A woman who manages a legal brothel in Europe recently disclosed the club’s unique safety protocol known as the “eight-second rule”. Catherine De Noire, a PhD student, oversees the operations of the establishment where women work as independent contractors. The club provides a safe space and security for its workers, with each room equipped with panic buttons for emergency situations.
The “eight-second rule” refers to the response time of the security team after a panic button is pressed. Noire emphasized the importance of safety at the brothel, stating that the security staff undergo regular training and drills to ensure they can swiftly reach a room in case of an emergency. Despite the presence of panic buttons, Noire mentioned that they are rarely used, typically only when a customer overstays their welcome or falls asleep.
Having worked at the brothel for nine years, Noire attested to the lack of serious incidents of aggression during her tenure. She also provided insights into the daily operations of the establishment, revealing that the brothel is closed for cleaning between 6am and 10am before reopening for business. The busiest hours are during lunch breaks and early evening, catering to office workers and married men who want to return home on time.
The brothel sees a surge in activity in the late evening and early morning hours, with a steady flow of customers visiting during these times. Noire’s transparency about the inner workings of the brothel sheds light on the measures taken to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for both workers and clients.
