Red lights, sexual warmth, paid sex

Red-light districts use red, pink and orange light for a reason: the warmth we feel at being bathed in them. These colours are found in all kinds of sex-industry businesses around the world, whether brothels in China or saunas in the West.

The eyeball experiences pleasure on its own looking at these colours.

It seems to be more visceral than aesthetic. We see prostitutes here but we also just take in the red colours. The green just acts as a frame above and the blue below.

I wonder how many monogamous couples have red bedrooms?

    It is not the direct light stimulus only which works on the eye and brain cells.

    It is the illuminatory effect on human bodies!
    The red wavelength selection of light
    – diminishes tissue defects
    – improves healthy body tone
    – enables sex workers not to work only in their teens and tweens
    – helps the client to relax
    – facilitates business

    I hate the comparison with the butchery where special light for the product exhibition is used. But that is the way what it is used. Or with nicer words:

    The cosy light sheds a second cover onto the naked peoples bodies.
    The lights function is to cover and to illuminate at the same time. Create the twilight which enables promiscuous erotic encounters.

    And it reminds us that sex biz is show biz. A highly demanded illusion is being created in every service session.
