Let's Create the Best Brothel in the World – by Dr Tuppy Owens
I am shortly to speak at the UK Network of Sex Worker's Conference which is focusing on “Good Practice”. I thought what better form of good practice than to ask the clients what they would like. I am focusing on brothels because they are the ideal for selling sex.
I am thus asking you to send me your wishes.
Let me give you some background. I started my survey with a population of disabled people, before opening it up to the public.
A TV documentary was made by Asta Philpot for the BBC, to bring attention to the fact that some disabled people need to visit brothels, and he is continuing his campaign by approaching Larry Flint in America, to support his cause.
Encouraged by the impact of our demonstration, and the way members of the House of Lords are recognising the sexual needs of disabled people, I have decided to ask everybody I can reach, precisely what they would really like to have provided for them personally, in a brothel (should they wish).
The Costa Brava brothel in Asta's programme was far from perfect. For a start, they did not cater to women. The sex workers, sweet as they were, looked like lap dancers, young and cosmetically enhanced. The décor was grim: not sexy or glamorous. The brothel also had a lot going for it: a good sexual service, it provided hoists for disabled people to get onto the beds, was clean and well-run and, perhaps best of all, it operated openly, without stigma – a local guy had come up to Asta in a bar and recommended he pop along.
So, please let me know what you would like, from a personal point of view, and any special needs dictated by your personal problems, disability and impairments.
Bear in mind, brothels can cater to many different needs – not just sex. They can be seats (or beds, to be more precise) of learning, anxiety reduction, confidence building, off-loading guilt, shame, sadness and confusion, experimentation, cuddling, touching and lying in bed with someone. They can also be places where you can get beaten shitless, tied up, humiliated, or try a little spanking or torment, cross-dressing, see women in polo-neck jumpers, women popping balloons, and experience your own personal fetish. They can provide sex parties, straight sex, gay sex, and whatever your fantasy dictates. That is why they are rather good.
My dream brothel would be a place where all pleasures are catered for, offering dinner, drinks, dancing, gambling, erotic shows, treatment rooms, a Tantric Temple, chill-out rooms and a cinema as well as bedrooms, a dungeon, fetish rooms. This mix would hopefully take away the stigma and make the brothel acceptable in polite society.
I would base my dream brothel along the lines of a top hotel, as these are the only places on earth where both sex workers and disabled people are treated as respectfully as other guests. Top hotels are very strict about this. Their staff never know when royalty are coming in to have a laugh or politicians are just taking the weight off their feet!
Staff would be trained to communicate with deaf and deaf-blind clients, as well as spinal injured and other disabled people.
I am inspired by the fact that jazz music came out of the brothels of New Orleans and Tango came from the brothels of Argentina. Both forms of music were fusion music, designed to fire people up. Brothels can, if left to run in the spirit of bon amie rather than fear and shame, be centres of cultural influence.
I've never been one to ask for much, have I? But while the topic is being debated on the political agenda, let's state what we want.
Please send me your requests. I will put everything into a document, display it on-line and present it at the conference I’m speaking at in early July.
Madame Cynthia Payne can open the first brothel, and bring back her luncheon voucher scheme for disabled and pensioners.
Send direct to me at mail@sfc.org.uk preferably including any details of your personal needs, disabilities and impairments, so I can present your case accordingly.
