Prostitution or most types of sex work is legal and regulated in New Zealand. But before 2003, prostitution in New Zealand was governed by the Massage Parlours Act 1978, which allowed some indoor prostitution under a strict rule; indoor sex workers were required to be registered with the police. Advertising any type of sale of sex (soliciting), running a brothel, and making a living from earnings of prostitution were stamped illegal.

Luckily these laws were changed by the Prostitution Reform Act, passed back in June 2003. The decriminalisation of brothels, escort agencies and soliciting and substitution of a minimal regulatory model was formed. New Zealand prostitution laws are now some of the most liberal in the world. (Read Prostitution and the law on Wikipedia).

Now in 2021, escorting (prostitution) in New Zealand has become extremely mainstream and as many as 3 in 10 men in New Zealand show an active interest in paying for sex or erotic services.

Oni NZ is the newest and most updated website for escorts to advertise their services (think of it as the TradeMe and Facebook combined, for NZ Escorts). The website receives numerous visits from kiwis (male and female) every month, with over millions of views by next year. There is certainly no shortage of New Zealand and International males (and females) looking for escort services.

Now that escort work has become more acceptable than before, the demand and the law is there to help protect and keep escorts safe as well as provide amazing earning potential for those that choose to market themselves properly and differently from mainstream classifieds. Oni NZ and its social media like platform is the way to go for sure!
