Globe – probably my last visit for a long while
I tend to be a little reluctant contribute to a few of these ISG forums given how some members monopolize the discussion with their opinions and over-react to anything written that conflicts with their own opinion. Regardless, here it goes!
I have been a long-time supporter of Globe. For an American, we just have no place like it in our country, so it has always been refreshing to visit a place where sex is openly expressed with no reservation. I have had amazing experiences at Globe over the years, but I have also noticed a steady decline in the quality of talent working at Globe during this time. It is very similar to the decline of talent we Americans have seen in our strip clubs over the last 10+ years. With the exception of a few clubs in the US, most of the 9's and 10's we used to see in our strip clubs are for the most part gone. I think this rings true for places like Globe that were once able to draw women that were true 9's and 10's from Romania. Are there still some attractive women at Globe? Yes, but not to the level that it was many years ago. I think many of us have accepted the steady decline just like we have accepted the escalation in prices charged by these women. I have come to accept that the 9's and 10's we were once used to seeing in the adult entertainment industry are now social media influencers, are on sites like OnlyFans, or they have mutually beneficial arrangements with wealthy men. I have also come to accept that this new generation loves to ink their bodies and they actually have convinced themselves that it looks good.
On my most recent visit to Globe, I had one of those "Ah Ha" moments while sitting in the upstairs restaurant. As I was eating some terrible Italian meatballs with mashed potatoes (interesting culinary combination), I looked around at some of the girls in the restaurant eating dinner. Down in the club where it is much darker, you do not get the same good look at the girls as you do in the brighter light of the restaurant. As I am looking at these women, I realized that 10-15 years ago I would never have gone out of my way for these moderately attractive Romanian women covered in ink. As I spent the next couple of hours in the club, I kept asking myself what I am doing here?
As we all know, Globe is not an especially nice club by European standards. It does not look like the owner has put a dime into the club in decades. Let's face it, the sexy Romanian women at Globe have always been the draw. None of us go there because they have great food or because they have beautiful rooms. We do not go there for the loud Romanian music they play or to watch our favorite sports teams on their huge flat screens. If anything, most of us tolerate the loud music, the cigarette smoke, the repressive heat (worse in the summer months), the terrible food, nasty mattresses in the rooms, and the badly outdated aesthetics of the club in general. Do they actually think the fake plants covered with layers of dust throughout the club actually look good?! I can't be the only person that finds it quite boring sitting in this club in between the times when I am in a room with a girl. If you live in Zurich or are a business traveler visiting Zurich, Globe is still a place where you can drop in and get great sex from a moderately attractive Romanian woman, but to me it is no longer a reason to go to Zurich and certainly no place to spend several hours of a day or night. There once was a time when Globe was a destination attraction for me and a reason to go to Zurich. I cannot say that today.
On my recent visit to Globe I went to a room with two different girls and had great sex both times. Both girls were very eager to please me. Both girls were thin, sexy, somewhat attractive, and certainly worth the fee for 30 minutes. Would I go out of my way or fly to Zurich to be with either one of them? No! Would I pay 95 Swiss francs to get into a club where these girls work? No! This is the real point of my review of Globe today. The talent has dropped off so much that it is no longer a draw for me and certainly is no longer a place that I would go out of my way to visit. If I lived in Zurich or was visiting, I would likely go to Aphrodisia or Amesia before I would drive out to Schwerzenbach. Sadly, I just do not think Globe offers anything special today. The club is stale and continues to decline. In my opinion, Globe missed out on an opportunity during the pandemic to completely renovate the club and bring it into 2023.
Lastly, I find it odd that I can walk into any strip club in the US, be surrounded by naked women, and be allowed to use my cell phone without restriction. Customers know if they take photos of the girls that they are going to get kicked out and roughed up. I do not get why Globe restricts the use of cellphones in the club. Do they really think that customers cannot be trusted and do not respect the privacy of other customers? Do they think that the woman and other customers won't notice a customer taking photos and call that customer out? You take a photo and you get thrown out and banned from the club. Simple!
I will watch Globe from a distance and see if anything changes, but I do not see myself returning for quite some time.
