The manager of a prominent European legal brothel has revealed an unexpected detail about the industry’s peak day of activity each year.
Catherine De Noire, the manager of one of the continent’s largest brothels, shared her insights about working in the sex industry during an exclusive interview with LADbible Stories.
She offered a glimpse into the lives of the escorts working at the establishment and discussed the variety of clients and their unusual requests.
Catherine noted the establishment’s high activity level, saying, “As there is no typical sex worker, there is no typical client. Every day we have between 500 and 1,000 people coming in.”
In a surprising disclosure, she mentioned that Valentine’s Day, February 14, is one of the brothel’s busiest times.
Contrary to the expectation that people seek romantic dates on Valentine’s Day, Catherine explained that many individuals look to her business for connection.
She added, “We have a lot of young guys coming in to lose their virginity. We have a lot of British groups, like party British groups, coming in.”
“We also have a lot of women coming in.
“We have people that are super successful, but they don’t have the time or energy to pick up girls.”
Catherine explained that busy clients often find it beneficial to engage professionals, as it suits their lifestyle.
“Sometimes we have married guys coming in and they’re like, ‘Yeah, it doesn’t work, the sex life, but I don’t want to find a mistress because I don’t want to break the relationship’. So this works the best for them,” she further explained.
The venue attracts individuals who are perhaps reserved or part of the LGBTQ+ community, seeking to explore their desires.
Catherine elaborated, “Sometimes we have women [who] are curious to try something with other girls but they are not sure about it. So they just come to our place.”
The brothel is inclusive, welcoming clients of various body types and abilities.
Catherine stated, “Sometimes we have disabled people because a lot of the sex workers are actually skilled in working with disabled; not everybody, but we do have some.”
She addressed the misconception that clients of escorts are ‘losers,’ clarifying that many are quite successful and have specific interests they may feel uncomfortable sharing with their partners due to fear of judgment.
This is particularly relevant for those interested in BDSM, who worry about its impact on their relationship dynamics.
“So they rather decide to pay a professional for those kind of services,” Catherine concluded.
