I visited Ina in Studio Cindarella (Arnsteingasse 30) and paid for a hour. She was very nice and her body was the same I saw previously. The studio is not the best one I have ever seen but Ina performed very well.
She is not a super thin girl she is a feminine one with quite big breasts and good ass. She was also communicative and did everything what I asked. She did the blowjob with passion and the sex was in different positions, we finished in doggy. She did not push me to hurry and I was able to finish as I wanted.
A 31 years old Hungarian man had to answer the court's question in Wiener Neustadt. He forced a prostitute to share her earnings with him for 3 years. The woman worked as prostitute in Laufhauses in Leoben, Wiener Neustadt and Neunkirchen. Over the years the woman gave him 180 000 Euros but he says, the sex worker shared her earnings with him voluntaliry.
This is sad: a loverboy in Cologne seduced a young woman and turner her into prostitute. After the girl felt love with him, he told her a fake story that he needs money urgently. The girl started to work as prostitute and gave her money to the 25 year-old loverboy.
So far this is a regular story about an ingenue but what is strange that she lived in the same city as her mother. They meet each other regularly and the mother also realised that someting was wrong. But the girl did not tell her anything and worked for a longer period as sex worker. She even was hit by the loverboy.
I would like to open a new studio in Vienna, but I need more information how to do it. I am from Hungary but speak both on English and German. You mentioned a Hungarian studio in Vienna, I would like to have a similar one.
I am from 9th district of Budapest and I know many prostitutes from 8th and 9th district. But they don't speak German or English. I also have some friends who are big as hell and would be ideal as security guards. They also don't speak languages.
I learnt that a studio can be opened in a former commercial or retailer building and know that the girls should have different kind of health examinations and a police license. But I don't know how much money is needed to rent a place for the studio. If even rental is possible.
I also learnt that I should heavily advertise ourselves in the best Vienna forums and build up the reputation there. Luckily, this would be the easiest part, I can manage the online part. The prostitutes are also clean and reliable, so we can be a good and reliable studio.
The money part is the hardest thing, can you give me an estimation how much money is needed for this idea? And one more, should I prepare myself for visits of criminals, like paying money for gangs to have "protection"?
Five persons were arrested who operated their illegal business in Italy, Greece and Austria. Women paid 40000 Euros for their trip from Africa to Italy but after arriving to Europe, they were forced to work as prostitute. They worked in Austria as well. Underage women were also forced.
In this thread, you can read our articles related to the issue of illegal prostitution in Vienna.
What is the legal status of prostitution in Vienna?
First, it’s important to know that prostitution is legal in Vienna. But that doesn’t mean anyone can work anywhere or however they like. The law has very clear rules to protect both sex workers and the public.
In Vienna, sex work is allowed only under specific conditions. Legal prostitution can happen:
In licensed brothels
Through registered escort services
In designated areas approved by the city
To work legally, a sex worker must:
Register with the authorities
Undergo regular health checks
Pay taxes and contributions, just like in any other job
Why is prostitution in apartments illegal?
Even though prostitution is legal in Vienna, offering sexual services in private apartments without proper licensing is against the law. That includes:
Setting up your own business in a rented apartment
Hosting clients at home without registration
Working in places that are not authorized for sex work
The main reason behind this rule is safety and control. When sex work happens in hidden places like unregistered apartments, the city can’t make sure the laws are being followed. That means higher risks for everyone.
This kind of illegal activity is often called "apartment prostitution", and it's been growing in recent years — especially through online platforms that advertise unregistered services.
What are the disadvantages of illegal prostitution?
Illegal prostitution creates many serious problems.
1. Health risks: Legal sex workers in Vienna are required to go for regular health check-ups, including tests for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). This helps protect both workers and clients. But in illegal apartment prostitution, there are no health checks. That means diseases can spread much more easily. Clients may not realize they’re putting themselves or others at risk.
