This study intends to do some exploratory research among sex professionals who serve the upper middle class and upper class in Goiânia, a city in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Such a proposal is justified in reason that Goiânia has been identified as an international corridor for women trafficking. Its objective is to investigate the perceptions that sex professionals, who serve the upper middle class and upper class, have about themselves, their body and their profession. It attempts to understand their relationship with their own sexuality and their perceptions about the trafficking of women. Nightclubs were visited and four sex professionals were interviewed. In their discourse, the interviewees tried to sustain the position of offering a product, avoiding internal conflicts. These sex professionals separate their identities of being woman from that of being prostitutes and idealize situations of trafficking and sexual exploration.
