• One third of the sex businesses and registered sex workers disappeared after the COVID pandemic

    One third of the sex businesses and registered sex workers disappeared after the COVID pandemic

    The Der Standard published a few days ago a long article about illegal apartment prostitution in Vienna and also showed interesting facts about the pre- and post-COVID sex scene in the city. In this article, we summarize the article’s facts and also mention warnings about the high risk of being an illegal prostitute in the Austrian capital.

    An example of illegal prostitution in Vienna – Hungarian sex worker provides sex a few days a week, from an apartment

    The article starts with an example of illegal apartment prostitution, where a Hungarian woman rents an apartment for a few weekdays and provides sex for eight clients a day. Because most of her clients have families, she accepts them during the early afternoon hours.

    This solution is quite convenient for her; she has her own life in Budapest and she offers sex in Vienna when she wants.

    She already has clientele, so her calendar is filled up upfront and she can freely reject the shadier men of her own will.

    The Der Standard also mentions the fact, which we have already highlighted many times, that providing sex from apartments in Vienna is not just illegal, but can be very dangerous to women.

    The situation drastically changed with the COVID pandemic

    Illegal prostitution boomed since the pandemic; the local Police authorities had only 40 cases in 2019, but 867 in 2021. In 2023, they had 614 cases and this year, until May, 328 cases. Before COVID, there were around 800 red-light businesses in Austria; currently, there are about 550. The number of registered sex workers in the country dropped from 8,000 to 5,000.

    While a lot of brothels closed their doors because of COVID, illegal apartment prostitution also caused significant loss of business. A lot of missing sex workers from the stats might work illegally from apartments because, in many cases, it is more lucrative for them. They often don’t pay taxes, don’t have a license from the police, regular health checks, and they also don’t need to pay the costs of a legal business.

    The newspaper mentions the winners of this situation: the ad portals where the girls are advertising their illegal services. The market leader Booksusi, for example, closed with 107,000 euros in 2019, while this amount increased to 1.2 million euros in the 2022 financial year.

    Booksusi can be dangerous for the clients as well, read our article how the women can cheat the customers using this ad portal:

    These are the methods how girls cheat you on Booksusi

    It is not worth working illegally

    As the newspaper shows in its articles, the fines for sex workers can range from 200 to 1,000 euros, and for the apartment landlord or owner, between 400 and 1,000 euros. The police investigate reports found online, and undercover officers conduct checks after making contact.

    However, these fines can be paid relatively easily and show no real retentiveness for illegal sex workers. There are other aspects of illegal work, which can cause much more difficulties and threats than fines from the authorities.

    Working alone in the night scene, and especially illegally, makes the women extra vulnerable. Most of the clients know that these girls literally don’t have help in case of argument and brutality.

    The reasons are clear: no one wants to get in trouble with the authorities because of the illegal work, so the sex workers can trust only in the clients’ honesty and self-restraint.

    And this trust is very unstable; every year a lot of cases become known to authorities, where sex workers were attacked or even killed.

    And these are just the most serious cases; there are many more unreported cases where the girls are forced to provide unwanted services or they are beaten, kicked, or insulted otherwise.

    There are a lot of safe brothels in Vienna

    Vienna has a very diverse sex scene and this is true for the brothels as well. There are different kinds of places which are continuously looking for new talents. Sauna clubs and classic nightclubs are considered the safest brothels in the city; however, the sauna club business model does not fit everyone.

    The high-class nightclubs, however, have high-quality clientele, professional management and staff, and they are located in the best spots of the city. These places have security guards which deter shady clients, and the rooms are equipped with alarm systems so the girls can ask for help in case of emergency.

    The sex workers can also earn good money and build up a loyal client base as well. As a plus, these places often offer escort services in Vienna, which can be another income for the women.

  • Hungarian band sentenced to a total of 30 years in prison for robbing elderly men

    Hungarian band sentenced to a total of 30 years in prison for robbing elderly men

    The Vienna Regional Court concluded a trial on Monday, sentencing two prostitutes and their accomplice to long prison terms for a series of robberies targeting elderly, single men. From late September to late November 2023, the group arranged sex meetings through dating platforms and robbed their victims during house escort.

    They got a total of 30 years in prison

    A 43-year-old woman received an eight-year sentence, a 28-year-old woman was sentenced to nine years, and a 53-year-old man, who organized the crimes, was given a 13-year sentence. As the judge said, the crimes were carefully planned and they were committed in order to rip off the clients instead of providing the ordered sexual services.

    The sentences are final, and both the prosecutor and the defense accepted them. The sentences were for multiple counts of aggravated robbery and criminal association. The defendants got serious punishment because they targeted elderly men and the 28-year-old woman and the man already had similar previous criminal records.

    The Hungarian gang used fake profiles on dating platforms, showing much younger, attractive women. In six cases, the two women visited their victims together, while in four cases the 43-year-old woman was alone.

