Police in the Bodenseekreis district are investigating a woman who is suspected of offering unprotected sex for money while being infected with HIV. Prosecutors have opened a case on charges of illegal prostitution and causing grievous bodily harm.
The suspicion grew stronger after investigators reviewed documents linked to the woman. Authorities have not confirmed how many clients may have been affected.
Prostitution Laws in Baden-Württemberg
Under state law, prostitution is banned in towns with fewer than 35,000 residents. Towns with up to 50,000 residents may apply for partial or full bans, creating so-called “Sperrbezirke.” In larger cities, prostitution cannot be completely forbidden.
Adult sex work is legal in Germany, but official numbers are limited. According to the Federal Statistical Office, about 30,600 sex workers were registered at the end of 2023.
The real number is likely far higher, as many remain unregistered. Roughly 80 percent of those listed do not hold German citizenship.
The Prostitute Protection Act of 2017 requires all sex workers to register, attend an information session, and take part in regular health counseling. People over 21 must attend counseling once a year, while those under 21 must attend every six months. HIV tests, however, are not mandatory.
Health Risks
Condoms remain the most effective protection against HIV and other sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia, according to health officials.
HIV weakens the immune system and spreads through contact with body fluids. If untreated, it can develop into AIDS, which leaves the body vulnerable to otherwise manageable illnesses.
Advocacy groups note that some sex workers are pressured or paid more to have sex without condoms, which increases the risk of transmission.
However unprotected sex is dangerous, Vienna is known of the fact, that many sex workers offer it. Read our article why they do this:
Austria has its own rules for sex work, with Vienna applying particularly strict health standards. Before being allowed to provide sexual services, sex workers must undergo an initial mandatory medical check-up. This includes a pap smear and a blood test. If no infection is found, the worker receives a health ID card (known as a Gesundheitsbuch), which must be carried at all times while working and shown to authorities upon request.
Follow-up health checks are required at least once every six weeks. A pap smear is conducted each time, while a blood test must be done at least every 12 weeks. Some federal states also require an annual chest X-ray to check for tuberculosis. These check-ups are free at local health offices.
Vienna also provides guidance on safe practices: sex workers are advised to use condoms and, for oral sex, either condoms or latex dental dams. Sex toys should be sanitized between uses, ideally with a condom.
Condoms alone do not guarantee full protection against pregnancy, so additional methods such as the pill, IUD, or contraceptive injection are recommended. If an accident occurs, the “morning after pill” is available without prescription at pharmacies and is effective if taken within 72 hours.
Authorities also highlight the mental health challenges linked to sex work. Many providers face discrimination and stigma. Counseling centers in Vienna offer free, confidential support, and workers can remain anonymous if they choose.
The Austrian and Viennese sex market is highly versatile, where we can find high-class sex clubs at the top and small and weak studios on the opposite end. There are also many sex workers who offer AO sex.
The best girls in the city never offer this, but there are many who do. In this article, you can read about the 5 most common reasons why sex workers provide sex without a condom. Additionally, we mention those sex studios that are well-known in the scene for providing this service.
Overview:
The 5 most common reasons why sex workers provide sex without a condom
The 5 most common reasons why sex workers provide sex without a condom
1. AO sex is forced by pimps
In the cheapest brothels of Vienna, you can often find sex workers who are supervised by pimps. The scenario is always the same: poor girls are lured with the promise of legal work or a better life in Eastern European countries, and then they are transferred to Austria.
After they arrive in the city, it turns out that the pimp is not friendly anymore, and the girls must work in shady and cheap sex studios. The owners of the studios are friends of the pimp, or at least they are friendly with them, so they continuously provide the studios with new girls. In such cases, the sex workers do what the pimps say, and one of the most important services in cheap studios is sex without a condom.
2. The high demand requires girls who offer sex without protection
Vienna is notorious for having sex studios where AO sex is available, so among the local punters, there are many guests from other places who are looking for this service. Additionally, there are many tourists traveling through Europe who are looking for AO sex in brothels. Thanks to the punter forums on the internet, they soon end up in a studio in Vienna, where their special needs are served.
Because there is a high demand for it, most of the sex workers can’t say no when it comes to providing this for clients.
Don’t miss our Twitter channel, where we post all of our newest content:
3. Sex workers must provide AO sex because other prostitutes also do this
This reason is somehow connected to the high demand but shows another aspect of the question. Because of the high demand, there are many sex workers in studios where AO sex is available. If a new girl joins the place, she literally does not have another chance but to also do the same; otherwise, the client will choose another woman.
