At night, the famous town of Cheb, famous in Europe, is filled with suggestive neon lights, and behind the windows are not beautiful gifts, but women scratching their heads.
This is the Czech Republic, a country that coexists with hormones.
When this crazy cinematic scene comes to life, desire and indulgence become the main themes of the Czech Republic.
In the Czech Republic, sex is both life and work for most women in this profession.
As one of the largest tourist countries in Europe, the Czech Republic attracts tourists not only for its beautiful scenery, but also because it is a paradise for desire.
Located in central Europe, the Czech Republic has a land area of less than 80,000 square kilometers and a total population of about 10 million as of 2021. Since joining NATO and the European Union, it took only six years to be included in the ranks of developed countries.
What is surprising is that as a developed capitalist country, the Czech Republic's "special industries" have accounted for one-fifth of its gross national product for many years. One in every 10,000 Czechs has ever been involved in an adult film.
This kind of behavior, which is explicitly banned in China, has become a popular industry in the Czech Republic, and most women do not take it seriously, and even become obsessed with this feeling of "quick money".
So how did historic Czech Republic come to this point?
This is a crazy and unforbidable "industry"
The Czech Republic borders Germany to the west, and the town of Cheb sits on the border between the two countries.
Generally speaking, such a border town rarely has a prosperous side, but this is an exception, and when night falls, it is the most "lively" time of the day.
Basically, from five o'clock in the afternoon, the call girls in Cheb Town have entered the "working state" one after another, and the streets are lined with a large number of flashing neon storefronts, and each store will stand in front of a different number of young girls, deliberately wearing thin and cool clothes, they will constantly tease every passing tourist.
If you happen to pass by here, you will see a pair of men and women who "made a deal" walk into the store one after another, and what happens then is self-evident.
You may ask, doesn't the state care?
Yes, sex trafficking is legal in the Czech Republic, and not only can you find these services in certain red-light districts, but at least half of the ten women you meet walking down two streets in this town are in the industry.
The 18th World Cup in 2006 was held in Germany, and as the top sports event, it brought a large wave of traffic. According to incomplete statistics, more than five million tourists came to Germany from all over the world that year, but the strangest thing is that the most popular place on the day of the event is the stadium and the surrounding area, and after the event, the most popular place is the town of Cheb, which borders Germany.
A large number of tourists have crossed the border to the town, and the popularity once caused congestion at the border checkpoint, and finally the official had to cancel the checkpoint. This is nothing, Cheb Town actually put up a huge billboard on the necessary road.
"There are beautiful women ahead, please slow down and walk slowly."
There is not much difference between men and women in the Czech Republic, with more than 70,000 women registered in special professions and more than 10,000 in Cheb town alone, and this is only offline, and online the Czech Republic is the owner of the world's largest illegal website company.
Seven of the top 20 most popular actors on one site are from the Czech Republic, not only women, but the men featured in these films include veterans, secondary school teachers and even police officers, and many adult film and television companies are headquartered in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.
Industry insiders estimate that the annual revenue of adult content provided online in the Czech Republic is more than a billion dollars, and this figure came from 2002.
With its continuous development, the industry has become so pervasive that even Czech politicians are associated with it. For example, in 2017, Czech President Zeman's personal computer found some adult videos, but the official version was hacked, and former Czech senator Hirsjö once talked about his favorite actors and genres in front of the media.
The daughter of Zenisco, who was the deputy mayor of Liberec, ignored the persuasion of her family and went directly to the sea, becoming an actress and creating her own clothing brand.
Since 1999, the largest commercial television station in the Czech Republic has also launched "Naked Weather Girls", which is called to stimulate the ratings of evening shows. The show airs every night at 10:30, and every day a is arranged to enter the camera and dance in the middle two minutes according to the weather forecast for the next day, so that the ratings skyrocket.
Many advertisers invested and TV stations ran auditions for, but the official government eventually banned them because they thought it would cause discomfort to the healthy development of minors.
But speaking of which, the Czech minors are far crazier than everyone thinks.
"Condoms should be treated realistically, I don't want to get sick, but I don't want to get someone pregnant either."
It is hard to imagine that this phrase came from a 15-year-old boy in a school in the northern part of the Czech Republic, where sex education for teenagers is completely ignored by the state. First, because of the shackles of traditional thinking, many teachers cannot open their faces in the classroom to talk about this knowledge. The second is that sex was not so open in the Czech Republic in the 90s.
Ironically, according to a survey by Durex, the world's largest condom manufacturer, the Czech Republic has the highest incidence of sex among European countries, and although Czechs are ashamed to talk about it, they show it in practice.
If the topic of sex in Czech society was so closed in the 90s of the 20th century, why has this trend been completely unstoppable in just over the past ten years? So that it ended up being a powerhouse?
The top and bottom layers are closely related
There are three reasons for this, the first of which has to do with national politics.
For a long time, the most popular international evaluation of Czechs is "a people with low self-esteem and pride".
In fact, it is very inappropriate to call it a nation, and historically the Czech Republic is the homeland of Germans, Austrians, Hungarians, Poles and Czechs. It can be said that the historical Czech Republic is a hodgepodge of European races.
After the end of the British "Brexit" drama in 2020, rumors about the Czech "Brexit" also began to flow undercurrent, speaking of Brexit is excusable, but the Czech Republic, as one of the earliest countries to return to Europe, or a more profitable country, why did it also follow Brexit?