    When they worked in pairs, one of them distracted the client’s attention, while the other girl searched the rooms and took the valuables. In one case, they even stole a 60-kg safe.

    During their activities, they stole cash and jewelry worth around 70,000 euros. They worked in Vienna, Linz, Wels, and villages in Burgenland.

    They also robbed the well-known Viennese burglar Ernst Walter Stummer

    As an interesting fact, the well-known Viennese burglar Ernst Walter Stummer was also one of their victims. The two women robbed him on October 4, 2023.

    One of the women distracted the interest of the 85-year-old man, while the other woman put a drug in his champagne. After he fell asleep, the two women found only 50 euros and a wristwatch.

    We already reported on this case earlier, when the trial started.

    As we mentioned, the gang also lived in a complicated relationship with each other. The 53-year-old man had a relationship with the younger woman since 2018. In 2022, he moved to Linz with the other woman, but shortly afterward, the younger woman also followed them, and they lived together.

    At the beginning of the trial, the young woman was pregnant by the 53-year-old man.

    A few months ago, a gang controlled the profiles on Booksusi, creating many fake profiles. The profiles advertised “party girls,” often using the same images. With only a few minutes of searching, we were able to find 12 fake profiles. The details on these profiles contained total nonsense, including the girls’ heights, weights, and breast sizes, which did not match the provided pictures. In our article, we questioned how such a large number of fake profiles remained active on Booksusi, but after a period of time, all of them disappeared.

    In another case, a Sex Vienna Forum user sent us a warning about a Hungarian gang scamming users on Booksusi. In that case, the girls visited the customer, asked for the money upfront, and while the customer took a shower, they left with the money without providing any services. In some cases, other valuables also disappeared with the girls. Read the story here: Sex Vienna Forum user provides warning about scam on Booksusi website

    Prostitutes drug and rob clients

    Two women and a man are in court in Vienna for drugging and robbing clients. The two women, who worked as prostitutes, and their 53-year-old partner, are accused of carrying out these crimes over a long period.

    According to the Vienna public prosecutor, the group targeted older, single men through online dating and escort sites. They used fake names like “Romana,” “Miranda,” and “Julianna,” and the women met the clients their homes. They drugged the men using knockout drops, making them unconscious.

    The women put the drugs in the victims’ drinks. The men passed out and stayed unconscious for up to two days because of the strong drugs. During this time, the suspects stole cash and valuable items. In three cases, they took entire safes, as well as brand-name clothing and a porcelain doll. The 53-year-old man waited outside to pick up the women and the stolen goods. They caused over €73,000 in damages across Austria.

    Punters should be careful with online dating sites and catalogs, as illegal prostitutes and criminals often target their victims in such places. Read our articles by clicking on the button below:

    They lived in complicated relationships

    Besides their criminal activities, the defendants also had complicated personal relationships. The 53-year-old man, from Hungary, had been in a relationship with the 28-year-old woman since 2018. Four years later, he started a relationship with the 43-year-old co-defendant and moved to Linz with her. He then reconnected with the younger woman, leading to a brief period where all three were in a relationship together.

    The court hearing for the robbery charges is on May 22 at the Vienna Regional Court. The defendants are not expected to appear united, as the 43-year-old has testified against her co-accused, and the younger woman is pregnant with the 53-year-old man’s child while in pre-trial detention.

  • 5 false clichés about sex workers in luxury erotic nightclubs

    5 false clichés about sex workers in luxury erotic nightclubs

    In reality, the girls in brothels are totally different

    Nightclubs are well-known from American movies, however they are totally different in reality, and especially in Austria. Sex workers are also well-known about these movies and most people assign false cliches to them because of the Hollywood blockbusters.

    Of course, the reality is again totally different, and in this article you can read 5 false clichés about the sex workers, who work in luxury erotic nightclubs.

    Overview:

    1. They are sex addicts
    2. They are dumb and are not able to have a “real” job
    3. They will do anything for money
    4. They always want to rip you off
    5. They spend all of their earnings on drugs, party, and friends

    1. They are sex addicts

    If not from Hollywood, then from porn movies you might know, that all of the sex workers are sex addicts. They can’t live without sex and they need a lot of men to satisfy their needs.

    However, this cliché is totally wrong, sex work is the same work as you have, the only difference is that sexual activities are part of these women’s job.

    They have sex with clients not because they are addictive, they just cover their everyday living with this. Many girls enter the industry out of economic necessity, career aspirations, or a combination of both, but it is very rare that a sex worker is a sex addict and this lead her to this carrier choice.

    2. They are dumb and are not able to have a “real” job

    Contrary to popular belief, sex workers in luxury erotic nightclubs arrive with a diverse range of backgrounds, talents, and aspirations. The cliché, that they are unintelligent or to say, dumb, is totally false.

