Author Topic: Frankfurt vs Cologne - especially for Laufhaus  (Read 2128 times)

Online TomTank

Following on from my thread where I've chosen to go to Den Haag, I am considering working on a specific trip to Germany.
I love Frankfurt and the big Laufhaus there (Crazy Horse?) but it looks like Pascha and Das Bordell in Cologne might be better.

Any views much appreciated, bearing in mind I like dommes and T-girls?

I've been to both, Banhofsviertal when I was younger (say 5-6 years ago), Pascha I used to frequent and most recently went last November.

Banhofsviertal in Frankfurt is delightfully morbid and perhaps the trashiest place on the continent. It holds many Eros Centres but after about 3 punts found each of the escorts to be bratty Romanians who would not let you do a whole lot, that alongside some very sore legs prevented me from exploring it further.

Pascha in Cologne is nicer in the sense that there's clearly quality control and you get what you pay for. I find that on the first floor (there are 5 floors, excluding the 6th which is for transexuals) girls seem to charge more than the others, I've had girls asking for 100 Euro there rather than the standard 70 that I'm used to and indeed get on the others. They also do 15 mins for 50 Euro on floors 2-5. I found years back that there used to be more variety, that of nationalities. Whilst there are more Africans now, the once notable variety of Europeans (Italians, Greeks, Poles, etc.) has been largely supplanted by Romanians. Due to quality control, I imagine, most are lovely. I do notice however that women are trending more now into their late 20's, early 30's. But there are still plenty of fit women in Pascha. Women do seem to stick with the place and I've had multiple conversations with women who seem to spend years there.

Problem with Pascha is that if you can't find anyone there, you're stuck with either the SHITHOLE appartment opposite (and really there is no reason for you to go there in any situation ever, there was about 1 woman out of 20~ who was even slightly fit and she was in her late 30s), or nothing. Banhofsviertal is trashy as shit but you can mosey around a lot more, it'll just kill your legs. I've no idea what this Crazy Horse is, is Neil Young a patron? If they've got a big brothel there now with a sense of QC might have to check it out.

Also note Pascha 5 Euro entry fee, has an ATM inside, safe, used it many, many times. Area is a fun walk to get through but not dangerous or anything. Place opposite it is inconsistent, I'd heard there were some little shits trying to scam the same entry fee out of people when its meant to be free, though I haven't encountered these and indeed walked straight in, laufed, laughed and left.

Thanks Jade
I was sure the Eros Center on Elbestrasse was called Crazy Horse, but maybe not .... anyway I love that big one with 2 entrances, T-girls on the top floor and a few non-Rom dommes on the 4th and 5th .....

I do get annoyed that NL and Germany seem to be filling up with Roms and you start to think I might as well stick to punting at home

This may be my own personal phobia but Frankfurt bahnhofsviertel really kills the joy for me. As mentioned above, there's absolute filth on the streets. There's junkies rolling on the pavements, or passed out, or just homeless, all sorts of drunk younsters (and some not as young!), generally people in variously grimy clothes, not cleanest crowd.
 
I'd shy away from boarding a busy tram seeing some of these people on board. Sorry, this doesn't read as inclusive. But I wouldn't touch this crowd with a barge pole, having gone through the experience.
 
And to be fair, a large percentage of this crowd is window shopping only, and then jizzing in the stairwell, or on pavements.
 
But the small percentage that does seal deals leading to closed doors, I cannot get over the thought that I'm trading bodily material and fluids with these people.
 
I'm not saying that doesn't happen at an FKK, but the in-your-face reality of it all is just too off putting.
 
At an FKK, at least there's a better effort of pretense at cleanliness.

the shit around the streets in Frankfurt never bothered me, but might now I'm a bit older, and it's probably got a bit worse .... It was always fairly busy and I never felt unsafe at any time of day or night

Personally, I prefer Frankfurt. Feels like there's more on offer. Maybe I went at a bad time, but I found Pascha quite underwhelming and overpriced. I also enjoy the Bahnhofsviertel Chaos.

And?  :unknown:

Can you tell me how often he's used the site before this 'meaningful' contribution? or when he's said he's seen an escort but didn't review?  :unknown:

I went to Frankfury pre Covid. There were a lot of the buildings where you walk up several floors filled with women and the top floor having trans girls. There was also a pretty big cinema on the corner that you could watch movies in and some ladies would be there offering services.

Is that all still there or did it close down/reduce in number since Covid?

Thinking about going to Frankfurt again soonish.

Nope.
But he may have more useful contributions like this one that we will never hear if he now doesn't do a review within 28 days.

Is that right, does he have to now do a review?
Hopefully, if he doesn't there is a good enough explanation.

