Abstract: This study comparatively analyses seven digital portals intended for sexual contact in Pontevedra, Galicia, to identify common elements in their advertisements, structure, and functionalities. Using a qualitative methodology, the work focuses on four key dimensions: legal notices and access, general portal structure, detailed advertisement presentation, and noteworthy functionalities, including interaction and geolocation. The results show varied practices regarding adult access and different levels of interaction, highlighting the widespread use of WhatsApp for immediate communication and evaluation systems similar to commercial platforms.