    It is again not true, that sex work is not a real job, since as the actor, Cillian Murphy said in the Peaky Blinders TV series, “Everyone’s a whore Grace, we just sell different parts of ourselves.”. To say it with different words, everyone is selling his time, skills, worktime at a workplace, and sex work is not different.

    To be honest, being a prostitute in a luxury erotic nightclub needs a lot of skills, the girls should be smart, flexible and good conversationist, with a strong enterpreteanuer background, the ability of listening to the client and proactively engaging with him is also a must, and so on.

    Having sex with someone is not a big deal but only the best ladies are able to do this on long term, meantime gathering regulars and earning enough money to live.

    3. They will do anything for money

    Another false cliché surrounding sex workers in luxury erotic nightclubs is the belief that they are willing to engage in any act for money. In reality, like any profession, sex work is governed by boundaries, consent, and personal preferences.

    Even in the worst sex studios or street prostitution are there boundaries, while the high class sex clubs are totally different. In such places the girls are working by their own will, and however they are rules set by the brothel, the sex workers have the right to establish their own limits and negotiate their terms of sex.

    In Austria the consent is the key, and you won’t find legal places where the girls are forced to provide services, which they don’t want.

    A professional sex worker in a premium nightclub can earn good money. Sex Work Vienna covered this topic with a detailed article. Click the button to read it:

    Earning potential of sex workers

    4. They always want to rip you off

    This false cliché is quite manipulative, baseless and harmful. It is true, that when you are having a sex date with an independent sex worker in an apartment, the things can go wrong. As we covered in our articles a lot, providing sex from private apartments is illegal in Vienna, and a lot of ladies who work such a way, do not have the necessary health checks and licenses from the police. They often live with their pimps so you are basically without any legal protection in case or argument or overpricing.

    We wrote an article about how a date with an indie sex worker might end up as a disaster. Click on the button to read it:

    Jump to the article

    You can also be ripped off if you rely on taxi driver or other members of the nightlife, who can refer you to a shady sex studio. In such places the referrers get money to hunt for intoxicated people or tourists and the night can end with a huge bill.

    The situation is much different in a premium night club in Vienna, where the reputation of the brothel is one of the most important things. In such places the prices are set in stone and you will find only high-class sex workers. You won’t be overbilled and you can focus exclusively on ladies and pleasure.

    girl and money

    In case of any debate or possible rip off, the management checks the details and in case of you were right, they will make a decision in favour of you.

    5. They spend all of their earnings on drugs, party, and friends

    Finally, the stereotype that sex workers in luxury erotic nightclubs spend their earnings on drugs, lavish parties, and friends, is also false. While some girls may choose to indulge in recreational activities or socialize with friends, this behavior is not unique to the sex industry.

    Like people in any other profession, how one chooses to spend their earnings is a matter of personal discretion and lifestyle preferences. Assuming that all sex workers lead hedonistic lifestyles disregards the diversity of their experiences and choices.

    To speak about alcohol and drugs, it is again a nonsense. The sex workers in best sex clubs in Vienna are under big pressure, as they work a lot, meet many guests and meantime their appearance is a key to be successful.

    It is required that a girl in a night club love the champagnes, this does not mean that such ladies consume this kind of alcohol day or night. The best champagnes are there for gentlemen to show their appreciation for the ladies, and they can also ease the situation and everyone can feel better. If a girl would be an alcohol addict, she would loose her beauty very soon, and no one would have sex with her in a premium nightclub.

    Drugs are totally different, the best places do not offer and do not let the girls and people to use drugs. These places can be temporarily or permanently closed by the police in case of illegal activities, and no one of the brothel owners want to loose their income.

  • Brothel owner in Graz demonstrates against illegal prostitution in a strange way

    Brothel owner in Graz demonstrates against illegal prostitution in a strange way

    On April 1st, a brothel operator in Graz chose a peculiar method to raise awareness against illegal prostitution in apartments. He placed mannequins outside of his brothel, dressed as prostitutes. This was not the first awareness campaign from his side; last year, he sought “girl testers” via posters, which garnered significant media attention.

    He protested against prostitutes who work in apartments

    The owner, Wollinger, clarified why he chose provocatively dressed mannequins as a form of protest. He stated that the decision to hold the demonstration on April 1st was deliberate, aimed at once again shedding light on a pressing societal concern.

    The primary aim of this initiative, according to Wollinger, is to raise awareness about the resurgence of illegal residential prostitution within the city. His campaign from last year garnered attention, and this year’s spectacle seeks to amplify the message. He emphasized that beyond the imperative of combating criminal activity, there is a substantial economic toll on legitimate businesses such as their own.

