Well, you'd be wrong then, wouldn't you? I guarantee I know an order of magnitude more than YOU. When you make something illegal, you lose the ability to tax and regulate it.

Prostitution in Mexico
General Facts

At present, only 18 of the 32 states of Mexico regulate prostitution.

Each big city has a red zone (zona roja) where prostitution is allowed.

Prostitution cannot take place in public places - such as public buses, subways, or in public property. It is allowed on private property only with the approval of the owner.

Prostitutes have to be registered and have to pay for and receive weekly health checks and have to carry a health card to prove it.

There is a more complete account of the legal situation available.

The age of consent is 18, however, most things in Mexico do not go by the law.

Percentage of estimated prostitutes working:
On the streets: 48%
At bars: 38%
At bordellos: 14%
