Title: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: OcellotJenkins on July 29, 2005, 07:59:29 AM Quote Berlin readies giant brothel for 2006 World Cup (http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/ns/news/story.jsp?id=2005072909510002045894&dt=20050729095100&w=RTR&coview=) BERLIN, July 29 (Reuters) - A German company is looking to cash in on an expected boom in the sex trade during next year's soccer World Cup with a 60-room brothel a walk away from Berlin's Olympic Stadium, German media reported on Friday. Named after the virgin huntress of Greek mythology, the "Artemis" complex is due to open for business in September with whirlpool, sauna, cinema, buffet restaurant and a staff of 100 prostitutes, mass circulation daily Bild reported. "This is no flash rip-off joint where clients are taken for a ride," a spokesman for the Artemis GmbH investment company behind the project, told the newspaper. Prostitution is legal in Germany in designated areas. Dortmund, one of 11 other cities to host World Cup matches, has said it will install drive-in wooden "sex garages" in time for the tournament in a bid to keep the trade off the streets. But the Artemis project does not enjoy the backing of Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit. "We have no need for that," he told Bild.

Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on July 29, 2005, 08:03:04 AM So when a client has to run off to watch a game, I suppose he just leaves a towel on his hooker?

Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Der Helm on August 02, 2005, 02:13:18 AM As far as I know the largest brothel (http://www.pascha.de/index.html) is located in my home town, cologne.
Just a coincidence, I tell you. Oh. And that link might not be safe for work.I know my company blocks it. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 02, 2005, 03:30:01 AM I find it both amusing and puzzling that the girls there apparently will do more than the ones in Amsterdam.
Though I am drawing my assumptions from what should be public knowledge. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: stray on August 02, 2005, 05:41:38 AM Doing one thing right should be more than enough. Doing "more" is usually not a good thing.

Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Der Helm on August 02, 2005, 06:06:27 AM I did not notice the music because I had my speakers turned off.
I apologize. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 02, 2005, 11:12:06 AM Doing one thing right should be more than enough. Doing "more" is usually not a good thing. No, I mean, on the site it mentions cuddling and kissing. That wouldn't fly in Amsterdam, especially the kissing (most of the time). Also, they give you 30 minutes instead of 15. Just making observations. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: NowhereMan on August 02, 2005, 11:41:13 AM You know too much about Dutch brothels...
Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on August 02, 2005, 12:38:21 PM The women in the window fronts in Amsterdam look completely bored. From what I understand from some of our more pervy friends (yes, Dave, mostly you) that expression never changes. Regardless of what they may tell you in Amsterdam, also, many of those women are IV drug users... they just don't shoot up where it shows.
PS Most of them seem to be Indonesian, by the way. Just wanted to mention for Paelos as he says he doesn't "do" Asians. Unless he's not told me, (dammit!) as far as I know, he doesn't "do" anyone yet! You're not holding back on us, are you, Paelos? Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Paelos on August 02, 2005, 12:45:35 PM Just not a fan of Asians, Signe.
I do like Latinas, however. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on August 02, 2005, 12:57:27 PM Well, ok then. Just make sure that when the big day happens, everyone here will be the first to know!
(some of us have money down on this) Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Paelos on August 02, 2005, 12:58:41 PM Well, ok then. Just make sure that when the big day happens, everyone here will be the first to know! Do you not fathom exactly how geeky it would be to proclaim the loss of your virginity first on a website? Only slightly worse that bringing it up in the first place. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on August 02, 2005, 01:02:36 PM Don't worry about your geekiness. Let us worry about how geeky you are. Anyway, how much more geeky can you even get?
Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 03, 2005, 07:34:56 AM PS Most of them seem to be Indonesian, by the way. Um, perhaps in the "Asian" area...but the majority of the RLD, from what I saw, consisted of white European-type girls. And I saw it all. You know too much about Dutch brothels... Funny story. I was relaxing outside a coffee shop one night (OMG, drinking coffee, heh), and some girl just sat down and started talking to me. Apparently, she was a local University student, and also a professional harlot. She taught me a lot about the, um, local industry. I thought the entire thing was somewhat hilarious...though I'm not sure if she was just bored and on break, or taking an odd route to pick up another john. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on August 03, 2005, 07:38:50 AM What? You think I don't look everytime I go to Amsterdam? They were mostly Indonesian everytime I looked. Funny that... Gordon (who is Righ) amost never looks in the windows but I stare and stare and sometimes giggle.
Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 03, 2005, 07:42:10 AM I walked the entire area. I could draw you a damn map, and include the little sub-divisions such as "Black Girl Area", "Cosplay Row", "Asian Area", and "Old Nasty Lady Corner."
I had a lot of free time one night. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Signe on August 03, 2005, 07:43:44 AM I bet your eyes have all sorts of social diseases. You're a very pervy boy. You should move to Arizona with the other pervy boys.

Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: AOFanboi on August 03, 2005, 08:46:14 AM Prostitution is hard for governments.
For instance, here in Norway both buying and selling is legal. In Sweden, buying is illegal, so both sellers and buyers go to Norway or Denmark to "operate". However, it's not considered a profession (according to the Supreme Court here), so the income is not taxed (unless you want to), and it does not require a work permit. Which means the market gets flooded by mostly Nigerian and Eastern European girls. They fill up the entirety of two streets in downtown Oslo all evening. The competition is so hard that prices have dropped to rock bottom (I have read), and some have started to operate more during the day. The overworked police only go after the pimps (since third parties are not allowed to make money off prostitution - perhaps what keeps the tax authorities at bay) and the occasional unofficial brothel (usually a downtown boarding house). Politicans generally avoid the subject because of its ickiness. However, there are strong movements to try and move more in the direction of official brothels (Oslo used to have them 100+ years ago) which would help immensely on the abuse and hygiene problems. Ideally they should also recognise "sexual consultancy" or whatever as a profession, which would mean an end to the thousands trafficed in on tourist visas. IIRC Netherlands is the only European country where prostitutes are taxed and pay pension contributions. By the way, is it true that half of the (female) prostitutes in San Francisco are undercover police trying to nail (in the police way!) people for "soliciting"? And is Nevada still the only state where prostitution is legal? Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 03, 2005, 09:09:22 AM You are correct on the NL piece; those girls are even Unionized.
And I have no idea on Nevada. I was under the assumption that it was only legal in one county, which is where the Bunny Ranch is. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: HaemishM on August 03, 2005, 09:17:25 AM "Cosplay Row" Eeww. Somewhere a geek just sprained his labum. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Strazos on August 03, 2005, 09:23:15 AM Well, by cosplay I mean one of the following "offerings":
1) Wonder Woman 2) Nurse 3) Some girl you went to, with the "pretext" of getting a massage. Yeah, right. The rest, either had their curtains closed (either not currently in service, or "occupied"), or I simply didn't look too hard. Not exactly the place you want to loiter. Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Samwise on August 03, 2005, 09:51:09 AM Nevada is the only state where prostitution is legal, and even then only in certain areas (Las Vegas is not one of those areas) and in licensed brothels.
I doubt the 50% figure on SF prostitutes. Most prostitution in SF is via massage parlors anyway, which isn't what the cops target so much (there's an occasional bust, but not enough to make any sort of dent). Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Yegolev on August 03, 2005, 10:07:29 AM What I was told is that prostitution is legal in Nevada, but local ordinances such as those in Las Vegas prohibit it. Which makes plenty of sense to me.

Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: Pococurante on August 03, 2005, 10:20:30 AM The tools were.

So some counties allow it others do not. If you look up nevada brothels you can probably figure out which counties allow it because all the brothels are consolidated in the few where it is permited. From what I remember its mostly the more rural areas and not permitted near the big cities like vegas.
kaid Title: Re: Giant Brothel For Teh Win Post by: NowhereMan on August 03, 2005, 11:36:04 AM I remember the BBC had a documentary series about the Bunny Ranch place. They said that prostitution was legal in Nevada counties without a city, so yeah, basically in the rural areas.
