Stacey Dooley opens the series by visiting Turkey, where sex is something of a taboo subject but prostitution is legal. She meets sex workers who view themselves as tutors to the uninitiated men of a society that is sexually repressed.
Stacey Dooley travels to Brazil where she meets some of the nation's 1 million transgender people. Faced with deep-rooted prejudice, many enter a sex industry controlled by violent armed militias.
Stacey examines two very different sides to the sex industry in St. Petersburg. Prostitution is illegal, but high-class call girls find loopholes in the law while sex workers on the streets face corrupt cops and violent mobsters.
