What is another word for brothels?

Pronunciation: [bɹˈɒθə͡lz] (IPA)

Brothels are establishments where sexual activities are conducted in exchange for money or other valuable consideration. Synonyms for brothels include bawdy houses, bordellos, houses of ill-repute, red-light districts, bordel, and whorehouses among others. These establishments are often associated with illegal activities such as human trafficking, drug use, and other criminal activities, hence the need to find synonyms to describe them. However, it is important to note that these establishments are illegal in many countries and individuals engaging in such activities may face legal consequences. It is, therefore, important to discourage prostitution and seek better alternatives for women and young girls who may be vulnerable to exploitation in these establishments.

Famous quotes with Brothels

  • Actors didn't use to be celebrities. A hundred years ago, they put the theaters next to the brothels.
    Joseph Gordon-Levitt
  • Police in Washington D.C. are now using cameras to catch drivers who go through red lights. Many congressmen this week opposed the use of the red light cameras incorrectly assuming they were being used for surveillance at local brothels.

  • Anti-feminism is also operating whenever any political group is ready to sacrifice one group of women, one faction, some women, some kinds of women, to any element of sex-class oppression: to pornography, to rape, to battery, to economic exploitation, to reproductive exploitation, to prostitution. There are women all along the male-defined political spectrum, including both extreme ends of it, ready to sacrifice some women, usually not themselves, to the brothels or the farms. The sacrifice is profoundly anti-feminist; it is also profoundly immoral...

  • Some young men could not afford to marry or were statutorily forbidden to do so, and then their visits to Japanese brothels engendered guilt as well as VD. The official attitude to taking brown mistresses was always ambivalent. It let the side down, but a sleeping dictionary was the only way to learn the language. Mr Butcher is good on all this, and he gives such tables as one headed ‘Ethnicity of Women from whom European Men Treated at the Sultan Street Clinic Contracted Venereal Disease, 1927-1931.’ The girls of Siam were the great infectresses, but the Malays came a close second. The Japanese, who had regular medical inspections and lived in brothels cleaner than hotels, were down with the Eurasians to 0.4% in 1931. This damnable sex, by no means to be tamed by quinine or cricket. Guilt guilt guilt....

  • In we meet the ancient honest word . Lawrence believed that it could be cleansed of its centuries of accumulated filth and stalk nakedly through his pages like Connie and Mellors themselves, standing for an act of love which had been too long swaddled in euphemisms. There are many people who cherish the fallacy of a golden age of Anglo-Saxon candour in which lovers invited each other to fuck or be fucked….This was never so. The word has always been taboo. You will find no Anglo-Saxon document which contains it. True, it is old, cognate with the German , but it stands for a brutal act unsuitable for the marriage bed. It connotes impersonality and aggression. When Dr Johnson said that drinking and fucking were the only things worth doing…he was referring to getting drunk and going to brothels. A man can fuck a whore but, unless his wife is a whore, he cannot fuck his wife…. is a…dysphemism….there is no love in it. Lawrence made an aesthetic rather than a moral gaffe….
