Prostitution has been legal in Mexico for a long time, and during this time, in many states, the sex industry has become a common occupation, practiced by entire families and generations. Although some moralists continue to condemn the provision of sex services, most Mexicans and visitors to the country are relaxed about this unconventional way of earning a living. For example, Cancun is recognized as one of the top resorts where you can enjoy adult entertainment in the company of attractive Latin women, as all forms of prostitution are permitted here. Correspondents EASYGIRLS decided to get to know the local sex industry better by seeking information from one of Cancun's most famous prostitutes, 26-year-old Riviera.

Secret details of the sex industry

Not all sex workers openly communicate with journalists, but Riviera is proud of her profession and the fact that she has managed to become so popular in the city. Therefore, she answers tricky questions frankly and without embellishment.

- Tell us a little about how long you have been working as an escort and how you got into this profession.

- I have been working as an escorts in Cancun on Pander for just over 5 years - I was about 20 when a recruiter from one of the local brothels approached me at a disco. Since I had lived in this city all my life, I was well aware of the name and nature of this establishment, so I refused. But for some reason, I didn't throw away the business card, putting it in a secret pocket of my purse. It turned out to be a good thing — two weeks later, the cafe where I was working part-time closed, and I needed money to pay for my apartment.

“And you called the brothel right away?“

”No, of course not. I spent several days visiting nearby cafes and shops looking for work, even asking to work at the market, but they didn't take me. In fact, it was a little over a month after meeting the recruiter before I decided to call. But it wasn't that simple, because Cancun's elite escorts don't take people off the street right away. I went through several interviews, then a short but intense training period, and only then was I allowed to see my first client.

- How did it go?

He was a young man, around 30-35 years old, a foreign businessman who had come to Cancun on business and decided to have some fun before leaving. First, we took a long walk around the city center, then had dinner at a restaurant, and then went to a nightclub, where we partied until late at night. In fact, it was more like a normal date than work, so the sex was pleasant and unburdensome. The only difference was that in the morning, a substantial amount of money was transferred to my agency, part of which was then given to me.

- Did such a successful first experience influence your decision to continue providing sex services in Cancun?

- Of course, I understood that not all clients would be as pleasant to me, but after a successful first time, it really became easier to work. I like the sex profession because it gives me the opportunity to go to cool parties, eat at expensive restaurants, and shop at elite stores. The money I earn is enough not only for housing in a good neighborhood, but also for my studies—a year ago, I enrolled in university and plan to become a lawyer after graduation.

- Do you pay official taxes?

- Of course. Our salon operates legally—all prostitutes hired in Cancun sign employment contracts and pay taxes to the budget. We can even issue a receipt for services rendered — I just don't know who would need such a receipt. You can also work independently, for example, by posting your ad on the website Pander escorts in Merlo section. Many girls in Argentina do this.

- Are you involved in any social activities?

- It's hard to call me an activist, but I am a member of the local union of independent sex workers and have even been to a couple of demonstrations where we demanded that brothels be allowed to open during the quarantine.

- How many of your employees have successfully left prostitution?

- In fact, most escorts in Cancun don't stay in the business for more than 4-5 years. It's like a transit point and an opportunity to earn extra money for a specific purpose. For example, as soon as I finish my studies, I also plan to quit my job, get married, and do what I'm used to doing. No one is forced to stay at our club — all the girls are free to choose how and how much they work.
