brothels
While I was slacking off from work last night, Frank and I ended up spending a few hours chatting in a mini-mart with Mike. Somehow, we got on the topic of sex, and Mike mentioned hearing about a drive through brothel. While I haven't been able to find any specific locations on said drive-through brothel, through hours of google, I was able to asertian that most drive through brothels are in Holland.
However, if you're ever in Vienna and feeling frisky, you should call Erotik-Taxi. This mobile brothel sends out a black Cadillac at the high cost of $250 per hour. This service comes with a chauffer, call-girl/boy, porn, and condoms. The taxi takes a spin around Vienna showing you all the wonderful sites of the city, although I can't imagine the people inside would be paying too much attention to the sights. Vienna Erotik Taxi is owned by www.fetish.at, and is hard to find if you're not in Vienna.
"They're busy making out en route, they haven't got time to take in the sights," said the manager of Vienna Erotik Taxi and the Sweet Dreams escort and modelling agency, who asked to be identified only as Albert. "People come to us because we offer a thrilling alternative to sex at home or in a hotel," he said. Most of the clients are businessmen, who use the service to pick them up at the airport or ferry them around the city between appointments. With the going rate for a house call at $180 an hour, Albert feels his service offers good value at only $70 more. - Reuters
In other news, in an archelogical dig in 1999 archaelogists found the remains of a 19th century brothel owned by Mary Hall only 4 blocks from Capitol Hill in Washington DC.
The first substantial dwelling in Reservation C was a large, three-story, brick dwelling erected in Lot 12 by Mary Ann Hall. According to census records, Hall was a single woman who was in her early twenties at the time she built this large dwelling. The 1840 census indicated that she lived in the house with four other women who were also in their twenties, a free black woman in her late twenties or early thirties, and a black male between the ages of 10 and 24 who was a slave. Although it is not stated in the census, later documentation verifies that Mary Ann Hall was a prostitute, and her large house was a brothel.Mary Ann Hall built her brothel in a convenient location near the U.S. Capitol Building in a city known for its large population of transient men who came from all over the country, usually unaccompanied by women, to transact business in the national capital.
Tax records show that Mary Hall prospered during her first decade in business, the value of her property doubling between 1840 and 1850 and her personal property increasing by more than thirty percent.
Although little published information survives about Mary Ann Hall's brothel or about prostitution in general in nineteenth-century Washington, Hall probably operated her establishment in a manner similar to the high-class "parlor houses" common in New York City at the time. The typical parlor house served men of wealth and distinction in a discreet and elegant environment, each transaction beginning with a shared bottle of champagne provided, at an exorbitant price, by the house. The prostitutes who worked in these houses were noted for their youth, beauty, and social refinement.
In a rare nineteenth-century publication entitled Mysteries and Miseries of America's Great Cities, a full chapter is devoted to illicit activities in Washington, D.C. In the book, the author implies that the nature of Washington as the national capital offered high-class prostitutes additional business opportunities, because they could be hired to use their charms to influence the passage of particular laws on the floors of Congress. If they succeeded, they were rewarded handsomely by the corporate interests who derived benefits from the legislation (Figure 3). - NMAI
