Sex Budapest

We consider it very important to set the record straight at the beginning: in Hungary providing support for any kind of sexual services is against the law. Prostitution itself is not a crime, but providing support for it or deriving any kind of profit from it is.

Despite this Budapest is known to many as the capital of sex. They make no secret of the fact that they travel here because of the extensive sex industry and because the prices of sexual services are lower. Another thing that makes this possible is the current attitude of the law enforcement agencies, who turn a blind eye to the enterprises involved with and active in the sex industry. This attitude is only changed if the enterprise in question refuses to play by the rules. Unfortunately this is not exactly rare at Budapest's nightlife. It is about this that we would like to share a few thoughts with our readers:

When communism fell in Hungary and the borders were opened, an invasion of foreign tourists began. At the same time foreign investments mushroomed as well, the majority of the enterprises established during this period were joint ventures.

Budapest nightlife - girls, tourists & the sex industry

The foreigners (tourists, businessmen) concentrated in the capital started to discover the girls of Budapest and the possibilities it offered. The most striking thing in this era must have been the enormous difference between the prices. If you were trying to spend a Western salary here, you practically felt like everything was for free. Sex included. Another absolutely palpable difference was and still is the beauty of Hungarian girls. Usually not many people could resist the temptation and started pouring almost all of their money into Budapest nightlife, more specifically into the sex industry.

At the same time, concurrently with the boom of the sex industry of Budapest nightlife, many negative tendencies began as well. Frauds against foreigners and enterprises based on ripping off tourists almost became the norm. Besides night clubs, many hotels, taxi drivers and tiny brothels operated in private apartments also participated in this. Escort services were no exception, and as these service providers still refuse to learn from their mistakes, they are to this day to be considered as dangerous, not recommended. This negative tendency and the spread of the internet meant that the bad news started spreading all over Europe and all over the world. The big initial success of the sex market gave way to an unforeseen recession that can be felt to this day. This started two processes.

1. Enterprises with a fair and honest attitude invested money, expertise and a lot of work into stopping this trend and turning the tide.
2. As there were less and less guests, many dishonest clubs, often associated with criminals, started desperately offering bigger and bigger, more and more unrealistic per person fees and bonuses to every taxi driver or hotel receptionist who would bring or send guests to them. This led to more corruption and even bigger frauds and rip offs.

Fortunately most of these clubs have now gone bankrupt. Word quickly spread on the internet and the few guests they still managed to trick were not anymore enough for survival. Of course there still are a few of these, but most of them are agonising and will hopefully close within the foreseeable future. The good news is that many honest nightclubs managed to survive this crisis and are now enjoying something of a renaissance.

A few words about escort services:

In our experience escort services can give you many negative experiences. For starters there is no guarantee in Budapest that you get the girl found on the webpage or in the catalogues much preferred by hotels. Of course they will promise you everything on the phone, offering relatively good prices, but this is not the reality. Only when the lady does actually arrive are you faced with what you got yourself into. Of course many people try to send her away at this point, but a serious fee is charged for so called field work. If you do go through with the deal, you still have to consider the possibility that your valuables aren’t safe. During these little sessions many thefts happen, and because of this it is better to completely steer clear of these services.

Smaller brothels hidden in private houses:

Well, neither these come recommended. Besides the less than appealing atmosphere, these businesses are operated like factories. At this conveyor belt of sex you are lucky to get half an hour if you pay for sixty minutes and an “extra category” price is charged for practically everything. It’s enough to touch the bottom of the girl and you are charged the extra fee, so at the end of the day you don’t pay less than in a night club, but you are bound to end up getting much less.

Considering the above, what we definitely do recommend is to get some information and choose an honest club if sex is on the cards while visiting Budapest... Specialised independent sites written and shaped by their visitors, just like this one, will help you find your way and choose the best place. If you decide where to go out on the basis of the information offered by these sites, you can be sure there won’t be any unpleasant surprises and you can return home having had a great time visiting Budapest.
