My last trip was to Pattaya in November 2019 and I was ready to book a return for the end of March 2020 but when Covid started to spread I decided to wait, in reflection I should have done the trip anyway as the borders did not close then nor would I need to quarantine on return.
Roll around the end of August 2021 and I can finally take a trip to Germany, I had been fully vaccinated at the start of June and the restrictions had eased so I chose to take two weeks off work. I’d heard that the clubs were not opening all at once and when opened, there were few girls available, they had to register again, so it would take time for the clubs to have sufficient girls working again. Sharks was said to have 10 girls for 100 customers the first day it opened at the end of June. I was also hearing that there was a lot of price gouging going on with €150 being charged there for an hour of basic service, the girls were taking advantage of limited supply. Entry prices were mixed with some clubs offering bargain entry prices for limited services and other clubs increasing their price. I also had to wait a while as Europe had blocked UK visitors due to the Indian variant and following that there were ever changing rules on travel. The trip was in jeopardy again as the incidence rates started to climb again, fortunately with the vaccine program, the states were relaxing a bit and there were rule changes in NRW shortly after the clubs were forced to close in districts with high rates so they were only closed for between a week or month.

Before the trip, I had been keeping up with the changes going on.
* The operators of Acapulco in Velbert had not renewed their lease for one reason or another, the operators of Magnum had taken over, renamed the club to Prime and done some renovations.
* Acapulco Gold was still owned by the old operators and they had also taken over Great Palace in Castrop-Rauxel renaming it to Penelope.
* Freude39 had been sold by the owner of the RTC group. I'd not heard that it was open
* FKK Alperbeck was now an RTC?
* Two new new FKK's had opened near FKK World, I suspected that they would be small places.
* Heaven 7 had been renamed Rheingold.
* ParkSauna Residence had closed, possibly for good.
* YingYang in Belgium was closed after police found a small quantity of drugs in a customer's locker, the owners were held to be at fault by the local mayor in an attempt to break the club by forcing it to close for a year and later refusing licenses required to reopen.
* Then early in the year it was said that the owner of GoldenTime and Living Room had died, interest in GoldenTime was said to have sold to the operator of Oceans. It did not open when the other clubs were allowed to do so. There was no news about Living Room.
* Babylon was in trouble too, they had done some refurbishment adding a pool and sauna outside but to fund it they increased the entry to €75 for all day, introduced new rates for shorter periods, and the girl's prices for sessions increased too. It had the effect of driving the mongers to other clubs in the region for better or cheaper service and in turn the number of girls dropped off too.

My trip was booked and I was ready to go on a Friday night yet the latest news from Germany was poor. While the clubs were opening up, in North Rhine Westphalia the government had set harder rules on places with full body contact - if you did not have a vaccination or else evidence that you had covid earlier then the requirement was for a PCR test within 48 hours. This stopped the girls from working as it would cost them an extra €180 each week. That left a lot fewer girls available in the clubs. I was expecting poor pickings in NRW.

The trip to Germany was not as simple as you might expect, I found out at the last minute that it was necessary to register with the health authorities with a current vaccination record. I'd also book a Super 8 hotel that was being closed and I'd not been notified that my reservation would be honoured by another hotel within the chain, I ended up transferred to a downtown Oberhausen sister hotel that was better but did not quite match my needs. Interestingly, it was a short walk away from the brothel street Rote Miele, I might have gone but I'd taken a look before, not great then and reports were that it was very poor due to covid.

There are Covid rules all over. When you check in to your hotel you have to show proof that you have been vaccinated. In shops you have to wear a mask. Wherever you are, you will get shouted at if you are not wearing a mask. In all the clubs, first all staff and visitors must be tested or vaccinated or prove that they have recovered from Covid. While in the clubs you must wear a mask while moving around and you cannot sit near someone else. This being Germany, most people follow the rules.

