These brothels are not as good for women
FKK sauna clubs and classic sex clubs are two of the best brothel types in Vienna, each of them having their pros and cons as well. The same is true for sex workers, who can find a totally different approach in these places regarding how management handles and helps their workers.
In this article, you can read about five huge disadvantages of being a sex worker in an FKK sauna club in Vienna compared to doing this type of work in the best classic sex clubs in the city:
- Sex workers should pay a high entry fee every day in sauna clubs
- Too much competition
- FKK sauna clubs are flesh markets in reality
- Limited help with marketing
- No online profiles for clients
Disadvantage 1: Sex workers should pay a high entry fee every day in sauna clubs
One big problem with FKK sauna clubs is that sex workers have to pay a high entry fee just to work there. This fee, usually paid daily, can range from affordable to very expensive, depending on the club’s location and reputation. For workers, this fee is a gamble—if it’s a slow day and there aren’t many clients, they might leave without making enough money to cover the cost.
In sex clubs, workers often don’t have to pay such high fees, or sometimes no fees at all. This makes FKK sauna clubs riskier, especially for new workers who are just starting out. The high fee also puts a lot of pressure on workers to find clients quickly, which can be stressful and lead to burnout over time.
For example, sex workers must pay a EUR 90 entry fee in Goldentime Vienna every day they work there. In comparison, in the two most prestigious classic sex clubs in the city, Maxim Wien and Babylon, the girls don’t have to pay anything, so they can start their careers more easily.

Disadvantage 2: Too much competition
Another downside is that FKK sauna clubs are usually packed with workers, all competing for the same clients. This makes it hard for any one person to stand out, no matter how skilled or experienced they are. Because the girls also pay an entry fee every day, the management of a sauna club is interested in having as many girls there as possible.
In sex clubs, there are fewer girls, and the sex workers often have more chances to show their personalities and unique qualities. There are strict rules about how the girls can work next to each other professionally, keeping the classic sex club experience alive and maintaining high quality.
While the competition can cause too much stress for girls in sauna clubs, they can work with less stress in sex clubs.

Disadvantage 3: FKK sauna clubs are flesh markets in reality
At FKK sauna clubs, workers are expected to walk around naked or almost naked to attract clients. While this fits the club’s relaxed spa-like theme, it can feel uncomfortable or even humiliating for some workers.
The situation in such clubs resembles a flesh market, where only physical characteristics are primarily important. If you have skills other than a very good body or big breasts, you are less likely to be booked by clients.
In sex clubs, workers usually get to wear outfits that make them feel confident and express their personal style. These clubs focus on the experience, where the girls can show their unique style in dressing, hairstyles, footwear, and even dancing on the stage. Clients can relax in the community area with the girls, drinking quality champagnes and spirits, and as the evening progresses, they can continue in the rooms. This is more than just sex—it is a complete package of emotions, relaxation, and fun.
Disadvantage 4: Limited help with marketing
Good marketing is important for sex workers to find clients and build a reputation. However, FKK sauna clubs usually don’t help with this. While we know a few very successful sauna clubs with superior marketing and management, such as Wellcum or Andiamo in Villach, the situation in Vienna is much worse.
The most well-known FKKs in Vienna, like Goldentime or Fun Palast, have very weak websites, and although they have worked on their social media presence in recent years, they are still weaker than their biggest sex club competitors.
Without marketing support, it’s harder for workers to grow their client base. They’re left to do all the work on their own, which can take up a lot of time and energy. Sex clubs that help promote workers make it easier for them to get noticed and feel appreciated.
For example, Maxim Wien was one of the early adopters in the Vienna sex scene that started professional marketing on the internet. By now, this club has developed a know-how that is often copied by competitors, including its up-to-date website and social media channels like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
Disadvantage 5: No online profiles for clients
These days, having an online presence is a big deal. Many sex clubs let clients browse online profiles to pick workers they’d like to meet. This helps workers show off their personalities and special skills to attract the right clients.
But FKK sauna clubs usually don’t offer this option. Clients have to choose workers in person, which can limit opportunities for both sides. Workers lose the chance to stand out online, and clients might miss out on finding someone who really matches their preferences.
We often see punters discussing the newest girls in sauna clubs on punter forums, which is less effective but remains the only chance to get information about sex workers who work there. On the other hand, classic sex clubs often have very detailed sections on their websites, showing the girls’ services, high-quality pictures, and availability. After the best sex clubs set this standard, we now see it adopted by smaller sex clubs and even other brothel types, like Laufhauses or studios.
Conclusion
While FKK sauna clubs have spread worldwide and arrived in Vienna to provide customers with a new style of paid sex, they have clear downsides for sex workers.
High entry fees, tough competition, a flesh market atmosphere, no marketing support, and the lack of online profiles all make these clubs less worker-friendly.
Sex workers should think carefully about these challenges when deciding where to work. Some may enjoy the unique approach of an FKK sauna club, but others might prefer the support and stability of a traditional sex club. In the end, choosing the right place means putting personal comfort, safety, and success first.