Unfortunately, the cycle can’t be broken easily, as long as there are enough sex workers who provide unprotected sex, new girls will be pushed to do the same. And if they get on the train and provide it, there will never be a lack of them for future clients.
4. Less attractive and older women are forced to offer it
Obviously, there are other women working in the sex industry besides top models. The women in this scene are mostly everyday women, where you can find pretty ones and less attractive ones as well. We must acknowledge that girls with pretty faces or perfect bodies can be hired more easily in top-notch brothels. However, it is a big misconception that only the nicest ladies can have a good job in this industry; the best sex workers have to employ a lot of skills to be successful in the long run.
But it also happens often that less attractive women end up in shady studios, where they have to follow the other girls and provide AO services as well. Similarly, when a sex worker gets older, she has fewer possibilities in the sex industry because many customers are seeking young women. It is very important for sex workers to save money and make plans for their private life after their sex work. If they don’t take care of this, they can end up as AO sex workers in cheap studios.
5. Sex studios are in terrible areas where walk-in traffic is seeking AO sex
We should not underestimate the effect of the location; shady and poor studios are often located in the worst places of the city.
Their name, studio, also comes from the fact that many times they are former commercial places that went broke and were re-opened as cheap brothels.
The walk-in traffic in these geographical areas is very specific, and the guests are looking for special services. They are often not just looking for short, 15-minute, or 30-minute sessions, but AO sex as well. The ladies who work in such brothels do not have too many possibilities other than serving these needs.
Sex studios which offer AO sex
If we look at the current sex scene of Vienna, we can find a lot of sex studios that are infamous for hosting sex workers who provide sex without protection. It is not crazy to think that most of these ladies are forced to do this; however, in rare cases, very beautiful ladies also offer this service absolutely intentionally.
Here you can find a list of AO sex studios, one shadier than the other. The list is incomplete because there are more and more of them, and new places are opened continuously, most of them owned by Hungarian owners:
Romanian AO sex studios:
Studio Roxana
Studio Relaxe
Studio La Chica
Studio Mayergasse
Studio MGR + Felberstraße
Studio Amore Lounge
Bulgarian AO sex studios:
Studio Salzachstraße
Hungarian AO sex studios:
Studio Herbststraße
Studio Bäuerlegasse
Studio Safari in Obermüllnergasse
Studio Czerningasse
Studios Ignazgasse
Studios Nordwestbahnstraße
Studios AM TABOR
Conclusion
The very versatile sex scene in Vienna is home to many weak sex studios, which are known for providing AO sex. Among the list of them, we also covered the 5 most common cases why women work in such places:
The sex without protection is forced by a pimp.
There is a high demand for this service.
Sex workers must offer AO sex because other prostitutes also offer it.
Less attractive and older women often do not have another chance.
Sex studios are in bad neighborhoods where clients are seeking AO sex.
Here, at Sex Vienna, we strictly do not recommend our readers and other punters in Vienna to participate in AO sex with a sex worker. It is also prohibited in the best brothels in the city, to keep their girls and customers safe. Read our article where we listed the best places where AO sex is prohibited:
There are several pros and cons to choosing Booksusi. But lately, we have been hearing more and more issues when booking an indie girl on the site, and we have mentioned these concerns in our articles as well:
In this article, we will cover the top 5 reasons why Booksusi dates might end up in disaster and why it is better to choose a well-regulated and reliable sex club instead.
Top 5 reasons why you might go wrong when booking an indie escort girl on Booksusi
1. Providing sexual services in an apartment is illegal, and if you are caught red-handed at the scene by the police, you will get a huge fine. Additionally, after the police arrive, you will be escortedto the nearby police station, so there is a big risk that you can’t keep this a secret from your family, workplace, or other people.
The Police in Vienna and other cities often take action to find illegal prostitutes, as we reported in in this article or in this article.
2. The boyfriend or pimp usually lives with the girl in the same apartment. He will leave when you arrive, but you can bet that he is close by. He will check if you are not from the police and step in if something goes wrong. And you can also be sure that in case of any argument, he will appear and end the discussion in favor of the indie girl.
3. In most cases, you won’t get the correct address until you arrive at the building. Upon reaching the sex worker, you can only hope that she will still be reachable and you won’t have to go home without having intercourse. A huge number of dates get canceled as the girl simply ghosts the clients.
4. The pictures are very often not real or at least not current. Independent girls do not undergo quality checks as they work for themselves and don’t have reliable management behind the scenes.
It can happen that you will encounter a girl who is totally different from the one in the ad, sometimes much older or, to be honest, less attractive. And if not that, it also often happens that the used picture is a few years old.
