Drive-in sex booths proposed for Berlin’s historic Tempelhof airport
From CNN: By Matthew Robinson
Stephan von Dassel, mayor of Berlin’s central Mitte district has proposed installing in the airport site, “Verichtungsboxen” — booths where prostitutes can meet clients, including drive-in booths, where customers can meet sex workers in their own vehicles.
Dassel claims that the abundance of unregulated street prostitution is leading to men “seeking sexual services at such a low price”, and that prostitutes are now having to engage in sexual services as a “bulk business in order to earn a basic income.”
Dassel says regulated sex booths could improve the safety and working conditions for sex workers, while also reducing the “negative impact of prostitution on the residential environment.”
One resident said. “I feel like it is moving it to a place where it is less of an inconvenience for rich people. I felt happy when they were fine on a street corner, rather than pushing them out of sight. If it moves out of sight, it might be less safe.”
