Only in Germanica: a brothel offers a sex flatrate.

http://newsblaze.com/story/200907221.../topstory.html

Now, big discussion in Germany, is this unethical ?
Is it taking advantage of the women ?
Or is it just a smart business move ?

I'm not understanding the controversy. Explain it to me please.
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."

Yes, but that would be sex at a cut-rate...

Do you have to put your clothes back on when you go to the buffet?

If exempt employees whine of only one thing, that would be putting 50% more work for 0% more money, while hourly people get 150% during overtime.

70 Euros for 6 hours? In Berlin? You get what you pay for, I guess: a nice HSV infection.

What exactly is the controversy?
It's a legal business so the women working there aren't illegal and exploited.

The "article" linked in the OP reads as if it was written by a 15 year old, with no research skills. Clearly, there's no information there to form an opinion.

Well, it's been on some German news sites, so I haven't read the article turtle has linked to.

I didn't link the German articles, because obviously, most here wouldn't be able to read it.

Therefore, I just grabbed the first English newslink.

Well, color me surprised: The Catholics have a problem with it.

Käuflicher Sex: Baden-Württemberg will Flatrate-Bordelle schließen - SPIEGEL ONLINE - Nachrichten - Panorama

From what I've gathered, the prostitutes are actually happier with the flatrate-deal, since it means *they* get fixed wages for a day, making their lives a whole lot easier, and there's much less competition among the women for clients.

Well, it's predictable that people who have a problem with prostitution per se (at least officially ) also oppose this.
