First time writing about this, so bear with me. I've been in Zurich for almost five years now and the difference in how sex work operates here compared to back in London is night and day. In the UK, everything feels dodgy and risky. Underground massage parlours, sketchy Gumtree ads, constant fear of getting caught or running into someone who might recognize you.
Here in Switzerland, it's completely different. Everything's regulated. Clean. Professional. The girls work legally, pay taxes, have health checks. I'm not some moral crusader about sex work, but the Swiss system just makes so much more sense. No shame, no hiding.
My first experience here was actually pretty eye-opening. Went through a proper agency, everything was transparent. Prices are higher than London, sure, but the quality and safety are miles better. No weird power dynamics, no feeling like you're doing something criminal.
Look, I work in finance. Discretion matters to me. And the Swiss understand discretion better than anyone. These encounters are transactional, professional. None of the seedy underground vibes you get in London.
Might write more about specific experiences soon. Still processing how different things are here in the alpine bubble.
