Every time people mention European countries, people immediately see a quiet, peaceful, rich and leisurely good life, which explains why Eastern European countries welcome thousands of tourists every year, and even tourism has become the basis of their economies.
However, as one of the European countries, the Czech Republic may surprise those who don't know much about it. This seemingly peaceful country has turbulent storms brewing behind it.

According to surveys, seven out of every 100,000 Czechs have appeared in adult films, and the industry is unusually thriving in the country.
Why is there such a strange phenomenon in the Czech Republic, which has its beautiful scenery and leisurely life? Why is the industry so developed and sought after in the Czech Republic?
The status quo is not optimistic
Today's Czech Republic may be seen by others as a small European country of unknown origin, a dispensable member of the European Union. However, this seemingly ordinary country also had a unique and glorious history more than 1,000 years ago.
Map of the Austro-Hungarian Empire
The once famous Austro-Hungarian Empire that swept through Europe once terrified the entire West. However, due to the lack of overseas colonies, Austria-Hungary did not have enough land and resources to promote domestic production, resulting in extremely high inflation, countless unemployed people, and famine deaths every day.
Moreover, the upper echelons were not considerate of the peasants and other working masses, but instead vigorously increased exorbitant taxes and taxes and wantonly bullied the people, causing the people's resentment to boil over and the people's hearts to scatter.
Secondly, because Austria-Hungary is in fact a multi-ethnic country, although the number of people is large and can provide the country with thousands of troops, Austria-Hungary does not have the same language and script, and the relationship between various ethnic groups is not harmonious, which undoubtedly means that the domestic situation is not peaceful, and fights break out from time to time.

Finally, and the most fundamental reason, the perennial war of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at that time led to the fact that most factories in the country were fully engaged in the production of military supplies, and the production lines of people's livelihood supplies were simply insufficient.
This severely deformed economy caused Austria-Hungary to have a heavy financial burden, and even could not afford to pay salaries and supplies to the army, and Austria-Hungary's internal and external troubles could not be concealed.
Finally, due to a combination of factors, the once dominant giant state collapsed in 1918 and broke up into countless small countries, one of which was the Czech Republic.

The original Czech Republic was not poor or weak, and was even among the best countries in Europe at that time. It not only absorbed the military power of Austria-Hungary, but had enough troops to protect itself; Moreover, it also occupied the industrial areas of Austria-Hungary and received a large number of production lines for military supplies.
In that era of wars and chaotic situations, whoever could get military weapons occupied the absolute right to speak. At that time, the Czech Republic had provided a large number of weapons for the war, accounting for a staggering 30% of the world's total.
And it was in this way that the Czech Republic made a lot of money in that war-torn era and saved the country's precarious economic situation in time.

After the end of World War II, the Czech Republic chose to become an ally with the Soviet Union and began to vigorously develop heavy industry and manufacturing. Because the world situation was still unstable at that time, no one knew when the next war would ignite and whether it would affect him.
Therefore, at that time, hoarding military goods and building factories became an indispensable task for every country. And because the Czech Republic's production and military level is not low, and it can export a large number of military supplies to other countries every year, it once became the leader in Europe.
Not only did the Czech Republic build a large number of factories and industries abroad, it had a stable economy, but also with the export of a large number of heavy industry and military materials every year, the average Czech Republic was enough to earn nearly three billion US dollars in foreign exchange every year, which seems astronomical today, let alone at the time.

So why did such a powerful Czech Republic become where it is today? The first reason was because of the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union not only made the European and American countries led by the United States ecstatic, but also caused those Eastern European countries to suffer a lot of shock.
Especially for the Czech Republic, at that time, the Czech Republic had always been obsessed with the development of heavy industry and despised light industry, resulting in an extremely backward state in the production of civilian goods in the country. But at that time, with the Soviet Union's material and economic support, it was also safe and sound. However, the fall of the Soviet Union meant that the Czech economy could collapse.
Moreover, because of the close relationship with the Soviet Union, Western countries have always held a half-believing attitude towards the Czech Republic and are unwilling to provide production lines for others, resulting in the Czech Republic having to spend a lot of money to import civilian materials from other countries, and the economic trend continues to decline.

Secondly, because the world situation at that time was basically stable, the war would not start on the European continent, and countries stopped buying armaments from the Czech Republic, resulting in the loss of a major economic support for the Czech Republic.
Without foreign exchange earnings, the Czech Republic would naturally be even worse. Finally, it is because of technological backwardness. Taking the United States as an example, after World War II, the United States spent a lot of money to introduce a large number of talents in various fields from other countries, vigorously developed scientific strength, and hoped to make the war science and technology.
And it turns out that the choice of the United States is not wrong. The introduction of scientific power into the war not only allowed the United States to save a large amount of military spending, but also obtained more powerful weapons, the infrared night vision device we are familiar with is one of them, and it is this move of the United States that makes the war completely informationized.

At the same time, because the Czech Republic has not kept up with the times, its military strength is naturally relatively backward compared with the United States. And because of the lack of corresponding scientific talents, its weapons have not been modernized and improved, and they are still at the level of World War II.
It is impossible for other countries to inform other countries about such classified technology, so the Czech Republic has to spend a lot of money every year to buy military materials from other countries.
If you stop buying, you will not only show other countries that their economic power has declined, but also give other countries the idea that they can already be slaughtered by others.

