After watching the Greyhawk Grognard's video on the City of Greyhawk boxed set (the Blue Box, and yes I have a beautiful PDF from Drivethru), I have a question:
Do you think they have brothels in Greyhawk? After all, there was a lot to add your own detail. But I thought to ask. Since Greyhawk is cosmopolitan, you would have a sex industry in Greyhawk. I'm surprised that the world of Greyhawk didn't have a goddess of the tender passions (the closest would be Ehlonna, FR's Sharess, and FR's Loviatar) for prostitutes to pray to.
Although adventurers are stereotypically attracted to barmaids, I would like to think some adventurers would seek out a night with prostitutes (especially if they are ugly and/or less charismatic.) And if it was good, they'd buy their prostitute's contract and perhaps marry them.
Note I've never been with a prostitute. But it's a fact that there would be some women (and men) who would sell their bodies for sex in a world like Greyhawk. What do you all think?

In Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords, one of the entrances to the dungeon under the city was in a brothel.
Didn't Greyhawk City have a brothel that was secretly run by vampires? A later update mentioned it being destroyed by a party of adventures after a member disappeared there.
Checking ... Old Mother Grubb's Hopuse of Fortune, a combination gambling hall and brothel.

In the overview section for some of the quarters of the city it lists the number of "Bawdy houses" in that quarter. "Bawdy houses" refers to brothels. The only specific brothel written about in the boxed set is Old Mother Grubbs, which has gambling and prostitutes and is run by a vampire/mage.
* The Silver Garter (from The City of Greyhawk) is pretty clearly a brothel.
* Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk mentions the Sea Willow, a brothel on The Strip.
* Gord and Chert visit the Ship and Crowns, a high-end establishment, in “At Moonset Blackcat Comes”.
* Though not explicitly identified as a brothel, in Night Arrant Gord visited Lotus House, an establishment with dancing girls who may or may not have provided other services.