    Austria has been recognized for its pioneering efforts in regulating the prostitution industry, yet Wollinger contends that more must be done to uphold this standard. Specifically, he advocates for granting the Graz police enhanced authority to effectively address such infractions. Moreover, he calls for the imposition of stricter penalties for violations related to residential prostitution.

    The spokesperson of the State Police, Markus Lamb, replied to him. As he said, not counting the sporadic instances of illegal sex work in private apartments, the situation is not as dire as the brothel owner suggests, especially when comparing the current situation with the coronavirus lockdown.

    Independent sex workers operating illegally in private apartments cause significant problems in Vienna as well. A man can never be sure if they have undergone the necessary health checks, and local police officers regularly conduct raids on these apartments, sometimes catching clients and illegal prostitutes red-handed.

    These illegal sex workers often advertise their services on Booksusi, where a new type of scam has emerged, utilizing fake profile networks. These profiles dominate the lineup, causing issues for guests and legally advertising girls alike. Read the article here: These are the methods how girls cheat you on Booksusi

    An interview with Krone revealed that the Vienna police conducted 82 checks in the red-light district of Vienna in 2023. During these checks, they inspected 217 apartments and discovered 614 violations of the prostitution act. The typical fines included €200 for unregistered prostitution, €400 for lack of a health book, and another €400 for illegal prostitution in apartments. However, while the overall €1000 fine may seem a seriour amount, it lacks real deterrent value for independent sex workers.

    German man causes trouble and resists cops in Innsbruck

    Two weeks ago, a chaotic scene unfolded at a brothel in Innsbruck. A 33-year-old man from Germany allegedly got into a fight with a sex worker, causing damage to the place. Things got worse when he refused to cooperate with the police.

    Around 2:15 a.m., police were called to the scene due to reports of a physical fight and property damage. They found the man, who was very drunk, and he didn’t make it easy for them to arrest him. Despite his resistance, they managed to take him into custody.

    During the arrest, the man got a bit hurt, but the police were fine. Worried about his mental state, they took him to the hospital for a check-up. Authorities think the man might have been going through a tough time mentally. They’re still looking into what exactly led to the fight.

    These are the methods how girls cheat you on Booksusi

    Fake girl profiles rule the lineup

    Sex Vienna published many articles about Booksusi, where punters were fooled, or the girls’ services were extremely poor.

    For example, you can read why such a date can go wrong, while another article reported a Hungarian group that targeted their victims on Booksusi and later stole their money without providing any services.

    There were also cases where pimps started to use customers’ numbers sent to the advertised sex workers for contact. The aggressive men threatened the customers if they did not send more money for their imaginary additional services. Finally, here you can also read a report about three girls who were not recommended at all.

    If you think that this platform can’t be worse, you are wrong; there are newer and newer tricks appearing on Booksusi. In this article, you can read how a batch of fake profiles rules the lineup of the portal, suppressing the other ads and fooling potential clients.

    Overview:

    Party girls on Booksusi

    Lately, the ads on Booksusi have started to feature a new type of ads. The slogan under the girl’s name was either “Party” or “Party Girl.” They used one of two phone numbers with fake addresses. We could easily find 12 profiles in a few minutes with the same two numbers and Party slogans.

    Almost all of the profiles used the same girl pictures, mainly from one girl, occasionally from the other two girls.

    The images look like stolen pictures from someone’s Instagram or Onlyfans account.

    The girl details on the profiles (e.g., age, height, weight, breast size) were totally random and do not match the pictures. The introduction texts were also random. The girls had many positive reviews, which were totally nonsense.

    This is wrong for both honest sex workers and customers

    The result? If you opened Booksusi at that time, these fake profiles ruled the whole lineup, and you had a hard time if you wanted to open another profile. It seems there is a whole network on Booksusi of fake profiles, which distracts customers from normal and honest sex worker ads, causing damage to legal sex workers and customers as well.

    We don’t have evidence that those girls who are run by the owner of fake profiles don’t have legal work papers or health checks, but it often happens in this scene. Girls who work in illegal apartments do not have obligations to follow the laws and they are not forced to do the regular medical examinations. In a legal brothel in Austria, sex workers should have a work permit and the health checks continuously.

    We should also mention the aspect that such adverts can ruin customers’ trust in sex workers, as men run into more and more fake ads or they get scammed. At the moment, it is not clear what happens with clients who tried to book any of these fake girls, if they got only different sex workers for the sex date or were scammed or ripped off as well.

    Why does Booksusi let such ads on the site?

    The quality of Booksusi dropped continuously in past years, mostly because the owners of this portal did not put too much effort into removing the fake girl profiles and reviews. It still happens very often that scammers create new profiles with fake reviews, rip off the customers and then close the profiles and create new ones very soon. This way there is no chance that a dissatisfied customer can leave a warning on a scammer profile, and the scammers can restart their rip-off with a fresh profile.

