I'm not doubting you, I just can't think of any U.S. companies in the South American sex and porn markets... I'm not sure I've even heard of South American porn at all.
Of course this fact is not so obviously as it should be. many do not even know about it.
lets take an example for the sex-tourism.
go to
www.freemexicanwomen.com
let's choose theyr "single tours".
they offer so-called single tours to almost EVERY southamerican country.
if you want to register yourself you have to pay a fee of 95 US $ per year.
Besides this is also a "marriage agency". They offer the "gold"( $19.95/month) "platinum"( $29.95/month) and "diamond"( $39.95/month) membership.
"Agency features single and beautiful mail order brides from Mexico seeking single Western men for friendship, long-term dating relationship, love and marriage"
An efficient site, isn't it?
How does it come that to pay your fees the site says this:
"Latins Worldwide LLC
20 West Lucerne Cir. Suite #903
Orlando, Florida 32801"
As far as i know Florida is a state of the US, Orlando is a city in Florida, and "Latins Worldwide LCC" is a company.
So the money flows from the South American "Ressources" to Florida, USA.
This site runs as a partner of the affiliate program from
http://www.trafficfordollars.com/ .
The most efficient partner is AgencyAffiliate.com.
"AgencyAffiliate.com has the most lucrative private labeled dating affiliate program anywhere. Our affiliates get paid every month and earn up to $150 per tour sign up! We feature 10,000's of beautiful singles seeking love, friendship and marriage with serious minded men. We currently have 8 South American destinations featuring Single's vacations, group tours, personal tours and DVD."
Unfortunately all information about the company has been removed from the site. Except "AffiliateAgencies.com, LCC".
"LCC" means "Limited Liability Company" and is a "newly created entity within the United States". In the US. Let's keep that in mind.
Aint this again a huge profit for the company behind the scenes? Aint it again a "South America" oriented business?
Other "Partners" are: Latinvideogirls.com ("
Dominican Republic, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Costa Rica").
The owner is: LatinBrides, LLC; Orlando, FL 32822.
Surprise, surprise!
Sexyriogirls.com ("Stake your claim in
the fastest growing and unsaturated market in Sexy world - Brazil!
[...] Join Today and start making money! We don’t make money unless YOU make money!").
The owner is: Paycom Billing Services, Ltd.
As far as i know "Ltd." means "Limited Partnership" in the US.
Every "Partner" features each other on their own sites as they are all patners of the affiliate RESELLER programme from trafficfordollars.com.
Can you imagine how many dollars come together if they only had a bunch of customers using 4 or 5 services altogether?
Each month? Each year?
SO all in all it seems to be a VERY efficient business for that company, right?
A Testimonial about the Business is:
"I highly recommend that webmasters join the Trafficfordollars.com affiliate program. It features some of the best online dating products, offers excellent affiliate support & pays very promptly every month. If you are serious about making money on the internet, joining this program will be an essential element to your success!"
Another evidence for the booming market, aint it?
I guess this is enough evidence that this company isn't the only one who earns cash with this marketing strategy...
Let take another example for the porn industry:
8thStreetLatinas.com for example produces porn in almost every Latin American Country as well;
"Travel and lodging are also taken care of";
$ 24,95/month and the owner is:
Mauricio Botero
225 7th street
Miami, Fl 33139
Miami, Florida, USA. He also owns MikeInBrazil.com.
another one:
LatinaSex.com; "From Central and South America to the Carribean and even Europe, our girls are simply the best"; $ 29,99/month; owner:
R.Nash
3880 Lemon St. Suite 205
Riverside, California 92501 USA
Riverside. California. USA.
Or fantasylatina.com. $ 42,95 monthly. Owner:
Robert S. Apgood
CarpeLaw PLLC
2400 NW 80th Street #130
Seattle, WA 98117
Seattle. Washington. USA.
Or LaZonaModelos.com; $ 24, 95 monthly. Owner:
La Zona Entertainment
14351 Magnolia Blvd.
Sherman Oaks, Ca. 91423
Sherman Oaks. California. USA.
I guess these "TOP RATED PAYSITES" reveal a structure:
South America -> USA -> California, Florida, Colorado etc.
Where does the ressources come from? South America, right?
Where does the cash go? USA, aint it so?
Note that the US porn business has a current profit of $ 10 billion a year.
10 BILLION DOLLARS! 50% MADE WITH WEBSITES!
The market booms, the customers are available, and the ressources in the south american countries are cheap. We have seen a lot of companies doing exactly this branch of business. We have seen a lot of companies, located in the southern US states offering south american girls, wifes, etc.
I think that all shall do as evidence for the porn industry.
So what is the truth about sex tourism in South America?
I will give you one of the ugliest examples.
Check out WORLDVISION.ORG for this issue. Better sit nice.
http://domino-201.worldvision.org/get_i ... issues_stp
Yes, Mexico and Brazil are almost on the same level with Thailand.
And i guess EVERYONE knows, that Thailand's biggest tourism branch is the legal and illegal sex tourism and human traffic.
Another Quote on that topic:
"On this trip, I've had sex with a 14 year-old girl in Mexico and a 15 year-old in Colombia. I'm helping them financially. If they don't have sex with me, they may not have enough food. If someone has a problem with me doing this, let UNICEF feed them."
-Retired U.S. Schoolteacher
A damn US Schoolteacher!!! What the heck!!!
I hope you have now accepted the ugly truth...

Now, I wouldn't doubt the part about exploiting lower wages, that's just a fact of life. Personnel is the most expensive part of any business venture (beyond the sole proprietorship or the partnership, of course). Why do you think Germans are building vehicles in the U.S.?
That's exactly the point, my friend. If the market is available, if the customers are there, if the "ressources" are there, if the production costs can be reduced to a minimum, the capitalists do not know morality or humanity.
Other Question: Why is GM producing in Mexico (GMM)?
Answer: Mexico offers lower production costs, lower wages, less hard laws, less governmental control and less labour rights than the USA.
But with the international porn and sex tourism industry it is another case.
They don't need a factory and many employees.
They just travel over there, make their movies and leave again.
They don't even need to have a license and they do not need to found a company when they produce the material.
They only need a LLC or a LTD in the US where the market is.
Bit's and Bites are tollfree, their "trasportation" doesnt even cost as much as real ware that is im- or ex-portet.
Other Question: Why is Coca-Cola doing a dirty war in Colombia?
Answer:

I could post another 1000 of interesting questions and answers but i think it is obvious what i am trying to say:
Whether Flesh nor Blood can keep the capitalists from making money from the sweat, tears and lives of an exploitet group of people in need.
Sure, there are some reliable companies out there who have their standarts of morality and are doing everything to keep them.
But even the smallest gap in the market, even if it is a dirty market, it is being conquered by someone who is ruthlessly enough to do it.
*Phew, that shall do, enough of writing, hopefully someone reads it.
I just wanted to make something clear...*
