* ''Film/WildOrchid: 2 Shades of Blue'', a young girl is left destitute after the death of her heroin addict musician father but is taken in by a high class bordello where she works under the pseudonym "Blue", eventually falling in love with one of her customers.

* In ''Literature/{{Caliphate}}'', Castle Noisvastei is a bordello operating under a fundamentalist Islamist state. Even though prostitution is punishable by death in states like Taliban, it's tolerated under Islamist-controlled Germany where female Christians are kept as {{sex slave}}s, but Muslims can also be sent there if their husbands divorce them. It gets much worse when there are also women brainwashed with mind-control devices to be used as cheap pleasure for the customers.

* In Kim Newman's ''Literature/TheHoundOfTheDurbervilles'', Professor Moriarty has his apartment and criminal base in a building which has as its first floor a brothel, and his number two, Colonel Moran, often indulges himself with the "other employees."

* In ''Literature/BeingAGreenMother'', we find that Satan runs Mock Hell, where all types of sin can be indulged in, for "merely" a percentage of evil on your soul.

* ''Series/HerculesTheLegendaryJourneys'': Salmoneus is shown in "Under the Broken Sky" managing what's described as a pleasure palace, much to his displeasure. He insists to Hercules that he didn't know it was this kind of establishment, saying his brother-in-law (the owner) lied about it being a nightclub and stuck him with overseeing things while away on business. As to be expected, Hercules doesn't much care for the place, either, calling it a pit. The episode's conflict stems from one of the workers, Lucina, who fled home out of guilt after her children died of sickness. Her husband, Atticus, has tracked her down to implore to return home, but she's also caught the eye of the local gang leader. After Hercules takes down the gang and husband and wife reconcile, the locals decide to improve the town's seedy image by turning the den into a senior citizens' center.
* Tiberius' mansion in ''Series/IClaudius'' has one of these. The historical Tiberius, on the other hand, did not want and did not need one of these: an antisocial prick but [[BunnyEarsLawyer able administrator]], he preferred to spend his time mostly alone in his pleasure palace on the island of Capri, and according to Roman historian Suetonius, "[[ComicBook/TheCartoonHistoryOfTheUniverse indulging his pedophilic predilections]]" in private. Although later research showed that Tiberius went to Capri mostly because he wanted to hide from assassins and read in peace.

** Compared to the other layers of the Abyss, Shendilavri seems like a paradise, a picturesque land of gardens and marble cities beneath an eternal sunset, where the locals welcome visitors into a life of luxury, passion and indulgence. Unfortunately it's also the capital of [[SuccubiAndIncubi Malcanthet, Queen of the Succubi]], so its demonic citizens tempt mortals into increasing depravity until their souls are utterly corrupted, and beneath the beautiful facade are hidden dungeons and torture rooms.

* ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': In a quick flashback Gil is shown someplace Tarvek seems to have considered to be Gil's Den of Iniquity in Paris, though it's implied to have been at some kind of bar, brothel or OpiumDen so it wasn't in reality, [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20120217 surrounded by scantly clad women with something rather bong looking mostly cut off at the edge of the panel.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' showed a low-key example of this in the fourth season, a room inside the Monarch's cocoon where his minions would quietly gather for drinks on their downtime.