Saturday August 28, I had booked a massage with extras session with Ploy https://www.ploys-thai-paradies.com, I had heard good reviews of her service on https://www.freiercafe.sex/ so I made a booking. I was lucky to be able to do that as she had just restarted working after the the coronavirus restrictions eased. Ploy has two locations, one is her "naughty" studio where she has all her toys, the other is across the street where she does only legitimate Thai massage. The massage was really good in all ways and I'd book again, she's very popular and kept getting calls and messages while we were getting ready and she even had someone at the door who showed up without the necessary booking. Ploy is quite old, maybe 50+ and very chubby but her service makes up for that.

It's the same routine everywhere you go, show proof of vaccination with ID when you enter and wear a mask as you move around.

Sunday and it's a bit of a sausage Fest at Acapulco Gold, a lot of men and not so many girls. Most of the girls here are very good looking, is almost as if they know that they can make good money at this time. There was one stunner who must have done 15 rooms in the time I was there. Most girls were not sitting around for too long before another man approached. When you saw a girl that you wanted the only thing to do is approach her immediately. My first session was with Andrea, a nice cutie with big tits, I'm not sure but I swear that she has a twin working here. This was not a great session for me, I had hoped that I was beyond the need for Viagra but it turned out that I was wrong, maybe it was the rushed service that turned me off but I could not keep it up. Well Rebecca is not Andrea's sister but I still had a good time with her. She really did a good job and I was happy to tip her an extra €10 on top of the expected €40 fee. I finished at around 10:30 and there were still people coming in.

Monday, I started the day with a trip to Grimberg, Funny to see the front door open by a girl that is wearing only a facemask. There were only 5 girls available and entrance was €30. I did two girls there Sherry €30 and Madi €30. Bareback service is still standard so everything was fine, there was not a great selection but that was no surprise, only one girl this time could have made it in an FKK.

Next up was the former Acapulco, now the new Prime. It's been completely redecorated and really needed it as the old leaseholders let the place run down in their final years. Everything appeared to be in working order, the downstairs lounge had been redecorated and a pole dance stage put in the centre, the old eating area was now seating and gaming machines, the pool had been replaced by an eating area and more space added to walk around it. A new wider staircase to the left of the old staircase had been added and the upper deck had been refurbished. The bbq station had been moved 90 degrees clockwise against the trees and fencing and the seating area extended to behind where the old bbq station had been. The covered area had been replaced or remodelled with a new panels around the side, a nice roof and sliding doors instead of the plastic flaps. The outside part appeared unchanged but everywhere there was new furniture. All together it has been much improved. It's dead at 2pm, I saw two girls downstairs and only a few men too, I did not expect more as it's a Monday afternoon and I can wait for things to pick up. As usual there's little to eat here, I think meals stopped at 2pm with only bread and salad and I don't know what's coming with so few around. The upstairs bbq opened around 5:30 and beer was free on Sunday's and Mondays. The bbq was chicken, bratwurst and fries. I finally picked a girl around 9:30, Magdalena, she told me that she had once worked in GoldenTime but I did not recognise her as she used to wear glasses, her hair was red then and now black and she'd lost and then gained weight although her face was a lot thinner. I'd had my eye on her all day as there was not much choice, it appeared that Monday was even deader than usual due to covid. Service was really good but then she had sufficient experience being 39 which was a surprise.

Tuesday turned out to be a poor day, I started at Villa Verena where there were not too many girls and only one that I would dare touch. After that I gave up and went to buy some snacks and beer for the rest of the trip. After eating lunch I went off to Penelope which is dead during the day, it was not worth staying there until late evening to see if many other girls would show up.

Wednesday, I tried Arabella. From the reports that I'd seen it was going to be the best RTC compared to the others that I'd visited and so it turned out to be. There were a few more girls around and of them were several good lookers. I found a few candidates for my sperm receptacle and two were worthy.

Next up was a repeat of Acapulco Gold, once again I missed on my prime target but I did repeat with Andrea, altogether a nice afternoon.

