Nothing like a nice sweaty John to ruin your afternoon.

Sex is a lot more fun when your partner has a little stamina...­. And if the sex workers commuted to work on bicycles or maybe ran or had a treadmill for the idle hours.... Hmmm.

Check out Happy Endings? a documentary film on Asian massage parlors in Rhode Island where prostitution is legal.
http://www.happyendingsdoc.com
The documentary follows the lives of women in Asian massage parlors in RI, as Politicians, Johns, a Woman Studies Professor, Police, the ACLU, community groups, and residents engage in a debate over changing the “loophole” in the law that allows for prostitution “behind closed doors”.

Great news that even that "industry" is going green although they must be hit by the recession also as I read on Spiegel online there is a Brothel in Stuttgart that charges a 100 Euro flatrate, can't beat that deal.

What a bunch of absolute drivel for a Green page. Beer, brothels and cats.

"Berlin brothel offers discounts for cyclists" "...and it's good for the girls." said Thomas Goetz, owner of the "Maison d'envie" brothel.

Why? Because the girls know that cyclists can't get it up?

Recycling condoms will be very eco-friendly as well. Get those things out of our waste stream.

This is actually a great idea. Clients that get there under their own power, instead of whatever drive-through sketchiness are likely a lot better people for sex-workers to deal with.

Germany once tried to force women collecting unemployment to work at brothels.
