From the whorehouse to parliament

The Swedish filmmaker Svante Tidholm visited the large brothel Pascha in Cologne for three years to collect film and interview material for his documentary "Like a Pascha". He interviewed women working in the Pascha, but also the service staff and the manager Armin Lobscheid stood in front of his camera and talked freely and openly about their work and how things work in a large brothel. When Svante Tidholm found out that I also host gang bang parties and trans porn parties at Pascha there, he asked me for permission to document our parties. He was particularly taken with my gang bang parties with the trans girls and we all had the feeling that Svante Tidholm and his team really enjoyed the shooting.

And so everything went on until the film premiered in Sweden. In order to make his film known to a wide audience, Tidholm traveled all over Sweden to explore the motives of the men who use the services of a prostitute or who take part in gang bang parties in subsequent discussion groups after the film screening. For Tidholm himself, who calls himself a feminist, it was incomprehensible that brothels even existed and that men so shamelessly "exploited" women. Tidholm said it was a shock when he first entered the Pasha and saw hundreds of prostitutes spread across 11 floors. In his opinion, the Swedish ban on prostitution is the only viable way to protect women, but also men, from themselves.

In his native Sweden, prostitution is forbidden and clients are punished if they take advantage of such offers. In his opinion, it is only the liberal German legislation that makes it possible for there to be such a great demand from men for paid sex.

The film caused a huge hype in Sweden and even the Swedish parliament discussed what was seen in a special session.
Emma gratefully took on this topic and published an interview with Svante Tidholm in her spring issue, as she felt confirmed in her opinion that prostitution should not take place like this.
I had a completely different impression of Tidholm and his team during the filming. The boys were in a good mood and there was a lot of laughter. I didn't get the impression that Tidholm and his team suffered while working. But well, everyone markets their product the way they think they can best sell it.
The Swedish anti-client law is a big self-deception and if even the Swedish king doesn't take it seriously - it should be abolished.
