The German city of Bonn introduced sex tax metres for street prostitutes with the objective of taxing the world’s oldest profession. Prostitutes in Bonn would now have to buy a ticket from converted roadside vending machines. Prostitution is legal in Bonn between 8.15 pm and 6 am.
A night’s ticket will set a sex worker back 5.30 pounds, irrespective of the number of clients they have. If a cop catches a sex worker without ticket, she will be fined or banned from working. The ticket machine is intended to bring street prostitutes into fiscal line with their peers in registered sex establishments.
