In most places, employing the services of a sex worker usually means a seedy hotel room rented by the hour or, in a pinch, the backseat of moving cab. And those are the nice alternatives. In other parts of the world, however, where brothels are allowed to exist and thrive, the "offices" can get pretty fancy and elaborate—sometimes they're downright cute! In a project reminiscent of some previous Japanese excursions, photographer Patric Fouads took a tour of some the finer brothels in Germany and came back with a collection of unique and interesting photos, snapped in the bedrooms where fantasies are made and paid for. And if you want to pretend like you're in Japan, you can always find a place for that too.