So you think it's alright to use the site for 12 months before then posting that he'd seen an escort but didn't review, go back to using the site again before posting a 'review', with no detail whatsoever, of a booking that took place over 12 months previously then go back to just using the site without contributing before posting this?   :unknown:

He's more than welcome to post an explanation for why he's using the site but not contributing reviews.

I'm not trying to be clever, but yes I don't really care about spongers.
I think it's natural that there is a spread of contribution levels in any group.

I do understand why others care, and that it's important to the site that they are challenged, however I also have a sense of disappointment when we lose someone who has been useful, and might be even more useful in the future.

You guys know best, but this one feels like he's getting a red card for a yellow card offence ....

One 'useful' post in 5 1/2 years of membership, stating he's punted but hasn't reviewed while using the site for his advantage during that time is what you think is useful?   :unknown:

Can I ask what you would class as a member not being useful? 

He hasn't had a red card, all he has to do is abide by the rules of the site or give an explanation to why he hasn't posted any reviews and he has 30 days to do that, the ball's in his court.

There's loads of members who are lacking in the review department, the difference is we know why and we also know they make regular (not one every 5 1/2 years) useful contributions.

What you describe is still there - never made it to Frankfurt pre-Covid so can't say if it's shrunk.

Worry not, I'll admit I'm not too used to formatting on this site so will hope this sends correctly. Checked out a lot of brothels earlier so may help (see my thread posted recently).

In explaining your question. All I can say is, I have a particular fetish, such that my reviews would not be helpful in regards to details. But I'm happy to give guidance on what laufhauses and walk-ups are good and which suck. In my early 20s I basically gave up on punting in the UK in favour of brothels abroad (the age verification on Adultwork only really reinforced that), so there's admittedly a 4-year gap or more for when I didn't use the site much during that period. I figured I'd post a review of the places I'd seen once I'd gotten back from my most recent trip. I could I suppose advise on my recent experiences of punting in Belgium? Though I can't imagine there's much to say on that front other than Antwerp being surprisingly stocked and Rue D'Aerschot still being my go-to for that country (it works, say what you will).

Regarding 'contributing a review'... does that have to be a UK one? I guess I could force myself to go punting again in the UK but ehh... The reviews I could have posted years ago (i.e. 2020-22 no doubt have moved on, I was green as fuck though in hindsight it would have been good to expose the like 30-40% bait-and-switch experiences I had.

I'd love to know what the fetish is !!!

And very interested on more details on Rue d'Aerschot - I used to use it a lot, but steered clear in favour of Antwerp on a recent trip due to reading that it's crap and dangerous .....

No way I'll tell!  :dash: But Rue D'Aerschot is a go-to when in Belgium. Its like the Banhofsviertal in the sense of being decrepit and run-down, though there's often police presence so I'm not really put off by it. Honestly, I like the shittiness of it, I find Banhofsviertal more annoying because its all laufhauses and it just tires you out. There were around 20~ girls on Rue D'aeschot when I went on a Sat. early evening or night (can't remember exactly when). On a Sunday evening was more like 10ish... but it was a bigger proportion of naff girls that day. It always had roadworks when I went and the bit past the roadworks isn't as swarmed so it can be quiet enjoyable. I usually avoid the bit right at the start (coming out from Nord station) since there's bodies fucking everywhere and you can't really take your time.

Antwerp was great, though I didn't find a girl who I liked there were a lot of attractive ones, it was the first time I enjoyed watching other people walk up, I guess due to the open nature of it, you can just crack a beer open and watch some delightful interactions. The central building (I can't recall the name) is pointless though, for some reason the centre-piece of the RLD seems to be hag haven. Now that you're reminding me a couple months prior I did trip to Bremen (what a waste of time that place is! Both as a tourist and as a punter). Tried Helenenstrasse and it sucked hard. My fault perhaps for going in the afternoon but its a mile out walking and I can only prepare so much logistically. There were probably 5-8 girls, all clapped out. 1 who was kinda fit but looked dodgy as hell. Didn't take my chances.

See this is the thing. Years ago I'd give into the whole 'you're here in Pascha dude, you've GOT to make at least something out of it'. Nowadays if I don't see anyone that satisfies me, I just leave... which seems to be happening a lot lately (lately as in past two years or so). There was a really nice bird on Rue D'aershot actually, Angie I think her name was but could have misheard. She was relatively close to the station. Without seeing the roadworks on Google maps though its a bitch to place where exactly she was, but I believe before where the roadworks currently are.

If there's one place I want to try again, its Aachen, I went must have been 2-3 years ago now but it was early afternoon and only saw a couple girls down the street, but it went on. Not like Rue D'aeshot mind you, but seemed like there'd be potential if you went Fri-Sat night.