Thursday was another trip to Arabella which was the best RTC that I had visited so far, it was not a great time as I wanted to be done early so I grabbed Melissa who it turned out would not do bareback and it ended with just a blowjob. I would have stayed a little longer and done another session but it did get busy and all the nicer girls were taken so I would have had to wait at least another 45 minutes. Instead, I got on the road and headed to Frankfurt. I settled in and came to the sad discovery that both Offenbach and Cologne Bierbourse events had been cancelled.

Friday I started at Dietzenbach, spent a few hours there, first with a tall hefty girl Lidia who worked for me, I then later went with Rebecca who did not, I was disappointed to discover that bareback was now priced at €50 and entry at €30.

I was heading to Sharks, and because of that looked for a beer market in the city, the best reviewed turned out to be on the same street as Sharks which I passed by a few times while searching for the beer market, it was hard to see there being no signs on the street and the store sign was small sized. Sharks was great, it had a lot of women there and many beauties. I was only in the main room for 15 minutes during which I was hit upon by three different girls including the infamous granny Sylvanna from Italy, I'd heard that she had moved from Golden Time a long time ago. Dinner was an outdoor bbq of burgers, wurst, chicken and sides.

Saturday and I am back at Dietzenbach my daily RTC of this leg of the trip. I did a repeat with Rebecca and it was not good, I just kept going but could not finish, it's my fault in part as my gullet was bothering me something awful. Later, Eric set me up with Bella while he was waiting for a threesome with her and another girl. That was a great session.

As the weather was fine and it was a Saturday, I decided to give Oase a chance. I had not heard much good things about it recently. When I arrived mid afternoon it was still quiet, most of the men were outside in the garden relaxing and there were few girls around. I had a bad feeling about things but by evening the situation had improved. Dinner was an outdoor grill, two different wursts, chilli, pasta and seasoned fries with the salad sides. There were a good number of pretty girls later, some would offer cbj which I would decline. I later met a sexy Spanish Morrocan mixed girl who gave me a great bbbj automatically and made me come after we went full on 69.

Sunday at Dietz was not good, I went with Aliana who was terrible. I could have stayed for another round but the girls that I wanted were not available.

Off to Sharks again, with the hot sunny weather there were a lot of customers and many stayed outside most of the time. I did the same and got some sunburn, parts of my body that had not seen sunlight for two years got burnt. When I went inside, I soon hooked up with Lizette, a mullata from Venezuela, good English and a great attitude.

Monday, my last full day in Frankfurt, it was a repeat of Sunday as I knew that this day is the worst for the clubs and there would be fewer girls and I was right. At Dietzenbach, I got a chance to go with one of the girls that I wanted an opportunity with only to discover that she would only use a condom, that's her choice but it's the wrong club for that. I did a repeat with Bella as she is so sexy. I would have done Lidia too but she went out shopping and on returning did not go to the room.

So then I got to Sharks earlier than expected, I was able to find a good parking spot and spent some time relaxing before I went with a quickly forgettable girl. Once again Sylvanna was there and tried to get me to go with her, she must have a thick skin to deal with the repeated rejections that she receives. Again there was a bbq for dinner and after that I selected Rose, part Romanian and part Brasilian if you believe her, she was a little crazy but I had a good time with her. I was surprised that she wanted €400 for her "Bugatti" service which was basically everything apart from bareback, I told her that I did not have the money as that was a ridiculous amount and settled for a €100 session.

Tuesday and I head for Cologne, the plan was to stop by Finca Erotica, I took the backroads intending to go slow and see if there was anything of interest, but by the time I got there the place was too busy and I could not find a place to park. I then went off to Bernd's, and there again was another disappointment as they only had three girls so I left that to my planned day of Thursday. So after all that, I headed to my hotel only to find that there was limited parking and it would cost me €20 a night if I could not find a free spot. Then off to Samya which was pretty dead early evening, I picked a cute cuddly girl for one session and she worked hard but could not get me off.

