A maximum of six persons can fit in the hot tub, the sign says. The tattooed bald guy and the blonde girl who occasionally sips from a cocktail are my new improvised friends. Not long before, she was lying on a red plastic mattress screaming Geil! A hour pass from 9am to 9 pm costs 70 euros 60 pounds and gives you access to all the women who are in the corner busily exchanging their partners, as well as to the sauna, jacuzzi, massages, showers, buffet, unlimited non-alcoholic drinks and spirits.
Being an Italian , I can only grasp this package as one of those super luxurious things our politicians do at prices with infinite zeros. However, Swingeroase Zwiespalt is here in Berlin, a hundred meters away from Hermannstrasse , the last stop on the U8 metro line, which is blue on the city map. Just join your right thumb with your left one to squeeze it all out. A million possible answers zip to mind. The U-Bahn 8 runs from the north of Berlin to the south, taking almost forty-five minutes to go from Wittenau to the end at Hermannstrasse.
From the central district of Mitte to the deep south - say about halfway down the line - the likelier you are of running into brothels and clubs of all kinds. I always say nothing. I knew instantly that sex was not a taboo in Berlin. The city is not as notorious as Amsterdam or other eastern European capitals, but you can find brothels dotted in between the main restaurants and shops on the tourist maps.
Having said that, nothing is evident from walking around in the streets — there are no flashing neon signs, only the prostitutes in Mitte who walk along the central Rosenthaler Strasse - Hackescher Markt - Oranienburger Strasse route. Wrapped in their skin suits, they look fresh out of the red light district in Sin City , determined to rip off the boots and corsets of any unwitting tourist that passes. Apart from these spectacles which are dictated by mass sexual consumerism, the rest of the offer is spread over the entire city.
Looking closely, there's a disproportionate number of them scattered throughout the city. Forget red-light districts and sex ghettos. Berlin is young and is unashamed of her exuberance.
