The love and lust column.....Ask him anything? I love it!

This lady wants to introduce kink into the bedroom with her uh rather conservative boyfriend and the guy says this:

'Well, first off...stop talking about it. He may have no experience with 'kink' and so, just bringing up the idea conjures up terrifying images of, whips...dildo's...and barnyard animals....'

LOL! Where the hell did the barnyard animals come in?

(personally I hate guys like this though....they won't do anything kinky with the girlfriend cause they want to marry a nun or mom..so they cheat with sluts that do it all)

Just no.

GERMAN EROTICA

The Land of Beer, Sausage and Sex Shops

Shopping in Germany is a pleasure. Souvenirs are plentiful and there are sex shops in every city, town and village. But be sure and leave your prudishness at home.

Super size it at the Beate Uhse sex shop.

Shopping in Germany along the pleasant Marktplatz -- market square -- is always such a pleasure. There is the butcher where I can buy some of that famous and delicious German sausage. There's the drinks shop where I can buy some of that famous and delicious German beer. I can always find a shop full of gifts for my mother with a toy shop not far away full of presents my young nephew would be delighted to receive.

And -- should the need arise -- there is a shop right next door where I can buy massive dildos, latex masks, and a wide selection of explicit pornography.

Sex shops seem to be all over Germany -- and in the most mundane of places. In malls, on shopping streets, and even in the Frankfurt International Airport where the first site greeting international visitors once they clear customs are giant vibrators and cock-rings on prominent display in the window of a sex shop. And they say Germans don't know how to have a good time!

For Americans, of course, sex shops are the "dirty" stores that are located on the bad-side of town. It's a place you might go if you have any money left over after buying crack cocaine from the neighborhood drug dealer and are looking for some good old American porno. Here in Germany, it's a little different. Here, if you have any money left over from buying grandma a Hümmel figurine for her birthday, you may consider going to the shop next door for some good old German porno. In America, the sex shops are called "Adult Book Stores" and there are no outer displays of the shop's wares. Here, though, sex shops are no exception to the window shopping extravaganza that is Germany. You can pick your perverted pleasure without every leaving the safety of the sidewalk.

DDPSPIEGEL ONLINE is putting together a cheat sheet for visitors to this summer's World Cup soccer championships to help them better understand the quirky Germans and their sometimes peculiar ways. If you're an expat or someone who has spent time in Germany, we want your help. Please send your stories and questions to spon_feedback@spiegel.de or post your anecdotes on our Germany Survival Bible forum.

Please include your name and your city and country of residence. In Germany sex shops are simply no big deal. They can be anywhere and nobody cares. Indeed, it's not unusual for Germans to use sex shops as points of references when giving instructions. "You are looking for the book store? It's right across from the store selling 30 centimeter long, battery operated vibrators; you can't miss it." Quite a shock for someone from the United States, where, if a sex shop is located within an hour's drive of a respectable institution -- such as a school or a church -- you can be sure that some prude will be keeping tabs on everyone unprincipled enough to wander inside.

If there is one thing lacking in the sex shop culture in family friendly Germany, it's the rather conservative opening hours. They tend to follow traditional opening times. Need a leather paddle and spiked collar fix after church on Sunday? Unless you're in a larger city, forget about it. In smaller towns, you'll have to wait until Monday.

SIN CITY

Madame Angie and the Prostitution World Cup

With all the negative coverage, one could be forgiven for thinking that Germany is a country of human-trafficking pimps and shackled prostitutes. They do exist and one shouldn't talk the problem down. But since 2002 the country has also had legalized prostitution -- a world that is closely monitored by the government and where women pay taxes and receive benefits and regular health checks.

DPA

Germany's sex workers are ready for the World Cup. The government is making sure the johns are too.

Pick up an American or British newspaper these days and it seems like the World Cup isn't a football tournament at all. "Scandal of Cup Hookers," screams the headline in one British paper. "Dortmund Aims for Whore and Peace in Plans for World Cup," reads another. "United States Lawmakers Push Germany on World Cup Sex Trade," claims an American paper. You could be forgiven for thinking that visitors looking to watch a bit of soccer will be greeted by an army of skimpily clad, under-aged Ukrainian sex slaves -- sent by Madame Angie herself -- upon arrival in the country.

A quick Google search highlights the international interest in Germany's sex industry. Plug in Artemis, Berlin's new mega-brothel located just a stone's throw from the city's World Cup venue, and you'll find more than 10 pages of links. Along with feature after salacious feature about how German cities are expanding existing red light districts or erecting new ones to handle the influx of horny fans coming to Germany for football and fornication.

But even before you hit the third paragraph, the articles have unleashed the moral sledgehammer admonishing readers about the immorality of prostitution. Fully licensed brothels are discussed in the same breathless paragraph with grim estimates by human rights organizations that between 40,000 and 60,000 young women from Eastern Europe may be trafficked into Germany where they will be forced to work as sex slaves. If you're going to write about prostitution, the rule seems to go, than it had better be negative.

Forced prostitution, of course, is a very real and serious problem in Germany. But much of the foreign coverage seems to deliberately conflate the two issues.

Prostition has long been legal in Germany, but the social and legal rights of prostitutes were cemented in a 2002 law that brought the profession out of the margins and into the mainstream. Legal ladies of the night here work in licensed brothels, they have work permits, they receive regular health check-ups and they pay taxes and receive benefits. Some do in fact work in sleazy places, like the infamous bordello along the train tracks coming in to the main station in Dusseldorf where prostitutes greet delighted passengers from numbered windows. But then, the world's oldest profession has always been a bit tawdry.

Of course, there is the illegal side -- undocumented women and men who have been trafficked in from Eastern Europe, Asia or elsewhere. It's a problem that should in no way be argued away or glossed over. But the reality is that Germans here are fully aware of the problem -- so much so that former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer was nearly driven out of office in a human-trafficking scandal. After the country loosened its visa regulations for Eastern European countries in 2000, applications from Ukraine alone more than doubled. Flooded with applications, Fischer ordered embassies and consulates to rule in favor of Eastern Europeans if there were any doubts about whether a visa could be issued. It was a loophole that suddenly meant tens of thousands of Eastern Europe prostitutes could come to Germany on tourist visas and their pimps or traffickers on "business" trips -- and it was a ruling that led one German politician to call Fischer a "pimp." The Federal Criminal Office estimates that there are 140,000 forced prostitutes in Germany.

Please include your name and your city and country of residence. It's an issue that criminal investigators, the government and even non-government organizations are working hard to eliminate. In the run-up to the World Cup, there has even been a national soccer-themed campaign: "Red Card to Forced Prostitution." The head of the German Football Federation also heads a program called "Final Whistle -- Stop Forced Prostitution," that was launched in March.

Both of these programs seek to raise awareness among World Cup visitors about the problem of forced prostitution and what can be done to stop it. The Final Whistle program materials say it "is not opposed to legal prostitution. In fact, existing rights for prostitutes need to be expanded in order to improve working conditions to ensure that services are voluntary and independent, and to combat social stigma."

In March, another program was launched called " Responsible Johns," with a Web site offering tips for how you can determine if a prostitute is on the books or not as well as how you can help a person if you think they are a victim of human trafficking. There's even a telephone hotline for quick help.

But at the end of the day, the vast majority of the country's sex workers -- 400,000 of them -- are legal. And when the World Cup begins, they'll be in the well-regulated brothels and in mobile huts stationed near football stadiums waiting for customers. Visiting them isn't a sin. And the German economy could use the boost.
