Prostitution in Germany

Prostitution is when a person exchanges sex with another person for money. In Germany, there are special places called brothels where people can go to pay for sex. It's legal for people to work as prostitutes in Germany, but they have to follow certain rules to make sure everyone is safe.

For example, prostitutes need to have regular check-ups with doctors to make sure they don't have any sexually transmitted infections (sometimes called "germs"). They also have to pay taxes on the money they make, just like other people who have jobs.

Even though prostitution is legal in Germany, it's not something that everyone thinks is okay. Some people think that it's wrong to buy or sell sex, and they might try to make it illegal again. But for now, people can choose to work as prostitutes if they want to, and people can choose to visit brothels if they want to pay for sex.
