Preparation/price system
Das Preissystem in Saunaclubs In the red-light milieu and in "the oldest profession in the world" in general, the fast and easily earned money has always attracted the operators of establishments and the women who work there; those who cleverly promote themselves can quickly earn an above-average income in this sector. Pricing to customers, especially in the period before the FKK and sauna club boom, varied. Whereas in walk-in brothels an often minimalistic, disrespectful instant service was traditionally offered to punters at tendentially favorable entrance prices with far surcharge scale, luxuriant turnovers were generated in night clubs with Champagne consumptions. Rip-off was never far away, and it was not unusual to be taken in by someone. The resounding success of the FKK and sauna clubs can also be attributed to the fact that the leading clubs in particular implemented a transparent and fair system of mutual appreciation and pricing in their homes, which gave visitors a certain security about what they could expect for their money. Club visitors were not despised consumers, but esteemed guests; the service offered to them included a range of basic services that did not need to be negotiated separately. This pricing system has established itself in the club scene as the so-called "club standard".The club standard meant that the following services in particular were included as a matter of course for a certain price - i.e. within the framework of a so-called club entity (CE) - within a time fixed by the club:- girlfriend sex (GFE)- kissing, cuddling and French kisses (DFK)- bare back blowjobs (BBBJ)- cunnilingus (DATY)- sexual intercourse with or without a condom in different positions (BBFS)For further practices such as body insemination (COB), facial insemination (COF), cum in mouth (CIM), footjob (FJ), anal intercourse (A-level) or golden shower (WS) as well as prolongations of time, surcharges - additional CE - became then due, depending on agreement. Of course there was never a guarantee on the exemplary and complete execution of these services, but in many clubs one could reasonably rely on the club standard. With the introduction of the Prostitutes Protection Act (ProstSchG) on July 1, 2017, this club standard can no longer be officially enforced by clubs in Germany; on the one hand, sexual intercourse (including oral intercourse) without a condom between prostitutes and their customers has been prohibited since then; on the other hand, the law deprives club operators of any right to instruct women working in clubs with regard to their services. In German clubs, however, a club standard adapted to the new circumstances is regarded as a matter of honour on an informal level; in neighbouring countries the club standard remains untouched for the time being.
