Dortmund, Germany- Dortmund is rushing to install a series of drive in wooden "sex garages" in time for next year's World Cup and an expected boom in the local sex trade a city official said.
The city is anxious to keep prostitutes and their clients off the streets by providing them with discreet places to do business.
Experts estimate as many as 40,000 prostitutes may travel to Germany to offer their services to fans during the tournament.
Dortmund plans to arrange the Dutch designed huts, which were introduced in Cologne, another World Cup venue, complete with condom machines and snack bar.
"Men have to get used to them of course, but a high percentage accept them because they can protect their anonymity." the official said. "That said there will always be those who want to go behind a bush, under a bridge or into the woods."
