Czech Republic,

A small European country with a land area of less than 80000 square kilometers and a total population of 10.7 million,

He is a leader among developed countries in Europe.

However,

This is also the largest pornographic film production base in Europe,

Seven out of every 100000 Czechs have filmed pornographic films, and both the world's top and third adult websites are located here.

Why has the Czech Republic become like this, from a developed country to becoming rich through the sex industry?

The influx of "sexual liberation" in national transformation

Czech Republic was not originally a country,

Its predecessor was the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic,

Many years ago, he also belonged to the socialist camp.

Czechoslovakia has a strong industrial foundation, particularly renowned for its manufacturing industry,

And this also established its position as the seventh strongest country in the world.

After the end of World War II, Western countries dominated by capitalism encountered a "great earthquake", suffering heavy losses at all levels and urgently needing to adjust policies to restore national strength. In such an international environment,

Some countries engaged in competition for interests, which led to the later US Soviet rivalry.

The rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union is clearly a fierce battle between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union

It is actually a contest between capitalism and socialism.

Watching the 'big brother' Soviet Union being suppressed by the United States,

Czechoslovakia decisively sided with the Soviet Union,

From then on, I willingly became the "little follower" of the latter.

But Czechoslovakia was still careless. It thought that joining the Soviet Union would provide support and soar to the top, but the result was vastly different.

In the eyes of the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia was just a "little sheep" that could be slaughtered at will, and what the Soviet Union really wanted was to manipulate its manufacturing industry.

In order to control Czechoslovakia, this cheap 'labor force',

The Soviet Union demanded that it must produce low-cost industrial parts for itself and then send the finished products to the Soviet Union.

That's not all,

The Soviet Union forced Czechoslovakia to only buy Soviet resources,

Let the latter become the 'great injustice seed'.

Later, the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union occurred one after another, and the international political situation underwent profound changes once again. Czechoslovakia, which once followed in the footsteps of the Soviet Union,

Due to years of economic losses, the social situation has become turbulent,

People's lives are severely affected and struggling.

In the 1990s, Czechoslovakia reproduced the ending of the "big brother" Soviet Union,

Split into two independent countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Czech Republic has deviated from the socialist track,

As the economy recovers, it gradually moves closer to the West, with the most typical change being "sexual liberation".

The Rise of Czech Pornography Industry

Before the collapse of the Soviet Union,

Influenced by communist ideology, Czechoslovakia held a relatively conservative attitude towards "sex".

However, at that time, the domestic economy was in a downturn, and many people even had food and clothing problems. In order to make ends meet,

Many women have no other choice but to enter the sex industry.

In other words, the development of the sex industry had already begun before Czech independence. Those women who engaged in the sex trade at the beginning probably did not expect that this would become a proud economic pillar of the Czech Republic many years later.

At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the pornography industry in the Czech Republic also quietly emerged on the other side.

After completing the transition from socialism to capitalism, the public's thoughts in the Czech Republic no longer avoided topics related to "sex" under the impact of Westernization. Like a flood of floodgates,

The sex industry, which was once avoided by people, has ushered in a golden period of explosive growth in the Czech Republic.

On the streets of major cities in the Czech Republic,

Adult video recording halls are arranged in rows, and 24-hour brothels can be seen everywhere.

Phone pornography has sparked a nationwide trend,

Even television stations are openly broadcasting erotic videos all day long,

Instead of broadcasting daily news.

In 1990,

The emergence of the first adult magazine in Czech Republic, LEO, set a precedent for the development of adult magazines in Czech Republic.

In just a few years, "LEO" became popular nationwide, with almost one in every 20 people reading the magazine. Its sales continued to rise, and it also changed the social atmosphere in the Czech Republic.

In the past, people engaged in sex trade mostly for a living, but under the careful operation of merchants,

This has become an alternative 'trend'.

Under the influence of the ideology of "sexual liberation" at its peak,

A political party called the Independent Pornography Initiative (N.E.I.) has emerged.

As its name suggests,

The purpose of this political party is to develop the sex industry,

Promote comprehensive 'sexual liberation' in the Czech Republic.

