Considering the relevance of Internet in the constitution of the transnational sex market, I analyze in this text, in an anthropological approach, how the images of South-American women spread throughout the cyberspace participate in the alteration of the world's sexual tourism circuit. I argue that, while there is a close relationship between sexual tourism and inequality, poverty, even if extreme, does not warrant the 'success' of a new center for sexual tourism. Given certain economic conditions, cultural aspects that express the intertwining of ethnic-regional traits and styles of sexuality, operate as ways of attraction for the rise of new targets. First, I present the specificities of the virtual space analyzed as well as a characterization of the users. Afterwards, I describe the interactions propitiated by the site and its working code and, taking into account the concepts associated to different regions, I analyze the characteristics of the sketched sexual-ethnic borders. Finally, I return to my initial argument, reflecting on how the processes of racialization that operate in this virtual space participate in the displacements in the world geography of asexual tourism.
