REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS?

Aaaaaaaah!… A Nostalgic look into the past

Mermaids Cave, Studio 7, Caesars Retreat, Bubbles, The Harem International & The Pink Palace!

Recognise the names?

Eton Square

I suppose you would need to be nearly 50 years old to remember the many Friday and Saturday nights spent in the confines of Eton Square at 474 St. Kilda Road with a smorgasbord of massage parlours all lined up next to each other.

We were the original pioneers of Melbourne brothels and while many have tried to follow in our footsteps no one has got close.

Many hours were also spent at Barbarinos, the restaurant next door looking down on Eton Square, or even lining up at the takeaway van that use to get there every Friday and Saturday night.

Back then many of you were so innocent and carefree inspired by the thrill of the illegality adding to the spice.

I remember a client going there one night with a group of friends, one of them just old enough to drive and all not having the courage to have a booking, the closest he got was ringing the doorbell and asking how much so they could all get a look at a working girl in lingerie.

During the mid 1970’s to early 1980’s Victoria was known as illegal brothel capital of Australia.

It was not until the mid 1980’s that the illegal commercial sex industry in Victoria underwent significant legislative reform.

The Cain Labour Government introduced the Planning (Brothels) Act 1984 legislation under which brothel owners were able to apply for a planning permit in appropriately zoned areas.

Then later in a bid to address all aspects of the sex industry, the government appointed a state enquiry which made 91 recommendations which led to The Prostitution Regulations Act 1986.

On 7 April 1984, The Pink Palace was the first brothel to be established at 8-16 Palmerston Crescent South Melbourne.

Similarly, The Harem International opened at 55 Park Street South Melbourne on 10 July 1982.

Both businesses operated independently for over 35 years until The Pink Palace building was sold to The Crema Group of property developers in 2017.

We are back!

Soon after in 2019, The Harem and The Pink Palace merged and was masterfully restored and meticulously recreated as a world class 6 Star venue to be known as The Harem Palace.

This magnificent modern-day showpiece is beyond belief with high end luxury on an unprecedented level.

Today, The Harem Palace is the most highly praised 6 Star Establishment in Australia.

Our business logic is simple:
· You are the most important person to our business.
· You are not dependent on us. We are dependent on you.
· You are not an interruption of our work. You are the purpose of it.
· You are not an outsider of our business; you are a part of it.
· We are not doing you a favour by serving you,
· You are doing us a favour by giving us the opportunity to do so.

The Harem Palace – Story Time

MY FIRST TIME VISITING A BROTHEL

MELBOURNE’S HAREM PALACE – Park Street, South Melbourne

Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel is a popular Melbourne brothel located just 5 min from the Melbourne CBD and Crown Casino.

A workmate once mentioned it to me, so I was both curious and nervous as I had never been to a brothel.

I woke to a beautiful Monday morning, and while the rest of the city had gone to work, I was still in bed with the whole day off. I left the bed and headed to my computer to check my overnight e-mails.

My workmate had forwarded me a newsletter from Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel, and before I knew it, I was dialling the number to make some enquiries. This would be the first time I had rung a brothel, let alone been to one.

The phone rang twice, and a very young receptionist answered it and said, “Good morning, thank you for calling Melbourne’s Harem Palace, Jennifer speaking. How may I help you?” At first, I was taken aback by this pleasant, friendly telephone manner and didn’t exactly know what to say. Eventually, I managed to get it out. “Hello, what are your prices and um…what sort of ladies do you have working there now?” Jennifer gave me a complete run down on all the prices and a comprehensive description of every girl who was working on that shift. I sat back and momentarily closed my eyes, trying to envisage the ladies from my description.

By now, I was in the bathroom for a shower and a shave. The next problem was what should I wear when I visit the brothel today. It’s not like I could ask my girlfriend for any advice. I could just see it now…” Babe, should I wear my blue jumper or a shirt and tie when I visit the brothel today?” Nevertheless, I found it strange that I would fuss so much over what to wear, but I guess I wanted to make a good impression.

With that completed, I got into my car and started the short drive to 55 Park Street, South Melbourne. Before long, I was turning into the street and looking for number 55. As I looked for the number, I wondered what the front of the brothel would look like. Would it have red lights on it with large numbers to identify it? To my relief, the front of the building could have looked like just an ordinary office building.

