They look like shelters for hikers in a national park, but these wooden sheds in Switzerland have a rather less innocent purpose – they provide a discreet location for men to have sex with prostitutes.
The drive-in "sex boxes" as they are being called, will be officially opened on August 26, as part of a drive by authorities in Zurich to regulate prostitution, combat pimping and improve security for sex workers.
The nine garage-style structures, located in a former industrial zone in the west of the city, have been organised with typically Swiss precision.
Drivers will have to follow a clearly marked route along which up to 40 prostitutes will be stationed.
Once they have chosen one of the women and negotiated a fee, they will drive into one of the wooden sheds, which are hung with posters advocating the use of condoms and warning of the risk of Aids.
The sex boxes are equipped with alarms which the prostitutes can activate if they feel in danger from a client.
"We want to regulate prostitution because until now it was the law of the jungle," said Michael Herzig, from Zurich's social welfare department, when the initiative was announced.
"It was the pimps who decided the prices, for instance. We are trying to reach a situation which is better for the prostitutes themselves, for their health and security and also for people who live in Zurich."
The £1.4 million project was approved by voters in Zurich last year in a referendum.
While prostitution is legal in Switzerland, sex workers have to pay a tax of five Swiss francs (£3.50) each night that they work.

They have a sex tax....
If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it. ~ Ronald Reagan
So instead of creating a black market for sex they decided to tax it to death...
Whatever happened to the No-Tel Motel...
Government pimping, okay. Individual pimping, not okay. Got it!
Would you like fries with that?
Tell me when is the next Democrat Convention? They may have found their next convention venue.

Drive in, well yes.
I liked one of the comments following the article...
“So now the government is the pimp.”

Maybe I need an anatomy lesson. I mean if you got the hooker, ain’t ya got one of those already?
This is the stupid thing about Europe, they somehow think they can make the worst things “safer”. Like Islam. They think by letting massive number of Islamics come to Europe they can tame them.
dumb dumb
Swiss pimp: Knock knock
Laz: OK. Who’s there?
Swiss pimp: Little old lady.
Laz: Umm. I’ll hit it:
Little old lady who?
Swiss pimp: Yodel all you vant, you are getting toothless Gertie.
She’s got seniority.
I often wonder how they survived this long. Seriously. I mean we have plenty of stupid, but dear God...
It’s frikking cold in Switzerland. I must be getting old, being warm trumps all other needs. Men continue to confound me with the level of discomfort they’ll put up with for sex. I dunno sitting in a cold concrete box with some Swiss hooker? Not really appealing, I think I’d opt for the Japanese route. (:

You know, at this point, if you're still interested in having sex, there's something wrong with you.
Seriously, there is probably a tax funded shuttle taking the hookers from Needle Park to these "huts".
I hope they’re self-cleaning.
