Foreign women from European Union countries are allowed to work as prostitutes in Germany. Women from other countries can obtain three-month tourist visas for Germany. If they work in prostitution, it is illegal, because the tourist visa does not include a work permit. Interestingly, no clear pattern could be observed for the different sexuality-related issues regarding age, which seems somewhat counterintuitive when assuming that increasing liberality in terms of sexual attitudes may be linked to a generational effect [ 39]. With regard to consensual sex between two women, acceptance increased with younger age. This response behavior was also evident for promiscuity and sex without love, although the level of acceptance was consistent for the three younger age groups. The result that younger respondents were most likely to reject extramarital sex seems to be particularly interesting. Especially the young generation (generation Z) is characterized by sex unconnected to commitment [ 39] and current results could be an indication of a return to more traditional values [ 14].

The Thuringian Corona Ordinance decided to keep all the prostitution-related facilities closed until 31 August 2020. The hygiene concepts referred to by brothel operators were all denied. Due to the physical closeness related to such services, it was impossible to counteract the dangers of getting infected effectively.

An even larger one, the twelve-floor building now called Pascha in Cologne was opened in 1972. The AIDS scare of the late 1980s had an effect on the business, and the Eros Center closed, as well as several other brothels in Hamburg. [22] [23] The Pascha continued to flourish, and has evolved into a chain with additional brothels in Munich and Salzburg.

By March 2020, all brothels in Trudering, Munich were closed due to the coronavirus crisis. Prostitutes continued to work outside of regulated establishments. They were allowed to set appointments with clients in the non-restricted areas of the city. As long as brothels were not allowed to open, prostitution continued to take place outside the brothels.

[109] In April 2009, it was reported that the plans would provide for a penalty of up to 5 years in prison. [110] The law had not been enacted when the center-right CDU- FDP coalition came to power in November 2009. In 2014, the coalition of CDU and SPD renewed their plans to increase regulation and control of prostitution. Several organisations protested against these plans, amongst them prostitutes organisations as Hydra, Doña Carmen, the ' Berufsverband erotische und sexuelle Dienstleistungen', and an anonymous group of customers, the Freieroffensive. In 2016 and 2017 many of the proposals were brought into law. [42] See also [ edit ] Blazejewski, Ingo (30 March 2012). "Bandidos-Unterstützer und Hell's Angels sind im Duisburger Westen Nachbarn".

Results on gender differences concerning sexual attitudes are ambiguous: Study results from the U.S. overall found more permissive attitudes in male respondents, but differences in the response pattern occurred depending on the topic (e.g. casual sex was seen more acceptable among men but there were no gender differences in attitudes towards homosexuality) [ 12, 13]. Another large-scale study from the U.S. found similar results [ 4]. The overall acceptance towards sexuality-related topics was higher among male respondents, but acceptance towards same sex sexual actions was less pronounced among male respondents. The latter result is congruent with findings from the U.K. and Germany [ 10, 11, 14].

During the Second World War, the German Wehrmacht established about 100 Wehrmacht brothels in the occupied territories, including France, Poland, Italy, and Norway. Lothar-Günther Buchheim described his impressions from Brest: "If a large ship had arrived, the hookers simply laid there between sailors." Military prostitution was regulated, "Only a permit from the military command brothel allowed you to visit. Always use a condom (rubber protection). For the German soldiers there was a disinfectant syringe in the urethra." [18] Eastern European sex workers stranded in Germany as coronavirus shuts brothels". www.euractiv.com. 3 April 2020 .

Most cities established "Sperrbezirke" (off-limits zones) and charge the street based workers an amusement tax, that in the city of Bonn for instance is paid by the sex workers at parking meters, six euro for a period of about eight night hours. The same fee is collected from sex workers in apartments and brothels, sometimes by municipal tax collectors in person. Some sex workers have a nearby caravan, others use the customer's car, still, others use hotel rooms. With recent economic problems, in some large cities "wild" street-based sex work has started to appear: areas where women work temporarily out of short-term financial need. A " sex drive-in", or "Verrichtungsbox", is a facility of structures to enclose cars to provide a safer place for sex work using cars. [64] Prostitution for the procurement of narcotics [ edit ]

The brothel-owner’s rationale isn’t purely financial either. When a journalist asked Paradise’s Jürgen Rudloff if the women at his clubs are working voluntarily, Rudloff, who has four teenage children, answered, “That’s not my business.” Strictly speaking, he was right. As long as they’re just renting rooms, the brothels have no real accountability towards the prostitutes. There are many of these advertised in the daily newspapers. Sometimes run by a single woman or man and sometimes by a group of roommates. Robert has noticed “a few girls” at Pascha who seem unhappy. What would he do if he thought someone was being forced? “I couldn’t do anything. I just wouldn’t go with her in the room.” Also in 2007, authorities in Berlin began to close several apartment brothels that had existed for many years. They cited a 1983 court decision that found that the inevitable disturbances caused by brothels were incompatible with residential areas. Sex workers' rights groups and brothel owners fought these efforts. They commissioned a study that concluded that apartment brothels in general neither promote criminality nor disturb neighbors. [35]
