Europe's largest brothel has just opened in a land where no fewer than 39 per cent of men admit to visiting sex workers

Now, we've discussed brothels before - so, let's stay off that topic..
What is intriguing is the number who say they have visited such establishments.... Does it seem a little high ?????

The Spanish economy may be dangerously close to meltdown this week but one area at least – prostitution – appears to be doing very nicely, thank you.

Cut to a Saturday night inside the said Don Jose "club" – three storeys high, flashing neon lights, two bars, a VIP zone and some 70 sex workers, clad in everything from nightgowns to G-strings to the very briefest of shorts – and, according to local regulars, business is booming. "The place is heaving every weekend," comments "Alvaro", an experienced brothel-goer in his late forties. "These days in the afternoons and early evenings, you'll get businessmen who've told their wives they're at meetings. Then later on, there are hordes of 18- or 19-year-olds, just there to have a laugh and, if they want, have a quick lay as well."

Prostitution is so popular (and socially accepted) in Spain that a United Nations study reports that 39 per cent of all Spanish men have used a prostitute's services at least once. A Spanish Health Ministry survey in 2009 put the percentage of one-time prostitute users at 32 per cent: lower than the UN figure, perhaps, but far higher than the 14 per cent in liberal-minded Holland, or in Britain, where the figure is reported to oscillate between 5 and 10 per cent. And that was just those men willing to admit it.

To meet this vast demand, an estimated 300,000 prostitutes are working in Spain.

As the clubs get larger, the clients get younger. According to studies carried out for the Spanish Association for the Social Reintegration of Female Prostitutes (Apramp), back in 1998 the typical client was a 40-year-old married male. By 2005, however, the average age had dropped to 30 – and it appears to be getting lower. "The kids are going because they see it as a quick way of getting what would take a lot longer to happen if they went to a disco," Alvaro says. "You've got the money, you choose the woman you want and it's all over and done with." His own logic is even more brutal: "I go when I don't have a girlfriend."

Britexpat had a nice time with a chinese doll from Ramada one night at her place.. In the morning when Brit got up to leave, the girl said "What about the money"

Britexpat," Naah I won't take any from you, you were good" :(

A prostitute goes shopping and pays with a 500 riyal note.

"I'm very sorry, miss," said the shopkeeper, "but this note is counterfeit. "

"Oh, my God," she screamed, "I've been raped!"

Luckily timebandit is too old for these type of things.. It's only platonic relations for him :O(

And by the way, do you have any official statistics. Or are you just making a 'racist' comment?

By anonymous• 6 Dec 2010 12:09

Your mercy is highly appreciated. But what about TimeBandit? I think he/she is older than me.

By dandrough• 6 Dec 2010 12:07

This is beyond good and bad. This is you trying to be a racist smart ass. I simply said the population of prostitutes in spain 300k is more than qataris in qatar around 200K. You seriously didn't get that?

But then I just checked your profile, and you're underage. so it stops here.

By anonymous• 6 Dec 2010 11:59

Is that true? So, there are many customers in YOUR country (whichever it maybe). Congrats. Shame on YOUR male people then. There would be no business if YOUR people were "good."

By dandrough• 6 Dec 2010 11:57

@lincolnpirate what i meant is that prostitutes of your ilk are a majority in my country.

Wow he is well informed. Perhaps he writes travel guides of ill repute ;)

By anonymous• 6 Dec 2010 11:43

He means that they are more expensive than Qatari prostitutes.

By timebandit• 6 Dec 2010 11:42

Do you mean how much they charge dandrough?

By dandrough• 6 Dec 2010 11:35

Prostitutes in spain are more than qataris in qatar, lol.

Good to get back on track... :O0

It seems that the client demographics are changing.. Younger men are frequenting these establishments just to get rid of their "frustrations"

britey... take me along... maybe we can get a discount...

Germany had discounts for those who come on bicycles.....

By GodFather.• 6 Dec 2010 09:19

On a serious note..Most of the women in these Brothels are trafficked from Eastern Europe to work in these clubs.

90% of the women are not from Spain!

By GodFather.• 6 Dec 2010 09:18
GodFather.

Rightly put TB...It does make sense,, why get wasted in the discos on Alcopops then trying to pull a bird who has a boyfriend already for a shag on the beach.. When you can go and get laid in nice bed and your guranteed to get happy ending!

"The kids are going because they see it as a quick way of getting what would take a lot longer to happen if they went to a disco," Alvaro says. "You've got the money, you choose the woman you want and it's all over and done with."

Makes good economical sense for those on a tight budget, there is no gamble as you know you are going to pull, and there are less drunks in the street as these guys get what they want and then go home and watch TV with their parents before a mug of cocoa and bed.
