EVEN AFTER 90 MINUTES OF ONANISM? (via John Resnick):

Germany's sex industry gears up for World Cup (Karin Strohecker Tue Mar 14, 2006, Reuters)

The combination of nail-biting soccer matches and crowds of beer-swilling males could mean hefty profits for Germany's sex industry.

It is deploying an army of prostitutes to satisfy the needs of libidinous fans during the month-long 2006 World Cup.

Some 1 million foreign visitors are expected to flood into Germany from June 9 and many expect large numbers of male spectators to wind down after a match in the arms of a prostitute or in the red light districts of the 12 host cities. [...]

"Football and prostitution are a great match," said Hans-Henning Schneidereit, owner of the St. Pauli's Safari Cabaret, renowned for its sex shows.


Great, a million guys who normal women aren't interested in....

. . . nail-biting soccer matches . . .

There's no such thing.

Mike:

Come now, let them pretend they occupy themselves by biting their nails.

Maybe they meant beer-swilling soccer matches and nail-biting men.

Didn't we have stories about armies of prostitutes deploying for the political conventions in 2004, only to end up unlucky? I suspect this is just a sex-obsessed reporter desperate for a story teaming up with brothels desperate for free advertising.

If I found myself in a foreign city forced to watch WC soccer, I might be seeking the services of a hooker just to kill the boredom.

Perhaps in honor of World Cup soccer and Brandi Chastain, they can have all the hookers take their tops off every time someone scores a goal (though admittedly, in a lot of Cup games this could lead to some very chaste prostitutes running around Germany...)

An excellent illustration of why it is imperative that prostitution be legalized. A country without a regulated sex industry is pleading for trouble. And deserves it.
