour maximum.
For the $230 the map suggests, you *should* get an hour’s GFE with a young and attractive girl (usually East European), although in an unregulated industry there are obviously no guarantees
USA here, I would love to see an update to this data. I’m in a metropolitan area and only the really suspicious escorts charge less than 300 or barely less. Those ones are usually from outside the country. I would say in 2017 the average was 500 but now it’s really increased between 600-900 in 2023. The providers I see are usually over $1k but they do provide me with what I want and also speak my language (English).
Just to be clear, I could find these $300 ladies if I wanted but I would be running to the STD clinic for a checkup right after. Even with protection.
It’s funny because I would say Japan is far cheaper than the US, despite it also being an industrialized nation. Usually you can find very high quality girls for $600.
1K+? Jesus! How often do you get an escort and what’s your salary? If you wanted to get laid once a week that would run you 5.4K monthly (assuming your average conquest is 1.2K). 5.4K id significantly more than the average US citizen makes per month total…to spend over a week’s worth of earnings in one hour…or rather to make that in an hour, these girls are making a killing!
These prices are complete garbage. Prices in Southeast Asia and Africa are under $20.
Really!! On what websites? (and which SE Asian countries)?
This is totally wrong SPAIN IS OVER 60$ FOR SERVICE EVEN LESS
In Cameroon is 2bucks 😂
