The boxes are equipped with panic alarms which can be activated if the clients or prostitutes feel in any danger.
The sex workers will have to register with a health insurer and buy a ‘work ticket’ each night for £3.50 each night that they work.
Prostitution in Zurich will be confined to the booths and two other zones after they open.
This is intended to curb the large numbers of prostitutes working in residential areas and in the city centre.
Prostitution has been there since Mankind began.
There have been attempts to either to control it or ban it.
But human nature being what it is, it continues, as Drinking and Gambling do.
These are human foibles and one can do nothing about it, except by strong moral values.
But now it is a fad to question everything in the garb of freedom of thought .
So be it.
In human survival only the fittest Will.
Those who are profligate will lose the battle.
I can hear some one where is the proof that the Profligate will not survive?
Well, some things are better experienced .
Now Switzerland has come to a decision to regulate prostitution, by…?
Opening a Sex Drive In!
If you can not beat them, join them, justify it with far-fetched arguments.
Prostitution cost will go up.
Story:
Authorities in Zurich are trying an innovative way to regulate prostitution by introducing ‘sex boxes’ as discreet solicitation areas.
The nine boxes to be unveiled this month in a former industrial estate have been converted at a cost of £1.5 million.
They will be in use daily, from early evening until 5am.
They will then drive into one of the wooden sheds, which are hung with safe sex posters.
The boxes are equipped with panic alarms which can be activated if the clients or prostitutes feel in any danger.
The sex workers will have to register with a health insurer and buy a ‘work ticket’ each night for £3.50 each night that they work.
Prostitution in Zurich will be confined to the booths and two other zones after they open.
This is intended to curb the large numbers of prostitutes working in residential areas and in the city centre.
Similar to a car wash, drivers must first pass a checkpoint, where they will negotiate the rate, before proceeding to one of the nine booths for some private time. Each sex drive-in is equipped with an alarm so workers can immediately notify authorities in case of emergency. Security guards and social workers will also be on hand.
The sex stalls are expected to be open daily from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Women working at the drive-in will be required to pay for a permit and medical insurance, along with a nightly tax fee of five Swiss francs (about $5).
The set-up is part of an ongoing effort to regulate prostitution in the country. Last July, for example, the Swiss government amended its criminal code to make it illegal to pay a 16 or 17-year-old for sex.
