Overview
Prostitution in Costa Rica is both abundant and legal. Unlike the US where the government decides career choices for it's citizens rather than letting the citizens decide for themselves, the Costa Rican ladies are free to offer their services of sex without the government poking their noses into their bedroom windows to see what they are up to. While many women in the US and other countries become sex workers because of drug and alcohol addictions, rarely is that the case in Costa Rica (with the exception of the streetwalkers). Most ladies of the night in Costa Rica are there to better their economic situations and care for their families. Some will work only a few days per month, while others make it a career choice. You will find women from Nicaragua, Argentina, Venezuela, Columbia, Dominican Republic and even Nevada working the streets and, bars and clubs of San Jose. Light skin, dark skin and everything in between. There are 4 sources of women: escort services, bars, adult night clubs, and massage parlors.
What to expect
Generally, the ladies of the night are very professional which means you get right down to business when they come to your room and once paid, they are out the door. You won't find the affection and attention you get from, for example, the bar girls of the Philippines who appear more interested in love and romance than money. The Costa Rican women are passionate in bed and will put on a fairly good performance. Most if not all will insist on condom usage, which is a good idea. Don't expect to fall in love or find a girlfriend or wife out of the bar girls. You will not find a bustling nightlife like you would in Bangkok, but there are enough places (bars, strip joints, massage parlors, free lancers) to keep a single man happy. Certainly, if you come to Costa Rica, you can expect to have no problems getting laid 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Sex is both legal and quite available in Costa Rica.
