Paying For Sex: Cheaper Than Ever

 

BERLIN (AP) — It's past midnight in downtown Berlin, and the prostitutes pace in front of the Hackescher Markt's stores.

Signs of a slow economy are everywhere — a sportswear store offers 40 percent markdowns, and bars advertise discounted drinks.

 

Like so many other businesses, Europe's largest legalized prostitution industry is having to adapt to the economic downturn. Customers are fewer or more frugal, competition has increased, and more clubs and brothels are offering discounts to drum up business.

 

Since late 2008, the number of English and American tourists has dropped and the street dynamic has changed, according to one prostitute in her mid-20s who requested anonymity because she did not want her family to know her profession. She still gets customers, she said, but they no longer pay for the extras.

 

"We have to be a lot more aggressive now," said the woman, wearing pink jeans and a black corset, who has worked the area for three years. "The customers used to come straight to you. Now they don't ask you as much."

 

Nevertheless, she said, the prostitutes in the area have been sticking to a set minimum price — about euro80 ($110) for sex.

 

"If he doesn't pay our prices then he can't go home with me," she said, putting her hands on her hips. "That simple."

 

Prostitution is legal in Germany, with the same rights and benefits as other professions, such as health and unemployment insurance. There are about 450,000 prostitutes nationwide, according to 2008 numbers, with 10,000 in Berlin. Streetwalkers like those in the Hackescher Markt make up only about 3 percent, with the remaining 97 percent working in brothels, massage parlors or out of private residences.

 

Though the demand for prostitutes' services remains strong, the supply has increased as more people lose their jobs and turn to the profession, said Marion Detlefs, of the German prostitution advocacy group Hydra. The result is increased competition, she said.

 

In response, clubs and brothels are increasingly marketing themselves either as high-class, exclusive spas, or as bargain basements of delight.

 

The capital's biggest bordello, Artemis, is one of the former, with a wide variety of attractions. For an entry fee of euro80, guests gain access to a gym, free buffet, a pool and two erotic cinemas. The sex costs extra — euro60 ($83) for 30 minutes, with set prices for a menagerie of other sexual services. On any given day, the bordello has 60 to 90 women working, said manager Vanessa Rahn.

 

Jenna, 30, a soft-spoken bottle blonde who works there, left a job in hotel hospitality to become a prostitute two years ago.

 

"It wasn't a very fun job, and I wanted to try something more interesting and fun," she said, requesting that her last name not be used.

 

Jenna said she hasn't seen a decrease in the number of her daily customers — usually about 10 men — but they have grown increasingly frugal. She also noted a drop in businessmen customers as fewer attend meetings at a nearby conference center.

 

"This is what the girls have been complaining about," Rahn said. "The number of customers is pretty much the same, but men only go once or twice to rooms, not three or four times, like before."

 

However, Artemis is working hard at bringing in customers through incentives such as discount cards and lowered prices for taxi drivers and senior citizens. The incentives have meant an increase in the number of regular customers, Rahn said.

 

At the other end of the spectrum is Berlin's Pussy Club bordello, which has branches in Heidelberg and Wuppertal.

It opened in mid-2008 with a focus on the discount-minded customer, offering an "all you can sex" flat-rate. For between euro70 and euro100, depending upon the time of day, customers can enjoy any sexual services with an unlimited number of women. For their work, the women are also paid a flat-rate wage.

 

"All the girls get a daily wage of euro100 to euro250 ($140 to $347), so they don't have to worry about money, which is good in this working atmosphere," manager Patricia Floreiou said in an e-mailed reply to questions. She noted a steady increase in applications since the Pussy Club's opening, attributing this in part to the bordello's flat-rate salary.

 

"Many women in other clubs aren't earning enough anymore, and we offer steady, secure money."

Floreiou said the pricing structure has helped the bordello avoid any problems, despite the global market downturn, and that the number of customers has not gone down.

 

Back in Hackescher Markt, the American-German prostitute said she was thinking of a change in location, as she bent down to retie the laces on knee-high black patent leather boots with five-inch platform heels. She is planning to head soon to the U.S. to work in East Coast strip clubs, saying there was still ample work there, as well.

 

"I make more in one night just dancing than on the streets here," she said.

 

Artemis' Jenna, meanwhile, said she will eventually return to the quieter life working for hotels, but that she is in no rush to leave the high pay and dependability of prostitution.

 

"This type of job will always be in existence," she said. "People will always have money for fun."

[Guest Berlin Red Light District]

Where is the Red-light district in Berlin?