In order not to be despised by other countries, and not to let itself lag behind Europe, even if it exhausts its financial resources, the Czech Republic has to grit its teeth and buy materials from other countries.
Because of this, the Czech economy has become increasingly sluggish in recent years. Moreover, in order to solve the immediate economic problems, the Czech Republic had no choice but to adopt a very bad method - transferring the production lines of local industries to other countries in exchange for the materials it needed.
It is precisely because of this way of drinking and quenching thirst, although the problem of economic crisis and lack of materials has been solved, but this has also led to the collapse of major domestic factories one after another, and even the famous domestic car brand Skoda has been transferred to Germany by the Czech Republic.

The Czech Republic, which lacks competitiveness and is not optimistic, has been completely reduced to a second-rate country in Europe, not to mention on a par with the United States, even in this small part of Central Europe.
According to statistics, the Czech Republic's per capita GDP is only one-third of Germany's, although it is not low in the world, but compared with the once world-famous industrial power, the Czech Republic is undoubtedly going downhill.
The Czech Republic, which once occupied the position of the world's main military industry, can only live on orders from other countries, but because the people have long adapted to the rich life in the past, the quality of life is naturally unbearable in the face of a continuously declining quality of life. In order to appease the discontent of the people, the Czech Republic had to do everything possible to restore the economy.

The solution to the sword going sideways
Once the Czech Republic was an extremely conservative country, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, in order to regain the protection of other countries, the Czech Republic chose to actively integrate into the West, which led to the spread of Western openness in the Czech Republic.
Perhaps because of the previous over-suppression, these open contents have gained great popularity in the Czech Republic. The Czech upper echelons were keenly aware of this phenomenon, and in order to promote domestic consumption and to increase new foreign exchange channels, the Czech upper echelons made an amazing decision - to vigorously develop the domestic sex industry.
Since then, the Czech industry has flourished. A variety of adult magazines began to be sold blatantly in newsagents, and people could buy the magazines they wanted from the newsagents without changing their faces.

According to statistics, the monthly sales of these magazines once reached a staggering half a million copies; In the Czech Republic, although the large cinemas are largely unaffected by the industry.
However, in various small cinemas, content that makes people blush began to appear, and after discovering the business opportunities, many people even began to set up private video halls, also known as "adult video booths".
People could swagger into these small shops to watch pornography, until later, these small shops even blossomed all over the Czech capital; Moreover, the Czech Republic has created an unprecedented industry - erotic calls.

For a fee, people can listen to blushing content on the phone, and although the experience is not as good as video, it is relatively cheap, so it is the first choice for many Czechs.
Moreover, the Czech Republic has even taken the initiative to encourage its own nationals to engage in the sex industry and has provided it with a huge fee for encouraging its development.
The once famous Czech athlete chose to devote himself to this profession after retiring; Even the soldiers who once defended their homes and the country chose to enter this industry to make money, which is enough to see the huge profits. But it is really embarrassing to see the women who once won glory for the country choose such a path.

Moreover, even women of higher social status choose to work in this industry, then the choice of ordinary people can be imagined. An average person's monthly income may be only a few thousand euros, but shooting an adult film can earn eight hundred euros.
Not to mention that in the event of an economic crisis, there are simply no extra jobs for people to work in, and many people have to do this job in order to make ends meet. According to the survey, seven out of every 100,000 Czechs have ever made pornographic films, which is a shocking figure for the Czech Republic, which has only 10 million citizens.
Moreover, the profits of this industry even led the daughters of Czech high-ranking officials to join the industry despite their mother's objections. There are even many people who take the initiative to shoot indecent content and put it online for charging in order to make money.

The Czech Republic does not impose any restrictions on this phenomenon, and even encourages it. In order to increase financial revenue, the relevant departments will also set up their own pornographic websites, and as long as they pay a few hundred euros, they can browse pornographic content at will, and even many upper-level people will watch this content in private.
The Czech sex industry is also "world-famous" in the world, the Czech Republic has the world's largest and third largest website, but also the world's most popular magazine for men - "Loft", and women engaged in the sex industry are also firmly in the world's top rankings.
There is no doubt that this industry earns billions of dollars in foreign exchange for the Czech Republic every year, enough to bring the Czech economy back to life.

However, behind this glamorous beauty is the blood and tears of the people. While some people voluntarily choose to join the industry, many more are forced to.
There are many industries that trick girls into thinking they are doing legitimate work, and when they step into a company, they force them to shoot, and leave photos to coerce girls to continue working for them.
There are even unscrupulous companies that lure underage girls into making these films in order to satisfy certain people with bad character and their bad needs. Even some poor families will take the initiative to contact these companies and "sell" their daughters to them in exchange for huge compensation fees.

This confusion in the Czech Republic is ostensibly due to long-suppressed people who desperately need a way to vent. The essential reason, in the final analysis, is that the Czech economy has declined in national strength.
And the top made a terrible decision, which plunged their own people into a vicious circle: because they were poor, they would join the sex industry. After getting the money, because of the lack of jobs, I can only do the previous job.
To solve its fundamental economic problems, the Czech Republic should choose a sunnier and safer path, rather than rushing to achieve results.

Although traditional development methods take more time, people's quality of life cannot improve quickly. This is also the most stable way, which at least ensures that the domestic economy will gradually recover after the initial growth period, which is undoubtedly a way to accumulate.
Moreover, citizens can choose the life they want with dignity and freedom, rather than being caught up in domestic customs and forcing themselves to follow the flow. An approach that focuses only on immediate interests will not work, and only by focusing on the future can we go further and better.
