Erobella.com is a European website for erotic classified ads. It was founded in 2005 and is based in Berlin. The platform is mainly used by sex workers, massage studios, dominatrixes, and brothels to advertise their services. It is one of the largest erotic classified portals in Germany.[1]
Mission
[change | change source]The website says its mission is to improve the visibility and rights of sex workers, and to provide a safe and professional space for advertising.[2]
Surveys and research
[change | change source]In 2023, Erobella worked with the German sex workers association BSD to publish a survey about the well-being of sex workers in Germany.[1] The results were cited in media reports and used in public debates about prostitution and sex work policy.[3][4]
The survey was also discussed in national outlets such as Welt and Deutschlandfunk.[5][6]
Government reports, such as the 2024 evaluation of the Prostituiertenschutzgesetz by the German Ministry for Family Affairs, have also referenced the wider debate on sex work in which Erobella has participated.[7]
Events and outreach
[change | change source]Erobella has been involved in outreach and public discussions. In 2024 it hosted events such as the International Sex Workers’ Rights Day Meetup in Cologne.[8]
The company has also taken part in academic discussions, including a presentation at the Beyond the Interface conference at York University in Canada, and a lecture event at the University of Warwick.[9][10]
