Spain is often dubbed “Europe’s biggest brothel” and likely trails only China in prostitution market size. Prostitution here lives in a legal grey area (technically not illegal), so a massive commercial sex industry has flourished – by some estimates worth €3.7 billion annually.
Long gone are the Franco-era taboos – today Spain is one of Europe’s busiest, most open sexual playgrounds. Porn and camming are huge pastimes (Pornhub ranks Spain among its top traffic countries, and Spanish porn studios like Fakings churn out a huge library of amateur content.
The Spanish are proud of their liberal society – this was one of the first countries to legalize gay marriage and consistently polls as highly accepting of LGBTQ+ rights. It’s fair to say the locals mix a laid-back mañana vibe with a hearty (and lucrative) appetite for the adult industry…

Prostitution Laws In Spain
Like several countries in this region, Spain operates a piecemeal approach to its sex work laws.
Prostitution itself is legal – in that buying or selling sex is not a crime. But a raft of organized activities around it often are illegal (pimping, trafficking, and profiting from another’s prostitution are banned). The first two are fairly self-explanatory, but ‘profiting from another’s work’ is notoriously open for interpretation.
You won’t find any licensing or official regulation at the national level – sex work isn’t recognized as a job.
This has created a vast and only semi-regulated market.
Brothels operate under the guise of “clubs.” Agencies advertise escorts as “companions.” It’s an open secret: authorities mostly turn a blind eye, intervening only on issues like trafficking or street nuisances. In 2022, a push by the Spanish government to crack down on prostitution advertising led to many escort ad sites being blocked domestically.
You can probably imagine how this was received. We’ll just say that it stirred a lot of debate about whether outlawing ads actually helps… or just forces the business deeper underground.
As of 2025, Spain sits in a weird limbo: selling sex = legal; organizing it = illegal. In practice, however, the sex industry runs openly and it’s absolutely huge – a 2008 study found over 32% of Spanish men have paid for sex (the highest in Europe by far), which gives you an idea of how normalized it is.
Below, we’ll break down the main aspects of the trade:
Escort Industry
The Spanish government might be keen to banish escort sites from the public eye, but it doesn’t take a ton of Internet sleuthing to see how the trade continues online.
Independent escorts and escort agencies thrive in all major Spanish cities.
Since prostitution isn’t criminalized, you’ll find escorts advertising quite openly online. The recent laws have curtailed some of the marketing jargon on popular platforms (sites now avoid explicit terms like “escort” or “masajista”), but it’s not difficult to spot the ads.
Typically, escorts will provide both incalls at private apartments as well as outcalls to hotels.
We’d assess the typical rates as average by Western European standards: a local freelancer might charge around €150–€200/hour for a full service, though many girls offer shorter half-hour sessions for ~€80–€100 (or even less outside big cities).
High-end “VIP” companions catering to business travellers in Madrid or Barcelona can easily run into €300+ per hour, and there are some courtesans who might even manage double that. There are a ton of major business conferences held in these cities, particularly in the summer months… prime time for the local working girls.
Many escorts negotiate with punters via WhatsApp or Telegram. Because of the legal grey zone, agencies present themselves as “introducing services” only – the transaction is officially just for time/companionship, with anything sexual being “between consenting adults.” Wink wink, nudge nudge.
In practice, reputable escort agencies do operate (especially in Madrid’s financial district and Barcelona’s Eixample area), but a huge chunk of the market is independent: escorts self-advertising on classified sites and Elon Musk’s X.
After Spain’s crackdown on certain ad sites in 2023, many escorts migrated to new platforms (see Hookup Dating & Classifieds below). One constant: the industry is very international. You’ll meet a lot of Latin American, Eastern European, and African sex workers – by some counts, most prostitutes in Spain are immigrants.
For punters, this means a wide variety of looks and backgrounds, covering pretty much every budget. While the scene is tolerated, it’s still an under-the-table business.
Brothels (“Clubes”)
Yes, Spain has brothels, and lots of them. They’re not typically called ‘brothels’ though.
Instead you’ll see them advertised as “Club”, “Sala”, “Pub” or club de alterne (a type of nightclub where men pay for beautiful company). These can range from small bars with a few working girls, up to giant roadside mega-brothels where you question just WTF the authorities are letting slip through the net.
Because the law forbids third-party profiting off prostitution, owners will survive by using a loophole: officially they “only sell drinks and rent rooms” to independent sex workers.