2. No safety measures: Licensed brothels are required to meet strict safety standards. This includes secure premises, trained staff, and protocols in case something goes wrong. But in illegal apartments, there’s no protection. Sex workers are more vulnerable to abuse, robbery, or even trafficking. Many are controlled by criminal networks.
3. Unpaid taxes and social contributions: People working in the legal system have to pay income taxes, social insurance contributions, health insurance, chamber of commerce fees (if self-employed). Illegal workers don’t pay any of these. That means they benefit without giving anything back to the system. It also creates an unfair playing field.
4. Unfair competition against legal brothels: Running a legal brothel is very expensive. Owners must pay high licensing fees, taxes on earnings, insurance for workers and property costs. On top of that, they must comply with city inspections, health codes, and security requirements. But illegal operators in apartments skip all of that. They don’t pay taxes or fees, and they often don’t follow any rules. That makes it very hard for legal businesses to survive. Some are even being forced to close.
5. Criminal involvement: Illegal prostitution is often connected to organized crime. That includes human trafficking, coercion and exploitation and drug trafficking. When prostitution goes underground, it’s easier for criminals to hide what they’re doing. Some workers are brought to Vienna by force or tricked into working illegally. They may not even know they’re breaking the law.
6. Harm to neighborhoods and residents: When illegal prostitution happens in normal apartment buildings, neighbors are often affected. Complaints include strange people coming and going, loud noise at night, damaged property and drug use or other criminal behavior. This creates tension in the community, and many residents don’t feel safe in their own buildings. It also brings down the value of property in the area.
What is the city doing about it?
Vienna authorities are aware of the problem. Police regularly raid illegal apartments and shut down operations. In 2023 alone, they inspected over 200 apartments and found hundreds of violations.
Still, the problem is hard to solve because many illegal services are advertised online and move locations often. Some people believe the city should update its laws to better regulate new forms of sex work, while others call for stricter penalties.
It is the year 2020. and it truly baffles me that so many establishments in Austria have almost no online presence. A new laufhaus was recently opened in Vienna by people who already operate laufhauses in other area and they invested heavily in the new place but if someone did not post it on this forum i would have no idea it opened. Naturally the new place is a monumental failure, i wrote about my experience there and it seems to be even worse now. Why do so many businesses in Vienna, even the successful ones such as Goldentime or Babylon, have horribly dated useless websites? The only business in Vienna that tries to work on their image seems to be Maxim, and even they are not doing it as well as they could.
I would like the contrast all this with an Austrian club that does it right - Wellcum. They have a modern often updated website in multiple languages. They almost always have special promotions, parties, shows, guest pornstars, events etc. They have a second good quality clean website just for the girls' profiles that contains high quality pictures(unlike Maxim) but they do not go overboard with photoshop(unlike Zollgasse chain) so you can actually tell what the girls look like. There you can also see exactly on which dates each girl is present.
But it doesn't stop there. Wellcum is very active on social media, they update their Instagram and Twitter daily with pics of girls, promotions, announcing when a new girl joins their line up etc. They also have a Telegram group where they post exclusive clips of their girls and other info. They also put in effort to advertise to girls as well and attract new talent and help them get started. Their approach leads to a successful business, they advertise to men ad when they come, the girls make money and thus other girls hear about it they want to come work there. When a lot of girls are present and are announced on the site and promoted heavily on social media by Wellcum naturally even more guys come, and this creates a positive cycle which caused Wellcome to become by far the best club in Austria, and quite possibly in Europe despite their remote location(although they do take advantage of the Italian clientele). If Wellum was located in Vienna they would no doubt be the number one club in Europe by a large margin.
Now compare Goldentime's site and online presence to Wellcum's it is just sad.
I've visiting Vienna for work (from the US) for a couple of days and looking for a recommendation of a no hassle agency, meaning one that it is known upfront what you pay for and there's no up sell for extra service (with of course the designated service and price are known and agreed upon upfront).
will be staying Innere Stadt (I think that's how its called).
