How can a trade that is thousands of years old, considered by many to be one of the oldest in the world, change overnight? Only thanks to a revolution like the Internet, which has allowed what has been the same for centuries to now become something different. Safer, more discreet, more professional. And it is that paid sex has always existed, and the truth is that the exchange of sexual pleasure for money does not have much more difficulty than one imagines. Go to the place where the sexual encounter will take place and you simply pay for receiving that sexual pleasure from the hands of a professional. That exchange remains the same but the context has changed. And it is that before, to find any of these women, we had to go to certain points in the city, or to hostesses.
It was the most common. Since the times of the Middle Ages, prostitutes have started looking for clients on roads, in ports and in inns, where travelers passed. They knew they would find good businesses there, but obviously, they were also very unsafe areas. The method had hardly changed until the advent of the Internet, which has brought with it the demonstration that things can be done differently. For example, thanks to online profiles, girls no longer need to go out on the street because their lovers find them on the Internet. This is much safer for both men and women, and also much more discreet. The girls no longer expose themselves as much as they used to, spending hours on the street waiting to find clients. The revolution is reaching further, and some apps have even emerged for mobile phones that put us in contact with prostitutes. In Germany, a so-called Peppr was launched a few years ago, with much controversy behind it, as it was known as the “Uber of sex”. In a country where this work is legal, anyone can offer their services in exchange for money. But Peppr is much more than a simple app…
An app only available in Germany
Peppr was launched in 2016, exclusively in Germany, for a good reason: the German country does legalize prostitution, so advertising sexual services here is legal. The app was already born with a lot of controversy behind it, as is obvious, since despite this regularization, there are many who still see the world of prostitution as something dirty or even perverse. The creators insisted from the beginning that Peppr mainly served sex workers, offering them a safer and more discreet work platform. It is known as the Uber of sex because you can even ask the girl to come to the requested address, in addition to finding different professionals near our location.
Better than Tinder for sexual encounters
When we are looking for a sexual encounter, the most common thing is to enter Tinder and try to find a girl or boy that we like. In fact, the way this app has also changed the way we relate to our dates is brutal. Tinder has become one of the first options for any single when looking for a serious relationship, but also a one night stand. However, anyone who has tried it knows that things don’t usually go that fast, and that it takes a long time to find someone to match. From there it can even take weeks to meet, so for a hot moment, Tinder is not exactly the most perfect option.
Peppr offers all the advantages of Tinder or Uber, with the ease of finding a sex professional very close to us. Of course, we will have to pay for the service, but on many occasions, as they say, a prostitute is much cheaper than any flirt. And it is that the intentions are clear from the first moment and the last thing we both want is to waste time. That’s why it’s easier and more practical to use Peppr, with all the discretion and security that this application gives us. Finding sex workers near us is no longer a hassle, and we will also have their profiles with photos and even videos at our disposal. The platform has thought of everything, and for a few years it has allowed thousands of German prostitutes to work in a much safer way.
Discretion and speed
The idea of creating Peppr comes, according to its developers, from the intention of offering a safe environment for paid sexual encounters. The world of prostitution has always had that reputation of being dark and dangerous, but in a country like Germany, which has already legalized it, the ideal conditions should exist for this business to be carried out with all possible security for both parties. And this is one of the first barriers that we find in Peppr. The very fact of having the application installed already suggests that we are looking for sexual encounters with prostitutes, so it may not be appropriate for men with a partner, for example. In addition, despite the confidentiality of the app, our card data is recorded, as well as our name… A hack and everything will be revealed.
The girls have also commented that, despite how good the app is for some things, its own premise already leaves them marked in a certain way. Those who want to be one hundred percent discreet and not give their location, for example, see themselves out of the possibilities offered by Peppr. You can’t please everyone, of course, but it’s true that prostitutes have found some things to improve in the application. On the other hand, his speed and discretion are very positive, because they provide security to both the girl and the client. The possibility of finding a sex professional a few minutes away also stimulates this business, so in general, the arrival of this app has been very positive for German prostitution.
Why your success won’t be massive
However, Peppr has been stagnant for years and has also made the great leap that was expected in other countries. And we don’t find many places in the world where prostitution is totally regulated, like in Germany, which already prevents the arrival of this app. Also, like Uber, the app only works smoothly and quickly in big cities. If we are in a small mountain town we can try our luck, but it is unlikely that any prostitute local wanted to join Peppr’s registry. That is why the application, despite its great launch and its original success, has been somewhat diminished by the passage of time. The Internet continues to evolve and generate opportunities for everyone, including sex professionals.
