One bordello, hoping to stave off falling demand in the economic crisis, has begun offering discounts to customers who pedal bicycles to the door.
“It’s very difficult to find parking around here, and this option is better for our environment,” said Thomas Goetz, who owns the brothel Maison d’Envie, or House of Desire.
Local residents in Prenzlauer Berg — a part of former East Berlin now home to scores of trendy boutiques, restaurants and clubs — had staunchly supported the Green party in recent elections and have welcomed the bordello’s offer to emphasize the environment.
Other planet saving initiatives by the bordello include:
1. Washing and reusing condoms
2. Attaching small, hydroelectric generators that run off a stream of urine during Golden Showers
3. Employing ugly prostitutes so patrons will prefer to have sex with the lights off
4. Offering “whore pooling” so that one prostitute won’t be inefficiently squandered by only one patron at a time
5. Re-purposing old food oil and fuel oil as lubricant
6. Capturing the sweat off of their clients heaving bodies for use in watering hydroponic soy bean gardens
7. Simply removing the bicycle seats and every other cobblestone in their courtyard for their gay clientelle
8. Shearing the German hookers once a quarter and using all of that excess hair as home insulation (thereby reducing their heating costs by half!)
9. Herbal chlamydia wraps
And finally…
10. Using only one square of toilet paper after scat play.