    But bulk profiles in a big number are somehow new on Booksusi, however, they can be spotted in a few minutes. We could easily find a dozen of them in a few minutes; there is no reason why the portal owners can’t do the same.

    Fake reviews are common on punter forums as well. Read our article about how to identify fake girl reviews on punter forums. Click on the button to open it:

    Powered by trust

    Such websites, like Booksusi, are powered by trust; customers should believe that they get what they see on the girl profiles. If they will be fooled continuously, or even more, ripped off by scammers, they will never again use the portal for seeking new sex workers.

    By now, we did not see such kind of bulk fake profile creation on competitors of Booksusi. We might think that scammers do not like the competitors, but it is also possible that the scam detection and moderation are stronger on alternative sites, and the fake profiles are deleted soon after they go online. Or at least, if they are in bulk, like now on Booksusi.

  • In 2023, the police conducted 82 checks in the red-light district of Vienna

    In 2023, the police conducted 82 checks in the red-light district of Vienna

    An interview was published on Krone.at, where the reported visited a legal brothel in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, where four sex workers waited for the customers. However, there were no clients in the brothel during the time period of the interview, and according to the brothel operator, this happened because of the illegal prostitutes in private apartments.

    The report also mentioned the Loverboys from Eastern Europe, who keep a significant portion of their earnings to sex workers.

    The article also highlighted other key facts of the industry.

    Clients and Loverboys can be both involved in violence against illegal sex workers

    Violent incidents involving clients, increasingly asylum seekers, are reported both by investigators and venue operators. No statistics exist, as illegal workers refrain from reporting incidents to avoid attracting law enforcement attention.

    Furthermore, the threat from ‘Loverboys,’ who often use violence to keep them engaged in illegal prostitution, adds to their vulnerability.

    We could learn key facts of the recent police raids and the average fines for illegal prostitution:

    1. Illegal prostitution often occurs in private apartments. In 2023, the Vienna Police conducted 82 checks in the red-light district, averaging one check every four days. However the Austrian prostitution laws are determined by individual states, Vienna has the strictest regulations.
    2. The police inspected 217 private residences in Vienna, resulting in 614 violations of the Vienna Prostitution Act. In January and February 2024, there were 12 focus points, leading to the closure of five regularly used apartments.
    3. Fines include €200 for unregistered prostitution, €400 for lack of health examination, and another €400 for illegal residential prostitution. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resurgence of apartment prostitution has been noted as legal (red-light) venues were forced to close.

    Bureaucratic is also a big problem

    However, legal brothel operators are often provide with information to authorities about illegal prostitutes, the enforcement often falls shortdue to bureaucratic hurdles.

    A proof held by third parties is insufficient; the police must conduct undercover operations, resulting in significant overtime.

    According to Krone, legal venue operators also criticize the relatively low fines for illegal apartment prostitution, emphasizing the stark contrast to fines imposed on legal establishments.Police counter that fines for illegal apartment prostitution are around €1,000 and that thorough monitoring occurs. Collection of fines proves challenging as these women often lack registered addresses in Vienna.

    Illegal prostitution is a huge problem

    We published a lot of articles lately why illegal prostitution is a problem for the whole industry; for brothel operators, legal sex workers and customers as well:

    Considering booking an independent escort on Booksusi? Before you proceed, it’s crucial to be aware of potential challenges that may arise. Here are the top 5 reasons why your experience might not unfold as expected: Top 5 reasons why Booksusi dates might end up a disaster

    Lately, more people are talking about banning prostitution, saying it’s bad for women. But, here’s the twist – facts paint a different picture. The person in charge of the SOPHIE advice center for sex workers thinks that banning legal sex work might actually make things worse for women: Legal sex work protects women from crime and violence

    A recent article on oe24.at brings attention to a big shift in the world of sex work in Austria. Due to the Corona pandemic, the number of places offering these services is going down. Instead, more sex workers are doing their thing in private apartments or hotels, making it harder to keep track of and regulate the industry: One quarter of sex workers might work illegally in Austria

    Conflict Arising from Purchased Services Results in Detainment of Hungarian Woman in Villach

    An intense disagreement over the nature of the acquired services between a customer and an unlawful sex worker in Villach led to the apprehension of a 27-year-old Hungarian woman.

    A regular argument ended with an unusual ending

    An intense disagreement on February 2nd over the nature of the acquired services between a client and an illegal sex worker in Villach led to the apprehension of a 27-year-old Hungarian woman.

    On the morning of February 2nd, local authorities responded to a dispute in a multi-unit apartment in Villach. Upon arrival, it emerged that a 27-year-old Hungarian woman was embroiled in a disagreement with a fellow 27-year-old Villach resident concerning the sexual services she purportedly provided.

    Both had arranged an erotic massage through an online platform. The woman insisted that they had agreed on a massage encompassing the back and genital area, with no mention of sexual intercourse or oral activities. However, the man, who had prepaid for the services, had a differing interpretation.

