I don't think so. Sex for women (Albiet, in my experience) isn't hard for them to get. To paraphrase an old joke, it's like the garbage man, put it out there and it will get taken. I suppose for some, the purely physical act and eye candy will make the brothel a few bucks but not nearly on the scale that one for males would.

I'm surprised that 47% of the respondents think a brothel for women would be successful. The common opinion is that women may go to male strip shows for fun with their girlfriends but that is where they draw the line. Further, curious why we haven't seen one yet if the odds of success are so high? Opinions?

I believe that it all ties into our general nature and for a few other reasons... ;-)

If you've read these boards enough, you will see that women have a hard time asking for what they want. Many times they want men to be "mind readers." My theory is that this same type of thought process is what prevents women from using male prostitutes. We just do not want a man to have sex with us because we pay them to....we want them to have sex with us because they desire to. I know that I'm big on this one. To "pay" someone to have sex or do something that they may not choose to do sans the money, is something that I myself cannot even fathoming enforcing on another person--with respect to sex.

It may also be due to our uncanny ability to empathize. We'd think..."He may be suffering from past abuse; he may be desperate; on drugs; he may find me repulsive...etc." We'd "think, period! tee hee

Lastly, we could pretty much get anonymous sex from anywhere, anytime....so, as a result, it's not an obsession.... ;-) Because we are afforded this luxury....we can concentrate more on relationship sex wherein we are desired as a "whole" (body & mind) and not just for our bodies. It's like "Maslow's Heirarchy of Needs"....sex is not a need for us because it is plentiful....so we can concentrate on sex with love....

My theories anyhow....generally speaking, of course. ;-)

I appreciate your reply - I have similar thoughts (I don't even believe the stories I hear about male strippers receiving blow jobs). However, I was expressing my suprise that 47% of the women believe a brothel for women would be successful (and that has risen to 53% since my earlier post).

You make a good point evoking Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs in this instance. I like to

I too agree that sex is a "need" for women, as well, and yes, that each will need to fulfill that need differently. However, I cannot see how women's sexuality can be applied to Maslow's Heirarchy. My feeling is that even though it may be "plentiful" or "easy" for us to obtain, it's "conditioning" which prevents us from acting on that need.

I believe that women's sexuality has not truly seen it's day yet. Women are reared from a very young age to suppress it--even if it's "subtle" brainwashing (good vs. bad woman ). So, I do not believe we truly know the extent of women's sexuality. Until women are secure in the fact that they would not be harshly judged or punished for acting on their true desires, we'll never know how "most" women would act or respond to that "need."

I peruse a mens' board occasionally, and there have been several posts which reflect that society's double standard with respect to sex is still alive and kicking. Many men have no qualms stating that they will not respect a woman who has sex merely for the physical enjoyment of it. Somehow they believe that women are "not wired" to....but my feeling is that they do not truly "want" them to. ;-)

If women were "truly" free to do as they please without being harshly judged (it had no effect on whether or not they were worthy as a person of a future relationship), I believe that they would surprise a few. ;-) I do not believe that they would utilize brothels (for the reasons I set forth prior), but I do believe that they would have more casual sex with men that they desired to.

Just my thoughts.... ;-)

I agree with you that a woman's sexuality has not seen it's day...and we could discuss the conditions and reasons for hours and hours, certainly. You are so correct about the double standard, sadly that remains unchanging to this day.


I am the product of a stifling and suppressed upbringing. Despite my brainwashing I still had the mind of a very sensual human being. While my behavior was always dictated by social mores and society's moral code...no one ever saw what went on in my mind. My mind was never stifled. Thankfully so.


What I do know, for certain, is that women often act strictly based on the "need" for sex. It's called masturbation.

"What I do know, for certain, is that women often act strictly based on the "need" for sex. It's called masturbation."

Exactly! Sadly, even "that" can be stifled. Many women would rather die, than admit that they ever touched themselves....and many as a result, never do, nor would they even allow the "thought" to enter their minds (the ultimate result of suppression).

....perhaps it's fear of the unknown--or is that known? (Are human females highly promiscuous at heart?) I don't know if we'll ever truly know the answer to that question. ;-)

How would you explain that 58% of the women believe a brothel for ladies would be succcessful with half of those desiring to use the services?

Ladies, what do you think of the idea of a male strip club in Vegas with an adjoining brothel where the women could have a massage and/or sex with their favorite dancer(s)after the show? Certainly a possiblity in Vegas since prostitution is legal in Neveda. Ladies just have to show sufficinet demand, and I'm sure it would happen.

Is that even possible? Let's think about this....

Each dancer both dances and has sex with what....10-20 women a night? Can a man even have sex with that many women? Can he maintain an erection (viagra has a downside , particularly if taken daily and long-term) for that long? What if an over 50 250lb woman walks in? Would he be able to perform? Of course there are other ways of having sex, but one would think that intercourse would be necessary, nonetheless.

I think that even if the "demand" for one were present, it's not feasible, based on male plumbing alone. We all know what a "fluffer" is in the porn industry, right? I'd like some thoughts on this from the men here....
