Intro To Sex Tourism In Shanghai
Sex tourism in Shanghai is constantly increasing as the population of the city.
Shanghai has always had a sex industry going, but after the 2013 crackdown on prostitution in Dongguan, the city saw an influx of sex workers.
In the old days, there were pimps (usually mamasam) in front of the major tourist hotels with cards and menus offering village girls. But those days are gone.
Now, with the proliferation of Telegram channels and other communication means, the in-call service is booming.
Simply, men book online and then visit the hooker’s apartment. This approach offers high-quality sex workers but at a high price.
The second most popular sex service is outcalls to the hotels, but the quality of the ladies is average.
Let’s see each sex service available so you get a better idea of what there is to offer:
• FL (发廊 – hair salon): You get a haircut plus handjob and blowjob in the back room. The standard price is 150 Rmb.
• TY (推油店/油压店 – oil massage shop): They offer a relaxing massage with a happy ending. Depending on the shop, they finish the session by hand, mouth, or breast. Rarely will you be offered full service. The price is 300-500 Rmb.
• LF (楼凤 – phoenix tower): Prostitutes that usually rent cheap rooms in a whore building. The typical price range is between 300-1000 Rmb for 1 hour of service. You can get an all-night service for about 2000 Rmb.
• GZS (工作室 – work studio): These are high-end escorts. Similar setup to the LF, the only difference is the girls have high standards and operate from an apartment rather than a room. For these higher-end girls, expect to pay 1000-3000 Rmb per hour, and over 5000 for all night.
• GM (干磨店 – dry rubbing clubs): Fishbowl massage shops with a line of girls to choose from. For an hour service is 1000-3000 Rmb depending on the rank of the girl.
• SM (水磨店 – wet rubbing clubs): Soapy massage parlors offering body-to-body wet rubbing service. The naked girl rubs all over your naked body plus a happy ending.
• 外卖 – delivery service: You deal with a pimp that will send you several photos and videos of girls to choose from. The rate depends on the quality of the girls and sexual service (see GZS/LF/TY), plus the transportation cost (100-200rmb).
As you can see, it isn’t difficult to find sex in Shanghai, but it is hard to find quality experiences.
It seems prostitutes in Shanghai are more interested in your money than in providing a good service… And the lack of English is a pain to deal with.
Red Light Districts
The most well-known unofficial red-light districts in Shanghai are Caojiadu, Fengzhuang, and Qibao. But there are also other smaller areas.
• Caojiadu: This famous hidden red light area has little brothels everywhere. They don’t have flashy signs outside, but if you get close, you’ll notice a kind of phone light inside.
A lady will open the door when you’re close. Look out for these signs: 按摩，浴室，推拿.
• Jing’an on Yanping Lu: This is where you should go for an erotic massage. Jing’an area has several hidden erotic massage places offering a happy ending. There are also some nightclubs with whores.
• Fengzhuang: A busy location with many street hookers.
• Qibao: It’s a small red light area but growing.
• Xianan Road in the Pudong area: It’s the cheapest red light area in Shanghai. I don’t recommend it unless you’re the adventurous type and in the company of a local. A BJ is 150 Rmb and full service around 250 Rmb.
What About Sex & Girls In Shanghai?
Shanghai girls are not only beautiful, but also sexy. They know how to do their makeup and are extremely fashionable. It’s a treat to hang out with one.
Compared to Chinese girls from other provinces in China, women in Shanghai have less facial and body hair. What is irresistible is how they smell lovely even if they do not use perfumes.
You can go down on them without any surprise. You can enjoy it so much that it can become addictive.
They are generally thin and petite, with small boobs and a flat ass. If you like the thigh gap, you are going to get crazy when you see the girls in this city.
When it comes to sex, girls in Shanghai are open-minded and love to learn while trying new things. However, don’t expect them to be aggressive or take the lead in bed, as they are submissive.
On this site, you’ll find many Chinese ladies doing most things for a tip. But you can see they are conservative compared to other nationalities.
The same happens for the flirt part. You are expected to make a move as Shanghainese girls would never think to approach you.
Once you hook up with them, it is pretty easy to have sex on the first or second date if you act like a social person.
The only hard part you might face is communication if you can’t speak Chinese. Most girls in Shanghai are well educated, but they can’t speak much English besides a few words.
Where to Find Sex in Shanghai
Getting laid in Shanghai isn’t that difficult if you know where to look. Each place has different types of girls, prices, and services. But generally speaking, some are better than others, starting with…
1. Online
There are foreign and Chinese women using apps and websites to hook up in Shanghai because it’s the easiest way to meet a foreign man… And my friend, that is an excellent opportunity for you to score without facing embarrassment or rejection.
A good site in Shanghai to get into kinky stuff like threesomes and group sex is Asian Match Mate.
But my favorite hunting ground to hook up with horny women is this cam site (search on the middle top bar “Chinese” to see all the models.
If I like how a cam girl plays with herself, I start to tip her regularly. When she starts to notice me, I ask for a private contact so I can socialize with her. Then I’ll meet her personally and have fun together.
