One thing I realised early-on in my brothel visiting days is that all brothels are not equal. Far from it. That first time can be nerve-wracking. I recall forgetting my earlier dreamy thoughts of having the best brothel experience in Melbourne that my mate promised me at this place; the first time it was all just a bit other-worldly and intimidating. But, having garnered a bit of courage, I rang the doorbell — that point of no return.
The door opened and suddenly I felt scared that I might see someone I knew, or worse, be recognised. It was fine of course, and I realised the whole experience was uniquely amazing. Where else in the world could anyone find a half-dozen, gorgeous women who, in my wildest dreams I could never meet in real life, all competing for the chance to have sex with me in a beautiful place? Occasional visits to other, lesser brothels showed me the tawdry side of the business.
Some I left quickly because, to me, the girls working there were unhappy or were clearly drug-affected. The glassy eyes, the disinterested body language and so on. On the other hand, I was lucky enough to find a couple of brothels in Melbourne where both the girls and the patrons are treated with respect.
Once I found these places, I never went anywhere else. They explained that when given a safe place to work, sex work is empowering for them. None of these girls looked or sounded like victims. So, back to the subject of my blog: How to get the best brothel experience in Melbourne? The second is equally apparent for those of us that have shopped around.
There are places, legal ones as well as the grotty illegals, that should not be operating and the best we can do is neither patronise them, nor encourage them by spending money and furthering the plight of those that work there. Ensuring patrons always get the best brothel experience is still a way off.
