Have visited a few brothels after breaking up with my wife of 20 years. Here are some observations.
In my early 40s. Why? Because I've come out of a 20-year monogamous marriage, have never done anything like this before, have the cash and I'm not ready to date yet. I also figured it was safer from disease than Tinder. Plus, well… I'm in my 40s, balding and out of shape… Location: Australia, in a city with legal, licensed brothels. Visits: 5 different brothels, 10 different sex workers including one private escort. Purpose: Sharing useful info for others. Opinions and observations are personal; sex workers are welcome to comment. Terminology: Using "Sex worker" or "Escort" instead of "Prostitute" for respect. Many brothels have websites where you can read bios of the girls. Most photos are fake; the fine print notes "likeness only". Websites often show a roster so you can see who's working and book in advance for your preferred girl. All brothels had off-street parking behind a 6+ foot fence. Some even had sheets to cover your car. Signs were minimal. Entry required being buzzed in, with a manager greeting and explaining procedures if it's your first visit. Introductions happen in a small room with chairs or a couch, a side table with porn and sexual health pamphlets, and a TV with low-volume porn. CCTV cameras may be present. Safe sex (with condoms) is mandatory by law. Two rates apply: brothel rate (time-based, covering basic services like massage, hand job, PIV sex, oral) and sex worker's rate (for "extras"). Extras vary per worker and may include kissing, oral on the worker, fingering, deep throat, toys, etc. Special Packages: Girls introduce themselves one by one, wearing something sexy, and answer questions. Selection depends on your preferences and their availability. Hotter girls often include fewer extras in the standard fee. After selection, you are taken to a bedroom. Rooms may include shower, spa bath, massage table, or themed decor. Confirm extras and pay cash. Inspection for infections occurs using gloves and light. Shower is required before starting. Massage may be offered to break the ice. Good: You may have sex with women you wouldn't encounter otherwise. Experienced sex workers provide guidance. Opportunity to try new things. Bad: Lacks emotional connection, passion, or may feel mechanical. Sex worker may have multiple clients in a day and could seem less engaged. Shower, optional massage, and timing is often tracked by phone alarms or music playlists. Exits are private. Popular workers may be booked out, so plan in advance if possible.About Me
