Prostitution is not a crime in Brazil and there is a tolerance among the population of Natal. “Garotas de Programa” is the way the Brazilian call the women who sell sex but do not expose themselves on the streets. They can be found in web sites where they advertise their pictures, prices etc. There are also women who do not call themselves prostitutes but meet men in discos and night clubs for a night of drinks, good food and fun. These women do not charge you any money but would accept any gift as romantic gesture of you.
