Who works voluntarily as a prostitute? How many women are forced into prostitution in Germany? Would it be better to ban prostitution in Germany? Jenke von Wilmsdorff is researching for “JENKE. Report. No more sex for money in Germany?” on Tuesday, at 8:15 p.m., on ProSieben in Rotlicht.
Prostitutes, sex workers, erotic masseurs. In 2023, 30,636 people were registered as sex workers in Germany. Overall, experts estimate the number of sex workers in Germany to be many times higher. This deviation shows that the oldest profession in the world is still largely underground in 2024.
Accordingly, the question arises as to whether and how politics should intervene in the sex industry? Does the “Nordic model”, which is already practiced in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Iceland, France and Ireland and includes, among other things, a ban on the purchase of sex, provide protection against forced prostitution and improve the situation for sex workers?
During his research, Jenke von Wilmsdorff speaks to politicians, social workers and, of course, sex workers themselves. Nicole Schulze, 44, is a mother of two and a trained medical assistant. She has been working as a prostitute for 20 years. Nicole is self-employed with her own mobile home – and is active in the professional association for erotic and sexual services. Nicole tells Jenke that she benefits from the bans abroad. Almost two thirds of her customers come to her across the border. The location of her mobile home, in the border area in the Eifel, is officially registered with the authorities.
In France, Jenke meets the prostitute Thierry. He has a very clear opinion on the ban on buying sex: “If you are planning to do the same in Germany, you have to look at what is happening in France, in Ireland and in all the countries where people are dying because of these stupid laws because they are not protecting people but their moral agenda.”
What is the conclusion reached by Jenke von Wilmsdorff’s research? Is it time to put an end to sex for money in Germany?