    Following this, law enforcement informed the woman about the illegality of her actions, deeming them an administrative offense. Further investigation revealed that the 27-year-old was already wanted for a prior offense, leading to her transfer to the Neufellach police station.

    Due to the woman’s inability to provide a fixed address, authorities instructed her to remit a 100-euro security deposit. Abruptly, the woman began shouting and exhibited aggression. Since attempts to calm her proved futile, she was taken into custody.

    The Hungarian woman was subsequently transported to the Villach police detention center and now faces charges.

    Following a sequence of police interventions, an illicitly run brothel in the Tyrolean lowlands has been shut down, unveiling ties to unlawful prostitution and pimping activities. The Tyrol State Criminal Investigation Agency (LKA) had been engaged in inquiries for numerous months, focusing on a criminal group comprising an Austrian individual, 51 years old, a Turkish individual, 57 years old, and a Spanish individual, 34 years old: Illegal Brothel Shut Down in Tyrol Under Investigation for Prostitution and Pimping

    There have been reports of frequent male visitors to a nail salon in Leipzig, Germany. The sources indicate that men are observed entering and exiting the building, which functions as a nail salon, approximately every 30 minutes. It turned out that the source of this attraction was the provision of inexpensive sexual services by two Vietnamese women: Nail salon turned into illegal brothel in Leipzig

    police raid in Vienna

    Last summer a collaborative effort between the municipal regulatory office and customs authorities uncovered a significant blow to the illegal prostitution trade. The Financial Control of Illicit Employment division of the Main Customs Office in Potsdam supported the Treuenbrietzen regulatory office in a joint operation against an illicit apartment-based brothel.

    Acting on a public tip, the investigation led to the discovery of an illegal prostitution business operating within a private residence. During the operation, three Thai women, aged 30 to 53, were found in the apartment. Two admitted to engaging in prostitution, while the third claimed to work as a masseuse. Further inquiry revealed that both prostitutes were residing illegally in Germany, leading to the arrest of a 34-year-old woman. Legal proceedings were initiated against the other two women for illegal residence and employment: Illegal Apartment Brothel Uncovered in Treuenbrietzen

    During the Coronavirus pandemic in Austria, a significant portion of the paysex industry became illegal, limiting operations to escort services only. Consequently, many women turned to working in illegal apartments as a last resort.

    The Viennese Police Department responded by conducting raids. A total of 171 advertisements led the police to discover 30 illegal apartments, all of which were shut down during that week. Fines were imposed not only on the women working in these establishments but also on the landlords who had rented out their apartments for illegal activities: Illegal Apartments Raided by the Police in Vienna

    Sex with indies can often go wrong

    As it turns out from the above-mentioned stories, sex with independent sex workers can often go wrong, mostly because they are offering their services illegally. The clients can be caught red-handed by the police, and there is a risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases.

    Booksusi is definitely one of the most well-known portals where independent girls can be found, but we also covered a lot of sad stories where the client had serious problems with such girls. Read our article where we listed the top 5 reasons why Booksusi dates might end up a disaster:

  • Punter Report – 3 Independent Sex Workers Not Recommended

    Punter Report – 3 Independent Sex Workers Not Recommended

    In the past years, we mentioned Booksusi a lot, as it was a place where punters were able to use an AO filter for filtering sex workers. This put pressure on the girls to provide it even if they were not comfortable with it, to avoid being filtered out. After showing that such a filter option is now prohibited by law, the site is still one of the most well-known places where you can encounter illegally and potentially health book-lacking prostitutes.

    We have received a report from a local punter who tried three independent sex workers from Booksusi but was dissatisfied with the results. After reading his words, you will understand why. Here are the reviews of the sex workers:

    1. Adelina (illegal sex worker in IBIS Budget Hotel)
    2. Giulia (unfortunately disgusting)
    3. Alice (Schwedenplatz no taboos)

    Adelina (illegal sex worker in IBIS Budget Hotel)

    Adelina is from Romania and usually works in Graz but occasionally tries her luck in Vienna. She offers her services in an IBIS Budget hotel. She is a nice person and looks even better in real life than in the images. She provides various services, including sex without a condom. However, engaging in AO sex is her choice, which brings me to the negatives.

    She is working illegally in an IBIS hotel in the 2nd district. She could choose to work in any club or studio, as these places are currently hiring. However, it seems she prefers to continue working in a hotel. This should raise red flags for various reasons:

    1. The fact that she works from a hotel room raises questions about whether she has a health book or not.
    2. The hygiene situation is highly questionable, as it is with various AO girls, and as punters, we face this problem every day.

