Sex drive-in
A sex drive-in or sex box is a car garage that is designed to allow prostitution to take place using cars, and can be found in a few countries in Europe. Generally the facilities are created by local authorities to put some control on where prostitution occurs and to provide increased safety.
Background
The concept started in the Netherlands where such facilities are called afwerkplek, and was first used in Utrecht starting in 1986. It was later adopted in Germany, where the Utrecht model was first used in Cologne in 2001. There, a football field-sized, fenced-in space of a former industrial area, with a gated entry, security cameras, and alarm buttons in each stall.Generally facilities are designed so that the driver cannot exit the vehicle after pulling into the structure, but the prostitute can. In 2008, this design width was reported to be a problem in the Utrecht sex drive-in because the growing sizes of SUV and luxury cars meant they were having difficulties fitting into the slots.
