Teasers delivers far more than the name suggests.
The new business venture, Teasers Escort and Massage at 57 Ingestre St, is the first dedicated brothel in Whanganui in nearly four years since the closure of G2 (ex Cinderella's) in 2014.
In the interim most sex workers either operated out of motel rooms, their own homes or offered a callout service only. These workers continue to operate alongside the new venture.
Prostitution became legal in New Zealand after the Prostitution Reform Act came into force in June 2003.
Before 2003, indoor prostitution in New Zealand was governed by the Massage Parlours Act 1978, which allowed brothels to operate in the guise of massage parlours.
