We read an interesting story in Watson about a retired man named Bernhard who visits sex workers in Zurich. His wife passed away years ago.
In the article, he told us his story and opinion about the banning of the current prostitution scene in the country.
He still needs sex but doesn’t want a serious relationship anymore
Bernhard shared with us that he still has sexual desires but doesn’t want a serious relationship anymore. Instead, he goes to Zurich’s red-light area about once a week. But for him, it’s not just about sex. He’s become friends with some workers, talking about their lives and even going to their birthday parties.
Bernhard knows that many sex workers don’t have better options. Some send money to families back home. Others might be forced into the work. He always chooses sex workers who seem to be there by their choice and avoids the women who are younger than 30 years.
He also told the reporter that after his wife’s death, he fell into depression. He could not even answer his door and did not want to meet other people. But his therapist suggested him a treatment that might seem surprising at first glance. She advised him to visit sex workers, where the women could help him feel less alone.
Currently, Bernhard visits the sex workers once a week. Since he is in his 60s, he has some limits in his sexual life, but the women totally understand this. He pays 150 francs per hour and lets the women decide how they should spend the time together.
