Sex-work is legal in Canada, and Montreal is definitely no exception. While the buying and selling of sex is legal, the procurement of such service is not. If you are shaking your head, no wonder; the laws have been a source of controversy and confusion since the 19^th century when they were originally established.

In spite of the conflicting legislation, the city of Montreal has an abundant sexual appetite and offers any number of services in the sex trade for people actively seeking it. The French side of Montreal attributes its freedom of sexual expression to a history of Quebecer culture, which has always nurtured a desire for passion and intimacy.
