In Brazil
a few years back I was out for at a club with a bunch of other westerners, mostly guys. It was an open-air place with a dance floor but due to the fact that all the Brazilians were dancing like pros and we were all slightly lacking in the coordination department we were just sitting drinking and chatting.

After a while we had been joined by a group of local ladies, one of whom was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. With the translating help of a Portuguese speaker in our group it transpired that she liked the look of me too so a little while later we were kissing in a quiet corner.

On returning to the group it turned out that the rest of the group were ready to leave having discovered that the other women were all prostitutes, "we fucky fucky, 30 reais" being the standard line. Maybe being a little naive/optimistic but as my girl didn't suggest anything I don't think she was a hooker. That's what I tell myself at least.

Funniest moment of the night was when one of the guys did a quick conversion and realised to his great disappointment that the asking price had been just £10.

I guess the answer to the question would be no, then.
