d'Aribau & Mariā Cubí clubs
This area north of Diagonal has around 10 different cocktail bars where you can drink, talk to pretty girls, buy pretty girls champagne and fuck them on site.
I visited several of the clubs in this area, and I liked them. They all have a similar setup, you either pay 15-20 euro entry and get one drink or get in free and have to pay 10-20/ per drink. the girls come and try to convice you to either buy them drinks: a msall drink copa for 30-50 euros, champagne for 60-3000 euros. To fuck them was pretty good value (at least compared to champagne) 120-150/half hour. Some girls did allow anal.
New Aribau & Diamonds are the ones most mentioned on this forum but there are 2 clubs on Mariā Cubí, close to Diamonds + one on d'Aribau just around the corner from Diamnonds that in my opinion, on the day I visited, was better that both these clubs. I don't remember names of the clubs but there are 6 clubs in an area of 3mins walking. Looks of girls 6-9, Spanish, EE, a lot of Romanian, Colombian, less than 10% had silicone tits. some girls seemed pretty horny and let me feel ass, kiss them, look at pussy without buying them drink. average club had 15girls and only 3 male customer at midnight Monday.
Pub 240 was also great, 20 girls, maybe 5 customers. Diamonds and New Aribau was very empty at my visits.
I got too drunk so did not fuck.
Not any metro station really close, I got off at metro: Diagonal and walked 10minutes
Best in my opinion is to arrive around 11, some
sex slavery & trafficking propaganda
[QUOTE=AlanGiven]The recent channel 4 documentary on UK television was about sex trafficking in England with a worldwide theme. Girl are 'purchased ' in China and other parts of SE Asia and set to work in brothels under trebbible conditions. Once in the UK the girl was little more than a slave and keep behind closed doors sometime seeing 15 men a day. Of course the girl did not see any of the money and had to work until she paid off the 'debt' that she owed to the traffickers. A really sordid and sorry tail of cruelty and expoltation.
Does anyone know if this kind of thing goes on in Spain. I thinking of the Chinese brothels in Barcelona more than anything. Are they licensed like the other Brothels in the city centre or are they something else?
What kind of payment do the girls get from the 70euros handed over for the hour?
Alan[/QUOTE]Having seen such reports in the news media, I've carefully asked girls working in clubs in Barcelona and elsewhere (Whiskeria Estark/Hotel Diana Plus, New Girls Cabaret & Chelsea I & II in Madrid, Estark 92 in Fuengirola, Estark 95 in Algeciras, etc.) why they are working there. Their responses have left no doubt in my mind they are "damas de compaņera" (prostitutes) only because other girls, typically in their home country, have told them how much money they can make and that they are accepting money for sex entirely of their own free will. Sometimes I've seen girls from Estark 92 in Fuengirola sunbathing on the beach nearby the following afternoon where there appeared to be no doubt nobody was restricting their freedom to come and go. On a few occasions I've persuaded a girl from one of Madrid's or Barcelona's clubs to come to my hotel room, and they show up alone, again leaving no doubt they are acting freely. A Romanian girl at a club in downtown Barcelona told me she comes to Spain because there are no similar clubs in Romania. Sometimes girls working at Riviera Club or Saratoga Club in Castelldefels have told me they are going to be going home to Romania or Bulgaria for a few months but after that will be returning to the same club in Spain. One girl at Estark 95 in Algeciras told me she was earning more in one night at Estark 95 than she did in two or three months at her regular job in Romania. I've gotten similar replies from girls working in "all girl staff" shops in West Palm Beach, Florida, who told me after working there (in the sex business) "its hard to go back to a regular paycheck," since regular jobs pay so much less. Conversation with a Korean girl who I met at a "spa" in Rhode Island and later, entirely coincidentally, at another "spa" in Georgia, who told me she lived in Tampa, Florida, left no doubt she was there because it was her best opportunity to make money to support herself and her child. The girl I saw at Garden of Eden in Kelowna, B.C. (Canada) told me she was there because she's a sexual sort of person and decided she may as well get paid for it.
My conclusion after hearing the girls' comments about why they're in the business and asking them questions about it, because of the same ethical concern you have, is that the television, radio, magazine, and newspaper reports about women being kidnapped and forced into prostitution are, usually if not always, false propaganda to justify suppressing prostitution. This propaganda is probably perpetrated by people who dislike prostitution and are in denial about the fact that women work as prostitutes of their own free will primarily because they have found it enables them to make the most money in the shortest period of time.
As for your other question, it varies: As best I can remember, the least they've ever said they get to keep is about half of what you pay.
news media propaganda about forcing women into prostitution
The following appears in the Morality of Prostitution section or "thread". Rubber Nursey is a prostitute in Australia who seems very well informed. I'm putting it here in the Barcelona section because of the amount of commentary on this subject here.

By the way, the same docos are being made in every nation around the world at the moment. And I mean *exactly* the same docos...only the destination and country of origin changes. It's nothing but scaremongering.
Does trafficking and sexual abuse exist? Yes, it does (and it's a horrific crime that should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law). But is every migrant sex worker a kidnapped, tortured sex slave? Of course not. That is racist, patronising bullshit.
As for contract work (or "debt bondage" as it's often called)...that wouldn't exist if prostitution laws and immigration policies allowed sex workers to travel for work INDEPENDENTLY, rather than forcing them to rely on agents and middle men to get them into other countries. Imagine if a Thai woman could organise her own visa, ring a Sydney brothel about employment, and have the brothel pay her airfare - which she could pay off in less than a day's work. Why would she go to a trafficker if it was that easy to do it herself? Government policies are to blame for trafficking and these global 'crackdowns' are only making things worse.[/QUOTE]
