Anal sex. Oral sex without a condom. Group sex. Gang bangs. All of it legal, of course, because in Germany prostitution has the government stamp of approval. This gigantic flesh market houses over girls in rooms and on any given day has over male customers.
In the film Josie, one of the women prostituted in the brothel, talks about her personal journey. Like many other women, childhood trauma led her into the sex trade. He was beating me and he did some sexual abuse. Josie says she is currently studying politics in her free time and hopes to go on to become a criminologist. As she goes on to reflect on her life and what she has experienced she becomes visibly upset.
Today experts estimate that the number of women being prostituted in Germany has increased, some say even as much as thirty percent. Operating mainly out of Asia, Russia, and North America, they offer five to ten-day packages that include flights, hotels, and limousine service, and promise their clients a complete tour of all the most famous red light districts.
Even bestiality brothels have popped up in a country where anything goes when it comes to sex. Each participant pays 35 Euros, which pays for sex with prostituted women, and provides drinks and food. Condom-use is explicitly banned and face masks are provided in order to protect the identity of the johns. Sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, abuse, violence and organized crime runs rampant to say the least. This is one of hundreds of cases where forced exploitation has been discovered just under the surface of a facade of legitimacy.
The German government is earning an enormous amount of money off of the exploitation of hundreds of thousands of vulnerable women. Furthermore, most of the women working in Germany are not German citizens but are transient women from impoverished countries whose poverty is exploited by pimps, traffickers, buyers, and the government itself.
