FIFA World Soccer Cup 2006: sex, prostitution and two balls :-)

While countless numbers of TV viewers worldwide enjoy the Word Football Cup in Germany, many of the predominantly male visitors in Germany seem to want more than just watching an exciting game: they want sex, and Germany appears more than willing to provide it.

Mind you, all these “value added services” are in no way turning the actual soccer world cup into a mega brothel. If you just want to have some “wholesome family fun” with the kids, no problem, you will hardly notice the commercial sex on offer. If you’re a horny single though, well, you have a choice, like any adult should have.

According to http://www.gaybelgium.be/content/EEuAlyApuphykeOncv.shtml Berlin build a 3,000 square metre mega brothel next to the main soccer stadium, catering to 650 visitors, simultaneously.

With most US states criminalising prostitution (an absurd and useless concept), many US visitors to the Soccer world cup in Germany are in for a full-frontal ‘culture’ shock: not only do the Europeans use their feet while playing football (duh, “soccer”), they also drink huge amounts of German beer, with a local government more than willing to allow professional prostitution. Rest assured, the Germans know all about being “100% professional”: you can’t go wrong here - the local prostitutes are STD checked and most even wear badges.

Welcome to Europe

Final score: Holland 2 - Ivory Coast 1. Antwerp turned orange. No real prostitutes visible in Antwerp, but lots of fun, and beer

Newsquote:

“It is estimated that up to 40,000 women could be brought into Germany to work as prostitutes during the World Cup, in order to accommodate the huge influx of demand experts anticipate will be generated by male fans attending the games. Thousands of these women are expected to be illegally trafficked. Prostitution is legal in Germany and as such 400,000women are already involved in prostitution in the country.

However, officials estimate that 3 million fans will buy sex while at the World Cup this year, and to accommodate these numbers 40,000 extra prostitutes are expected to be brought into Germany during this time.”

Anyway, if you’re really insist on buying the services of a prostitute, make sure she actually chose to have sex with you.
