Berlin

[Member #4658]

Reading about the good fortunes of our good neighbors will help us make good decisions in Berlin.

Somehow, I thought you lived near Montreal, Canada? Did not realize you might be one of us, living in Berlin?

Ja, das stimmt.

Yes, that is true. Reading about the good fortunes of our good neighbors will help us make good decisions in Berlin.

The article says something like a working girl and 13 of her clients infected each other In France. Then the clients went home and infected their families or flatmates. So if someone is really going to open a massage parlor in Berlin, how would they do it? The idea of opening seems unrealistic According to the article. The article even talks about monetary fines.https://m.lematin.ch/articles/31932243

Well it seems if Berliner wants to open, they would of course first read Suisse Romand newspapers. Every government office in Berlin has a subscription. This has been the way here since the time of Frederich II. His palace Sanssouci (which is French for "no worries") is evidence of this.

Check out the article linked at the end of this post. The article says something like a working girl and 13 of her clients infected each other In France.

WOW! What a telling statement this is, translated into English: "Politicians remain true to their line and make no concrete statements". I rest my case...

Most def. Whenever I want to hear some cutting edge, wise political philosophy to guide future actions, and sort out complex social, economic, and political tradeoffs and choices, I go to Berlin brothel webpages.

Bored, I looked at some bordello websites yesterday. And really to my shock, this popped up at Prestige: https://www.salon-prestige-berlin.de/kopie-von-preise You can easily translate this if you cannot read DE.

They somehow are planning on a restricted limited opening 25 May. No idea what it really means, and how they can actually do it, as all the regulations are still very much in force. I certainly will not partake as any way that might legally work will be way too restrictive, and any other way is way too risky both health and legal wise.

But if any locals have some insight into this, I am curious.

Taiwan announced a ban on the export of surgical masks in January as the novel virus broke out in the country, and the ban was later extended through the end of June. An ID-based mask rationing system was implemented in February to ensure fair distribution and prevent price gouging.

As Taiwan ramps up its production of surgical masks, the rationing system will be relaxed, but IDs are still required to purchase masks, said Chen. He added that restrictions on the acquisition and export of the item may be partially removed in the event of a mask glut a decision to be made by the Ministry of Finance.

New rules are expected to be introduced in the coming weeks. Currently, Taiwanese citizens are allowed to purchase nine surgical masks every two weeks and permitted to ship 30 masks every two months to their relatives overseas.

Taiwan has boosted its mask manufacturing capacity to up to 19 million units a day. Demand for Taiwan-made masks has soared globally as Chinese masks have failed to meet standards, unleashing a wave of complaints.

Fantastic news. Here is another question (a lot of) people are asking in Berlin: what is the best supermarket in Ulan Bator?

The new website is still work in progress.

Since a few days, the search window now offers more fine-grained detailed searches. But having this does not really change things; in many cases the pictures seem just place-holders as no phone number, or "for the moment not active" is the result. Still odd there is no impressum, and I guess part of the idea is just to get some small revenue from clicks.

Piefke, thanks for the info (and the rest), however depressing. As you say, the risks to health and legal fees still quite high. This is kind of a critical moment here, where all the numbers are trending down as they should, but when people will stop taking precautions. Been a big change since restaurants and cafes are open since last weekend, even if in a limited fashion. I was curious and called around and have a feeling massage places are a little flexible, but again just not worth it. Even with regular customers, it is just still way too risky. Berlin has to walk a fine line between keeping the virus under control, keeping the culture tourist sector somewhat active, and keeping its free-wheeling spirit alive. I cannot help think that as sex is really such a big part of life here, some of the increasingly large demonstrations against restrictions and fueled by such gaga conspiracy theories would be less if people were drinking and having a lot more sex. Who knows.

There is very crude single name search window, and sort of a contact number and email address. But agree it is not as it should be. I thought posting the impressum was a legal requirement? Clearly a work in progress.

Thank you, you fine gentle man. The pleasure is mine.

How about we all put an end to the jabs, hits below the belt, and know it all comments.

Could we focus on solving the problem and making sure everyone is happy?

How about starting a new thread where only informative valuable posts are allowed?

Besides new information, people could link to other informative posts in other threads, and also remind members that posts with more general conversation topics belong in another thread.

If you can improve this idea, you Could also make some suggestions right here right now.

Actually, Just had a look around, this has already been done. Here is the official link to the Germany links to reports of distinction: http://www.internationalsexguide.nl/forum/showthread.php?2067-Links-to-Reports-of-Distinction

I looked through the rules and I couldn't find ...
By the way I went through Freud ages ago.

What a pleasure, to see a law obeying member of the public, who looks for laws, rules and follows only direct orders. He even can read and write. What a pity, that he is just lacking common sense!

BTW. Freud. Reading it and achieving certain stages of human development is a different thing.

I looked through the rules and I couldn't find a only make relevant super informative posts. However, I am busy working so maybe I just didn't find the rule.

If The people who created this forum are happy to have members telling other members not to post unless they have vital information, then the moderators should make that clear to everyone.

Generally speaking forum websites need users to make a lot of posts in order for the community prosper so telling other members to take their post elsewhere. Is that wise?Since you insist on telling people to shut up you going to need the backing of the rules or at least a moderator telling everyone your opinion is correct.

Telling people to move on, spare us the details, I don't mind if you take your post elsewhere, not here, Try the lounge, go to another thread, your post violate social distancing, this has been going on for many posts and is just plain rude and unacceptable unless your commands can be enforced by the rules.

Anyhow, the other day I ran across an article quoting a German politician saying the party closed indefinitely or at least for a very long time. So at least this little bit formation really is important.

By the way I went through Freud ages ago.

No, I am just a reader in search for relevant information.

And in my opinion, the last 'contributions' of Frank11 and BodyAnybody did not contain anything remotely relevant about mongering in Berlin. It just pollutes this thread.

As I see you are still talking about body fluids I assume you did not yet reached the Anal Stage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anal_stage). So if you reach that stage in your childish development (in 2-3 years maybe) I just beg you: Spare us the details and move on! Much appreciated.

I am just reading only in the moment and cannot tell from own experiences. And I can just observe:

Most of the Thai massage parlors have opened. With strict orientation on massage, desinfection, masks and some even noting of contact adresses. Still good as wellness experience, when meeting the right woman.

I see no opening of the russian and german based "erotic massage" parlors. However, there might behind the scene work still on offer.

And the public opinion in the german forums says, that no relaxation can be expected before Winter. When there are still holiday travel restrictions, you will not see open brothels.

There might be some travelling working girls trapped by the border shutdown: see anonymescort (now https://www.berlinerlust.de) and some offerings on Omello. The tale is there, that a long running business of rotating girls in appartments (with no rotation since March) was busted by the cops last week (search: Anita, Eleonor, Maria) - in connection with some extrem violence by a guest of Anita. But it might be fairytales. However, current health issues aside, I do not want to receive a penalty order by the Reichsgesundheitsamt of 250-5000 E.
