Definitions

Small Owner-Operated Brothel. A legal category mostly used in New Zealand: a premise where four or fewer sex workers operate independently with no separate operator skimming. Carved out by the Prostitution Reform Act 2003 so workers could run their own gaff without needing a brothel operator's certificate.
“Two of them rented a flat together and ran it as a SOOB — no boss, no cut, just splitting the rent.”
