Yes. Although it is not legal. You will see many men and women looking to show you love. Many beautiful women will surround single men at the clubs, and single women will receive the same treatment from the local men. If you're single, it will be assumed that you're on the island seeking a 'likkle love beneat' de palms.' Any remonstration to the contrary will likely be met with wearying attempts to get you to change your mind. Black women can expect to hear a 'roots' trip.

However, I believe that using force is not the way to achieve this. The arguments against criminalizing "vices" are many and compelling.

But our mission is to deal with forced prostitution: with trafficking, dignity deprivation, kidnapping and murder - characterstics which conventional prostitution doesn't adopt.