In reality, of course, the house takes a cut of the action. Spain’s highway system is notorious for its brothels – an estimated 1,200 brothels line Spanish highways, often marked by pink neon lights and large billboards that leave little to the imagination. For example, just outside Madrid on the A6 you’ll find Club Olimpo (busted in the past for trafficking but still apparently active).
Catalonia’s border town La Jonquera has the sprawling Club Paradise, occupying 2,700 m² with 80+ rooms and up to 350 sex workers in peak season – billed as one of Europe’s largest brothels, and rivalling the epic whorehouses of Germany. These wild clubs draw busloads of clients (including many French and other foreigners seeking a cheaper slice of the action).
Brothel pricing varies by venue. At low-end roadside joints in say, Andalusia or Valencia’s outskirts, you might pay €30–€50 for a 15-20 minute quickie in a back room. Higher-end clubs in city peripheries or tourist zones will charge club entry and expensive drinks, and girls might ask €100–€150 for half-hour (of which the house often gets a share).
A report from Barcelona described a “select” club offering 30 minutes for €120 and an hour for €200. This was pre-Covid, chances are the price has gone up considerably since then. Don;t be surprised if buying a lady a drink costs an exorbitant €50–€70 (essentially an “introduction” fee). Enough to make the eyes water.
Some clubs operate almost like discos – you walk in, get chatting to ‘hostesses’, then negotiate private time. Others are straight-up sex supermarkets with line-ups.
Still, take note that brothels are quasi-legal: police might tolerate them unless there’s evidence of coerced girls or they cause a public disturbance. In pandemic times, crackdowns happened often. But overall, Spain’s brothels are something of an accepted institution and all part of the country’s massive sex industry.
Massage Parlours
Erotic massage studios (centros de masajes eróticos) are another common sight in major Spanish cities (and even local towns).
Walk through Madrid or Barcelona and you might notice “Masajes” signs offering Thai massage or “relaxing massage” – many double as happy-ending parlours.
Services range from legit massage with a feliz final (hand release) to full-service in private rooms.
Since full sex is available so readily in Spain, classic rub-and-tug places aren’t as ubiquitous as in say, Asia – but oh yes, they do exist.
Typically, an erotic massage in Spain might cost €50–€80 for 30 minutes (with manual or oral relief), and €100–€150 for hour-long sessions with FS.
All the usual services are on the menu (if you visit the right one). Nuru (body-to-body) and tantra massages are staples; some upscale tantric studios cater to well-heeled clients, with luxurious surroundings and model-tier masseuses (charging up to €200/hr for a very “complete” experience).
Many independent escorts also advertise as masseuses to reach shy clients. Again, due to the advertising ban on sexual services, you’ll see coded language: “masaje sensitívo”, “tantra for gentlemen,” etc.
Legally, these parlours operate in the same state of limbo – licensed as massage or spa businesses, but everyone knows what’s up.
Police generally leave them be. Keep in mind some lower-end Asian massage shops in Spain’s cities are strictly legit (just muscle massages). You can’t just stroll into any massage shop expecting a good time. That’s where punters will generally check Reddit reviews or forums to know which is which… and to avoid embarrassment.
Sex Clubs
First, we have to distinguish from swinger clubs (covered later) – in Spain, “sex club” can mean venues where open sexual activity happens that aren’t necessarily brothels or swingers-only.
One famous example is Bagdad Club in Barcelona, a long-running cabaret where the models have live sex on stage (and occasionally pull audience members in!).
The marketing is pretty upfront about this, ‘PORN SHOW‘:
It’s probably best described as a unique hybrid of strip club, theatre and sex club – you pay an entry to watch hardcore shows in a small theatre, essentially legal because it’s “performance.”
Then there are some kinky fetish clubs and private party venues in cities: e.g. *Sala Entre in Madrid or certain night events in Barcelona where group play is allowed on premises. As you’d expect, these cater to voyeurs and exhibitionists more than the pay-for-play crowd (who have plenty of options elsewhere).
Spain’s on-premise sex party scene is a bit niche. But it does exist in forms like BDSM dungeons, gangbang parties organized online, and occasional fetish nights.
In Barcelona, there are monthly fetish parties (like at Club Rosas 5 for BDSM, or swingers clubs hosting fetish-themed nights). Our City Guides cover most of the best options throughout Spain.
Legally, as long as it’s private and consensual… it’s fine. Just don’t expect something on the scale of Berlin’s KitKat or London’s Torture Garden!
