If you have ever considered visiting Germany for a trip to the FKK's or other sex venues then do it fast!

Germany has just approved a new law that takes effect July 1, 2017 which will kill the industry. More news at http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/germany-prostitution-law-condoms-sex-workers-bundesrat-vote-approved-date-comes-in-brothels-illegal-a7326056.html

But basically:
* condoms are required for all sex acts
* prostitutes must be registered renewing every other year, annually if under 21
* prostitutes must attend a "health advice" session every year, every six months if under 21
* sex venues must enforce all requirements and have enhanced security.

I don't see many prostitutes willing to be registered and none of the FKK's or brothels will risk the consequences of hiring an unregistered worker, their own regulations will cost them dear in upgrading and administration.

I'd heard that this was coming but also that the law would not pass the state governments signoff but they did it anyway. It's hard to believe that the legal sex trade can continue with such harsh regulation.

I thought that FKKs were just naturist clubs, and whatever happened between two or more consenting adults was up to them? I've certainly never paid the front desk for a girl, you always pay them directly.

No, that's a myth originating as the girls went naked and the guys would get a towel. They were always sex venues and can't claim otherwise.

It's going to kill all the sex venues as the girls must register as prostitutes and they won't want to be on record as a sex worker. Even streetwalkers and escorts are included. Clubs and brothels must keep records on the girls (and maybe clients), be licensed, have security alarms in all the rooms and undergo checks on trafficking, gangs and other criminality.

All sorts of regulations get suspended for the refugees -- get to ride public transit free, etc. Perhaps a Syrian FKK will open under the old rules?

I guess I gotta make a one last time trip for old times sake
