The 31-year-old, who runs one of Europe’s biggest legal brothels, recently revealed that she has seen a mother and daughter working together, and has witnessed some bizarre role play, which left her open-mouthed.
And now, the brothel manager, who revealed she has seen many men cheat on their wives, has revealed the most common way they get caught.
“The first thing is that a lot of guys don’t carry enough cash,” Catherine said. “So then they go and withdraw money from an ATM, which is usually somewhere near the brothel or inside the brothel.
“This is usually very suspicious, especially when you see that your partner withdraws a lot of money at 4 am in this area, and the account is a shared one.”
Catherine added that another common way men get caught cheating is if they leave their shared location on, so their wives can see exactly where they are.
Although it may seem that this could easily be avoided with a bit of common sense, Catherine revealed that many men get caught up in the excitement, and forget to turn their location.
Sharing another common reason, she said: “Another way wives and girlfriends have found out is by finding tickets to the brothel in their partners pockets,” she revealed.
“When you want to enter, you buy a ticket that is valid for 24 hours, so often the guys like to put it inside their pocket and maybe come back the next day… but sometimes they forget about it, and they get found out.”
The busiest time at Catherine’s brothel is between 3 and 5pm, which she revealed is because men often nip out in their lunch breaks.
“Some of these guys aren’t very good at being sneaky, but others are really good at hiding it”, she said.
“We have a lot of guys coming during their lunch break because it’s easy to just tell their boss they are having this lunch with a client, and then they just go to the brothel.”
Catherine revealed that she thinks that up to 70% of the men who visit her brothel are in relationships.
Discussing why she thinks so many married men visit her establishment, she said: “The marriage might not be working but they don’t want to break it, or they might have a very specific erotic fantasy they want to explore but are too afraid to ask their partner and be judged for it.
“I see this a lot with BDSM as this is something a lot of men come in for, and they don’t want to engage in it with their partners because the relationship dynamic could shift.
Are brothels legal in the UK?
There has been a growing debate in the UK about whether brothels should be legalised, following the emergence of pop-up brothels across the country. These temporary establishments, often set up in residential areas, have sparked concerns among local communities and law enforcement agencies. The current legal framework in the UK criminalises the operation of brothels, but individual sex work is permitted. This has led to a complex and often problematic situation for those involved in the industry.
Advocates for legalising brothels argue that regulation could improve safety and working conditions for sex workers. By bringing the industry out of the shadows, they believe that sex workers would have better access to health services and legal protection, reducing the risks of exploitation and violence. Furthermore, regulated brothels could be subject to health and safety standards, ensuring a safer environment for both workers and clients.
On the other hand, opponents of legalisation worry that it could lead to an increase in human trafficking and exploitation. They argue that normalising the sex industry might encourage more people to become involved in it, both as workers and clients. Additionally, there are concerns about the impact on local communities, with fears that legalised brothels could lead to an increase in crime and antisocial behaviour in residential areas.
As the debate continues, it is clear that there are no easy answers. Balancing the rights and safety of sex workers with the concerns of local communities and broader societal impacts remains a complex challenge. Policymakers will need to carefully consider the potential benefits and drawbacks of legalising brothels in the UK, taking into account the experiences of other countries that have taken similar steps.
Catherine previously told News.au how she got in to the adult industry.
She explained that she stumbled into the industry after coming across a paper from a manager of a brothel. It was called They Call Me A Pimp But I Protect Women and discussed the way women are treated and the legalities of legal brothels.
“It basically said how this business is the same as any other business,” she said.
“It got me thinking. I finished the article and I was like, ‘I want to do this. This is my dream job.’”
While she had no experience in sex work or management, she decided to apply for a role as a brothel manager.
She got the role and has now been happily managing the brothel for nine years.