Striptease clubs are common in Spanish nightlife zones, though the culture differs slightly from the US.
Big cities have a slew of strip clubs (often called Club de Streaptease or just “Club”), especially in tourist-heavy areas. Barcelona’s La Rambla area is dotted with strip clubs that aggressively lure in tourists. Be careful though – tourist trap strip clubs in Spain are known for overcharging (€20 shots, pushy “champagne room” sales, etc.).
We can also speak first-hand of the pickpocketing problems in these areas! It’s absolutely out of control.
Notable Red Light Districts
Looking beyond La Rambla, Spain has a few hotspots known for street prostitution or clusters of sex venues.
We strongly suggest you AVOID these areas. There are much better (and safer) options online.
- Barcelona – El Raval (Barri Xino): The historic “Chinatown” of Barcelona (around Carrer d’En Robador and Carrer de Sant Ramon) is the city’s most famous street prostitution scene. After dark, you’ll see working girls (and trans sex workers) on these narrow streets. It’s gritty and generally unsafe – petty crime and police raids come with the territory. La Rambla, the main boulevard, has streetwalkers late at night (or pretty much anytime, from what we saw!). Barcelona authorities have tried to clean up El Raval, but it doesn’t look like they’ve been particularly effective.
- Madrid – Calle de la Montera & Casa de Campo: Spain’s capital has no official RLD, but Calle de la Montera (a walking street off Gran Vía in the center) is well-known for hookers. You might spot women in doorways or near Sol square looking for clients – it’s pretty out-in-the-open, to the surprise of many tourists. Elsewhere, Casa de Campo, a large park on Madrid’s west side, has for decades seen street prostitutes (and also cruising/gay activity). At night, certain loops in the park see sex workers line the road and clients drive up – somewhat akin to a red-light auto district. The city has tried imposing fines on street prostitution, which pushed some activity to less visible areas. It still persists, though.
- Valencia – Barrio de Velluters: Valencia’s old town once had its Barrio Chino in El Velluters quarter. The sex business has waned after crackdowns, but freelancers still work certain alleys. More significant are the large clubs on the city outskirts and along the Pista de Silla (V-31) highway – an area known for brothels and rotondas (roundabouts) where sex workers wait in hope of johns.
- La Jonquera (Catalonia–France Border): We have to mention this small border town for its density of brothels serving French clients. The infamous Paradise club is here (see below), along with several other large “hotels” offering prostitution. It’s been dubbed “Europe’s Brothel” in media. Tour buses from France are a common sight on weekends.
Elsewhere in other cities: Málaga and Seville have some street action in specific areas (often around port districts or certain strips outside downtown).
Maspalomas (Gran Canaria) is known more for gay cruising than straight prostitution, but its Playa del Inglés area hosts some sex clubs and massage spots for sex-mad tourists.
Frankly, with so many indoor options, street prostitution in Spain is left to those seeking the absolute cheapest sex who don’t mind the risk of getting collared. Not recommended.
City Guides
Euro Sex Scene has coverage of the local sex scene in three Spanish cities:
Attitudes Towards Sex
Spain in 2025 is broadly sex-positive.
The average Spaniard has had multiple partners, likely started having sex in their late teens, and doesn’t consider it a huge moral issue. LGBT folks mostly live openly and dating apps are wildly popular here.
But thanks to the country’s Catholic shadow, you won’t find the outright hypersexual public culture of, say, the Netherlands. It’s liberal, just not that liberal.
Spaniards consider themselves pretty passionate lovers – after all, the land of flamenco and fiesta prides itself on pasión!
If we look back further, Spain has an interesting mix of traditional and progressive values when it comes to sex.
The country is historically Catholic and up until the 1970s it had a conservative dictatorship (under Franco) that repressed sexual expression. Pornography was banned, homosexuality was criminalized – things were very much different to how they are today.
That changed dramatically after 1975. The late ‘70s and ’80s brought the destape (unveiling) – a cultural wave of sexual liberation in media and art. Nude scenes flooded Spanish films, porn mags hit newsstands, and the younger generation embraced a new freedom.
Fast forward to today, and Spain is generally open and sex-positive. Surveys confirm Spaniards are quite liberal on most sexual matters. For example, a 2021 international poll found 91% of Spaniards would support a gay or bi family member coming out (the highest of eight countries surveyed).
