Brothels are establishments specifically dedicated to prostitution and may be confined to special red-light districts in large cities. In some places, licensed brothels are legal (see prostitution).
Business models
Brothels use a variety of business models.
- In some, prostitutes are held in bondage without a true option to leave, receiving only a small portion of the money paid by the patron.
- In others the prostitutes are employees, receiving a small fixed salary and a portion of the money spent by the customer. (Maison close)
- In still others the prostitutes pay a fee for use of the facilities, with the brothel owner not being involved in the financial transaction between prostitute and client. (Maison de passe)
- A unique business model exists in the brothel Big Sister in Prague: customers have sex for free, with the operation being financed by the sale of video recordings on the internet.
Mega-brothels
The term mega-brothel is sometimes used for brothels that can accommodate a large number of people, such as the Artemis in Berlin which received considerable publicity before the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. In 2003, a mega-brothel was proposed to be built near Las Vegas, Nevada, the first such example in the United States.[1]
