EXTRACT FOR
Prostitution in Macau
(Rockit Reports)

Macau is considered a "Special Administrative Region" by China. Since the turn of the century, Macau has officially been a part of the People's Republic of China while maintaining its own government and laws to some degree. This is a part of the "one country, two systems" policy that was also applied to Hong Kong next door. 



Men who have visited the Special Administrative Region of Macau at some point or even read the reviews of Macau saunas will have no trouble understanding why the place is often referred to as a male paradise. 



The sale of sexual services in legal in Macau, which is precisely why there are so many high quality, sanitary, well-organized and generally safe options available. Sex workers in Macau have access to free health services, and in 2012 Vicky Lei Wai Kei from the Health Bureau of Macau said  that "no HIV positive case was found among the women" she had access to, even those tended to be on the lower and less expensive end of the spectrum. That's a pool of many women with no signs of disease or distress.



Although the Macau SAR is quite small and compact there are numerous facilities around for guys looking for sexual services. Unlike other places such as Japan and South Korea, the scene in Macau is totally open to foreign visitors and there's no real barrier for those who don't speak the local language even if there is some prejudice on the basis of skin color though. This book will explain the ins and out of the commercial sex industry in Macau. 



Sex saunas are the biggest and most well known sex establishments in Macau. They offer everything from showers with a bit of oral performed by nineteen-year-old year old beauties to ear cleanings, dick and ball massages, and of course full sexual service with beautiful women from around the world. 



Customers can typically spend as much time as they'd like in these saunas, up to a full twenty four hours. It's quite normal for customers to take in some sleep with a heaping helping of the free food and drink on offer over a day. Rates vary depending on the place, the services and the level of the girls a customers choose but it's usual for customers to drop the equivalent of between 250 and 800 US dollars for several hours of eating, relaxing and having sex. Several of these saunas will be described in detail later in this book. 



Fishbowl massage parlors in Macau operate a lot like they do at places like Honey Massage in Pattaya, Thailand. That said, the level of service is often higher in Macau. The best known fishbowl massage parlor in Macau is undoubtedly Darling 1. It's moved around a few times recently but for the last several years it has maintained the same location. Unlike the saunas the action at the fishbowl massage parlors is more to the point. Customers walk in, chose one or more of the ladies from the extensive line up of beautiful women, and then head to a private room where they get bath play followed by oral full service sex.



There are also many working women in Macau who prowl the casinos in search of customers. These gals are usually Chinese and they usually prefer Chinese and other Asian customers. Some walked the famous "race track" at the Lisboa casino until that was halted a few years ago by authorities. Casino prostitutes tend to charge high rates and offer little in terms of services. They often refuse customers who are not Chinese. 



A number of freelance working women can be found in bars and discos around Macau. They range in nationality though many are from the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Some work at saunas and are just looking for some fun or extra money on the side. Others specialize in this sort of freelance action. They tend to charge high rates but some customers say they are most likely to provide "the girlfriend experience".



There are also some brothels in Macau. They are very straight forward "point and poke" places where customers walk in, select a woman, and have sex in a private room. Perhaps the well known would be Hou Va, where a short romp with one of the women on staff goes for a lot less than it does at sauna or even a place like Darling 1. Hou Va is described in detail later.



As with almost everywhere else in the world, there are plenty of escorts in Macau too. Most of them seem to find their customers online. They advertise on websites and through apps like Wechat. They typically work out of private flats or hotel rooms. Rates can range from the very high to the surprisingly inexpensive. 



The US government has put Macau on a watch list for "human trafficking." Do people come to Macau for work? Absolutely. Does some of it involve sex? You better believe it. Why that's different than going there to work as a card dealer in a casino I guess depends on your perspective. Are people forced into the work? I don't think so. They are definitely motivated by financial reasons, recruiters and family but I'm sure that's true of any overseas employment. I've talked to dozens of ladies working in saunas and fishbowls in Macau, many times outside of their places of employment and well beyond earshot of their employers. I've even become friends with some of them and stayed in contact long after they returned to their home countries. None have ever told me they were forced into anything, even when I brought the subject up. Since "human trafficking" is the favorite buzzword of the movement to criminalize all sex work I take reports like the one out of the State Department with a grain of salt.



In any event, I don't advocate that anyone do anything. I'm just stating the facts and trying to provide a little adult entertainment in the form of the written word.
