Funny stories/Has anyone ever thought of starting a brothel?

[sirdanglyballs]

I like to write and thought it would be a good idea for a novel. Innocent guy just divorced from his first/only girlfriend gets into punting and for whatever reason decides to try and start a brothel. Could make for a very funny sexy tv series. So I’m wondering if anyone has funny/memorable punting stories or details about running a brothel/what issues could arise. For example; I had a friend who started a tattoo shop in west Sydney get threatened by bikies for opening on their territory, is the sex industry similar? Does the owner try the girls out?

[OLD SNAKE]

first thing i would do is read up on the NSW Brothel Regulations,
than check with local council regulations
than make shore you meet all the regulations before you apply for a licence,

also i found out a Small (1 or 2 sex workers) brothels are exempt from holding a licence but must register with the BLA and hold a local council planning permit. Advertising is legal with the licence number given by the BLA. Operating an unlicensed brothel and soliciting in a public place are illegal. local council planning approval.7 Aug 2015
that's why you find a lot of massage shops next to train stations only have 2 girls working.

lets look at the negatives, girls not turning up to shifts, extortion from gangsters, violent punters, getting robbed, constantly being inspected to make shore you are not breaking any of the regulations and getting fined or shut down.
in terms of the business being profitable for the owner, it depends on the set up costs, rent, and daily expenses, location and compertition,
also dealing with the girls mentality when they don't want to sleep with a punter but complain they don't make any money.
in terms of the business being fun and games, i think the novelty will wear off very quickly especially when it comes down to your financial future being put at risk,

so overall i can think of other business to set up without the dramas,

I get the impression that it's easier to set up a massage shop than a brothel. What do you reckon?

Buy an existing licensed brothel that is badly run but in a good location
Then look for a well connected very good manager ( Jesse ex 42g) and pay them well
Computer system... CCTV...market it properly
Look after the girls....they'll look after the punters

Brothel owner/manager would be one of the most stressful jobs there is.

But OP is asking for ideas to write a book/comedy series.

There was a thread on this last year

Someone was planning to start a brothel and was in the look out of acquiring an existing premises. There were lot of suggestions on that thread!

[OLD SNAKE]

labia Vortex has a great idea, but you still need to go through all the proper procedures to become the licence holder and don't forget the ATO guidelines you need to follow too

Isn't there a thread about "craziest / weirdest thing that happened to you in a brothel" or something like that from a few months ago?

How about a scenario where he's recruiting some sex workers, and they're all very un-motivated and plain, and he's forced to go shopping for make-up and sexy lingerie...
First client rolls in, looks at the sub-par line up and decides to walk.
He tries persuade him to take a punt, eventually paying for the guy to root the girl. Guy looks at girl and looks at him. Questions whether he'd root the girl. He looks apologetically at the girl and concedes that he wouldn't.

Made me laugh, thanks!

Remember years ago when the kids store Toys"R"us finally opened in Australia, after being huge in the U.S. I was watching an Aussie movie and 2 guys were discussing potential names for a brothel if they ever went into that line of business. One suggestion was Cunts"R"us.
For some reason, that is the only bit in the whole movie that I can recall. 😀

Can you find it and post a link?

[Ziggurat]

Can you find it and post a link?

I'm certain there was a thread on that subject relatively recently. It is in the OP's interests to look for it himself, my own search skills and the notoriously dodgy search function on this site aren't up to it.

[woodland]

It is well compensated. I reckon you'd make north of a 1mil opening one.

When I was younger, I tried making an "uber for escorts" app with some friends. We got pretty far, connected with some people in the industry but in the end it went no where.

In my own frustration of trying to find attractive WL/MLs, I have recently thought about building an index site of the brothels in Sydney. It's supposed to feature WL/ML reviews, comments, etc but I know no one will use it. I'm also a terrible designer which doesn't help.

I made a demo homepage here if you're curious https://brothelpages.com/sydney/home

[OLD SNAKE]

Coco Paper basically girls don't like paying commission for bookings, because they could advertise for free on Gumtree and Australian Craigslist at the time,
in terms of outcalls, the girls used Silver Service Taxis and if they worked for an agency they had cab charge, but now they just use one of the ride share apps,

You reckon ?

I’ have a drink with 1 owner occasionally , early this year I was asked if I wanted to buy in. Smaller brothel typically 4-6 on roster . Mix of mainly lovely thai, some nice though sub par Oz born women and occasionally more Recently, African /Indian .

The take for each partner was 200k. The girls, were making a lot more.

So did you take up the offer? If so, why and if not, why?

partner who wanted out … was asking for 500k for 50% share. Given the inherent biz risk, lack of marketing , a worn Fitout , Covid , staff shortages and issue in recruiting , would you think the arm chair valuation makes sense and their books were as you would expect larfable

The real books or the fudged books? So you put in 500K for a 50% share and your take is 200K per year? PM me his details please.

Lol . You forgot to add your working hours . And their estimate based on only 1 good year in 3 .

Sure knock yourself out

The sourcing of girls from the Orient is key. That's how shops like Ginza made it.

That and there are recruitment agents operating in Australia plus the ML/WL gets a few hundred dollars for introducing their ML/WL friends.

so finding girlson gumtree and craigslist? locanto seems worst unlike before able to find someone for a quicky nearby or council areas...

I heard MLs bringing their friends to shops where they work. The shop surely must give them an introduction commission/bonus as an incentive to bring in more girls.

Opening a brothel is relative easy going through license and designing a brothel the hardest part is in actually sourcing your "talent" and know how to manage and cycle them, how to find new ones which can attract new customers.

Not really, you just need a few scouts overseas that source them for you.

They often bring along their sisters and cousins too!

[apokalypse]