I drove past the establishment and parked in a side street so that my car would not be recognised near the brothel. Now I began my walk, carefully looking around to make sure no one saw me go in. Finally, I made it to the front door, which had a sign “Private and discreet rear entrance.” That would be perfect as I could sneak around the back and enter the premises without anyone seeing me.

So now, the moment had finally arrived, and only the rear door at Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel separated me from having encountered my first visit to a brothel. I rang the intercom and waited a few seconds before a receptionist answered the door. I was warmly greeted almost as much as to think that she was actually pleased to see me. I was asked to follow the receptionist through to a private and discreet waiting room, where I was explained the prices and services, which were hanging up on the wall. The receptionist was extremely friendly but had that school principal look at her so subconsciously that I was on my best behaviour.

Nervously, I sat there watching Foxtel on the television as the ladies entered my private waiting room one by one. Each of the 15 ladies I met wore a short mini skirt with black stay-up stockings and high heels. You would think they were heading out to a nightclub opening up the road at the Crown Casino.

I could not help noticing how attractive and super friendly each and every one of these girls were as they sat down with me to engage in what they provide in their service and other small talk conversations. At the end of this process, the receptionist reappeared and asked me who I would like to stay with.

There were so many gorgeous ladies that I liked that it was really hard to choose just one. However, I decided on Alexis. She was gorgeous. She was in her early 20s, had shoulder-blonde hair and blue eyes, and was very petite and busty, the type you would see out but too afraid to approach for fear of rejection.

So, I was taken back out to the reception, and I booked for 1/2 hour with half being paid to the receptionist to reserve the room. I waited briefly for Alexis to return and take me upstairs. Soon enough, Alexis returned and said, “Hi, good-looking, come with me.” I didn’t need any further encouragement as I followed Alexis upstairs into an allocated nice clean-looking large room. I couldn’t help but notice the extra high level of hygiene in this place. It was awe-inspiring indeed.

I now paid the other half of the money to Alexis for the service, and with the transaction complete, I was asked to participate in a very quick health inspection and then take a shower. Even though I already had one shower that morning, who was I to argue with the procedure? Whilst I was having my shower, Alexis stripped naked and showed off her smoking hot body to me. Suffice it to say I finish my shower in record time and jump onto the nice big soft bed. Not knowing what to expect, I just lay there as Alexis takes control and begins to a nice relaxing body-to-body massage. Moments later, she pours baby oil on me and performs a very sexy body slide up and down my body.

By this time, I was already very aroused, and when Alexis asked me to turn over, she could tell I was ready for some oral sex. Alexis was very soft and gentle and provided what is commonly known as a girlfriend experience. It wasn’t long before I was ready to have sex. I asked Alexis if we could do doggie style and missionary positions as they were my favourites, and I could watch the whole experience of me having sex in the mirrors. What a turn-on it was watching myself having sex with this stunning blonde. Alexis was fantastic as she was so intent on making sure I enjoyed myself and was undoubtedly definitely not going through the motions.

After the buzzer went to signal the end of the booking, I had my third shower for the day, and feeling my usual post-sex remorse, I wasn’t interested in any further small talk conversation. I showered and dressed quickly and was ready to leave long before Alexis had even finished re-dressing. Alexis walked me down the stairs, and I stopped to say goodbye to Jennifer the receptionist, on my way out.

I had a wonderful time at Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel and totally recommend it especially if it’s your first time in a brothel. Next time I won’t be nervous as I know what to expect from the accommodating receptionists and extraordinary ladies.

MY FIRST NIGHT AT MELBOURNE’S HAREM PALACE BROTHEL

MELBOURNE’S HAREM PALACE – Park Street, South Melbourne

My first job in the adult industry was at Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel, which turned out to be one of the best jobs I ever had.

The job matches my personality, and I made many new friends with the other ladies. I took great pleasure and pride in providing sexual pleasure to all the men who would come in to pay for my service.

Not only that, but the amount of money I would make in one night was equivalent to a whole week’s work doing something else. No other job would allow me to work my own flexible hours and make well over $1000 on both Friday and Saturday nights.

I have always been a very materialistic person, and the opportunity to earn this much money really appealed to me. The money would enable me to be able to afford some of those many things on my wish list.

After I finished my studies, I got a job as a hairdresser, working 40-50 hours on my feet for $750 per week after tax. It only lasted four weeks before I quit, as I hated the job, and the money was lousy. Indeed, I can do better than this.

