Very cool explanation, Marlow!
[QUOTE=Marlow]Since the German's put prostitution on the level a couple of years ago (about) clubs have had to change their pricing structure to stay within the law. This was the case with Bernd's which if you noticed when it charged 80 euros kept 30euros for itself, handed the girl 50euros and made her sign for it. The law says you can't do that any longer as the girl is self-employed so taking a cut of her wages is tantamount to being an employer. No club can afford the costs of German employee laws! And no girl wants it anyway. Recently the govt started a withholding tax of I think around 25euros a day (but don't quote me on that) which each girl has to pay. The idea being to encourage girls to declare their earnings for tax in the proper manner. Raids are regularly carried out to check if the girls are registered for tax. FKK and sauna clubs seem by and large to stay within the law - the girl pays her daily 'rent' and her tax and the rest she keeps. In other 'establishments' I'm not sure how it works, only that I know the old system of keeping half the earnings remains in use. The owners of these houses argue that the 50% take is justified by the unreliability of the girls themselves. They say they'll stay for three months or more, but can disappear overnight, leaving the owner out of pocket for providing the rooms, laundry etc etc. Whereas FKK and sauna clubs charge the girls a flat rate rent, these other 'puffs' don't. So a girl in a 'puff' who has say a really good day with six clients at an hour each (really good!) earns 900euros of which she keeps half. To earn 450euros in a FKK club a girl must have nine clients and from that deduct her outgoings (rent and tax).
There you have, not that it matters a toss to us![/QUOTE]
This would explain why they made these changes to pricing then.
Babylon Christmas Party on the 7th

FKK-Privat-Club Babylon

Fazit: They are having their Christmas party on the 7th of December. The women will be dressed appropriately in Christmas outfits and they will have food and drink. Everything starts at 12:00 and at 20:00 they will have live music played by a folk music group which is well known at the Karneval in Koeln. They also announce that since the beginning of November, they are an entirely nude club now (Yes! They acted on my suggestion the last time. How cool is that?).
This club is accessible via a combination of train/bus/taxi as follows:
[quote=Babylon]Je te joins pour amis belges, luxembourgeois et autres, qui veulent venir en train, un petit guide pour arriver au club sans problèmes:
Si tu viens de Belgique, le plus facile est de prendre le train vers Cologne. Avant Cologne descendre à la station de HORREM.
Là bas appeler Taxi Janitz Tel. 02274/1717 ou bien 02271/64555.
En donnant le mot de passe "FKK-Club-Babylon" le trajet de 10 à 15 minutes au Club est pour 17 Euros (pix convenu avec le patron).
Si tu viens de Cologne, train direction Aachen, descendre à la station de Horrem ... et même procédure. Tu peux venir aussi avec la Strassenbahn vers Köln-Weiden, en face du Rheincenter prendre le Bus 961 vers Bergheim, ici aussi prendre un taxi Tel.02271/64555.
Nous sommes en train de négocier des prix d'hôtel à proximité du club.[/quote]
Fazit: If you are coming from Belgium, take the train in the direction of Koeln, get off at Horrem. Call Taxi Janitz (phone numbers above), give them the password "FKK Club Babylon" and within 10 to 15 minute you will be there for about 17 Euros. If you come from Koeln, take the train to Aachen, get off at Horrem and do the same thing. You can also take the streetcar in the direction of Koeln-Weiden and in front of the Rheincenter, take Bus 961 to Bergheim and then call a cab when you get there. They are in the process of negotiating with a hotel in the area so one can stay nearby.
I have also taken the train from Koeln Hbf to Bergheim Centreville.. sorry - Stadtmitte, and gotten off there.
Isabella - Best Working Girl in 5 years
I swung by Babylon again last night. I used to like this club years and years ago, and I still rop by once a year to see whether there are any hidden treasures.
I have to say I was at Schieferhof and Traumparadies on the same day, where my results were very mixed.
So I get to Elsdorf, an once again they had changed the pricing scheme.
It is 35€ entrance fee
The first half hour is an additional 75€ and each half hour after that is 55€. They keep the prize for the club with the stupidest and most confusing pricing system.
They also have a list up for all the extras, with CIM at 25€, CIM with swallowing at 50€, Anal at 50€ and some other things. I have it on very good authority that posting such a list puts the club management in a dangerous legal situation, but that isn't my problem.
The girls keep 40€ for each half hour, and the club gets the rest, the girl also keeps all of her extras money.
So I go there, and there are about 4 girls there. 3 were nothing to write home about, and then there was Isabella.
She is about 5'3" and slim with smallish perky breasts and a nice sporty butt. She has dark blonde long hair and in every way looks "natural". She is 21 and Polish, no tattoos, no long fingernails - just a very natural good looking girl.
Her german is decent, she also speaks a bit of english.
So we talked for a while, and she was a smart and nice girl...so I decided to take it to the room.
There we talked some more, and she kissed me in a way that I could really call a GFE. The girl doesn't smoke, so her tongue and breath are really nice and fresh. I rarely use the term GFE, but tis kissing was really really a lot like when you were 19 and some girl was really into you. It was something I haven't really seen in a working girl for quite a while.
I then went down on her, which she enjoyed, then she went down on me, wich again was a whole new world for working girls, and even included a bit of rimming.....it is no surprise she says that she has quite a few repeat customers who ask for her or make appointments.
the actual sex was out of this world again. She really really got into it, wrapping her legs around me, going along with my rhythm, fluidly changing positions.
The girl has CIM in her program, and Anal, and I decided I wanted to try anal again. She was amazing.
I haven't been this impressed with a working girl in years, she is definitely in my all time top 3, and that after only one encounter.
Bablon all in all has not improved, but this girl is worth heading to a club just for a chance with her.
I spent an hour with her with anal, which was 180€, and I swear I still consider it a bargain.
Call ahead to see if she is there, because she is a reason to visit the club....if she isn't there don't even bother.
