Dortmund sets up "sex huts" for World CupA German city is rushing to install a series of drive-in wooden “sex garages” in time for next year’s World Cup of Soccer and an expected boom in the local sex trade, a city official said Wednesday.
Dortmund, one of 12 cities to host World Cup matches, is anxious to keep prostitutes and their clients off the streets by providing them with discreet places to do business.
Experts estimate as many as 40,000 prostitutes may travel to Germany to offer their services to fans during the tournament.
“The World Cup has put us under added time pressure, as we don’t want a situation where prostitutes and their clients disturb residential areas,” the official said.
Prostitution is legal in Germany in designated areas.
“In Dortmund we have an official red light district on the outskirts, but there is a problem. There is not enough space for everyone to park.”
Dortmund’s plans for the Dutch-designed huts follow similar efforts introduced in Cologne, another World Cup venue.
“Men have to get used to them of course, but a high percentage accept them because they can protect their anonymity,” the official said.“That said
there will always be those who want to go behind a bush, under a bridge or into the woods.”
