Anyone know what's up with the stroll?

Not that the Victoria outdoor stroll has much to do with Sweet VIP, but anyone know what's going on out there? Word from police and service providers is that the number of workers is way down on strolls along Rock Bay and Government up by Discovery, but nobody knows whether that means a new stroll is developing somewhere else or if there's a new way of doing business that isn't so reliant on an outdoor stroll.

If you know something about this, post some info and we'll be sure to pass it along to the people who provide support to outdoor sex workers - PEERS, Sandy Merriman House, VARCS.

Sex Meters in Germany

Ah, those Germans. Stymied in their recent attempts to collect tax revenue from sex workers, they've now installed meters in Bonn to collect money from street sex workers.

The idea is that the workers will pay six euros a night for a permit to work the streets. Sex workers aren't too happy about it, though - they're OK with sex work being taxed (it's been legal in Germany since 2002), but they don't like an approach that singles out sex work from all other kinds of work for a special tax.
