“You can’t give orders to your employees. It’s not allowed,” he says. Actually, says Knop, managing prostitutes is completely legal. The problem is making sure you don’t cross the line between “managing” them and “exploiting” them.
Helmut Sporer, Detective Chief Superintendent of the Crimes Squad in Augsburg, Bavaria, is one of many German policemen frustrated by the law’s greyness in this area. In October, he talked at a seminar in Brussels about a “flat rate” brothel in Augsburg. “Flat rate” places pay the prostitutes for a shift, making their money from the bar and the punters’ entry fees. The women working here were given strict rules: they had to be completely naked at all times and, according to Sporer, were sometimes obliged to offer unprotected sex. If they broke a rule, they had to pay a fine to the brothel. “The court declared all this to be legal,” said Sporer, because the brothel owners had “right of direction” over the women – as they would over any other employee.”
Go read the rest of the article to reconfirm your correct notion that prostitution (in whatever form) is not good for women.

That excerpt alone is enough for me.
That is pure exploitation, plain and simple

Good link. Even if it was the Torygraph. Heard most of it before, but sex boxes in Köln was a new one to me. The flat rate scenario is dire, and I’d also heard about Eastern Europeans pushing down the rate (and not just in prostitution). Says it all when raping a woman is cheaper than a bath :(
But still, gotta remember choice, empowerment, independence.
Were you trying to give me an MI?
