Management and sex workers at Sheri’s Ranch, a legal brothel near Las Vegas, Nevada, are reporting that the HBO original series Game of Thrones has had a considerable and positive impact on the brothel’s business since the adult-themed fantasy program first aired and gained incredible popularity in 2011.

.

Dena, the madam of Sheri’s Ranch, believes that one of the primary reasons Game of Thrones contributed to the Nevada brothel’s increasing success over the years is because the program had a bordello owner, Lord Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish, as one of the show’s pivotal characters, and his brothels were often set pieces for the show’s political intrigue and sexually explicit encounters.

.

“It’s the most successful television program of its age and it features a brothel as one of its primary settings, particularly in the earlier seasons on the show,” Dena said. “To have a brothel so prominently featured in a pop culture hit was a godsend for us.”

.

“We noticed in late 2011 that searches to our website for terms like ‘brothel’ began to increase significantly, and there was no way to account for the prominence of the term other than its relation to Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones inadvertently assisted in promoting legal brothels like Sheri’s Ranch not only by having Littlefinger’s brothels as settings for the action, but also by showcasing some of the hottest couplings, threesomes and orgies ever depicted onscreen. Watching the show was sometimes like an advertisement for brothels. You watch the brothel scenes in Game of Thrones and you say ‘I want to go to a sexy place like that and do those sexy things with sexy people.’,” Dena said.

.

Sex workers at Sheri’s say that having a fantasy story that was so replete with sex and sexuality empowered clients and fans of the show to explore their Game of Thrones fantasies with legal prostitutes.

.

“Game of Thrones is a fantasy for adults, and adults often like to live out their fantasies and explore their kinks and fetishes through role play. Without a doubt, Games of Thrones introduced the courtesans and clients of Sheri’s to a whole new realm of role play possibilities,” said Allissa, a sex worker at the brothel.

.

“While clients certainly do request sessions, particularly orgies, in which the ladies dress up as Game of Thrones characters — Daenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark of course being the most popular character requests — role play inquiries related to Game of Thrones more often entail a BDSM element,” Sky, another licensed courtesan at the brothel, revealed.

.

“Many Game of Thrones fans have made use of our BDSM room over the years,” Sky said. “Clients often enjoy playing a reluctantly submissive captive like Theon Greyjoy, chained and at the mercy of their seductive torturer. Luckily, here at Sheri’s, clients need not fear the loss of any important body parts, as it’s all in good fun and we always use a ‘safe word’ should our clients feel uncomfortable in any way.”

.

“Season five’s ‘Walk of Shame’ was tremendously popular with submissive clients. While we used to put dog collars on clients and walk them though the brothel’s bar to appease their humiliation fetish, Game of Thrones took humiliation to a whole new level,” Allissa said. “Since season five, we now have to be ready for erotic humiliation that involves parading our consenting client, in various stages of undress, around the entirety of our twenty-acre property for all of our guests to see.”

.

“The imaginative world of Game of Thrones will forever be a part of our shared culture and its impact on various industries, including the sex industry, cannot be overstated,” Dena said. “With this season marking the end of the series, it’s disheartening that soon we won’t have any new Game of Thrones related fetishes for our clients to discover and explore here at our real-life brothel.”

.

“We’re sorry to see it end.”

Can women thrive in the brothel sexual marketplace? Dena, the madam at legal Las Vegas-area brothel Sheri’s Ranch says it’s possible, and believes their business model is one that other businesses could learn from.

.

In the latest SherisRanch.com blog post ‘Nevada Brothel: A Model for a Positive Workplace for Women’, Dena breaks down the issues that women contend with in the workplace – fair pay, personal agency, respect and the shortage of women in management positions – and says that each of these is attainable at Sheri’s Ranch.

.

“The overwhelming majority of revenue is generated by the services provided by sex workers, obviously making these women the highest paid workers in the establishment,” writes Dena of her Sheri’s Ranch employees. “Getting paid what we’re worth is a big issue for working women. The brothel’s solution: let the woman decide what her services are worth. Don’t put a limit on what a woman can ask for and you’ll discover that her clients will pay her what she desires.

.

“A woman also needs to know that she has a reasonable degree of control over her work and is empowered to make her own decisions… additionally, many sex workers have families, businesses, or other obligations outside of the bordello, so the women have the opportunity to set their own schedules.”

.

Dena adds that “while we very rarely have an issue with an unruly client or visitor, it’s important that everyone understands that just because a woman is a sex worker doesn’t mean that she can be treated like an object. These ladies are not playthings, they’re legitimate members of the American workforce providing a highly coveted service to people that genuinely yearn for and need intimacy.

.

“I try my best to remember to recognize the amazing things the sex workers at Sheri’s are accomplishing every day. These women, in the face of stigma, are pioneers in the incredibly successful 50-year legal prostitution experiment in Nevada.

.

“t’s too easy for us doing the day-to-day work to forget that these brave women are making history – and setting an example for why prostitution should be legalized throughout the United States.”

(Pahrump, NV – January 29^th, 2019) — Las Vegas-area adult vacation resort and legal brothel Sheri’s Ranch has released a revealing infographic summarizing the characteristics and demographic information of people visiting the bordello’s website in 2018. The graphic shows the age and sex of individuals curious about seeing a prostitute and discloses the top countries and U.S. states of the brothel’s online visitors, as well as the most commonly searched keyword phrases.

In 2018, 74% of the brothel’s online visitors were male and 26% were female. In 2017 the male/female visitor ratio was 79% to 21%, indicating a significant shift in the number of women interested in seeing a prostitute. This comes as no surprise to Dena, the brothel’s madam, as there has been an increase in the number of women visiting Sheri’s Ranch over the past decade.

“Women are more comfortable than ever when it comes to seeking a sex worker to assist them in satisfying their needs and exploring their curiosities,” Dena said. “Sheri’s has seen an enormous boom in the number of women and couples visiting us in the past several years, so it’s understandable that the proportion of women browsing our ladies online is steadily increasing.”

While the gap between men and women searching for sex workers is beginning to close, men are still more interested than women when it comes to paying for sex, and men age 45-54 are more curious about seeing a prostitute than any other age group.

“Our online data accurately reflects our actual customer base,” Dena said. “Men middle-aged and older frequent Sheri’s Ranch more than other age group – and many of our best repeat customers are middle-age men enjoying an ongoing ‘girlfriend experience’ with our courtesans.”

While the majority of the brothel’s online visitors hail from the United States, Dena also notes that the brothel’s close proximity to Las Vegas makes Sheri’s Ranch an international destination, with people from the United Kingdom and Japan making up nearly 20% of the bordello’s online visitors.

Unsurprisingly, high U.S. population centers like California, New York, and Texas send throngs of libidinous visitors to the brothel’s website, but also high on the list is Washington D.C., with the nation’s capital driving over 4% of the brothel’s online users.

“As far as such a high concentration of online visitors coming from the District of Columbia, powerful people often have insatiable sexual appetites,” Dena said. “Sheri’s is known for maintaining the privacy of our customers, so it’s no surprise that high-profile politicians are interested in learning more about the services our courtesans offer.”

The infographic reveals that among the top keyword phrases searched on the brothel’s website are some version of “lose virginity to prostitute,” hinting at a large number of adult virgins seeking to be deflowered by a professional sex worker.

“Being a virgin over the age of 21 is more common than most people realize — and it’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Dena said. “Adult virgins have been discovering and frequenting Sheri’s Ranch for years. We are the deflowering capital of the world and we’re proud of it.”
