Legal erotic private or BDSM studio

How to legally provide sexual services.

The provision of one's own body or mind for sexual services voluntarily, by a person over 18 years of age, is not regulated (prohibited) by law. Such sexual services may be advertised without restriction in places accessible to persons over 18 years of age. Special servers and printed matter for the offer of sexual services. But with decent visualization, other media or means of advertising that do not offend public opinion or the advertising rules of the medium in question cannot be excluded.

Illegally soliciting other persons for sex is a criminal offence of pimping. A more serious offence applies in the case of soliciting children (usually under 18 in the EU).

Authorisation of sexual services

If you provide your own body for sexual services, you do not need such a permit. In a few EU countries, prostitution is a registered profession (Belgium, the Netherlands). However, you may be interested in hiding your prostitution, for example from your neighbors. You then advertise your sexual services as massages or massages with erotic elements. For this, you need the trade of Massage, reconditioning and regeneration services (hereinafter referred to as “massage services”). Massage services are already a trade requiring a certain qualification of the person providing the massage. This can be obtained most quickly by a two-month retraining course for Sports and reconditioning massage.

On the Internet a lot of relatively inexpensive courses with a certificate to practice as a massage therapist. It is also possible that the course will be paid for by the employment office. You can then apply for a trade registration for a small administrative fee (1000 CZK in the Czech Republic) at the trade licensing office. Other trades can be included in one fee, e.g. modeling, photography, consulting, etc. As a sole trader, you pay a minimum health and pension insurance at the beginning and from a certain income threshold according to a percentage of the statutory assessment.

One responsible person with a qualification for massage services is enough for the private accommodation, which guarantees the quality of massages of others who do not have a qualification. Similar to students in a hairdressing salon, for example. Basically, this is used by people who arrange prostitution - i.e. pimps.

Authorised place of sexual services

Sexual services may be performed anywhere in the Czech Republic where they do not cause public outrage (misdemeanor disorderly conduct) and are not prohibited by municipal ordinance. In principle, this will include privates, salons, homes, offices, hotels and other enclosed spaces or secluded outdoor areas.

Taxation of sexual services

It is not entirely clear what place income from private sexual services has in the light of the Income Tax Act. Whether it is undefined income that needs to be taxed or whether it is not covered by the law at all. For example, in view of the prevailing social opinion that the state does not yet wish to be a "public pimp" and therefore turns a blind eye to private prostitution. Such income would also be difficult to prove to the tax authorities. Clients will deny the use of private sexual services. In the case of consensual prostitution, just as in the case of porn films, it is the income that you earn that supports you and with which you contribute to the economy and the welfare of society, voluntarily in the case of consensual prostitution. It should therefore, as in the case of income from pornographic films, be taxed. In the case of involuntary prostitution, such income of a pimp would be confiscated as proceeds of crime and the income of a prostitute as a victim of crime should not be taxed.

If in the Czech Republic in 2025 you declare income as a sole proprietor of, for example, CZK 500,000 per year, with the 60% flat rate, 200,000 will remain for taxation. After deducting the non-taxable basis (tax credit per taxpayer of approximately 70,000), this will mean a resulting tax of 0. The tax of 15% is paid only on profits above approximately 230,000 per year. However, the minimum health and social insurance will cost 8,000 Czech crowns per month in 2025.

Who is the pimp

"Whoever induces, procures, hires, entices or seduces another to engage in prostitution, or whoever profits from prostitution engaged in by another ..."

Pimps sometimes disguise themselves as massage parlor operators or landlords. If prostitutes testify that they arranged clients for them, this disguise will not help much in criminal proceedings.

This includes not only slave traders or pimps who force their victims into prostitution or take money from prostitutes, but also anyone who mediates voluntary prostitution. The question is whether ordinary telephone operators in private houses would fall under the concept of “prey” from prostitution. Probably not. Their reward is not the prey, but payment for the operator's work. The same applies to security guards in brothels who only work there, not who extort money from sex workers.

The legislation is quite flawed, because de lege ferenda (from the perspective of setting fair law) there is no difference between voluntary prostitution operated independently and voluntary prostitution operated under someone else (a pimp). Under the current legal definition, a pimp is any porn agency or porn producer. And while the conditions for voluntary pimping are met, porn agencies and porn producers are not punished. The law is poorly set, but it makes it easier to punish real sex slaves in the absence of evidence.

Legal defence of a pimp of consensual prostitutes

In no way do I want to stand up for slave owners who force others into prostitution. That is completely wrong. Our sex shop's clients are also brothel mamas, who are helped by other women as partners. Their prostitutes are happy for the work and money and do it completely voluntarily, just like porn actors or most prostitutes in the Czech Republic, who do not work for themselves. They are simply sex workers. Not everyone who is on alcohol and drugs, for example, can secure a private place and clients. Some are not enthusiastic about the work, but who as an employee is enthusiastic about any work? It is simply a way out for them, which they might not have without outside help.

In principle, it can be summarized that a person who facilitates voluntary prostitution is not doing anything socially wrong. But the law still punishes it to deal with another matter - the lack of evidence in involuntary prostitution. The Constitutional Court would probably have to strike down the statutory definition in question. But the classic brothel mama of consensual prostitutes is not a person who would go to the Constitutional Court. As a rule, it is a woman who would otherwise barely make a living.

A pimp of voluntary prostitutes should therefore be on good terms with his whores. Prostitutes should testify in criminal proceedings that they only provide massages and conversation. Then it will not be proven as mediated prostitution. Punishment for pimping of voluntary prostitutes could also be defended by the argument of minimal social danger. It makes no sense to punish for helping to do something that another person wants to do voluntarily (unless it harms others, which is the case in the case of prostitution). Moreover, there is no difference between a porn agency or porn producer and a brothel of voluntary prostitutes. On the contrary, forced prostitutes should testify in order to help break up and punish gangs of slave pimps.
