Green light for Germany's red lights - World - www.theage.com.au: "German job centres are offering unemployed women work as
prostitutes and are obliged to cut welfare benefits of those who
refuse to work in the world's oldest profession under new welfare
laws."
Can they be legally forced to do so? I actually thank Cannon fire's site(link right) for alerting me to this. There is a link to a German article there and indeed they changed the law and are now arguing since prostitution and sex working is now legal there is no moral judgement about it and it can therefore be a legitimate option as a job. Do not forget there are also gay prostitution businesses. It is being viewed as a job like any other. The forums in Germany are alive with discussion because they realise Berlin hasn't got it right at all. There are those arguing it's no big deal and it's okay as a job if you don't have another one and others arguing that that you can't compel people to be sex workers since sex is a consensual matter and that the act itself has to be consensual. Brothel owners know they cannot force people to have sex. It's all a bit crazy but what else is new in this world? And I tell you, the lawyers had better get their acts together on this one because there ARE issues with forcing people to comply with unsolicited sex. The German courts are going to have fun. Poor Germany. It's not new in Germany though. Heinrich Himmler condoned it 1942.
