The prostitution scene is very active here. It appears that the police
don't have the resources to combat it. Johannesburg newspapers like
the Star or Citizen have about a full page of adverts for Massage,
Escorts and Personal services.

Many of these are girls working from a flat or home. Some are in
fairly high income areas. Most of these girls work with 1 to 3
companions.  Prices range from SAR150 to SAR 350 ($1 US = SAR
3.65). Full-house is BJ + sex. Anal sex is called Greek here, so look
for adverts that say "A Greek lady..." etc.

There are at least 4 Brothels that I know of. Entrance varies from SAR50 to 
SAR180.
At places that cost more than SAR100, expect free drinks and snacks - one 
place even has buffet lunch all day. Most of these places have 5 - 25 
ladies.
Prices range from SAR300 to SAR500, depending on what you want. Threesomes 
can be had for SAR500. All screwing is with condom, most BJ's are with 
condom. Some of these establishments also offer one-man shows by ladies with 
toys, also lesbian shows.

DON'T pick up street-walkers in Hillbrow or Joubert Park. Unreleased, but 
official stats put HIV infection at about 25%. If you are white, stay out of 
these areas, even in the day, or go in force (a group of about 6 should be 
all right).

If you need any more info, please contact me.
     
Almost forgot. There are all nationalities available Thai, Russian, 
Bulgarian, British, South African (English, Afrikaans, and Black).

Whatever happened to the Quirinale Hotel, in Hillbrow, Johannesburg,
South Africa? I visited it in 1990, and it was a most interesting
place.

hi 

read your piece on prostitution in s.africa.

you left out cape town and its famous dock area which has been home to 
hookers for over 100 years.  "dock road" is the official strip but 
hookers can be found everywhere lately.  in the hotels (esp the "skyline 
hotel") along the main roads, esp. green point and sea point etc

watch out for aids.
