Orangemen 22 Posted March 10, 2014 Interesting article from 2004 from baltictimes.com. Estonia is not as wild anymore, but this article kind of brings back old memories! Estonia becoming a European prostitution-tourism capital Jan 08, 2004 By Aleksei Gunter TALLINN - Estonia needs more information campaigns and active involvement on the part of politicians to tackle the social risks caused by prostitution, sociologists from the institute of the Open Estonia Foundation said. According to the institute's survey released in December, "Prostitution in Estonia: Social and Economic Pressure," Estonia has one of the highest numbers of prostitutes per capita in Europe with 30 per 10,000 residents, second only to Germany. In all, there are about 4,000 prostitutes in Estonia and about 300,000 in Germany, according to the survey. Such a vast market exists due to sex tourism, and in the Baltic country the largest group of adherents is predominantly made up of Finns, according to the institute. Currently it is legal to provide and to buy sex services in Estonia, but the mediation of such services is banned. Police investigators often have difficulties proving that a place registered as a private residency or a bar or sauna is actually managing the sale of sex services. In Tallinn alone there are some 50 brothels, and some of them are known to every resident of the district, though investigators have not been able to shut them all down. In neighboring countries where for the past several decades the state has stepped in to control or eliminate prostitution the situation is different, wrote the survey. There are seven and three prostitutes per 10,000 residents in Finland and Sweden respectively. Iris Pettai, one of the sociologists who worked on the survey, said Estonia should move toward the Swedish understanding of buying sex services, where it is considered violence against women. However, before the ban was introduced in 1999 the government in Sweden spent about 20 years conducting anti-prostitution ad campaigns. The accuracy of the survey, however, was criticized by the police, particularly in regards to the alleged number of prostitutes in the country. Ivi Proos from the OEF Institute admitted that the numbers could be approximate, but he stressed that producing fully accurate reports on a shady and illegal business was impossible. "In Estonia about 48 percent of men and 34 percent of women think both prostitution and brothels must be legalized," said Proos, referring to the survey. "Estonian people are not ready to consider prostitutes as victims of the sex business." According to the survey, the average brothel client was a 36-year-old male, often with a university degree, usually married and having an above-average income. About 12 percent of Estonian men have visited a brothel at least once in their life, wrote the survey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodguy1 179 Posted March 19, 2014 I remember back in the 90's Tallinna was an amazing place for mongers. There was brothels ( called saunas ) everywhere in the Centre and sub-urbs. Just beside Viru hotel there was one really good sauna brothel where you were able to fuck hookers for 400 (27 €) one hour! Quality was good and girls were usually really good in the bed. Then these sauna places slowly started disappearing in the end of 90's. You can still find sauna brothels in Tallinna but they do not work as openly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tallinn prostitution Posted April 11, 2014 Most prostitutes in Tallinn come from Russia and Ukraine. Prostitution is legal, but operating a brothel is illegal.10 years ago when Kroon was the currency, girls did cost about 40 euros per hour in illegal brothels. Now a days the price is about 100 euros in illegal brothels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alina 0 Posted August 16, 2015 Today many girls can very easy travel abroad to finland and sweden for shorter periods to work and that is what i believe have increased the prices in Tallinn last years. Normal price in those countries are 200-250 euro + taxi and the majority of foreign customers in estonia are from finland and sweden so its still half price for them here in tallinn.

RedLights 235 Posted September 25, 2015 Hey I'm travelling to tallinn this weekend. Any good hotels or nightclubs/bars that I can find working girls in? Not looking for any street working class! Any feedback would be great! Thanks Viru Hotel is the oldest hotel with a lobby and a bar with sex workers. I can recommend this place. Today the prices are usually around couple hundred euros for overnight. Check out the Radisson Blue Olympia, good place to stay and find girls. Hedone is also a good massage place I can recommend, you can get good extra servive from there also. It is right next to the many pubs where you can drink beer: http://www.wikisexguide.com/wiki/Tallinn/Massage_parlors/Hedone_Oriental_Massage_Club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