As early as 2003, before the Czech Republic was about to join the European Union, the then Czech President Klaus publicly stated in front of the media: "Today if you do not become part of the EU, you cannot live in Europe, this is based on reason, not out of love." ”
This sentence fully shows that the Czech Republic was forced to join the European Union, and the reason why it is said is also because the Czech Republic has been punished by major powers and organizations too many times in its history.
The Czechs belong to a branch of the West Slavs and are heavily influenced by Germany because of their proximity to Germany.
Although the Czech Republic was called the "Kingdom of Bohemia" by Germany, the ruling class was almost exclusively German, so in history, Germany continued to squeeze the Czech Republic and loot Czech wealth to fill the war expenses. This also led the Czechs to be very cautious about foreign presidents, in other words, to be bullied and fearful.
Later, taking advantage of the defeat of Austria-Hungary, the Czechs seized the opportunity to finally get rid of the control of the Germans, and by the way, a large number of industrial bases and arsenals, the Czech Republic suddenly became a rare industrial power in the world, and the Czech brand machine guns were sold well all over the world.
Fearing German reprisals, the Czechs sought refuge in the Anglo-French-led alliance.
As a result, Britain and France joined forces to sell the Czech Republic in 1938, and the German power at this time was Hitler, and it fell into German hands again, and the fate of the Czech Republic can be imagined.
At the end of World War II in 1945, Germany was defeated, and the Czech Republic was included in the Warsaw Pact organization by the Soviet Union.
This bullying of the Czech Republic was replaced by a more powerful Soviet Union, and the bitter lesson after lesson made the Czech Republic realize how important national independence and sovereign integrity are.
And that's just international, and the Czech domestic problems are not much better than the international ones.
Because of the long-term suppression, in the fierce external environment, the Czech government is also divided into several forces, basically supported by those big countries. Coupled with the lack of peaceful development, social unrest and corruption within the Czech Republic.
Politicians just want to satisfy their own interests and put money in their pockets.
In the corruption ranking published by Transparency International, the Czech Republic ranks 57th out of 183 countries, which is almost the bottom of Europe.
Therefore, the top and bottom are closely related, and the government has no time to pay attention to the quietly emerging "special services" industry, and this political environment has given the industry a breeding ground and raised the foundation for growth.
The second is sky-breaking unemployment.
The Czech Republic is not without any resources, the Czech Republic's hard coal and uranium mines rank third and fifth in the world respectively, the importance of uranium as a substance does not need to be said, and the improvement of coal resources to the economy has been a lesson in the past.
However, "Pifu is not guilty and guilty", this resource is not at all the Czech Republic itself can decide, the Czech Republic wanders back and forth between capitalism and communism, missed the best opportunity for development, but learned a four-like, the market needs to transform today, tomorrow it will transform.
In this way, the unemployment rate naturally broke through the sky. At its peak, there were 450,000 unemployed people in the Czech Republic, a group of people who could not support themselves, and some of the women had to take the last route in order to survive.
Finally, there is the problem of education in the Czech Republic.
The Czech youth has always been full of three words, "alcoholism, drugs, sex", and the pressure from all sides makes each generation of young people who are about to enter society despair, depravity and indulgence make them addicted to it.
Coupled with the fact that watching other women achieve financial freedom just by lying down, this impact of unearned gains is a great stimulus for the women among these young people. It is like in a society where the normal way up the ladder has been blocked, and people can only satisfy their lives in this way.
The lack of government functions, the loss of control of the economic market, and the loss of human resources are the main reasons for the Czech Republic's degeneration.
Where the future lies
In October 2008, Xinhua News Agency Prague published a set of data showing that about one-third of births in the Czech Republic are out of wedlock, and the number continues to rise. The Czech newspaper Today also mentioned that in 2007, more than 40,000 babies were born to Czech single mothers, accounting for 35% of the year's births.
This set of figures was only 8.6 percent in 1990, and Czech demographer Itka predicts that this figure may rise to 50 percent in the future.
Half of all births in a country are born out of wedlock, and it's frightening to think about.
In addition to local Czech women, women from Poland, Ukraine and other countries come here to work in special services. But it has to be mentioned that most working women earn only a little better than ordinary office workers, just some.
This is because when a large number of women flood into the industry, then involution will occur, and many women rely on individuals to be easily threatened and intimidated, they can only rely on some businessmen, so the hard-earned money will be exploited layer by layer.
In addition, many of the guests are a large number of violent people, they do not care about these women, so most of the victims of robbery and trafficking are these people, but fortunately, this sad phenomenon has been realized by the Czech people.
These so-called "open minds" are essentially a cultural invasion that cannot be stopped without sufficient cultural heritage. The Czech government has also begun to crack down on the industry in recent years, while recognizing who is good and who is bad internationally.
Since China's visit to the Czech Republic in 2016, Czech President Zeman has participated in the "Belt and Road" International Cooperation Summit, Zeman claimed in front of the media: "I hope to be deeply involved in the construction of the Belt and Road", and the intentional cooperation signed between China and the Czech Republic covers more than 40 projects in 14 fields.
Zeman also said that Skoda, the largest Czech company, has already had good cooperation with China, and hopes to expand cooperation space in other fields in the future.
There are also signs that the Czech Republic is trying to remove some bad labels, is trying to solve domestic problems in a smooth way, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, as for the future success of the Czech Republic, it remains to be seen.