    Sex Work Vienna has an article which explains what AO sex is and why it is bad for sex workers. Click on the button to read it:

    Giulia (unfortunately disgusting)

    She is a nice and open-minded person but seems kind of lost in my opinion. It is hard to determine if her images are real, but they hide her body, which is, sorry to say, not sexy. In fact, the pictures are misleading and do not reflect Giulia’s actual appearance.

    Another problem is that she talks too much. At the moment, I don’t see why people would book her for a second time.

    Alice (Schwedenplatz no taboos)

    Alice works in Schwedenplatz, in the center of Vienna, which is an ideal location. She offers her services in an illegal one-room apartment with a good view of the Danube canal.

    While she could work in a sex club or a studio, since we never heard of her working anywhere officially and she always advertises her services from an apartment, it is not unrealistic that she is without a health book.

    She offers everything without a condom, including anal. I strongly believe that hygiene comes into play. As quickly as she undresses her panties and stands naked in front of you, she puts the panties back on without taking a shower. She might take a shower after you leave, but who knows…

  • 6 Reasons Why Escort Girls from Agencies Are More Recommended Than Independent Escorts

    6 Reasons Why Escort Girls from Agencies Are More Recommended Than Independent Escorts

    6 Reasons to choose an Escort Girl from an Agency

    The Vienna sex scene is diverse, and one significant segment of it is the escort industry.

    Essentially, there are two types of escorts in the city: independent sex workers and escort agencies (in addition to brothels that have their own escort services).

    Each type of escort has its pros and cons, but overall, it is a better idea to book a lady from a reputable escort agency than to choose a girl from any of the sex ad sites. In this article, we will explain 6 reasons why escort girls from agencies are more recommended than independent escorts.

    Overview:

    1. Discretion and Elegance
    2. Health Concerns
    3. Hygiene Standards
    4. Working During Menstruation
    5. The Pimp as the Driver
    6. Your Phone Number for Harassment

    Reason 1: Discretion and Elegance

    A lady from a high-class escort agency is advised to arrive in a stylish and discreet manner. Even if your neighbors happen to witness a lady arriving at your doorstep, they won’t suspect that you’re using paid sex services. Reputable escort agencies uphold certain standards, and a luxury escort girl will never appear as if she were a streetwalker.

    Conversely, girls from platforms like Booksusi or other sex ad portals often showcase their very best ADIDAS or GUCCI outfits, or even worse.

    Here we wrote an article about one of the most elegant escort agencies in Vienna. We suggest you read it if you are interested in discreet and elegant escort girls:

    Exploring Bijou Escort

    Reason 2: Health Concerns

    It’s highly likely that new escort girls listed on sex catalogs do not have their health checks in place, and some may not even plan on getting them. This means that the risk of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is real nowadays, particularly because there is a high demand for unprotected sex (AO sex), and most independent girls offer it.

    Legal brothels in Vienna, on the other hand, can employ sex workers only if they possess a valid license from the police and a green health card. There is also strict oversight, and brothels risk closure if they are caught employing a sex worker without the necessary credentials.

    Legal sex workers with green cards are required to undergo regular health checks to maintain their card, ensuring a higher level of safety. Furthermore, the best brothels and agencies do not offer AO sex, which is another significant advantage when choosing an escort girl with an agency or club background.

    Reason 3: Hygiene Standards

    When booking an elite escort lady from a reputable agency or club, you can be confident that the girl adheres to the strictest hygiene standards. The establishments behind these professionals take hygiene seriously, as they also need to uphold their business’s reputation and the well-being of their other sex workers.

    In contrast, independent sex workers often lack even the most basic hygiene practices. They try to conduct as much business with as little effort as possible. It’s not uncommon for them to skip a shower after arriving at your location, claiming they did it at home. After having sex with you, they may not shower again, and in most cases, they rush to their next client.

    As you can imagine, the next guest may encounter the independent escort without having showered after your encounter, and you can only hope that you were their first client of the day and not exposed to the aftermath of their previous appointment.

    This situation can be rather repulsive, but it’s unfortunately becoming more common in Vienna. There are many low-quality girls on sex ad portals who do not adhere to basic hygiene standards, posing a risk when booking them.

    Reason 4: Working During Menstruation

    Engaging in sexual activities during a woman’s period is one of the oldest and most steadfast taboos globally. However, do not assume that independent escort girls always adhere to this rule, as they aim to maximize their earnings and make the most money in the shortest amount of time.

    For independent sex workers, having sex during their period is not a problem, which can lead to uncomfortable situations that can ruin the experience for you.

    Reason 5: The Pimp as the Driver

    Luxury escort agencies typically employ their own drivers, who have no involvement with the escort beyond driving her from point A to point B. In contrast, independent escort ladies nowadays often bring their own drivers, who are intimately connected to them. These drivers can be their pimps, husbands, or boyfriends, and one thing they typically have in common is that you probably do not want to meet them.