Recently, we read forum posts where customers complained about a sex worker. She advertised herself with older images and in the meantime, she was already a few months pregnant. Clients were shocked when faced with the fact that the selected indie escort girl is pregnant and has a huge belly.
5. If things don’t go well or the girl provides fewer or different services, you absolutely don’t have anything in your hand to get compensation for the agreed-upon services. You can’t submit a complaint or ask for a refund after paying the girl upfront, and there is no management to help you.
You can write negative feedback about the girl on Booksusi, but these indie ladies often change their names or at least their profiles, so your feedback will disappear soon. And don’t forget, if you complain a lot, the pimp is nearby and will end the situation quickly, and you will find yourself out of the apartment immediately.
Changes in the legal environment
Since the beginning of June 2023, sex catalogs like Booksusi and other sites in Vienna are not allowed to show girls who advertise unprotected sexual services. Or to be precise, the sites can show the girls in the ads, but the sex workers may not clearly state on their profile that they are offering AO sex.
This can be a huge disadvantage for Booksusi, where customers were able to filter the girls by AO sex. From now on, the filter option is not available anymore.
For customers and girls, the new legal environment provides more safety. By prohibiting the advertisement of unprotected sex, the spread of sexually transmitted diseases can be more difficult. And until now, there was a huge pressure on girls to provide AO sex, just because a lot of customers were seeking this filter in catalogs, and if the sex workers did not offer this, they would not show up in search results.
Why choose a well-regulated sex club
1. Choosing a reliable and well-regulated sex club has many advantages over independent sex workers. First of all, these brothels are highly regulated and supervised by authorities, so all the girls must have legal work permits and undergo regular health checks.
2. There is a professional staff behind all the best sex clubs in Vienna, who can be reached in case of disputes, and they work on providing the best services to customers. In case there is an issue with the sex worker, you can always ask for help from the staff, and if your claim is legitimate, you might get a refund or other type of compensation.
3. The best sex clubs in Vienna maintain an up-to-date website, and especially the top clubs like Maxim Wien show their lineup’s availability with real photos. This way you can easily check most of the lineup on the website and get information about who is available at night and who is not.
4. There are no upsells in the best brothels; the prices are clear and in case you want any extra services, you can discuss it with the girl upfront freely. In the end, you can be sure that you will pay what you agreed upon, without hidden fees or additional charges.
5. If the atmosphere and interior are important to you, then the best night clubs are light years better than indie escort girls. In a club, you will find clean and nice, often luxurious interior, with good music, a bar area, and comfortable chairs.
6. You can take your time to find the best girls, without time pressure, and if you leave the place without spending a single cent on sexual services, no one will blame or hurt you.
7. Last but not least, the high-class Viennese sex clubs can pick the best and most skilled girls from the applicants, so you can be sure that these ladies are good in conversations, offer great companionship, and speak many languages.
If you want to spend a good night in a safe and top-notch environment, then the best sex clubs in Vienna are clearly the best option for you.
AO sex is the abbreviation for Sex without Condom and it comes from the German phrase Alles Ohne. Many Viennese sex studios offer this service for a low price because it attracts a lot of clients to their business. The guys who are interested in AO sex don’t care about the risk of STDs, they just want cheap unprotected sex.
It’s good for the studio, it’s good for the clients so
what’s the problem with it? First off, it’s definitely not good for the girls
because they are risking their health for a small amount of extra cash.
Secondly, it is one of the reasons why an increasing number of people are
getting infected by HIV.
It is important to understand that sex without condom doesn’t guarantee you a better experience and that cheap services are almost never good. In fact, the clubs that offer AO in Vienna are the most run down, most desperate places in the city. The girls literally hate to work in these studios.
A decent club or brothel in Vienna is never going to offer AO. Do yourself a favor and go to one of the reputable clubs that guarantee you a great experience. There are plenty of those too and even though they might cost more, you are definitely not going to regret it.
At least the price structure is crystal clear at every one of the better places and they are completely safe. Also, the girls go through regular health checks and they have all the papers required to work legally in Vienna.
Clubs where AO Sex is forbidden
Now we are going to introduce to the best clubs in Vienna
that don’t allow AO sex:
1. Maxim Wien
Maxim Wien offers you an outstanding sexclub and nightclub experience. Good vibes, beautiful girls and great atmosphere all at one place. There are plenty of girls to choose from and each of them will pamper you like a king. Their system is based on a professional model that benefits the girls, the clients and the club as well.
The girls at Maxim Wien are easy-going so it is straightforward to negotiate the price and the services you want with them. Once you enter the room with the girl, you leave all your worries outside and the fun begins. Some of the ladies have been working there for years and they absolutely love it.