Wednesday and I return to Finca Erotica, being a little earlier there were parking places. It looks like a great club, decorated in a Roman style it has a decent enough layout. It was a painful drive from Cologne, a car crash on the autobahn required a diversion that took an extra 45 minutes. I also found it to be quiet all day, the men were mostly outside getting sun and few were going to rooms, leaving the girls sitting around or approaching everyone. There were plenty of girls that I would be willing to go with so it turned out ok. One girl with lips that looked like Scarlett Johansen without filler gave me a great time but most things were extra's, I paid €100 to include BBBJ, with another girl it was inclusive for €50.

Thursday was good, I headed first to Luderland not expecting as many girls as they had, I'd heard reports that they only had four girls working but it was double that. So after a session there I moved on to Bernd's. I heard that the famous Maria was working there but I did not see her around. Instead I went with Candy. I hung around for a good while but it got busy and all the girls were taken so I decided to leave.

On Friday, I decided that I would not do an FKK in Cologne, Samya was not that good on Tuesday but if I were to return then it would be better to save that for my last night. So I returned to Luderland again, did some shopping for my return home and from there went to Acapulco Gold. Both were good.

Saturday was my last full day and it did not go well, when I returned to Luderland, the club was packed with men, I was there for almost an hour before I could go with the girl from yesterday although I was hoping not to repeat myself.

Prime club was even worse! Far too many men and very few girls, enough that I gave up as I counted about six girls there that evening.

So that's the end of my trip, it's been great that I can make a mongering trip after a two year gap. I can see that time is needed to recover before the FKK's get back to normal. Covid rules are a burden which may continue for years more. Clubs are short of girls and that will take time to remedy, maybe someone should check on Romania's vaccination program. This is somewhat balanced out by the fewer male visitors too, those clubs that depend on big events like Messe to draw in a surge of custom won't see that happening this year and maybe into next year too. It was also clear that apart from a small number of visitors from the Netherlands, few foreigners were to be seen, it was mainly locals.

I also think that 2022 will be a great opportunity for men in the clubs, I feel that a lot of women will be joining the clubs as their home countries continue to struggle through the economic impact Covid has had.

My next trip may be to Thailand for the last two weeks of the year, I'm required to take that time off work and if the existing restrictions are removed by then it will be a go. My other choice is to find a different country that I can visit without restrictions that won't close up for Christmas and New Years, and will be warm.

It's reports like this that make me kiss the ground here in Florida, where vax passports are illegal and businesses will be fined $5k per incident for requiring vax.

I had the rona. Nasty flu for sure. Now I have natural immunity. That's all the passport I need!

Have you considered Brazil for December? They're not too insane as of yet.

Unfortunately Brazil is on the Red List and I would have to spend two weeks in a Quarantine hotel when I return. I'll be watching the status of Thailand, Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia in case I can go to one of those countries, preferably some country where I can treat myself to a hot girl on Christmas Day.

Thanks for the detailed review ! You covered a lot of ground which is fun for hunting, even though the sessions weren't all great.

What do you think will be the top 1-2 spots in Germany in 2022 for hot chicks and nice furnishings? I've barely done anything in Europe for the last decade, but plan to return sometime.

It's far too early to know yet, FKK's have been hit hard by Covid and right now there have been more men with fewer girls. I expect this to turn around but it will take time. Far too many clubs have not had enough girls and there is little daytime action in most places. Everyone is still waiting to see if Goldentime will reopen and if they will draw the same number of girls.

Definition of RTC? From context I think I can guess, but would appreciate the official explanation.

I missed the question until today.

RTC is German for "Rote Teppen Club" in English "Red Carpet Club", an informal description for a number of clubs with the same owner who put red carpets in many. Until the law changed in 2017, they were known for AO or no condom sex. Now it is banned but you rarely see girls tell you that they want a condom.

Also some news from last month, Goldentime in Bruggen was destroyed in a fire one night, the owners had been renovating the club for several months by this time. The club was owned by the same owners of Oceans and the Goldentime staff are operating a daytime club in Oceans before switching to the old night-time format at 23:00.
