→Punting overview
* Strip shows. Mostly in Copacabana. They can be entertaining if you are careful not to run up a bill but there is no guarantee of quality if you take one of the strippers back for the night, and she will generally charge more based on the venue where you met her. Negotiate on price before leaving the venue.
* Civvies. Brazilians aren't more promiscuous than any other nation (and contrary to the occasional report, are not 'open minded' about a person being a prostitute or visiting a prostitute). You may think you have found a very beautiful escort who can pass as a civvie: however, don't fool yourself: it will be blindingly obvious to a Brazilian that she is a prostitute. Don't go wearing your hobby on your lapel in polite company! Neither are civvie women likely to fall into the arms of a foreigner who is older and doesn't even speak Portuguese and is clearly on holiday looking for a quick fuck. If you are staying longer, you have more opportunities though if you a) learn some Portuguese language and manners and/or b) learn to dance. Bear in mind their are plenty of wealthy, athletic-looking young Portuguese men available, so don't expect an easy lay.
* Beach. Hook-ups can sometimes be made on Copacabana beach (especially near the Leme end, where you can also often find them at Mabs (opposite Princesa Isabel avenue); but it is also a favourite place for prostitutes to take advantage of gullible tourists. If you meet someone on the beach, maybe take her for a coffee to negotiate a price. Robberies on the beach are not uncommon and it's best only to take what you need. Topless bathing, surprisingly, is generally frowned on and even men should put a shirt on when going back onto the street. The deckchair/beer stall will usually look after your belongings if you go for a swim. Avoid the beach at night.