That acceptance even extends to traditionally taboo areas – discussion of sex isn’t as hushed as in some other Catholic-rooted societies. It’s telling that Spain was the 3rd country in Europe to legalize same-sex marriage (in 2005) snd is often ranked among the top for LGBTQ equality. Sex education is fairly common in schools, and things like nudity on beaches or TV simply aren’t a huge deal.
Machismo – the idea of male sexual dominance – has traditionally been part of the culture (Spain did give the world the word “machismo”). This has meant a bit of a double standard: men sowing wild oats is winked at, but women’s promiscuity was historically frowned upon.
The numbers reflect this: a 2003 study showed 27% of Spanish men had paid for sex, while 55% of Spanish women said they’d only had one sexual partner in life. I know we mentioned many of Spain’s sex workers are foreign migrants, but surely those numbers cannot possibly add up!
Public opinion on prostitution is mostly ambivalent. Many Spaniards accept sex work as part of society – after all, it’s practically everywhere and an estimated 300,000 people work in the trade
Then again, we’ve also seen a strong modern feminist movement that views it as exploitation and pushes for abolition. Current discourse is split: some want legalization and workers’ rights; others want to ban the industry altogether.
Porn Viewing Trends
Pornhub’s data consistently puts Spain among the top 15 countries by traffic (it ranked 13th worldwide recently, sandwiched between bigger countries).
While the porn industry doesn’t revolve exclusively around Pornhub, their data is generally a pretty good marker of the local appetite for smut…
Spaniards tend to gravitate toward content in their own language or featuring fellow Spaniards more than some other Europeans do. According to a recent Pornhub Insights report, the most common porn search term in Spain was “Español” (Spanish) itself.
Related terms like “Maduras españolas” (Spanish MILFs) and “Fakings” (the name of a popular Spanish amateur site) have historically shown up high in Spaniards’ porno searches.
The top viewed porn categories in Spain tend to mirror global trends. In past years, categories like Lesbian, Anal, MILF, Teen, and Hentai have all been in Spain’s top 10.
We’ve also noted a trend for VR porn. Spain saw an 800% increase in VR porn viewing in 2017, thanks in part to Spanish-owned VR studios making content! The demand has tapered off slightly since then, but the Spanish still watch a disproportionately high amount of virtual reality content.
The peak viewing hours are late at night (post-11pm) as is common elsewhere. The average time spent on Pornhub in Spain was about 8 minutes – a bit shorter than the global average.
Mobile usage dominates, like everywhere. Just look at the numbers below:
Well over 90% of Spanish porn site visits are from a mobile phone. And there’s a lot of them.
Clearly the locals are making use of their shorter working hours! 😂
Porn is largely unregulated online in Spain – no ISP blocks – access is easy.
Top Spanish Porn Sites
Based on data from SEMrush’s Trending Websites for Spain, the top porn sites in Spain are dominated by several key players that most of us are already familiar with…
Pornhub, XVideos and XHamster all get massive traffic from horny Spaniards.
Leading the pack is Pornhub.com (126.18M visits in Feb 2025), which holds the top position in the adult category. Following closely are Xvideos.com (83.98M) and then further back is Xhamster.com (23.36M), both securing spots within the top five. The region-specific Xvideos.es (23.16M) adds to the total number of Xvideos fans, and goes to show the hot demand for localised porn.
It’s worth noting that Spain was one of the earliest to have an established domestic porn production scene in Europe.
In the 1990s-2000s, directors like Torbe (known for his amateur style) made a mark. Today, the Spanish porn production has gone more amateur and indie. Studios like FaKings.com specialize in evergreen faux-amateur scenes (often themed around picking up “normal” Spanish chicas).
Notable Adult Stars From Spain
Spain has produced some notable porn stars who are known worldwide, including:
- Nacho Vidal – Arguably Spain’s most famous male porn star. Nacho became a legend in the late 90s/2000s in European and U.S. porn, often dubbed the “Spanish Rocco Siffredi” (for his well-endowed, rough performing style). He’s appeared in over 1,500 adult films and directed many as well. Nacho’s notoriety extends outside porn – he’s been in mainstream news due to some scandals (including a bizarre incident involving toad venom ritual in 2019). An icon of Spanish porn’s golden era.
- Jordi “El Niño Polla” – A modern phenomenon, Jordi is a young Spanish performer who shot to fame via Brazzers/Pornhub. His stage name (crudely, “The Dick Boy”) reflects his youthful looks – he started at 18 and has a boy-next-door face paired with, well, a notable package. Jordi became one of Pornhub’s most-searched stars globally (ranked in the top 10 most viewed porn actors in 2021. He’s especially popular in North America as a niche category (the skinny Spanish kid who surprises partners). In Spain, he’s known more as an online meme!
