The term ‘brothel’ is often used to describe an establishment that sells sex, but within that umbrella term there are various types of services on offer and ways in which this is sold. Here we are going to take you through a couple of the ways in which sex is sold, and whether or not it is legal. This is important to understand because the last thing that any customer wants is to be prosecuted because they were seeking out a little pleasure. From a licensed brothel to an escort service, here are some of the sex services on offer here in Melbourne.
Registered Brothel
If you do wish to escape the mundanity of real life and have some fun for a while, visiting a Melbourne brothel is a great idea. You should know that not only is selling sex through a brothel legal in the city, it is also something which is heavily regulated. What this means for you is that you can have absolute confidence in your safety, security and hygiene. For many, a brothel is the best option when they are looking for a good time.
Escort Services
You may find that a licensed brothel will also offer escort services, which is paying for someone to accompany you for the evening. Now it should be noted that whilst many escorts do and can legally offer sexual services, they can also be used to accompany you to an event or simply to provide you with some company. Some escorts work independently whereas others may look to work in the brothel and offer this service as an additional stream of income.
Private Contact
Throughout certain areas of the city you may find fliers and cards which have someone’s number on it, who is selling sex. In this instance you will simply contact them, work out their rates and arrange a place in which to meet. You should know that this is also perfectly legal and whilst they may not work in a brothel they are absolutely allowed to sell this service to you. If you feel more comfortable in a dedicated setting then going to a brothel may be a better option for you.
Street Seller
Oddly enough since sex work was legalised in Victoria, we have seen far fewer ladies on the street offer sexual services. Having said this there are still some zones around Melbourne where you will see sex workers plying their trade. Often they will suggest a local hotel where you can go, alternatively you may wish to spend time with them in your own accommodation. This is also legal but harder to regulate which is why you should take care when soliciting a sex worker on the street. This is not to say that there is a risk, but for your own general safety you should approach with a little bit more caution than if you were inside a brothel.
There are multiple forums and business pages online that you can check out to find more information about sex worker in Melbourne, but the most important thing you should know is that it is completely legal and heavily regulated, maximizing your security and safety.
