FKK=pooner's paradise
Is the general mood laid back or are the girls a little on the pushy side say like our local strip clubs ?
Every hobbiest should try a German FKK experience once in their lifetime. The country has very liberal attitudes towards sex and none of the hangups and inconsistent policies of North American countries. The result is that these perfectly legal and above the board FKK clubs flourish all over Germany and provide a nearly ideal environment for casual sex that allows the guys to check out, interact and chat with the girls before taking the plunge and provides the girls complete safety and security. They're essentially brothels but they often promote the shower, sauna and spa side of things so that the whole experience comes across as a bit more wholesome than your conventional bordello image. German health care is free as well so having the girls get regular checkups is paramount at these clubs.
The atmosphere at almost all of them is a little like a cross between a spa and a conventional North American strip club. There's always a locker room and usually a separate safety deposit box outside the locker and shower area for your wallet. The main room is a lounge, usually with a bar, couches and a stage where the ladies can put on a bit of a show from time to time. You can buy drinks at the bar and non-alcoholic ones are sometimes provided free. You usually keep a tab which is settled up at the end of the evening. Showers are in the locker area. Saunas, a whirlpool, therapeutic treatment rooms and a gym can be part of the package.
The women lounge around the club or wander around chatting up the guys. They're close to naked, wearing little more than a sarong or a pair of thigh-high boots. The clubs usually have a policy that the girls have to wait to be approached by the men to prevent girls from hustling too aggressively. Larger clubs tend to be a little lax with this policy.
The women are more often than not Eastern European. There's an influx of Hungarian, Czech, Polish and Russian girls at German clubs and relatively few actual German girls. If you're like me though Eastern European girls set off some pretty serious porn fantasies. The bigger clubs in major centres like Frankfurt, Cologne and Berlin will have an almost limitless selection of international beauties. I've boned Thai girls, Chinese girls, Caribbean girls, Turkish ladies, Brazilians, Romanians, Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Czechs, Lithuanians, even a Mongolian at the bigger ones. The lingua Franca is German but you really only need a smattering to get by. German is a second language for most of the girls so they're pretty forgiving about your mangled syntax. English is widely spoken at the bigger clubs. Besides it's fun to talk dirty in German and come up with doozies like "My fireman is having hot. Please to be blasting my cod."
The bedrooms are usually on a separate level and are kitted out like tacky hotel rooms with large round leather beds, shag carpet and colored lighting. When you've indicated you're ready to go your girl will book a room in half hour intervals with the club receptionist. The fee for your half hour session with the lady is usually 50 Euros (or $66 Canadian) all inclusive, 60 Euros at some clubs. This is of course after you've paid a door fee to get in the club which can range anywhere between 10 Euros ($14 Canadian) and 75 Euros ($100 Canadian). PSE items like CIM and Greek are sometimes on offer but are usually an extra 50 Euros. The girl usually accompanies you down to your locker afterwards and you settle with her directly. If you see two or three girls in an evening you'll almost certainly be spending way less than if you had three half hour sessions at a local incall.
These clubs are all over Germany but because the south of Germany is Catholic and the North is traditionally Protestant the clubs have taken off more in the north. Munich is not a particularly good area for clubbing but the Rhineland from Frankfurt up to Dusseldorf and over to the border with the Netherlands is fantastic. Because it's the hub for all business travel Frankfurt has many of the biggest and best known clubs but these are also the most expensive ones and the ones where some of the girls are known to be a bit predatory.
Cologne and Dusseldorf are great tourist spots and great FKK cities to boot. The industrial cities north and west of there like Munchengladbach, Krefeld and Duisburg are supposed to have some of the best clubs of all. None of these are cities you're likely to visit as a tourist though. Hamburg has a reputation as a sin city but much of its sex scene is a tourist ripoff much like Amsterdam. Berlin is a latecomer to the FKK scene but the Artemis Club there is probably the best one I've ever been to although also the most expensive. The Black Forest area around Stuttgart is surprisingly good but the clubs tend to be small and intimate and it's hard to get by without German.
Many FKK clubs are right in the heart of the city and easily reached by public transit. Some of the mega clubs around Frankfurt and in the northwest are out in the sticks and you'll need to rent a car or take a cab to get to them. Never bothered with these myself.
The best clubs I've been to:
The Palace, central Frankfurt:
www.the-palace.de
The epitome of the mega club experience. Huge lounge area with whirlpool, saunas, buffet and the option of barely private pooning enclosures right in the main floor area. Dozens of women available. Expensive and some women can be predatory. You have to have your radar primed. Don't go with the first one to chat with you and avoid the ones that push to go to the room immediately. Generally I relax for 45 minutes chatting up a few girls and indicating I'm in no hurry to head to the room. I usually opt for one of the girls who isn't put off by my leisurely pace.
Artemis, downtown Berlin:
www.fkk-artemis.de/en/
Fantastic. Would be a great spa in its own right with conventional and aromatic saunas, weight room, suntan booths, whirlpool and lounges on two levels. Huge selection of international beauties. Expensive by German standards but slightly less predatory than the Palace. Use the same caution.
FKK Samya, Cologne:
www.samya.de
Pleasant mid-sized club in an industrial park accessible by public transit. Relaxed. Good selection of ladies.
FKK Duesseldorf/Dolce Vita, south central Dusseldorf:
www.fkk-duesseldorf.de/?job=home&language=english
Very stylish mid sized club easily accessible by regional train. Economical and wide selection of ladies. Had some of my best experiences here.
FKK Planet, Pforzheim (40 minutes from Stuttgart):
www.fkk-planet.com
Small and incredibly economical club with a good selection of ladies for its size. Not easily accessible: train from Stuttgart and a cab ride or long walk but at roughly $75 a pop who's complaining?
