PRAGUE SEX CAPITAL

Nearby Phoenix, where I was staying, a few blocks from Wenceslas Square - were two cabarets: the Atlas and Darling. Every time I passed through the door, received pamphlets and offers. In my previous visit to Prague remembered nothing to submit to sex today, however, do not toil much in finding the marks of the city as capital of sex in Europe are in all the streets and avenues. There are "erotic supermarket" offering from recent successes of local porn to various combination of latex and cuerto, and no neighborhood that does not have the glittering neon lights typical of cabarets.

all starts with porn, from a couple of years Prague has become the European capital of porn, bypassing Budapest. To this can be several reasons: liberal laws for shooting pornographic films, low costs and a huge number of women into the mold established by industry (white-skinned blonde, ready to any kind of sexual experience). The films of European and American porn stars have several Czech, perhaps the best known is Silvia Saint.

The sex industry operates at full speed in Prague, and its relatively affordable prices for Europe, has become a central square of sex tourism: the Germans and the British make their own here. There are three forms of sexual solicitation: online, in private apartments ("privats") and cabarets. The Internet specializes in companions or "escorts" are listings where you can find more than nine hundred girls, with names like Marketa, Petra and Dana, and a description of its main features: their actions, if they speak English or German if they are willing or able to do this or that.

There are girls who work independently, but the vast majority belong to one agency "escorts." There are agencies that specialize in VIP models and porn stars and offer prices at the height of the main European capitals (three hundred euros for two hours), but the majority are students who do nothing but be "escorts" and their prices range between sixty and one hundred euros per hour, with many restrictions: there is no mouth kissing, fondling can not reach the sinuses, oral sex only with condoms, etc. As this is a business, anything that goes beyond basic sex can be achieved, but for this you have to pay (forty euros extra to kissing on the mouth, etc).

As for the "privats" and cabarets scattered throughout the city, they belong to a few entrepreneurs. When I visited the Darling, I found it rather than cabaret, a brothel, in the menu next to the price list of beers and drinks, was the price list of sexual encounters, they could go from twenty minutes to overnight. Total absence of rhetoric: the girls who approached me-Czech, Russian, Romanian, Moldovan, Slovakian, went straight to the point and asked if I wanted twenty minutes of sex. When I I was not interested, I was offered the opportunity to attend a private show among lesbians. Upon leaving, one of the bouncers came up to me to offer a card that would allow me free access to the Go-Go's, half a block. The Go-Go's belonged to the owner, who was not willing to lose customers and offered, in a display of inventiveness, the ability to go to another brothel, but in which charged half of what it charged the former.