They held a "sexual culture seminar" and presented the public with "government newspapers" filled with pornographic photos and novels,

Almost using it to the extreme.

N. In the early days of E.I.'s establishment, there were only members within the party

four thousand

People do not have an advantage in terms of numbers compared to other political parties. But even so,

In the 1992 Czech general election, they still won 90000 votes.

You don't have to guess, the voters must be those lecherous' old drivers'.

In sharp contrast, Western countries such as the UK and the US have jurisdiction over the sex industry.

Taking California, USA as an example,

In order to restrict the development of the pornography industry and prevent accidents in adult film and television shooting, the local government has recently issued such a regulation:

All actors involved in filming adult films must wear condoms during filming to prevent virus infection.

In fact, this is a measure designed for the safety of actors and there is nothing inappropriate about it. But those adult film companies have suffered because it has harmed their interests and restricted the production of adult films.

In order to continue the development of the industry, these people turned their attention to the Czech Republic.

At that time, the Czech pornography industry had just taken the starting line and was in its golden stage of development. With the influx of a large number of adult film production companies,

The Czech Republic has also begun to vigorously develop the adult film and television industry.

WGCZ Holding Company

As a representative,

A group of adult film and television companies have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, emerging one after another.

WGCZ Holdings,

Located behind a doorway in the center of the Czech capital Prague, both the world's top and third adult websites are owned by it.

It is said that these two websites alone generate over 700 million visitors per month, and the revenue is unimaginably high.

These companies specializing in adult film and television production bring in billions of dollars in high revenue to the Czech Republic every year. The main direction of the company's business is different, and the subjects filmed may also have slight deviations according to market demand.

What really surprises people is the actors who shoot adult films and TV shows.

Although the Czech population is not large,

But it provides 12.88% of adult movie stars worldwide,

These are all well-known 'big red people'. For example, a former Czech gymnast who ranks among the top 20 global female actresses

Zdenka Podkapova

.

Before retiring, Podkapova was the most outstanding genius athlete in the Czech gymnastics world. After leaving the sports world

She first took photos for the pornographic magazine 'Attic', and then entered the sex industry in 2001,

Becoming a professional adult film and television actor.

In the Czech Republic, actors engaged in adult film and television production come from various industries. Some of them work as teachers in schools, while others are female parliamentarians in politics,

Even the daughter of the former deputy mayor of Prague, despite opposition from her family and friends, joined the team filming adult films.

This is not a shameful topic to talk about, at least in the Czech Republic, most people would consider it as a norm. In Prague,

Public places such as cinemas, schools, and shopping malls can all be used as locations for filming adult films and TV shows,

Sometimes,

People can even join midway.

Just a few years ago, some adult film and television production companies eager to expand their business and obtain high profits launched in the Czech Republic

Pornographic Weekend

Activity. The activity process is very simple,

Participants only need to pay 99 euros and present their health certificate to participate in live performances with adult film and television actors.

In addition, there is a special regulation for 'pornographic weekends',

If participants can persist in filming two consecutive 15 minute films, they will receive an objective reward.

Male participants can obtain

200 euros

(around one hundred and fifty0 RMB), women can obtain

400 euros

.

According to relevant data, in the Czech capital Prague,

On average, at least 7 out of every 100000 people have participated in adult film and television productions.

Even more surprising is that with the increasing popularity of adult film and television in the Czech Republic,

Some adult film and television actors have even turned their attention to politics.

In addition to the N.E.I. political party mentioned earlier, pornographic movie stars

Dolly Buster

I also had plans to run for the position of EU Member of Parliament. In March 2004, Buster publicly stated that,

She will participate in the EU parliamentary election held in June of the same year, hoping to transform her professional experience into a policy agenda.

Working in the adult film industry made me understand that sex is primarily about helping people understand each other, just as voters need to understand their supporters

Equally developed is the offline pornography industry in the Czech Republic,

There are over 13000 sex workers in the Czech Republic, with over 200 registered brothels in the capital city of Prague.