    These pimps or boyfriends often fit a similar mold: they are very masculine, have prominent tattoos, and sport a bald head or very short hair. They are known for wearing conspicuous jewelry and driving masculine cars. Beyond their appearance, the biggest issue with them is their tendency towards aggression.

    It’s also not uncommon for something to go wrong during an encounter with an independent escort. For example, you may dispute the services received or the agreed-upon price, and in such cases, these pimps serve as threats. In most instances, it is easier and safer to pay them off.

    Needless to say, you won’t encounter such threats with a legal escort service, nor will you be asked to pay more than the previously agreed-upon price.

    That is also one of the reasons why street prostitution isnt a viable option for gentlemen.

    Reason 6: Your Phone Number for Harassment

    When you provide your phone number to an escort agency or brothel, it is used exclusively for booking-related purposes. An agency representative might contact you to confirm order details or discuss a change in the chosen girl, among other matters.

    However, there have been numerous reports of customers who provided their phone numbers to independent escort girls or had their numbers visible during the initial contact call or WhatsApp message. It has happened on several occasions that escort girls contacted the client shortly after a meeting and demanded additional money. These messages often follow a similar pattern.

    At times, an independent escort may contact a past client and request money to help her resolve a “situation.” If you refuse, they may persist with the harassment until you find it easier to pay something extra. In most cases, the escort will contact you again for more money.

    Another pattern involves the pimp sending messages and aggressively demanding more money. The reasons for this demand can vary, such as claiming that additional services were provided during your encounter with the independent girl, or that you caused harm to the escort lady and she is unable to work, necessitating compensation.

    As previously reported, there have been cases where Romanian pimps used WhatsApp to threaten clients, stating that they must pay an additional fee, or they will “pay with their blood”

    Conclusion:

    To sum up why you should always choose professional escort agencies to book you escort girl:

    • The girls are elegant and clean
    • You will not have any bad surprises
    • The agency and the girls guarantee 100% discretion
    • No security concerns, no pimps

  • Studio Schüttelstraße 33 – example of a terrible studio that is well-run

    Studio Schüttelstraße 33 – example of a terrible studio that is well-run

    Studio Schüttelstraße 33 contains all the ingredients of a toxic recipe for a horrible soup, and yet, it kind of seems to work. We couldn’t help but notice their ever-changing line-up, and we decided to look into what’s going on there in the 2nd district of Vienna.

    Read more to find out what we found with this studio!

    The 2nd district of Vienna is known for its bad studios

    Traditionally, there are no good studios in the 2nd district, despite the fact that it is so close to the 1st district, which is the center of Vienna. The studio in Schüttelstraße 33 itself has no name or brand attached to it, as mediocre studios rarely do.

    The studio itself is medium-sized and is in pretty good shape structurally.

    But the inside is less than professional or neat-looking. Just what you would expect from a flat shared by 5-6 young teenage girls who embrace their mess. Very unprofessional and untidy. Overall, it is clean, so it isn’t unhygienic per se, but it still looks messy.

    The girls started in a studio in Ölweingasse

    At this point, it makes sense to explain that some of the girls who work at Studio Schüttelstraße made their Vienna debut in another bad studio in Ölweingasse in the 15th district.

    Comparing those two studios, Schüttelstraße is better, so they have improved in that regard. It is also bigger and can host more girls, which it does. At Studio Ölweingasse, there were usually 2-3 girls max, while now at peak moments, we saw 6 girls at Schüttelstraße advertising at the same time.

    The reputation of this group is weak, even though there were some highlights in the past, like, for example, Bonita, who made a good name for herself 6-7 years ago or even longer ago. The main mama of this studio seems to be “Lolita,” the blonde, skinny one who definitely is not recommended.

    The only girl in this studio who we can give a pass and recommend somewhat is Bella. She has a certain look that will draw many guys’ attention, and she has a few things going for her also in bed.

    This is still a bad studio, however, a well-run one

    After a bunch of negatives, you might think, what we consider to be well-run about this studio Schüttelstraße. First of all, their logistics have massively improved. You can make appointments there now, and they are encouraging you to do so.

    They can be contacted by phone or WhatsApp, and both work fine. Their prices have increased considerably compared to when they still worked at Studio Ölweingasse, but almost all studios are more expensive now, and at least you know what you are getting.

    Prices have doubled if you consume the many extras that are on offer. That means that the standard prices are more expensive now, and the extra prices are far more expensive. But that is the price for a certain level of professionalism, I guess.

    Their pictures may seem not that professional, but they are. The girls are often less attractive than the pics make it seem. But they are never fake, just shot in a smart way and angle and nicely edited. Needless to say, that most girls are a little less attractive than what you expect. Except for Bella, who really is this attractive.

    The positives are that you know what you are getting but don’t expect anything spectacular. After all, this is still a bad studio; however, a well-run one.
