After WWII, they were stigmatized because so many Germans had used them during the occupation. Of course, a lot of German soldiers were put out of action from the VD they contracted in these establishments, so they were kind of a resistance movement.
Prostitution and the military have always been associated with each other. You get a bunch of young men together with no women to restrain their social behavior and the end result is a lot of men in search of action. Add in the little detail of possible imminent death or permanent disability in a hellish war zone, and you wonder how well survivors were able to resume domesticated life after war's end.
Interestingly enough, I have heard that France is not all that receptive to escorting now, primarily because of the feminist movement (that's from one source). Germany is another story, though. Lots of activity there.
Despite having a large French-speaking population, Belgium is a separate country from France, so it has its own laws. Technically, though, brothels are illegal, even if the law overlooks that. Brothels are illegal in a few Eastern European countries, but I didn't have much of a problem finding them.
