Founded in and formerly known as both Leningrad and Petrograd, Saint Petersburg is home to a population of over 5 million people. One of the most western parts of Russia, St Petersburg is a popular tourist destination with more than 7 million people tasting the hospitality of this former capital city.

It is estimated that that are anywhere between , and 3 million sex workers in the country. Major cities like Saint Petersburg have plenty of prostitutes who make a living in the strip clubs, erotic massage parlours, brothels and on the street.
Whilst the majority of women are Russian, you will also spot prostitutes from Asia, the Middle East and other Eastern European counties like Belarus, Ukraine and Estonia. You can find a whole range of escorts providing out-call services across Saint Petersburg from elite call girls to budget hookers. Some specialise in fetish or massage services whilst others offer a traditional GFE. The standard service usually covers a massage, oral plus covered sex.
Extras, such as A-levels, PSE or roleplay, will cost more. Brothels are illegal in Russia and there have been a few scalps from the authorities in recent years as police clamp down on these venues.
There was a particularly high profile incident in when 11 prostitutes and their clients were forced to walk several blocks naked to waiting police cars following a raid in Vasilyevsky Island. Though you can find illegal brothels in the city by asking almost any cab driver, this is not recommended both for the legal risks, as well as the many scams aimed at tourists.
