WHAT DOES BAWDYHOUSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bawdyhouse

Brothel

A brothel is a place where people may come to engage in sexual activity with a prostitute, sometimes referred to as a sex worker. Technically, any premises where prostitution commonly takes place qualifies as a brothel, however for legal or cultural reasons establishments may describe themselves as massage parlors, bars, strip clubs or by some other description. Sex work in a brothel is considered safer than street prostitution.