Whenever the lights come on, the streets of Czech Republic become gathering places for street women, specializing in providing low-priced sexual services.

In 2010, the financial crisis swept across the Czech Republic, causing significant economic turbulence. Many college students who had previously relied on part-time jobs to earn tuition and living expenses lost their sources of income as a result.

But Katka Kopekka from Charles University in Prague has found a new path to wealth.

Katka founded a new type of housekeeping company,

There are a total of 15 female college students under her name, and her main business is to provide on-site housekeeping services for clients.

The remuneration for this job is generous, and you can earn it every hour

150

The pound has sparked a large number of female college students to actively apply.

But in fact,

This company, which appears to be providing "domestic services," essentially offers pornographic services.

Just like the naked waiter restaurants on the streets of the Czech Republic, they are just used as a cover for housekeeping, but Kateka herself does not agree.

We only provide cleaning services to the outside world, and have never been involved in the sale of pornography

Some opponents deny Carter's claims,

It is believed that this has seriously damaged the image of the younger generation in the Czech Republic,

It is a manifestation of self indulgence. However, after more than 20 years of the impact of "sexual liberation",

Czech Republic has fallen into a state of 'colorless unhappiness', how can they turn back?

The pain and sadness under the carnival

The development of the Czech pornography industry is so rapid,

As the ruling Czech government, it has not made much statement from beginning to end.

The Czech Republic became a developed country as early as 2006, and now its economy is also stabilizing,

Why does the government still ignore the fact that the pornography industry has promoted the development of the Czech Republic?

In fact, it would be biased to say that the Czech government did not make efforts. In the early years,

Due to international public opinion pressure, the Czech government has also taken corresponding measures,

But it did not hit the Czech pornography industry,

The source is the overly open sexual culture awareness in China.

After years of development, the Czech pornography industry has become a deeply rooted tree, permeating people's daily lives and other industries. In the eyes of Czech locals,

The pornography industry is a continuous source of 'money making trees',

But for another group of people,

This is an inescapable nightmare.

Among countless sex workers,

Some of them are young women from Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania, and various Asian countries.

They were trafficked and taken all the way to work in pornographic establishments in the Czech Republic, where they were forced to sell their bodies to earn compensation.

These foreign girls are often the most tragic, they are the truly exploited class.

From morning till night, even if pregnant, I have to go out to pick up guests.

However, their efforts cannot be exchanged for equal returns,

The profit can only be obtained at 20%

And even worse,

They will also be sold to South America and other places as' sex slaves'.

There is a staggering loophole in the Czech legal system,

Czech girls can start having sex at the age of 15 or above.

This gave those "pedophiles" an opportunity to take advantage of the high incidence of illegal sex trafficking cases among minors in China, which persisted despite repeated bans.

Czech Republic once aired a program called

Body Without Soul

The documentary mainly tells the story of a group of young Czech boys who choose to film pornography and sell their bodies in order to make a living.

Sadly,

These boys have an average age of only 15-16 years old, and they were only 11 or 12 years old when they lost their chastity,

Most of them went astray due to rebellion. In order to make money, they signed unequal contracts with merchants and suffered great physical and mental devastation,

Some even sacrificed their lives for this.

But for those businessmen and investors who shoot adult films,

The health of an actor is like a feather in a feather compared to profit,

It's not worth mentioning at all.

Anyway, the photographers and investors are foreigners, and they also flow to the international market,

How could they really care about the feelings of the actors themselves?

The continuous development of the pornography industry has also brought another drawback. According to a research report in the United States, from 2010 to 2018,

The number of people living with AIDS in the Czech Republic increased by 128%, ranking fifth in the world.

Nowadays, the Czech Republic can no longer shake off the title of "pornography powerhouse".

The people of the Czech Republic are the ones who have the deepest resentment.

To this day, mentioning the Czech Republic is always associated with pornography, which makes them suffer and can only be silently endured.

When can the Czech Republic break free from the shackles of the sex industry? Perhaps only the Czech Republic knows the answer!Return to Sohu to view more