I often thought about working in a brothel but would often talk myself out of it. The fear of the unknown and the thought of having sex with a stranger would make me quite nervous. Nevertheless, I was determined to give it a go, and so I decided to google ‘5 Star brothels’ and found Melbourne’s Harem Palace brothel. I then proceeded to give them a call to arrange an appointment for an interview for the following day.

As the time drew closer, I was starting to get nervous. How do you dress for an interview at a brothel? What if I’m not suitable? What type of questions will they ask? Anyhow I showered and did my hair and put on my make-up. I got dressed up classy and called a taxi to take me there. The moment had arrived.

The taxi pulled up right in front of 55 Park Street, South Melbourne, but from the outside, it just looked like an ordinary office block apart from the signage, which identified the building as Melbourne Harem Palace Brothel.

I buzzed and pushed the door open to go inside. The receptionist greeted me at the door and showed me to a private waiting room momentarily. The manageress then came in to collect me, and I was taken to her office for an interview.

“Did you bring any photo id with you so we can check your age?”
“Yes, I have my passport.”

“Ok, great, so Jodie, have you worked in the adult industry before?”
“No, sorry.”

“Oh, that’s ok. We have a lot of brand-new ladies like yourself coming through lately, so what we will do is take you out the back to meet the other ladies and show you around. So, after just 5 minutes, the interview ended, and it looked like I got the job. It was that easy.

The following night I arrived for work and spent the first few minutes gossiping with other ladies while I put on my make-up and brushed my hair. For the remainder of the night, I was no longer Jodie. I now assumed my new alias name, Violet.

I always started my shift between 7 pm and 9 pm at night and always brought my large work bag with me. Inside this bag, I had my purse, house keys, crosswords to pass the time when I wasn’t booked, short sexy dresses, matching lingerie sets, high heels, make-up, cosmetics, hairbrush, and perfume, just to name a few.

Once I had applied my make-up and finished getting dressed, I was ready to join the other ladies meeting clients who would come in. On average, I would see between 6-8 clients per night and work 4 weekly shifts.

Whenever a client arrived at the brothel, he usually asked to meet all the ladies in the private waiting room. This was the lady’s opportunity to win him over. I always found good eye contact, sexy body language, and fluent communication very important.

After the client had met all the available ladies, the receptionist on duty would return to the private waiting room and find out whom the client wished to see and for how long. The client would then pay the receptionist 50%, and the other 50% would be placed in a small folder and given back to the client to pay the lady directly. This arrangement ensures that the lady is not an employee of the house but an independent contractor who pays the house for the use of the room and collects payment for the service directly from the client.

I met the client and then returned to the girl’s ladies’ lounge, which consisted of a kitchen, lockers, make-up areas, sofa lounge, flat-screen plasma television, and CCTV footage of the waiting rooms awaiting the result.

After the receptionist has spoken to the client, she informs that the client has chosen me and the length of time of the booking. I then return to the waiting room to collect my client and receive a folder from him with the payment for my service.

I then take my client upstairs to my designated room. There I make a quick visual inspection of the client’s penis and surrounding areas to ensure no apparent signs of STIs. Once completed, I tell my client to shower quickly, and I leave the room to return downstairs to put my money away in my locker. After a few minutes, I would return to the room and lower my client onto the bed, whereby we would get down to pleasure.

Most clients didn’t know what they wanted, so my routine was to give them a very passionate girlfriend experience with lots of teasing and pleasing, using all the mirrors so my client could watch all the action while it was happening. Dirty talk and moaning were a real turn-on for a client and made my job much more manageable. Once the client came, we would just lay there cuddling and kissing. I felt so satisfied with the pleasure I could give my clients. At the end of the booking, we would reset our rooms, presenting them in a manner comparable to a five-star hotel.

I never found clients disgusting. Most clients are pretty lovely, just looking for sex and companionship, but mentally the job can be quite draining as no two clients are the same.

There is always a risk that a client might become dangerous, but all our clients are on CCTV from the moment they enter the premises, and there are panic buttons on either side of the bed. Once a panic button is pressed, the manager on duty will enter your room immediately, as she can access the room even though it’s locked inside.

We were told from the outset never to give our mobile phone numbers or accept rides home from clients, and I have always obeyed these rules.

The job was fun while at the same time allowing me to make a lot of money which I did.
