Melbourne, Sept 3 : A prostitute at The Golden Apple brothel in Sydney''s Kings Cross has taken the lid off on one of the biggest question that has intrigued many for decades- ''Why men visit brothels?''

According to her, working in a brothel requires a woman to be sex worker, psychologist, nurse, police officer, stress relief therapist, actress - and sometimes even a jockey.

"We get a lot of guys who have a little quirk or fantasy that they can''t act out with their wives or girlfriends so they come to us," News. com. au quoted her, as saying.
