Colombia is increasingly shedding its old reputation as a place filled with murder and mayhem. While the country is no Shangri La, it has come a long way from the heady days of the eighties and nineties. Yet the more some things change, the more others stay the same. Prostitution remains legal in some forms in Colombia. And it is widespread in many forms in Medellin.
The mountain city of Medellin is one of the most well known and popular places in Colombia. Women from the city are commonly said to be some of the most beautiful on earth. Combine that with a large at least semi-legal sex industry and you end up with all sorts of sex work. Here’s a summary of prostitution in Medellin today.
Massage parlors in Medellin
Medellin is certainly not known for its massage parlors. Nor do massage parlors line the streets of Medellin the way they proliferate in cities like Bangkok. But Medellin does actually have a few erotic massage parlors including the famous Lutron that rival others around the world in terms of service and price.

Jade Palace Spa is a large erotic massage parlor in the popular Poblado part of town. Located just off the main street, the place is rather discreet with just a small sign next to the buzzer. After customers are let into the building, they find a clean and airy space run by a cheerful woman. The attractive gals on staff do nude full body massages on real massage tables followed by oral and sex for as little as 80,000 Pesos ($23 USD).
Brothels
Apartment based brothels or casas are perhaps the most common form of sex shop in Medellin. They can be found all over the city, though some are a lot more obvious than others. In most cases the brothels don’t have any signs or anything else outside to indicate what they are. Yet plenty of people find them nonetheless.
Masajes Aifee on Calle 57 is a good example of this sort of shop. It is open every day and always has a few women on staff. The action takes place in the private rooms inside. Thirty minute sessions cost just 37,000 Pesos ($11 USD).
Nearby sits New Life, which operates on a similar model. This place is larger and more popular with plenty of guys going in and out all the time. They have upwards of thirty women working, and many are quite attractive. Fifteen minutes of sex costs 40,000 Pesos ($12 USD). Three hours costs 200,000 ($58 USD).
The above are just two of the many brothels in Medellin. On last count I discovered more than two dozen similar places in the city. And from what I am told by some knowledgeable parties, there are many more than that around.
Strip clubs with sex
Strip clubs are also quite common in Medellin. What sets most of these places apart from the no touch strip clubs of the United States and other countries is that the dancers typically offer sex to customers for the right price. Sometimes the prices is even quite low.
At Playmates Show Bar drinks go for 4000 Pesos, nude dancers ask for 1000 Peso tips, and most of the gals will have sex with a guy for 80,000 Pesos ($23 USD). These low prices help explain why the place is so popular. Most nights it’s filled with local guys.
Barra Ejecutiva on Calle 55 is slightly more up market. The bar is large with a big stage in the middle. The women only occasionally dance on stage. But they do sit with customers quite often. They also leave with guys pretty regularly. Since the typical price of a barfine and tip for sex is 100,000 Pesos all together, it isn’t very surprising how often they can be seen heading off in search of a private place.
Fase II is the biggest and many would say the best of all the strip clubs in Medellin. Lots of women work the club including a few gals who look good enough to be models. The price for sex at Fase II is a bit higher at 190,000 Pesos ($55 USD). But it also includes use of a private room in the cabanas next door.
Prepagados
Finally there are the prepagados. The term literally translates to “prepaid”. But it refers to women who formally or informally escort and have sex with guys for money. Prepagados are a big thing in Medellin. And these days they even rival the gals working out of the official and established spots.
Pregados can be found throughout Medellin but most find their customers over the internet. They use everything from social media like Facebook and Instagram to dating apps like Tinder to find guys. And guys search the same places to find them. Some prepagados don’t even bring up the fact that they are looking for money until later on, or never. At times they just expect guys to know the game.
There are some organized websites with prepagados too. Some even screen profiles and pictures to make sure they are legitimate. Of course there are also sites that use the term prepagados but are simply traditional escort agencies. The term has a fairly wide application for sex workers.
Prices charged by pregados can vary depending on any number of factors. Official agency escorts might want a lot. Independent semi-professionals may want a little, especially for extended dating. But nothing is set in stone. It’s not uncommon for a guy in the know to pay a nineteen year old 100,000 Pesos or less for a blowjob and sex. Though prices can fluctuate heavily in either direction. Some ladies ask for 200,000 Pesos or more. And others work things like a sugar daddy relationship over the long term.