 

There is no single red light distcrit in Berlin. But Berlin has multiple red light areas including Mitte, Stuttgarter Platz, and the corner of Kurfürstenstrasse and Potsdamer Strasse. Though prostitution is legal throughout Germany, these are areas with higher concentrations of prostitution. Hookers walk the streets, work out of flats and are found in numerous legal establishments such as massage parlors and bordellos. One of the largest, most famous of these establishments is the gigantic Artemis FKK wellness club located at the west end of the Kurfürstendamm in an industrial area of Charlottenburg. The Stuttgarter Platz in Charlottenburg district is one of the Berlin´s Red Light Districts. Many type of prostitutes walk along Oranienburger Street or can be found on street corners around Hackescher Markt, one of Berlin's busiest shopping and entertainment districts. Another area known for its high concentration of sex workers is Mitte, the central district of East Berlin. There is also a Red Light District on the border between the two Berlin districts of Schöneberg and Tiergarten that has existed for decades. The corner of Kurfürstenstrasse and Potsdamer Strasse is in the heart of the district.

Hopefully this gave you guys some kind of clue about sex business in Berlin.

[Guest Berlin brothels]

Super red light district information package to Berlin from spirit-of-berlin.de. Have fun guys!

 

In Berlin there is no special red-light district.  Nor is there any sin miles, sit in the scantily clad girls in shop windows and wait for free, as in the Hamburg Herbert Street. A disreputable station district will not find in Berlin. Especially not the main railway station.

 

The back of the Bahnhof Zoo (Jebensstraße) is indeed famous for its gay scene from the movie "Die Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo", but really there is not much going on. Girl you is not true there anyway, a railway mission has taken command here.

 

If you really feel Reeperbahn needs, the needs for the evening Stuttgarter Platz (S5,7,75 Charlottenburg). Not that there oodles of Bordsteinschwalben walk around, but there is a strip club (HankyPanky) with sometimes a bouncer who wants to persuade passers-by to visit. A table dance bar there is also.

 

This does not mean that there is no prostitution in Berlin. The trade with the commercial sex is distributed in small bites all over the city.

 

 

There are more than 400 brothels in Berlin, but rarely can be seen from the outside, because they usually disguise themselves as normal homes. If you call on the relevant ads in the daily press or the two city magazines "Tip" and "Zitty" specified number, one learns the addresses. 

, the district offices, these private brothels only close when neighbors complain about noise or like it, but passed the not often. Fucking is not finally prohibited, and be a prostitute in Germany is a recognized profession with social security. The visitors are usually discreet and yodel not great during sex rum, alcohol is seldom served.

 

Leader in the brothel frequency is the Neukölln district, followed by Charlottenburg, both in the former West. You'd think after 1989 tons of in the GDR does not exist brothels were established in the east. But this was not so, the boom then went in the direction of DIY, car dealers and supermarkets. 

Sexually East Germany was much better than the FRG. The girls zickten usually not around and were open to many things. 

"There was nothing else," as an ex-DDRlerin put it. 

Meanwhile, there are in the former East Berlin but also some puffs.

 

 

Something like " whorehouse "in which we look at four stories long scantily clad girls in their rooms and may contact - such as in Frankfurt - it is not in Berlin. Four floors can for untrained men anyway be quite exhausting, in Berlin you want something to Opis not expect well. 

It is planned but one, Potsdam / Ecke Kurfürstendamm shopping street. The discussions and protests of local residents about are still in progress (2013).

 

The only  peep show with uninterrupted, private girls contact can be found in the Schöneberg Martin-Luther-Straße 18 It is called "Big Sexy Land" and is equal to the Geisbergstraße. The nearest underground station is Wittenberg Platz, since then you have about 10 minutes on foot run (U1, U2, U3). By Viktoria-Luise-Platz (U4), it is about the same distance.

 

 

For the younger people there on weekends the KitKat Club, where it's always approaching very frank to erotic. Since you have but to follow a dress code, jeans is nich.

Sometimes there is not the KitKatClub also because of the location which did not work. 

really does not fall under the prostitution, more so under "sexually non-jammed pleasure for younger people." 

"young at heart" because nothing helps. For 80-year-old, like 15 feel, this is the wrong place.

 

The street prostitution is also well distributed over Berlin. 

found what you are in the Oranienburger Strasse , the Elector street and in the street of the 17th June . 

It is sometimes sought after street prostitution in Neukölln. There but not there. And no, in the Friedrichstrasse , there is neither whores nor nightlife. There are almost only expensive jet-setter stores.

 

 

If you still do not have found the great sexual adventure, you can still Noll village square and its side streets (Motz) around. Especially for gays is a good quarter. (U1,2,3,4 Nollendorfplatz).
