Johns’ Stories

Wolfgang, 43 years old, from Frankfurt
“If I had known earlier what forced prostitution was and if I had been informed how to recognise it, I could have paid more attention to it and would not have insisted on sex. I feel sorry now. It could have been that I was with a forced prostitute without knowing it.”

Sven, 28 years old, from Offenbach
“It is very difficult to tell if the woman works voluntarily or not at first sight. Most of them never show it right away. There are clues, like poor German language, an extreme shyness, let’s say, towards certain sexual inclinations. (…)
“24 hours a day, seven days a week - no German or legal person can manage that. I guess, looking back, that could have been a sign. (…)
“Those who don’t want to see, won’t see anything. (…)
“And that’s really the point that people should be aware of - a deal is only good when both sides benefit from it. (…)
“Maybe the brothels need some kind of certification that shows they’re serious, that everything is ok there, no forced prostitutes, good hygiene, etc.”

Yilmaz, 31 years old, from Darmstadt
“If I don’t ask the woman then I won’t know anything about it. You have to be interested to know.”

Matthias, 44 years old, from Frankfurt
“Well yeah, there are the tough guys, they don’t care about anything. You can’t reach them. Then there are the others, more sensitive, they would worry about it anyway. Then the rest lies in between - the Joe Bloggs, who aren’t really up to any mischief, they make up the biggest group. That’s where this information could be more important.”

Giovanni, 48 years old, from Frankfurt
“Way back, before I knew anything about it, I didn’t look what was hidden under the carpet. I wasn’t bothered by it at all. I was on my way and I wanted to live life, and that was all that counted.”
