Yes, perhaps through a blood test or penile swab.
But it’s not just the police blotters they’re concerned about. It’s the possibility of someone seeing them and identifying them. The more people there are around, the more likely that is to happen. Hence why they don’t go to gay bars, even to engage in legal activities.
It does seem to me like it would be difficult. How would you prevent people seeing each other going in and out of the premises? How would you prevent people being seen going into the establishment by nosy tabloid types hanging around outside?
Make it a male and female brothel. Hard to show someone is gay when they could be hiring a woman.
Have the prostitute come to the client, rather then the other way around.
Kinda like they already do, many of them?
Is this legal? I sort of assumed that legal prostitutes in Nevada were required to work out of brothels, but I don’t really know.
You’re right, it all has to take place inside brothels.
And not only are they required to work inside the brothels - they can be prohibited from leaving the brothels at all while on duty (and “on duty” can mean for a couple weeks at a time), or from leaving the brothel after a certain time of day, or from going into the towns around the brothel when they’re off duty. I don’t think there’s a chance that house calls would be allowed.
Why all the prohibitions? That doesn’t seem fair.
It’s basically a mechanism for separating the sex industry from “respectable” society. The residents of the counties where brothels are legal are happy to have the money they bring in, but they’re still generally quite conservative people (it’s only the less populous counties that are allowed to have them at all) and the way they resolve that contradiction is by ensuring the industry remains as tightly boxed off as possible - they don’t want it integrated into community life at all. That means keeping a tight leash on the women, lest they contaminate ordinary townsfolk.
And, of course, they have no respect whatsoever for the women working there, so they don’t care about the violations of their civil rights and liberties that these policies entail.

I was also under the impression that restricting the movements of the prostitutes insures that they won’t be picking up any STDs while engaged in extracurricular activities. They are in essence, “quarantined”.
That was not my experience in Lander and Elko counties.
Every human has a cervix, the part between the torso and head. Women have another, the neck of the womb. Any male prostitute can consent to a cervical swab, though it wouldn’t prove much about STDs.
Prostitution is legal in NSW, QLD, VIC and ACT in Australia and there is considerable demand for Male prostitutes however they service almost entirely gay clients.
I was under the impression that male prostitution was legal in Nevada, as long as they were only serving female clients.
Or you could just read the whole thread and find out that you were wrong.
Never mind.
On the subject of Nevada prostitution:
-
What’s the name of the brothel (supposedly the only such brothel in Nevada) where the prices for the services are posted outside the door and are not open to negotiation?
-
Do the prostitutes generally just lie there and take it, or do they at least pretend to be into the experience?
