Globe Club

Both men and WGs are getting fucked by the inflation scissors with disposable income rapidly shrinking, and it's not without reason that inflation is referred to as the biggest stealth tax.

At the same time you still have WGs earning tens of thousands of Euros-Swiss Franks per month, and are still able to buy 1 or 2 apartments in their home country per year if they live a normal lifestyle and don't waste their money on overpriced status symbol like watches or handbags or on drugs.

Both sides of the coin, inflation exists in Romania as well, especially new appartment prices in better locations in RO are significantly more expensive compared to 5 years ago.

You can see it under "News" on their website if you use a smartphone or tablet. I can't see it either on my laptop, maybe it has something to do with ad-blockers.

On the Imperium websites, sometimes updates are only applied to the DE version of the pages.

Hard to say what is going on but it looks like there are less customers at Globe. I only go every 4-6 weeks and tend to see the same regulars at least in the afternoon. I did notice that there are slightly less girls in the web site each day. 28 instead of 30 on weekdays and 46 instead of 50 on weekends.

Ingo tries to manage that the girls have enough business so there is maybe some slow down. Unlike Siri I don't think it has to do with the line up because compared to other clubs line up and service are still the best. I think it's a general slow down.

Also while not cheap at least prices are stable and didn't go up (except for non Swiss with the high exchange rate). Especially also in relation to what you now read about e. G. Makati where the prices compared to before COVID went through the roof.

So the question is are people doing less mongering in Switzerland? Is the cause less locals going or are the missing numbers from non Swiss? Are more girls moving to online like Onlyfans? Is the root cause less or worse girls or is it less customers?

I still prefer Globe and find what I am looking for. As a local total cost is ok. Obviously if I need to add a flight and hotel the calculation is different. But then e. G. Asia is not attractive for me because I don't like overnight and then the financial math does not add up.

No big crisis in ZH and SZ, but do you think so many guys agree to pay expensive for so average now Globe level, when lower than average for else than fucking in public. Management is really not high level, not able to understand for the fall.

Totally agree. Visited 8-12 times a year before, this year only 2 times and probably not more.

Re Halloween, see poster.

Contrary to what you see on cable TV or media; compensation has not moved in 15 years; which in real terms means its down -50%.

The new generation don't make as much AND their expenses are double AND there are half as many of them employed.

A Rolex is now $10 K, Gucci mocassin are $1 K and a NYC or Zurich Apt is $5 K / month v. Half of that in 2008.

Dropping $3-5 K on a Sex trip has much more competition v. 15 years ago.

The colleagues I see in Globe are Aphro are from 2001 or 2008 eras NOT current lineup.

Monger ROI is down; however freak air-fares / rates, (ie, $550 are / t NYC; $750 are / t LA today SwissAir) and $135/ nt. Crown Plaza are less than 2014. LOL.

Good points KaveMan, but there's an opposite side to this 'compensation coin' as well.

Let's look at the men's salaries as well please: my monthly income hasn't moved much either for 15 years, apart from the mandatory 'inflation compensation' which is calculated by the government and which is a total scam. Many of my colleagues and business partners have similar stories. While my income has remained stagnant (apart from promotions and starting my own business) my rent has gone up, food prices have gone up, fuel prices have gone up, taxes have gone up, and unlike the price of a Rolex or a Gucci bag, those are essentials for living.

Both men and WGs are getting fucked by the inflation scissors with disposable income rapidly shrinking, and it's not without reason that inflation is referred to as the biggest stealth tax.

At the same time you still have WGs earning tens of thousands of Euros-Swiss Franks per month, and are still able to buy 1 or 2 apartments in their home country per year if they live a normal lifestyle and don't waste their money on overpriced status symbol like watches or handbags or on drugs. How many male customers are able to do the same thing? Sure, there are rich men out there earning hundreds of thousands (and more) of Dollars-Euros-Swiss Franks per year, but they probably don't go to Globe but instead order very high priced escorts. P.S. I met a few Globe and ex-Globe girls who told me that they received a Rolex as a gift from a customer for escorting.

Re Halloween, see poster.

Anytime a Globe party poster is published, I realize how my visits have become less and less frequent; I am not able to recognize with certainty any girl and I have no clue on most of them!!

It looks like that Ingo has found a new fiancee / favorite; who is the queen in yellow, the only one who has the honor to sit on the throne beside the king? I have a suspect who she may be, but she is not easy to recognize.

[ShoesAndSocks]

Difficult to recognize the girls in costumes and make up LOL!

Can't help you identify any of them this year. Five years ago I'd have known most by name, and probably have fucked half of them.

This classic Silvester poster from 2018 illustrates for me the "good ole days". What memories! The horny blonde bombshell Romina, Sofia (who loved public sex, despite the denials of one frequent contributor), Vicky, Tiffany (who is still around), plus now-SV Laura.

[ShoesAndSocks]

Yes, but don't you think that a possible economic downturn could also be responsible?

Yes, the current economic situation certainly doesn't help. "Cost of living" pressures seem to be in the news all over the world at the moment. Airfares are high (understandable I guess after the lean Covid years, plus the effect of the UKR-RUS war on fuel prices), and for me exchange rates keep getting worse. Back in 2013 I'd get 0.86 francs, now it's down to 0.58. Makes an hour at Globe pretty steep in my home currency.

[Sirioja]

Globe can't anymore enable to upsell for party. When ZH and SZ are still rich, but many guys don't want anymore to pay for Globe low quality now, when big fall since 2020 . Even 95 is too expensive for casting, I also don't plan a third visit on this year.

[KaveMan]

Lots of money being made or lost in the financial services industry, and this might have an effect on the FKK scene in Switzerland?

Difficult to recognize the girls in costumes and make up LOL! Is that Chantale in the middle with the red dress, and perhaps Ariel or Ines POL on the far right in the purple dress with the Halloween hat?

The two girls in the top left also look familiar, one holding the globe and devil horns in purple, and the girl to her right in yellow-gold. The girl on the left in the purple dress and the Halloween hat also looks familiar.

I think the days of purely "sex tourist" trips for us overseas guys have ended. As a number have remarked, just not the same ROI as in 2014-2019.

Good point although I can not personally comment on Globe in 2014-2018 because I never visited then. However, I also had the impression that there were quite a few 'regulars' posting here as well: perhaps business people who regularly visit Zuerich or perhaps expats living in Switzerland who prefer to post in English?

I notice the entry price for the upcoming Halloween Party is the normal 95 francs. Used to be 175 (and a packed house).

Yes, but don't you think that a possible economic downturn could also be responsible? As far as I've understood, things are not very stable in the financial world (Credit Suisse, or this US regional bank going bankrupt for example) and Switzerland-Zuerich is very dependent on the financial world. Lots of money being made or lost in the financial services industry, and this might have an effect on the FKK scene in Switzerland?

My post-Covid visits haven't been stellar by any measure.

My next visit will be a few days in early February on the way to the Italian Alps for skiing, and I feel future Globe visits will return to being a small part of a wider vacation.
