The pleasure zone

MONTEGO BAY, St James - It's called the pleasure zone. That's the area along Long and North lanes in Montego Bay, close to the historic Sam Sharpe Square, where young girls offer their bodies for sale. Most of them are teenagers; none of them older than 27.

Young girls like these sell their bodies on the streets, in massage parlours and go-go clubs across the island.

"Dis a wi flex corner where we meet men and offer dem some good loving, as long as dem have di money," said one 18 year-old, as she sipped from a bottle of beer and puffed on a cigarette outside a popular bar.

She became a prostitute at age 15, and is now a seasoned professional.
It's easy to believe that she has a lot of clients - she's easy on the eyes with a gorgeous smile, sparkling eyes full of promise and a great figure.

The 18 year-old, like many of the other girls who have made the area along the lanes their 'business place', spends much of her time aggressively trying to lure clients. But she doesn't come cheap.

"I don't work for less than five grands ($5,000)," she stressed, pointing out that the sum includes oral as well as penetrative sex.
