Ignatzmice Forums. Other Cities :: Europe. Receiving sex against money is illegal in France. No club will officially offer it. Those places advertize as lapdancing, sexshop, or "erotic massage", better to avoid. On the underground scene, some massage parlour may offer happy ending, but I can't tell more, never tried, difficult to find. Visible prostitution is only streetwalkers of very low quality, many of them probably on drugs, often north-african or black, HIV quite likely too.
Prostitution in rue Saint Denis almost disappeared during the last 15 years I've been living in Paris, quality really poor, mostly old or ugly women, when not both, if lucky you may find some OK-looking french MILF type in their early 50s.
IMHO, paying for sex in Paris is definitively a don't go. Some years ago 8? My understanding is that they expect you to be staying in one of the expensive hotels nearby and will go to your room with you at a high charge. Are they still around?
I am living near Paris, but don't go anymore for streetwalking at night to chase the girl since the beginning of the s. I never tried a hooker in Paris, too expensive or too shady. Indeed some time ago you could find some upper-class streetwalkers in streets around Champs-Elysees at night. Also on the "Grands Boulevards" less classy and at "Avenue Foch" black women at night, white women waiting in their car during the day.
Over the last 5 years, visible prostitution is declining fast in Paris, due to the laws introduced by now president Sarkozy, tending to fight streetwalking and "passive soliciting" it means women can be arrested just if they look like hookers, even when not actively soliciting males. Women are said to go now on the Internet and advertize themselves as "escort" or, for the less lucky, are rejected to more dangerous part of the suburb woods, deserted area. There is no more visible streetwalker in Paris since the major police crackdown in , led by the former minister of security Nicolas Sarkozy now he is the president.