On those sites, some girls have a profile written in Chinese, not because they want to meet a Chinese man, but because they don’t know how to write in English. Simply, use “Google Translate” to communicate with them.
2. Nightclubs & Pick Up Bars
The most popular nightlife areas are Hengshan Road, Xintiandi, and Found 158 West Gate. These are the go-to places for foreigners looking for some fun and excitement.
The Found 158 area has a few bars with plenty of working girls if you search for them.
Some venues are popular joints to pick up hookers like Manhattan Bar, La Suite Club, and Judy’s (see description below). While others are a mix of freelancers and party girls.
A few great nightlife places have been shut down, and worthy mentions of the past are M1nt and Zapata Bar,
So let’s dig into the best pick-up joints one by one:
- Manhattan Bar
This bar is full of hookers freelancing around. There are Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Filipino ladies. Watch out for the ladyboys.
- Judys – No. 329 Tongren Road
This is the Monger HQ in Shanghai. Most are Vietnamese prostitutes who can range from stunning to pretty average. Some are Mongolian and African. The standard rate is 2000 Rmb for a short time and 4000 Rmb for all night, negotiable.
- Bar Rouge
It has a bar/nightclub on a terrace overlooking the city. It’s popular with high-class foreigners and Chinese girls. Go on Thursday night; it’s ladies’ night. Among the crowd, there are also freelancers.
- La Suite Club
This is a late pickup joint where prostitutes head after 2 am when they didn’t get a deal with customers yet. So you can get a good deal for about 1200-1600 Rmb for 2 shots.
There is a nice variety of nationalities, especially on busy nights on weekends.
- Kev Bar at Bund
It’s a rooftop bar that is worth visiting after 11 pm. There are girls looking for hookups and hookers. It’s not easy to figure out the two types.
3. Escorts – Call Girls – 楼凤
Shanghai escorts come in different flavors and prices. The most common formula is the in-call service. You use escort sites like 51fengliu.com, choose a lady, and go to her room.
They usually offer 60-90 minute services, but some also offer all-night experiences.
Some prostitutes offer outcall services, but they usually work with a pimp. Basically, you contact the pimp, and he’ll send the lady’s photo via WeChat.
Then you have this site that vets independent escorts by collecting comments from the customers.
4. Barber Shops
Shanghai barber shops with a couple of bored sexy girls and pink lights are the place to go if you want to get a cheap happy ending. They usually offer masturbation or oral sex for about 300-500 RMB.
Walk near the train stations, as most erotic barber shops are in that area.
5. Erotic Massage
If you are looking for a happy ending massage in Shanghai, typically most of the parlors offer a handjob. But there are a few erotic massage parlors that provide full service.
Visit the parlors on Liangcheng Road if you want a body-to-body massage with full service. In Changning District, you can find younger and more beautiful massage girls, but they offer only massage and hand jobs.
The price for a massage with a handjob is about 300-500 RMB, while full service is going to cost you 800+ RMB.
6. Street Prostitutes
There are some good-looking street prostitutes in Shanghai, but most are ugly and have poor hygiene.
Around the Science Museum and the Old Town in Pudong, many streetwalkers are approaching single males. Their rate is about 300 Rmb.
Be aware that some are just trying to steal your valuables or scam you. If it’s your first time in Shanghai, bring someone with you.
Typical Prices
• Accommodation
For a decent room, budget about 300 Rmb per night. Don’t worry about bringing in guests at night or asking a call girl to visit you, the reception won’t bother you.
A quality hotel conveniently located near Judys is Jing’An Shangri-La. Great place at 2000 Rmb per night.
• Girls
Shanghai girls’ prices are similar to other major cities in China. Starting at 300 Rmb for one hour with a street prostitute up to 5.000 Rmb with a top Escort, you can see there is a wide gap to fill.
The best option is the freelancers in nightclubs, bars, and online asking for 600-1.500 Rmb for two shots.
For the lazy mongers, some businesses sell sex. The prices are fixed and you get served on the spot.
Below are the rates:
- Barber Shops: 300-500 Rmb for a massage and a blowjob or handjob.
- Erotic Massage: between 300-1.000 Rmb. The lowest price gets you a handjob while the higher price is for a full service.
- KTVs: karaoke bars popular among Chinese men, they offer drinks, food and girls. They are expensive for what they provide and it’s easy to get scammed.
Tips & Tricks
• Never transfer money to any working girl – That is indisputable proof of payment. Cash only, also to the massage places.
• Be aware of scams – The bar scams, tearoom scams, practice English scams, and similar ones follow the same routine.
She takes you to an affiliate business, she orders, and then she goes to the bathroom and never comes back. The bill arrives and it is thousands of Rmb.
• Condoms – Bring your own; she might have only small-size condoms.
Where To Stay
The hotels in Shanghai don’t ask for IDs for guests who come overnight.
The best area to stay is down Tongren Lu from Judys which is a Monger HQ. There are also other nearby nightlife spots to have fun.
For high-budget travelers, go for Jing’An Shangri-La or Paramount Gallery Hotel for a more pocket-friendly accommodation.
This concludes the Shanghai sex guide. Play safe, have fun.
