On July 1, 2017, the Prostitute Protection Act came into force in Germany. The compliance with the associated, extensive requirements are realistically not verifiable in JOYclub. These include, for example, the regular registration and consultation obligations for prostitutes or party concepts with prostitution offers that require approval. We also do not want to offer a platform to a "shadow market" that may arise as a result of the strict requirements of the law. Therefore, we take the law as an opportunity not to offer paid sexual services in our community.
Who does the law affect?
Paid sexual services cannot be offered in JOYclub. It does not matter whether it is call girls or (untouchable) dominas. The decisive factor is the flow of money (financial interest).
Classical wellness offers without sexual services, further education and workshops are excluded from the regulations.
Especially these kinds of sexual services may not be offered:
- Escort services (hostesses)
- Purchased love
- Pocket money
- Dominatrix
- Erotic massages
Online services and their promotion:
- Paid accounts like OnlyFans, Bestfans
- Sale of pictures and videos
- Sale of worn lingerie (panties, socks, etc.)
Exception: Tantra
We see Tantra as fitting to our core offer due to its lifestyle character. The profiles concerned are themselves required to ensure compliance with the regulations of the Prostitute Protection Act. If irregularities are discovered in this regard, we reserve the right to exclude the profiles.
Which regulations apply in the event area?
The prohibition to offer or advertise sexual services in JOYclub also applies to events of any kind. The profile type (regardless of whether private or corporate) is just as irrelevant as the place where the application is made (calendar, bulletin board, profile, etc.).
Among other things, we regularly assume a sexual service if individual guests are advertised as part of the event offer.
In cases of doubt, we reserve the right to decide on the basis of our terms of use whether a release can be made.