The lineup often expands with new and exciting girls. If you follow the Maxim Wien website, you can catch the new galleries showing the stunning new girls who recently joined the club. There were even pornstars working there who also performed on some of the main party events of the club!
In
Maxim, AO sex is completely out of the question. Choose one of the beautiful
and talented girls from the Maxim gallery and give it a try!
2. Goldentime
Goldentime is the best saunaclub you can go to in Vienna. This place has been ahead of its competition for years and it probably will be for many years to come. You can always find a new hot lady in this relaxing and luxurious establishment.
The food is great, the women are great and although Goldentime is more on the expensive side, the experience is worth the money. If carefreely walking around in slippers and a towel around beautiful girls is your type of thing, then we definitely recommend you to try this saunaclub.
At Goldentime saunaclub, the girls follow strict rules and AO sex is far from being included in their services. No matter when you visit the club, there are dozens of hot girls to choose from. Blondes with big naturals, redheads with long legs, brunettes with pornstar bodies, you name it.
You can comfortably chit-chat with the girls, talk about the
prices and take them to the room for a good time. Is this the type of place you
are looking for? Go ahead and give it a try, we can only recommend it.
3. Fun Palast
Although not as good as Goldentime, Funpalast is another great FKK saunaclub we can recommend you to visit. There is no AO sex on the menu and the club offers beautiful girls who provide good service. It is another place where the price to quality ratio will greatly benefit you.
As you might suppose, Funpalast is cheaper than Goldentime. Food, soft drinks and a half hour session with one girl are all included in the entry fee. It has a big backyard where you can lay back, have a drink and enjoy the company of the girls.
Besides the saunaclub being a decent looking place, the girls walking around almost naked make the atmosphere even more exciting. The saunaclub etiquette applies to Funpalast too. The gentlemen join the girls with a towel around their waist.
You, as a guest, can freely take advantage of everything the
saunaclub has to offer. You can relax and take your time until you find the
perfect girl, negotiate the price and then she will walk you to one of the
rooms.
4. Studio Simply Top
Studio Simply Top is a place that offers you an authentic brothel experience. It’s where you can space out, forget your problems and feel at home. Simply Top has a unique atmosphere where you can spend plenty of pleasurable hours with beautiful ladies.
You can make an
appointment with any one of the stunning ladies available on the website and
have a great time with her in this discrete studio. This is the place where you
don’t need to hold back your erotic fantasies any more.
This is the kind of guilty pleasure that no one will find out. Discretion is one of the main pillars that Simply Top is built on. The place maintained its well-thought-out system for more than 10 years. As a result, you can rarely find a complaint about Simply Top and the girls also love to work there.
Even though it has been around for more than a decade, they
have never included AO sex in their services. The studio is quite flexible with
the ladies so the lineup is frequently changing, yet you can always find
numerous beautiful and confident girls there.
5. Studio SexyHexi
The best thing about SexyHexi is that the owners have a lot of experience in the Vienna paysex scene. They know exactly how to make the studio a great place for their clients and the girls as well. One of the owners is a woman who worked as a high-class prostitute for many years.
The girls who work at SexyHexi get all the advice they need for providing an outstanding service. The studio is also rather picky about the girls, as you can find some of the hottest ladies there. Stunning beauties from Slovakia, Hungary, Russia, Czech Republic and, of course, Romania are all there.
Don’t expect a huge studio, it is actually quite small but
their rooms are always properly cleaned and furnished with style and comfort in
mind. The rooms are dim with smal
sources of light here and there to set the atmosphere for a pleasant
experience.
6. Emotion Wellness
Emotion Wellness falls under the massage studio category and currently it is the best one in Vienna. Sometimes there is nothing better than the combination of a good massage and sex. Some of the girls that worked there previously worked at Maxim, Babylon and Goldentime, which says a lot.
Although the lineup is changing at Emotion Wellness, there
are always a handful of beautiful girls working there. You can have a hot girl
for a decent price and it is really a relaxing and comfortable studio to be at.
Their bright and well-decorated rooms make you feel like you are at a luxurious
massage parlor.
And you indeed are, except that it’s not an ordinary massage parlor. Most importantly, it is all clean and well-maintained which is unfortunately not a standard that many Viennese studios follow. Now Emotion Wellness is divided into two studios, Studio Noir and Studio Rouge.
As you can see on their website, there are plenty of hot girls that can be booked in duos or even trios. If you are looking for the ultimate massage parlor experience, we can only recommend you to visit.
