Brothel

A brothel, strumpet house, bordello, bawdy house, ranch,[2] house of ill repute, house of ill fame, or whorehouse is a place where people engage in sexual activity with prostitutes.[3] For legal or cultural reasons, establishments often describe themselves as massage parlors, bars, strip clubs, body rub parlours, studios, or by some other description. Sex work in a brothel is considered safer than street prostitution.[4]
