For many people it is a surprise that Tamworth has a bawdy house at all, while others might be surprised that there is only one legal enterprise selling sex in the region.
It has been 23 years since the sex industry was decriminalised in NSW, and former nurse Piper has seen seven more years than that as well. In those years there have been a lot of changes, and she has seen a lot of locations, but late last year she decided to make Tamworth her own.
One of the four rooms at Sweet Temptations. Clients are met by a receptionist, who invites them through the house, passed the signed Angry Anderson former wet t-shirt on the wall and into a sitting room where the workers view them through a one way mirror in case they recognise them, or worse. Next the girls are paraded for the client, who chooses one, or more. He is then taken through to have a mandatory shower, before the worker inspects the men for any signs of sexually transmitted disease, with condoms another mandatory requirement.
Tools of the trade. Madam, the cat house cat, waits in the sitting room for the next punter to walk through the doors of the region's only legal parlour. Our girls take care of them, relieve that aggression and teach them control as well.
According to Piper safety and confidentiality are key, with security buttons in every room and a security guard on site. The madam you don't want to mess with has online sites and illegal workers in her cross hairs. Apps like Tinder and Plenty of Fish have also taken a big chunk of business, making hassle free rendevouz as simple as swiping left or right, with people after the same thing able to communicate that through select words and phrases in biographies.
