Well known legal brothel recommendations and NZ sex worker laws

[virginsuicide]

Hi fellow Kiwis out there, hope I reach someone....

I was wondering if you could recommend me a (or few) brothel, NZ wide and well known to operate legally and ethically like Langtrees (don't know much about Langtrees but from what I have read so far it seems to be)?

It took me ages to find Langtrees so hope to take the short cut with NZ and find a good brothel by asking here

Also, the laws in NZ, is it as strict as it is in Australia (e.g. I have to get an ABN number if I want to deposit my work money in my bank )?

Is it compulsory to register/ provide my ID or just work anonymously (work name) and still be able to deposit money in my bank?

I did write a thread on this web asking info on working in Australia but it's not what I thought so I'd like to know about working in NZ and weigh my options (I will try to read all the thread under NZ and go to the NZ sex worker support group web page but thought I'd try asking here too).

Last thread here seems few months back but look forward to hearing from someone. Yours Sincerely, VS

A question that many visitors to New Zealand ask is "Is prostitution legal in New Zealand?"

The answer is "yes" and, in fact, New Zealand now has some of the most liberal prostitution and sex laws of any country in the world. Unlike what many people feared, these relaxed attitudes have not led to any more significant problems than elsewhere, and sex workers are given good protection by the police. Sex slavery and underage prostitution are not legal in New Zealand.

In 2003, laws were passed in New Zealand making prostitution legal. Prior to that date prostitution was widespread but hidden under the front of massage parlors. The change in the law was welcomed by many as it gave sex workers recognition and rights and access to police protection if necessary.

Now there are brothels and sex services available throughout New Zealand, although generally more evident in the larger towns and cities. With a third of New Zealand's population, Auckland has by far the largest range of services. In smaller centers, services may be available through escorts and private workers. Details can generally be found in the local newspapers or online (other forms of advertising are not permitted).

It's important to note that the legalization of prostitution in New Zealand applies only to New Zealand citizens and residents — it remains illegal for visitors on temporary visas to work in the country's sex industry.

Street Prostitution
This is confined to certain areas in the major cities. Street prostitutes usually operate in the evenings and at night, so if you are walking around these areas during the day you are unlikely to encounter any.

Escort Agencies and Brothels
There are brothels and escort agencies in all of the main centers. There are no 'red light' areas as such in New Zealand, although there are places where strip clubs and brothels tend to be concentrated. In Auckland, they are in Karangahape Road and Fort Street, both in the central city.

Sex and Swingers Clubs
Although not strictly speaking "pay for sex" operations, there are some clubs in New Zealand that permit sexual activity to take place and which charge an entrance fee. Generally, only couples or single females are admitted. The swinger scene is very small in New Zealand, but swinger clubs do exist.

Safe Sex
It goes without saying that if you engage in any sexual activity you should practice safe sex (use condoms). All reputable sex workers in New Zealand will require this as it is, in fact, a legal requirement. It is also obviously for your own protection; New Zealand has fairly high levels of sexually transmitted diseases.

Sex and Crime
Although prostitution is legal in New Zealand, there are elements of the industry that do get caught up in crime and illegal drugs. If you are offered drugs, ensure you know which ones are illegal as the penalties for use can be severe. However, there is little evidence of much other crime amongst prostitutes. Even with a street worker, you are unlikely to get robbed or hurt. Brothels are even safer and rely on being reputable.

If you are the victim of any crime, report it to the police at once (the emergency number is 111).

New Zealand is a liberal society, and prostitution is tolerated to a degree seen in not many other countries in the world.

Its illegal for foreigners to do sex work in NZ under section 19, if customs suspects you they will not let you in so do not bring loads of condoms etc. Ensure your phone has not got evidence of the job on it.
