A women who manages a legal brothel has explained the reasons married men visit her.
The reasons married men visit brothels are often more complex than they appear, according to Catherine De Noire, the manager of one of Europe’s largest legal brothels.
In an interview with LADbible, De Noire shared her insights into the motivations behind these visits, offering a rare glimpse into the lives of her clientele.
She revealed that her establishment welcomes between 500 and 1,000 clients daily, with Valentine’s Day being one of their busiest times.
She also described the business as operating like any other, with IT and HR departments, and said they follow an inclusive hiring approach where ‘everyone has a chance.’
While De Noire noted that there is no such thing as a ‘typical’ client, she explained that married men form one of the largest groups frequenting the brothel.
She said many of these men come in because their marital s*x life ‘doesn’t work,’ but they are unwilling to risk their relationships by pursuing a mistress or long-term affair.
On her Instagram, De Noire elaborated on why married men might turn to brothels.
“The absence of physical intimacy – it may be missing in their relationship (due to alienation, lack of time, or medical reasons), so they choose to pay a professional for this experience instead of finding a mistress,” she wrote.
In addition to physical needs, some clients visit seeking emotional connection. “Lack of emotional intimacy—many men go just to talk and be heard,” she explained.
Other reasons include boredom and the desire for excitement.
De Noire said that even when ‘everything seems fine in their relationship,’ some men seek novelty they feel their marriage lacks.
For others, unfulfilled fantasies are the primary motivation. She stated that some clients fear sharing their desires with their partners out of concern for judgment or disrupting the dynamics of their relationship.
“Extraordinary fantasies—they may feel their partners would judge them, or they are too shy to share their fantasies, fearing it might disrupt the dynamics of their partnership,” she noted.
De Noire was careful to emphasize that this behavior is not about assigning blame.
“It’s important to note that this isn’t about assigning blame to either partner or suggesting it’s the man’s fault. Sometimes life unfolds in ways that lead to these choices,” she wrote.
