great programme to watch in between bookings. Thank you for flagging this, it's great to be informed xx

What else do you recommend? I was homeless, no benefits as I am an EU citizen, and little to no chance of getting a job as I only had high school qualifications, dyspraxia & social anxiety that means "normal" jobs can be tough for me and frankly am only really worth something within academia. Thankfully I'm now saved with my place at uni and a student loan but when I started this I had nothing. I have also lived a life of abuse, rape, poverty, and having to look after my siblings from a young age as my Mum was too out of it to, so I'd like to think I can't be compared to your average 18 year old (not that they should be prohibited either). As I said, all an age limit would do is force us to have absolutely nothing to turn to, and surprise surprise, there are much older women who are also exploited. It's illegal to sell sex if you're under 18 yet I know of many 16/17 year olds, even younger, that have started this. Do you really think an age limit is going to make a difference? Doesn't really make a lot of sense to me and the idea sounds about as sensationalist as the documentary does. It would fix nothing. Sorry but if I can get married and start a family and vote, get a tattoo, so on and so forth then I can be a prostitute. Yes, a lot of the men that go for those my age aren't nice. Are all of your clients nice? Come on, it's the bloody sex industry. A large number of these men aren't going to be nice, regardless of what age bracket they're interested in.

All these ideas do is make things harder for other working girls that older WGs deem somehow lesser than. It's bloody ridiculous, we're supposed to help each other out, not be in favour of legislation that forces some of us further down the rabbit hole. We get very little support from those outside of this community, all we get is judgement and having to guard the secret of what we do with our lives, especially if this isn't a main career choice. To think that some within the industry also treat us that way.. It's one of the few jobs I can do, and one of the few avenues I can use to make money, save myself and become the person I bloody well know I can be. Sadly, this country's government isn't interested in making it easy for me to get there in more "legitimate" ways. For many of us, yes this was a last resort. We clearly don't have much else in life, so for god's sake let us have this.

(Sorry if this is way OT, as you can tell the topic has been building up inside me for quite some time now.)

+1 to all of this.

I think we all need to remember that some people do sex work just for the money. Why does it matter if a person is suited to sex work or would thrive doing it? I don't have any other viable alternatives and I need money to live. What a consenting adult chooses to do with their body is nobodies business but their own.

Which country was this based in? think I may have watched it before, I wouldn't work somewhere like that as prefer to be independent and choose my clients  .

Thanks Barbie888, yes I watched that a while back aye x.

This was on years ago was in Germany . I'm pretty sure at the end it showed that it was raised and the managers were all facing jail and I'm pretty sure they mentioned at the end that the manager was in held in remand hence why he couldn't be in the rest of it . It was strange but the owner of the place didn't seem to be facing any charges not sure what the charges were for . But I'm pretty sure that place isn't there any more . You get girls in the uk that's sleep where they work and no go home and make good money but those girls seemed to do well I did here those places in Germany are good . But it's not for me rather work for my self X

Must have been a repeat as I only just watched it a few days ago.

The brothel still has a web site although interestingly it only advertises that one establishment.

They said in the program that 90% of all prostitutes are forced into the business!

Wonder what the blond girl who stated in the program is now up to, she wanted to because criminologist.

they have to pay just around 100 euros and they have a space where the customers come to, where the towels and bedding is taken care for and they are in beautiful surroundings. they dont have to advertise themselves and they have community of the girls to chat with. seems like a pretty good deal to me!
