Times have changed, especially after COVID-19, so we’ve added some updated advice. In this article, you can read 5 classic guidelines and 2 more, which have become important in our post-COVID era.

  1. Respect personal and professional boundaries
  2. Discuss the sexual services and prices clearly
  3. Practice good hygiene
  4. Be punctual and polite
  5. Follow the house rules of the brothel
  6. Be careful with digital privacy

1. Respect personal and professional boundaries

The most important rule is respecting the boundaries of sex workers. Treat them kindly and professionally. Don’t ask personal questions like their real name or private details, and never ask for services they don’t offer.

Always remember that sex workers are professionals who deserve the same respect as anyone providing a service.

Treating them with dignity helps create a comfortable environment for everyone. Because of this, clear boundaries create a better atmosphere and ensure mutual respect.

You should understand that these women are working to cover their everyday life expenses. This is very similar to what you do for your living, just in another profession. Don’t forget that they are not your girlfriend; they provide high-class sexual services for men.

2. Discuss the sexual services and prices clearly

Always agree on services and prices before anything happens. This avoids confusion and keeps things respectful. Be clear and polite when asking questions, and make sure both you and the sex worker understand what’s being agreed to.

This also helps avoid any awkwardness later. If you are uncertain about anything, don’t hesitate to ask questions—professionals prefer clarity. A mutual understanding of expectations ensures that both parties are satisfied with the experience.

This guideline also helps you find out if a sex worker is shady and likely to upsell you. All professional women will discuss the details beforehand. If a sex worker wants to do this differently, it’s a clear sign that you will be overbilled.

3. Practice good hygiene

Being clean is not just polite—it’s expected. Shower, groom, and wear clean clothes before visiting. Many brothels offer places to freshen up, so use them if needed.

Poor hygiene might lead to refusal of service, so always make an effort to look and smell your best.

Taking care of your personal hygiene is not only respectful but also enhances the overall experience for both you and the sex worker. This is one of the simplest ways to show consideration.

Good hygiene is also something that distinguishes high-class brothels from cheap ones.

You will always find at least a shower in the best places’ rooms, but they also often provide high-quality rooms with jacuzzis.

If you don’t find at least a shower, it’s a strong sign that you should leave immediately. Not just for your sake, but because the sex worker likely hasn’t had the chance to properly freshen up after the last customer.

The poor hygiene is one of the worst things in cheaper brothels, including the studios. Read our list about the worst places in the city:

4. Be punctual and polite

Show respect by arriving on time for your appointment. If you’re late or need to cancel, let the brothel know as soon as possible.

Always be friendly and polite in your interactions. Rude behavior can ruin the experience and may even get you banned. Punctuality is a sign of respect for the time and effort of the sex worker. Additionally, being polite and courteous goes a long way in ensuring a positive and professional interaction.

We are all human beings. Remember that you can buy sex for money, but you can’t buy real kindness and care for your euros. If you ruin the sex date by being late or rude, it will always affect your experience. Don’t be the enemy of your own pleasure!

5. Follow the house rules of the brothel

Every brothel has rules to keep things safe and professional. These might cover behavior, payment methods, or boundaries.

Learn these rules when you arrive and follow them. Breaking the rules can lead to being asked to leave or not being allowed back. Taking the time to understand and follow these rules shows that you respect the establishment and the people who work there. It also ensures a smoother experience for everyone involved.

The best high-class brothels always protect their girls, even if you are packed with money. The girls are the foundation of this business, and if a brothel handles them poorly, sooner or later, the girls will leave. The place will develop a bad reputation, deterring new talent from applying to work there.

It’s better for you, the girls, and the brothel itself if you follow the rules and enjoy the world-class sex.

+1. Be careful with digital privacy

Technology has changed how brothels operate, with digital payments and online bookings becoming common. Protect everyone’s privacy by never sharing photos, names, or any details about your visit on social media or elsewhere.

Keep all transactions discreet and secure to ensure everyone’s safety. Maintaining privacy is crucial not only for your own security but also for protecting the identities and reputations of the sex workers and the establishment. Always prioritize discretion in all digital interactions.

Because of this rule, in most cases, you are not permitted to use your phone to record the girls’ shows or the interior areas of the brothels. If a girl explicitly allows you to record her in the private room, you will need to pay extra. But still, always discuss with the sex worker how you can use the recordings and where you can share them.

+2. Don’t visit if you’re sick

Health is more important than ever. If you feel sick, have symptoms, or are recovering from something contagious, don’t go to a brothel. This keeps everyone safe, including workers, clients, and staff.

Many brothels have health checks now, and it’s important to follow them. Prioritizing health shows that you care about the well-being of others. By staying away when unwell, you contribute to a safer and healthier environment for everyone.

In the current post-COVID era, everyone will look askance at you if you sneeze even once. The coronavirus lockdown hit the sex industry hard, and the memories are still fresh. Be sure to follow this rule strictly, or you could face very unpleasant moments in any type of brothel.

Why these rules are important

Brothels rely on trust, respect, and professionalism. By following these guidelines, clients help create a better, safer experience for everyone involved. Ignoring the rules can lead to misunderstandings or even being turned away. Respecting digital privacy and health measures shows you care about modern standards, making brothels a more respectful and professional space for all.

By focusing on respect, clear communication, and understanding, clients ensure that brothels remain spaces where everyone can feel safe and valued. Whether it’s maintaining hygiene, being on time, or adhering to house rules, each action demonstrates a commitment to professionalism and mutual respect. These small steps make a big difference in creating a positive environment for everyone involved, and they are also fundamental to having a very good sexual experience.
