- A brothel manager revealed that clients come from all walks of life, including doctors, lawyers, and teachers.
- Many clients are married men who do not hide their marital status, with some discovered by their wives through ATM withdrawals near the brothel.
- Reasons for visiting range from first sexual experiences to a lack of time for relationships, with some clients seeking a practical and cost-effective option.
Catherine De Noire, who has managed a brothel for nearly a decade, has shared insights into the diverse clientele her establishment serves, challenging common stereotypes. She states that the men visiting are not "strange or creepy types" but rather ordinary individuals, including friends, colleagues, former schoolmates, doctors, and even teachers of children.
De Noire noted that her brothel, which caters to hundreds of clients daily, ranging from 200 to 700, is accessible to people with disabilities. She recounted a regular client who is a quadriplegic and uses a wheelchair, with his parents bringing him to the establishment and waiting for him in the lounge.
The motivations for visiting are varied and personal. Some young men seek their first sexual experience in a safe and professional environment. Others, with successful careers, find a brothel to be the most practical and cost-effective option due to a lack of time or energy for relationships. Curiosity and the desire for a specific atmosphere also drive some clients.
Regarding married clients, De Noire observed that most do not attempt to conceal their marital status, often wearing their wedding rings or openly admitting they are married to the sex workers. She mentioned that wives sometimes discover their husbands' visits through unusual late-night cash withdrawals from ATMs located near brothels. The brothel also hosts bachelor parties.
