A brothel manager has made a surprising revelation about the busiest day of the year for the industry.
Catherine De Noire, who manages one of Europe's largest legal brothels, has given her first-hand account of working in the sex industry in an exclusive with LADbible Stories.
The boss has lifted the lid on everything from the life of the house's escorts to the brothel's 'typical clients' and their sometimes bizarre requests.
Catherine said the brothel is extremely busy, explaining: "As there is no typical sex worker, there is no typical client. Every day we have between 500 and 1,000 people coming in."

The manager also made a surprising revelation about one of the busiest days of the year for the brothel - Valentine's Day (February 14).
While you might expect most people to be looking for love or bagging a date for the big day, Catherine revealed that actually lots of people are keen to find connections via her business.
She continued: "We have a lot of young guys coming in to lose their virginity. We have a lot of British groups, like party British groups, coming in.
"We also have a lot of women coming in.

"We have people that are super successful, but they don't have the time or energy to pick up girls."
Catherine said such high-flying customers weigh up the costs and benefits of 'paying a professional' and often finds it 'works the best for them'.
"Sometimes we have married guys coming in and they're like, 'Yeah, it doesn't work, the sex life, but I don't want to find a mistress because I don't want to break the relationship'. So this works the best for them," she added.

It's also popular for perhaps shy LGBTQ+ people or those wanting to experiment.
She said: "Sometimes we have women [who] are curious to try something with other girls but they are not sure about it. So they just come to our place."
The brothel also extends its inclusivity to people of all bodies, shapes and sizes.
Catherine said: "Sometimes we have disabled people because a lot of the sex workers are actually skilled in working with disabled; not everybody, but we do have some."
The boss said there is often a 'misconception' that a person who seeks out companionship or physical intimacy from an escort 'is a loser' but said 'that's not the case'.

"Most of them, they are very successful and also the people that are coming in, they have different fetishes that they would like to explore but maybe [they are] too shy to tell this to their partners, because they might judge them."
She revealed this is particularly true for people who like BDSM but fear the fetish could alter the 'dynamic' in their relationship.
"So they rather decide to pay a professional for those kind of services," Catherine concluded.