- Amarna Miller – A prominent female porn star from Madrid, now semi-retired. Amarna grabbed international recognition in the 2010s for her striking look (pale skin, red hair) and outspoken personality. She’s an AVN award winner, has worked in the US and Europe, and later became an author/activist.
- Apolonia Lapiedra – One of the top Spanish porn actresses of the last decade. Hailing from Murcia, Apolonia entered the industry mid-2010s and quickly rose with her performances for major European studios. She’s won multiple awards (including “Best Spanish Actress” in local adult industry awards) and has a strong fan base. Apolonia has worked with big studios like Private, Brazzers and Marc Dorcel. Often referred to as the “queen” of current Spanish porn by her many fans.
Other names worth a nod: Rebeca Linares (a star of the 2000s who went to the US and was quite popular), Sara May (90s-era actress), Max Cortés (prolific male performer/director) and Lucía Lapiedra (who became a media personality after a brief porn stint).
The Spanish mainstream media occasionally covers these figures, but generally porn actors remain somewhat under-the-radar publicly (with exceptions like Amarna).
Popular Cam Sites In Spain
Big business, and massively popular.
At one point Alexa rankings showed LiveJasmin as the 21st most visited website in Spain (higher than even Pornhub at 35th). Yep, this Budapest-based cam giant is a major hit in Spain. It was even out-ranking Elon Musk’s Twitter (before it became X)!
Similarly, BongaCams does extremely well – appearing in the top 50 sites.
Chaturbate is also popular, though not as dominant as in English-speaking markets. Chaturbate does have a Spanish interface and plenty of Spanish-speaking performers, so it’s used by the younger crowd (especially those who prefer the free/ad-supported cam model).
The line between porn and camming is becoming blurred when sites like Fakings have started offering live cam sections (typically whitelabelled in from the major platforms above, or via StripChat).
Data from industry analyst CamsRank suggests you’ll find an average of 198 Spanish performers live on the major platforms (during peak hours). Slightly less than we expected, wedged between Latvia and Italy!

LGBTQ Scene
Spain’s LGBTQ+ landscape is often held up as a model of progress. It’s hard to believe that under Franco (pre-1975) being gay could land you in prison… or worse
The turnaround has been extraordinary.
Homosexuality was decriminalized in 1979, and in 2005 Spain became one of the first countries to legalize same-sex marriage and adoption.
Today, legal protections are strong throughout the country: anti-discrimination laws, the right for transgender people to change gender legally (Spain recently passed a law allowing self-ID gender change without surgery), and open military service. Looking at society in general, acceptance is high.
In a recent survey by YouGov, Spain ranked #1 in LGBTQ acceptance – 91% of Spaniards said they’d support a gay family member, and 87% would support a trans family member. That’s compared to just 57% (LGB) and 47% (trans) in France.
Spain’s numbers are higher than even famously liberal countries like Sweden. It’s fair to say that being gay, at least in the urban areas of Spain, is about as normalized as it can get.
To go with that, Spain has a stonking gay nightlife. Madrid and Barcelona are the epicenters: Madrid’s Chueca district is a gay village teeming with bars, clubs, saunas, and shops. Madrid Pride (Orgullo) each June is one of Europe’s largest Pride festivals – attracting around 1-2 million revellers.
Barcelona’s Eixample area (sometimes dubbed “Gaixample”) is similarly a hotspot, with a slew of gay bars and the famous Circuit Festival (a massive gay dance festival held in August).
One area of note: cruising culture.
Outdoor gay cruising is a thing in many cities, no doubt helped by the climate!
Parks like Parque del Buen Retiro in Madrid or the Montjuïc area in Barcelona have spots known for men meeting men after dark. And of course, the Maspalomas dunes in Gran Canaria are an internationally famed cruising ground (literally sand dunes where men wander off the paths to find encounters). There are also several gay saunas in big cities for those who prefer indoors – e.g., Sauna Paraiso or Octopus in Madrid, Casanova in Barcelona, etc.
These function much the same way as most continental European gay saunas (steam rooms, dark rooms, etc., entry ~€15).
Swinging Scene
Swinging – or “ambiente liberal” as it’s often called in Spanish – is alive and well.
Lifestlyin’ Spaniards have embraced swinger clubs perhaps more quietly but more broadly than we might expect. Still, there are dozens of swingers clubs in major cities: Madrid alone has around 50 different swingers/parejas clubs in the metro area.
