In most hotels there is the option of a spa which offers therapeutic messages. This is not be mistaken for light sex play as this is serious service being given by serious working employees.

Sex work is rife among the young female Jamaican underclass, and the "rent a dread" trade - Jamaican gigolos serving as Jamaican Travel Guides for foreign females - was given a boost by the making of the hit movie "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"" in Negril. Negril and Montego Bay in particular, attracts large numbers of Jamaicans eager to act at travel guides by attaching themselves to foreigners for sex and money. Single foreigners (male and female) are likely to be approached at some stage in not -too-subtle terms. Go-go dancers usually double as prostitutes, and most clubs have private rooms to facilitate this.

AIDS and other STDs are noted risks, and many street walkers are crack addicts. Many dancers also live in relatively unsanitary conditions.

There are some cheap private resorts that allows guests to bring their "Jamaican Travel Guides" without being hindered. Most however are now heavily focused on trying to put an end to the practice it does not do well for their reputation.
