Most Innovative Brothels

Cracked, who apparently can't write unless they're counting something, has a list of the most innovative brothels in the world. While none seem to have anything to do with robots, I guess altering the whorehouse business model can be seen as innovative, if you're a MBA with an interest in managing fucking establishments.



Of course, I'm all over #3, the Soaplands, those soapy-with-sex brothels in Japan...the name came because Turkey objected to the name 'turkish baths', so soaplands was was chosen. Too bad about this rule, though: like a lot of higher-end prostitutes in Japan, it's off-limits to foreigners.

Mustang Ranch Resort

Lately I've been getting spam for the Mustang Ranch Resort in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The spam reads:

ALL INCLUSIVE ADULT RESORT.
1 HOUR FLIGHT FROM MIAMI.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS

ALL MADE TO ORDER MEALS FROM OUR EXTENSIVE MENU.

ALL YOU CAN DRINK UNTIL MIDNIGHT.

ALL TRANSPORTS TO HOTEL, AIRPORT AND ADULT CLUBS.

ONE OF OUR ADULT COMPANIONS EVERYDAY INCLUDED.

OVER 80 WOMEN TO PICK FROM.

179.000 USD PER NIGHT!!!!
VISIT OR WEB SITE TODAY WWW.MUSTANGRANCHRESORT.COM

Ah, it's not just some swinger's club -- they're offering an 'adult companion' every day -- according to their site, for only 4 hours, but my guess is that's plenty for most men. But, wait -- isn't Puerto Plata the kind of place that frowns on prosti--er, I mean 'escorts'? Yes, it's illegal, but if you trust the Mustang Ranch Resort's FAQ: Our thousand and thousand clients who have visited Night Club can assure you that Night Club & Rio and now our New Mustang Ranch all inclusive resort is completely legal. The D.R. is governed by the more liberal European Laws. Which lend legal support to our activities. No reason to be nervous or concerned. Well, that us until you read a bit and find that the resort was shut down by the government (see page 3 here) for "engaging in prostitution, failing to have the correct permits, and detrimentally affecting the surrounding area." So, if you're interested in going to a foreign country where the US has little power, participating in an illegal activity, and hoping nothing goes wrong, this is the place for you! I suppose, if you're interested in this sort of travel experience, you're looking for a little excitement. If you're not that adventurous and value your, well, everything, you might be better off sticking in the United States, getting a reservation at the resort's namesake, and having your way with a legal American prostitute.

German Brothel Interior Decorators Are Nuts

While I haven't had the chance to frequent any high-priced brothels (yes, I know, I haven't really lived...), a German photographer has been nice enough to visit a few, and show us all what they look like inside. The customers who visit these rooms probably don't look closely at their surroundings (after all, that's not why they're there), I'm certain the decorations do have impact on their experience.