The Club where AO Sex is a Privilege, not a Red Flag
Once we are here, we have to mention one of the most expensive clubs in Vienna: Babylon. This elite place is the exception to the rule. If you are rich and powerful enough, then you can get the luxury of including AO sex in the experience there.
However, AO sex is not what Babylon is known for. People go there because they can meet beautiful girls who provide outstanding services. If you go there with the purpose of having sex without condom, then you picked the wrong place.
The girls there won’t openly offer AO sex for you. This is not the place where offering such service makes the girl more valuable. If you are a high-status individual willing to spend a significant amount there, then you can request it and they will probably say yes.
There are many studios that started offering AO services in Vienna. The reason why this is happening is simple. Sex studios are in high demand by the clients because the clients are looking for AO service at a low price and this is exactly what AO Sex Studios are delivering.
AO services in Vienna and their effect on the sex scene
The fact that there are Sex Studios offering AO service is affecting the sex pay scene in Vienna, and not in a good way. Clients want more and more for less money. This results in 15 minutes bookings offered almost everywhere now, in all Laufhauses and Sex Studios.
FKK Clubs and Sex Nightclubshave stayed clear from the 15 minutes bookings (maybe some smaller and cheaper clubs like Kontaktcafé have the 15 mins option) so far by keeping their prices consistent and still attractive for the long term.
This way, the clubs have made it easy for their sexworkers to make due in rough times (Maxim and FKK Goldentime are a perfect example). Babylon is also a fine example, however they are in a higher price segment which makes them vulnerable to a decrease in clients.
But how is the AO service affecting girls?
Many girls begin to work in a Sex Studio and don’t offer AO service at first. This is due to obvious reasons (health mostly) but in time they cave in and offer AO anyways. This has a lot to do with the pressure of not having enough bookings unless they offer AO.
Here are some clubs where girls start without offering AO services in Vienna but eventually cave in:
Studio Stolberggasse
Studio La Chica
Studio Haberlgasse 71
A lot of pretty girls start to work in these 3 Sex Studios clear of AO service. Unfortunately, they eventually have to offer it in order to make more money. One example is Nataly – who started AO-free in her first 1-2 years of work but had to turn in 2012.
Roxana from one of the studios mentioned above, Haberlgasse, started to offer AO very recently – http://www.studio71wien.at/Roxana/ . Same studio, Kristina also caved in and offered AO service – http://www.studio71wien.at/Kristina/.
More money with AO service?
Yes, in general girls can make more money from offering AO service. But at what cost? Offering AO service can often affect the girls’ health, mind and sometimes even dignity.
And although it would be easier for the girls to move from the studio where everyone’s offering AO to another one that’s AO-free, the money they can earn by offering AO is too tempting.
For example, Nataly, the girl we mentioned before, tried to switch a couple of times already – she worked in LH Vienna, here’s a review we did on her a while back https://sex-vienna.com/2012/07/27/natalie-in-laufhaus-vienna-triesterstrasse/ – but despite her attempts, she always ends up in Studio La Chica which can mean only one thing: the total amount of money she makes in La Chica by offering AO is way higher than what she can make in other places without AO.
Effect of AO on Vienna as a sexworking place
More and more girls offer AO services in Vienna. Does it also affect the other ones that stayed true to themselves? Or more importantly, does it affect girls that were considering Vienna as a workplace?
Yes and yes! The girls that didn’t offer AO service until this point, will most likely cave in to the pressure. If they are not earning enough money, they start to offer AO at some point. Also, the increase in girls offering AO service is making Vienna a much less attractive city to work in for the girls who prefer to stay free of AO and work clean as well as safe.
Therefore, we can see a trend of beautiful girls who choose to skip working in the very livable city of Vienna. They believe that the AO-offering girls are cornering their pay sex market and destroying the prices as well as the overall feel and reputation of the industry itself.
Girls predicted to offer AO service in the immediate future
There’s also a high possibility that other girls will soon follow the example set by many sexworkers in Sex Studios and offer AO service. Loly from Studio La Chica – same studio as Nataly – (http://www.la-chica.at/index.php?p=1_37_Loly) might take the same road Nataly did and begin to offer AO service.
Another girl that we predict to offer AO soon is Claudia – from Studio Relaxe: http://www.studiorelaxe.at/index.php?p=1_17_Claudia.
Although not sure at the moment, Alessia might also begin to offer AO service soon – http://www.kontaktbazar.at/kbaz-details.php?id=5576.
Despite the growing number of girls offering AO service and of AO Sex Studios, there are still good sex clubs and sex systems in Vienna. Maxim, Goldentime, Babylon – in which girls can work and keep their dignity intact.
