Reopening the Brothels
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2020 9:55 pm
This may or may not be a controversial subject. I do not intend for it to be. Obviously people were talking to a fence post at the hearings today with no response. Like somebody said "Systematic Passive-aggressive," no comment or reaction. Sadly, if and when and whether they reopen and under what circumstances may or may no be on the table. Who knows? So why bring up the obvious now? Here's why.
Even if the Governor says yes, reopen, how much business has already been lost? How fast will people, providers and clients suddenly flock to the Brothels even without restrictions?
If there are restrictions, such as masks and social distancing, restrictions on activities, then how much more will the business be impacted? Will Courtesans be able to afford to wait for a limited number of customers? Will they have to try to get more per party and will the clients overall be willing to pay it? Will there be enough to cover the lady's time and expense?
Will there be out-of-towners reluctant to fly and also reluctant to risk Cov-19?
Have the so-called replacements and indys hi-jacked some of the business for good? I have seen comments of that nature. Yet there will no doubt be new customers to the Brothels once it is back to normal. It may take a while to rebuild.
Is the industry doomed or will it ever return to "business as usual?" I think it will return. But in what amount of time? Brothels have been in Nevada since the Gold rush I think.
If I were working or employed in a brothel, I would want to know what to expect. Of course, none of us know the answers at this time. Any Courtesan or Brothel employee needs a Plan B in order to survive, obviously. I want to share for the benefit of any LPIN or employee who reads this where I would personally stand from a client point of view. I do not intend to go back until things are almost 100 percent back to normal. The "new normal" for me can include Cov-19 testing, temperature check and possibly even a mask in the lobby but that is the extent that I would allow restrictions before simply staying home. The mask is almost a deal killer for me. Beyond that, I would want the same kind of parties as before, no masks or other restrictions other than the usual ones from before COV-19. It is simply not worth it to me to spend over $500 flying out west, rent a car for $200 and $300 hotel only to enjoy a masked hand job or whatever kind of restriction, while still risking COV-19 by plane or at the ranch. I'd be out a grand before partying which is ok if its "business as usual." In short, COV-19 has ruined it for me, even if they do reopen.
I feel empathy for the ladies in this field. If I were in it, I would be trying to move those same marketing skills to another industry or market. Of course, I do not know what it could be as it depends on the individual as well as available jobs. Many of the ladies do have other options. The escorting might help some of them. I think to sit and wait is no doubt depressing and further demotivating.
Just like the days of Joe Conforte and the collapse of the old Mustang, eventually, it will come back and perhaps even better than before. When? My personal guess is that it may take years to restore the entire system, Courtesans, customer base and without all of the COV-19 issues and precautions. Rachel, I hope that you will either forgive me for posting this or understand that it is because I have empathy for You and your colleagues. Many people are impacted by the shutdown and I think folks should be honest about how they feel if for no other reason than to provide a little feedback. I would guess that there are others that look at it like i do. My own business is down over 75 percent for the year. If there are clients who want to help these ladies, great. Many of our businesses and/or jobs are in similar straits.
We can only hope that if and when a vaccine is developed, that it is a game changer and then the Brothels can return and then start to heal more quickly. I believe that it could still take time, months to years after reopening. I hope that I am wrong. Personally, I miss it. I do not see it coming back any time soon. Disclaimer: I really do not know shit about the Brothel industry but I do know a little about economics and survival.
