Drive-Thru Brothels

You might want to get comfortable for this one if you thought a drive-through strip club was a little intense. In some parts of Europe, the drive-thru brothel has developed into a company that combines the comfort of a drive-thru with, you know, the facilities of a brothel.

These voting booths from Zurich, Switzerland, which were installed in 2013 after 52% of voters indicated they wanted them, are not a Covid innovation. They have the appearance of car wash booths where you can either pull in and ask your companion to join you in the car or get out and use the wooden benches. The safety of the city's sex workers had significantly improved, according to data collected after a few years.

The idea behind this is that pretending that sex work doesn't exist helps no one, and that it is a reality. They chose a location where it could be done legally and safely. Customers visit the area of the city where the booths are situated, and a sex worker joins them there. In Cologne, Germany, the passenger door may open while the driver's door cannot, making it simpler for the employees to flee if necessary. Both on-site social workers and an emergency call button are available.
