Can I watch porn in Central America?

As much as we love porn, not all lawmakers do. Getting access to porn can be tough, depending on where in the world you are, so we’re going to look at whether porn is legal in Central America.

Being able to watch some good hardcore fucking or gentle pussy licking can be taken for granted when you get nearly unlimited access to porn. There are parts of the world like South East Asia and Africa that are much more restricted in getting to watch decent sex online.

For porn laws at a glance, check out our handy map that should give you a feel for where you can watch all the porn you want.

Before we get into the countries in Central America where you can and can’t watch porn, we should say that we’re not going into child pornography laws here. It’s taken as given that each country outlaws child pornography and rightly so – there is no place for anyone under 18 in pornography.

Is porn legal in Mexico?

Ok, ok, we know that Mexico isn’t technically Central America. We did pay attention to geography as well as biology in school.

Thing is, we’ve already covered the weird laws about sex in the USA. That pretty much leaves us Canada, home of the most controversial porn website in the world, and Mexico. We’ll get to Canada one day, so for now, we’re going to include Mexico’s porn laws right here.

To the current laws then.

There’s nothing on the books in Mexico that’ll stop you from being able to watch porn in the country. Go for your life…

It was only as recently as May 2021 that they introduced a law against revenge porn. If you’re caught sharing nudes, lewds, or other sexy photos without the permission of the person in the images, you’re up for up to six years. In a Mexican prison. Not a great idea, so don’t, ok?

As an interesting aside, a group of porn actors were caught doing a shoot in public in a natural beauty spot in Mexico. Whilst it seems some people tried to stir up public outcry, the local hotel association boss supported the move, saying it would increase tourism to the area.

Whatever floats your boat…

Can I watch porn in Belize?

Buried within the penal code of Belize is chapter 98, section 20. The few lines in this law say that you can’t…

• Produce
• Exhibit
• Trade

Obscene materials, but based on those verbs right there, it seems that watching could be allowed? That’s not our call and you’re the one who’d need to stand in front of a judge.

What’s the test that the judge applies? In Belize, they have what’s called the “reasonable man” test. Basically, you’d put the video or photo in front of a normal person from Belize and ask them “is that porn?”

In other Belize-related porn news, there’s currently a campaign to get a revenge porn law on the books, but there’s nothing solid as yet.

What are the porn laws in Panama?

Down in Panama, things are pretty loose and free, which has its positives and negatives.

On the plus side, there aren’t any laws in the penal code that specifically stop an adult from watching porn, or doing anything else porn-related.

That’s kinda where the problem is, too. So far, there aren’t any revenge porn laws in Panama either, meaning that women aren’t protected from having their nudes leaked.

Back to a reasonably positive note – prostitution is legal in Panama, meaning that at least they don’t criminalize sex workers.

Does El Salvador have pornography laws?

In El Salvador, there have been gender crime courts in place since 2017. When a range of crimes that disproportionately affect are reported, they get fast-tracked to these special courts. Included in those crimes are reports of revenge porn, which is helpful to women in general and SinParty creators.

When it comes to adult porn in general, if it’s consensual, there seems to be no laws on the books that would hold you back. We’ve trawled through the local criminal code and can’t see anything that would be an issue, but remember that it’s on your head if you break local laws.

Is pornography illegal in Guatemala?

Under article 196 of the criminal code in Guatemala, you’re not allowed to put on obscene shows or produce obscene publications. This includes:

• Making
• Exhibiting
• Reproducing
• Distributing
• Circulating

Anything obscene, which probably means that porn is illegal. There’s nothing specific about the internet, but we’re not down for testing the situation.

What does the law in Honduras say about porn?

Try as we might, there was nothing we could find in the laws of Honduras about porn created with consenting adults.

Can I watch porn legally in Nicaragua?

Back in 1913, the Printing Law was passed in Nicaragua. In this law, article eight states that you can’t “violate moral sanity” with “seditious, obscene, or pornographic” publications.

Reaching back more than 100 years for laws about internet porn is a bit of a stretch, for sure. We couldn’t find anything more up-to-date and nothing that suggested this law had actually been used to prosecute anyone at all recently.

What are the porn laws in Costa Rica?

Costa Rica – known as a hippy, yoga-folk-type holiday destination for Americans – has a rather open attitude towards sex.

Prostitution isn’t just legal in Costa Rica, it’s unionized. There is a liberal attitude towards selling sex that seems to have translated into an open attitude towards porn.

Whilst some sources suggest that adult, consenting pornography is illegal, there’s no mention of it in the penal code. We do warn you, again, to take this with a pinch of salt and if you’re ever unsure if heading over to watch porn on SinParty is legal or not, check with some local people who will know what’s what.
