Catherine De Noire, a PhD student and manager of a legal brothel, has shed light on the curious schedules and activities that unfold within the walls of her establishment. Her revelations offer a glimpse into the habits of clients, especially those who use their visits to cheat on their partners.
A Peek Into the Daily Routine
The brothel operates on a carefully orchestrated schedule. It remains closed from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. for cleaning its 100 rooms, before opening again. The first influx of clients, De Noire notes, typically occurs around midday.
“Men who finish work early often stop by. These are usually married men who need to be home on time and can’t stay for the night,” she explained.
Evenings start slowly between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. as workers prepare for their shifts. The busiest hours, however, fall between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., when hundreds of clients, many arriving after late-night parties, keep the staff—bartenders, receptionists, cleaners, and workers—on their toes. By 5 a.m., the crowds dissipate, and the workers spend the final hour reflecting on the night's events.
Surprising Client Behaviors
De Noire also shared anecdotes of bizarre and unexpected client behavior. One man paid a worker $4,500 for a peculiar outing—he drove her to a cemetery, shared a cigarette with her, and drove her straight back. Another arrived dressed as a polar bear for a role-playing session.
One client requested to role-play as a plumber, spending the entire session fixing a toilet. In a more dramatic twist, a worker once accidentally set a room on fire.
Perhaps the most unusual situation involved a husband and wife unknowingly working at the same establishment—she as a Monday-only worker and he as an occasional Friday visitor. Despite their overlapping worlds, their paths never crossed.
Drama Outside the Rooms
De Noire revealed that jealous partners occasionally track their significant others to the brothel, leading to confrontations at the premises. “Screaming matches are not uncommon,” she remarked.
Social Media Fascination
De Noire’s insights have captivated social media users. Many were intrigued by the behind-the-scenes details. “This is very interesting, sounds like long days,” one user commented, while another urged her to share more stories.
Her viral tales have also highlighted the secretive nature of infidelity. “If I were to go, it would definitely be first thing,” joked one commenter.
A Look at the Bigger Picture
De Noire’s stories provide a rare glimpse into an often-hidden industry and its interplay with human relationships, deception, and unusual desires. While her work may be unconventional, her candid accounts continue to spark widespread interest and conversation.
