Are there Brothels in Hull? 

The legalisation of brothels, and wider aspects of the sex work industry, have featured prominently in media debates and parliament. Strangely, common themes such as safety, the need to properly address poverty and to protect vulnerable members of society from exploitation stretch across the divide. Both sides look to parliament for the answer, but each expect different answers…

Are Hull massage parlours the same as brothels?

Currently, sex work is legal but running or working in a brothel is not. For some reason a massage parlour can have more than one girl offering sexual services. Interest groups and organisations who are campaigning for the legalisation of brothels stress the need to establish regulated and safe spaces for people (predominantly women) to freely and safely engage in sex work. They cite statistics which point to the increased vulnerability of women who under current UK laws are forced to work alone in socially isolated conditions for fear of arrest or even up to 7 years in prison. In a recent interview Niki Adams, a spokesperson for the English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP), spoke of a recent tragic case where a woman working alone was attacked after which she didn’t want to work alone ever again. Adams explains that she started working from another woman’s flat for her own safety and was quickly arrested for brothel-keeping. Though the case was dropped in court months later (following extensive campaigning from Adams’ own ECP) it shows how the criminalisation of brothels has resulted in truly shocking stories. 

Who benefits from making brothels legal?

The debate is complex and both sides argue their case emotively. However, one thing is clear - by towing the legislative middle-ground the government is endangering more lives than it could be protecting. These lives are predominantly female, disproportionately non-white and have been systematically excluded from the legislative system which propends to protect all citizens. By including spaces where sex work can be safely regulated within the legislative sphere, the government can extend its reach to members of society who have been systematically ignored under the guise of ‘moral politics’. Legalising brothels is a good place to start, and examples of this being done successfully can be found in one of the UK’s closest allies – the US.

The Nevadan Solution

Nevada is the only state in America where brothels (locally referred to as ‘saunas’) are legal. Interestingly, there has recently been a backlash and a movement to restrict this legislation or out-law them entirely. However, when local citizens were polled, an overwhelming majority of people voted to keep them. While statistics are unclear because of the dedication to privacy which most of these ‘saunas’ stake both their pride and their reputation on, it is estimated that these legal brothels service roughly 500,000 patrons each year. They form a lively and growing part of an otherwise stagnant economy, with sex workers routinely reporting take home pay of over 1 million dollars a year (even after giving half their earnings to the houses in which they work). In return, these brothels offer a safe space to conduct business, with many offering routine STI, HIV and AIDs checks, as well as pre checks on customers to drastically minimise the rate of infection. One of the benefits that no one really talks about of formalising sex work in this way (namely by tying it to a physical property) is that it would become a source of considerable financial revenue for local and national authorities. Consider the arguments for business rates – a tax known for being the easiest to enforce and hardest to evade!

The increased tax profit facilitated by legalising Hull escorts and massage girls in Hull could be funnelled into improved social services such as the NHS, social care or even to helping people transition to other lines of work. Remarkably, in an interview the manager of a prominent Nevadan brothel reported that most of her employees transitioned into care work after working in the brothels for a number of years, she stressed the “transferrable skills” learned doing sex work and even described sex work itself as a form of care work.

What are the alternatives to making brothels legal?

Obviously massage parlours in Hull with more than one girl working is the answer for the protction of sex workers. Without a the safe physical and legal space which could be easily facilitated and regulated by legalising brothels, sex workers in Hull are forced to work behind the scenes and rely on informal word of mouth warnings about potentially dangerous customers, or do their own screening through underground online platforms (which are also under review by government, and may be made illegal given the direction of legislative travel within Whitehall). 

Legalisation is the safest, easiest and most lucrative answer

In short, permitting brothels in the UK would benefit the people choosing to work in the industry, help to destigmatise sex work for both the workers and the patrons and further would accrue economic benefits to be enjoyed by Government and wider society. 

What’s the Difference Between an Escort in Hull and a Prostitute? 

To speak in Layman’s terms, when looking up the terms ‘escort’ and ‘prostitute’ in the English Collins Dictionary, there are different definitions for each: 

So, to be a clear definition between the two, but is it always as black and white as this? Do some Hull escorts offer sex in exchange for money? And do some prostitutes in Hull act as a plus one for social events? You may have heard of the popular 90s film ‘Pretty Woman’, a rom-com starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. To summarise the plot, a business man is looking for an escort to accompany him on some networking events. He hires a beautiful prostitute and they sleep together after they first meet. She then spends the weekend with him at various meetings. They then end up falling in love with each other. This is an example of when the line between a prostitute and escort can be blurry. 

Perhaps an escort in Hull can be paid initially to attend a social event, but after getting to know their client and perhaps with the addition of alcohol, the escort may then be open to sexual advances. Equally, a Hull prostitute may sleep with a client and then be asked to be a plus one at their friend’s wedding. But, technically speaking, both the escort and prostitute have provided the service they were paid for, so anything that happens after that is down to their consent. The events that occur after the service can be seen as something that’s completely separate to their work.
