== Literature ==
* The [[Red Light District]] of New Orleans in the early 1900s is heavily featured in [[The Meq]], though it doesn't really fit into any of the above three categories because it's shown so realistically.
* The city of Ankh-Morpork in the [[Discworld]] books has an area known as the Street of Negotiable Affection, which is maintained by the [[Band of Brothels|Seamstress's Guild]].
** Renamed from "The Whore Pits" after much representation from said Guild.
Line 51:
 
== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* The city of [[Capital City|Sharn]] in ''[[Eberron]]'' has ''three'' red light districts -- adistricts—a tacky and tawdry one, a middle-of-the-road one with the biggest [[Voluntary Shapeshifting|changeling]] influence, and an arguably tasteful one.
* In ''[[Exalted]]'', the Demon City has a ''gold'' light district. This is because gold is seen as an obscene color in hell due to its association with the sun. Also, the district is a very powerful demon in her own right.
** Most such locations in Exalted are blue light districts, the colour chosen to honour the Maiden (ahem!) of Serenity. In fact, the Maiden of Serenity's office ''is'' one of these, as it's modeled after the first whorehouse in Creation and still serves as a bar, whorehouse and opium den while also serving as a divine government building.