These aren’t seedy keys-in-a-bowl parties in someone’s basement either; many are well-established venues with bars, dance floors, private rooms, jacuzzis, and all the trimmings you’d expect for a successful orgy. The scene tends to skew toward middle-class couples in their 30s-40s (often professionals letting loose on weekends).
In Madrid, destinations like Dessire, Triángulo, Nuevo Loft and Liberty come up often on swinger forums. Barcelona has clubs like Swinger’s (in Poblenou), OOPS!, Club liberal Rosso, etc., plus a famous monthly party called Kapital Swinger Night. Valencia, Málaga, Seville each have a handful of clubs too. You can find local venues in each of our city guides.
From what we’ve seen, the Madrid clubs tend to be a lot more selective about who they accept to party nights…
In keeping with swinger club tradition, most have specific rules – e.g. single men often only allowed on certain days or with a hefty fee, to keep ratio balanced. If you’re a single woman? No such worries.
Sites like SwingerEspaña or international melting pots like SDC have lots of Spanish users. Also, FetLife has groups for Spanish swingers. During the pandemic, some of this went virtual… but in-person parties are well and truly back in full swing now.
Hookup Dating and Classifieds
If swinging isn’t your thing, Spain has no shortage of ways to meet people for more casual fun or arrange a hookup.
We’ll start with the obvious…
- Tinder – No surprises. The reigning champ of hookup apps in Spain (as everywhere). Tinder is massively used across all age groups for anything from quick flings to actual dating. Spaniards can be flirty and direct on Tinder; expect faster escalation to meeting compared to some more conservative cultures. It’s common in big cities to line up a cita (date) the same day if the vibe is right.
- Destacamos.com – A major escort/classified ads portal, which by 2025 has huge traffic (over 4.5 million visits monthly). It’s effectively an aggregator for escort ads, somewhat similar to how Pasion used to function. “Destacamos” roughly means “we highlight” – and no shit, it highlights numerous profiles of escorts across different cities. This site became so popular that the Spanish government specifically targeted it in their ad ban (seeing it as a key platform for prostitution ads). The site is still accessible (often via VPN or mirror links if blocked locally). Good luck finding any non-paid action, though!
- NuevoLoquo.com – The successor to the old “Loquo” classifieds (which was like Spain’s Craigslist). NuevoLoquo is a dedicated adult classifieds site listing personal ads, escorts (acompañantes), massage, trans escorts, gigolos, and even webcam and phone sex services. It’s organized by region, making it easy to find local listings (e.g. you can click province Barcelona -> category “Acompañantes mujeres” to see female escort posts in Barcelona). NuevoLoquo has been around for years and is well-known, especially in Catalonia. Many independent sex workers post there. The site survived the 2023 crackdowns possibly by hosting abroad (their blog has a .ch domain, hinting at measures to avoid Spanish jurisdiction).
- Skokka – Skokka has a Spain section with thousands of ads for escorts, massage, BDSM, etc. It’s kind of like the “global” alternative to local sites, and many escorts double-post on Skokka for wider reach.
- Milanuncios – Milanuncios.com is a general classifieds site (for selling furniture, finding jobs, etc.), but it historically had a personals section often colloquially called “relax” or “pasion” section. Following the legal changes, Milanuncios had to sanitize some adult content, but it looks like some ads still slip through under “Servicios personales”.
- Forocoches (and other forums) – An unexpected mention: Forocoches, a massively popular Spanish forum (ostensibly about cars, but covers everything) occasionally has threads like “la vida de un putero” (“life of a punter”) where users anonymously discuss experiences with escorts or swingers. While not a hookup platform per se, forums like these or Reddit (e.g. r/EspañaAdulto) can certainly point you in the direction of NSFW fun. There are also Spanish-language sex forums like SexoMercado with region-specific subforums, mostly of punters review escorts (but in Spanish).
- Dating sites/apps – Aside from Tinder/Badoo, Spain also has users on Meetic (Europe’s Match.com), which is more dating-oriented but can be used for casual dating too. For kink or alternative dating, FetLife is loved by the BDSM community, and apps like 3nder (Feeld) have a small niche following.
The appetite for meeting new partners, whether for one night or ongoing amistad con derecho a roce (“friends with benefits”), is clearly alive and well.
Just remember to keep it safe and be respectful; Spain is liberal… but not lawless. 😉
