The municipal brothel and the public baths
are closed during epidemics, just as commercial gatherings
and dancing throughout the communities are
prohibited. Normally, however, brothels are open
all day, every day. Some brothelers have their whores
undress in front of potential clients while in the
brothel, so that the client may make a good decision.
The number of whores in the municipal
brothel of a community tends to be 1% of the total
population. However, this does not include private
brothels, public baths, freelancers and vagabonds,
courtesans, and of course, the occasional easy
woman with loose morals.
A female brotheler may be a wife who manages
whores to improve her family budget with the
consent of her husband. A brothel may have a
procuress. A procuress is an experienced whore who
recruits new whores. A successful procuress must
be knowledgeable and persuasive. A procuress recruits
rape victims, abandoned females, and solicits
wives who feel constrained by marriage, as well as
wives who are beaten. A procuress even recruits
new whores at hospitals.
Although brothels do not accept married
men, those who are foreign to the community are
not turned away. Except in bugbear brothels, a
whore in a brothel rarely mentions clients who demand
anal sex. Heterosexual sodomy is less frequent
than bestiality.
The rape of a whore of a public brothel is
punishable by a fee of 10 s.p. The rape of easy
women who have exposed themselves in public
places or in the private brothel is not punishable.
