Copenhagen sex trade puzzles Americans, but it’s the norm in some countries

by Kay B. Day

The idea of legal sex trade combined with sex workers’ unions may puzzle Americans, but some countries regulate the trade and derive revenue from the same. As dignitaries, financiers, entrepreneurs, government bureaucrats and groupies head to Copenhagen for the big climate change powow, sex trade workers are prepping by making an unusual offer—a sort of coupon for sex.

Produce a special postcard and a COP 15 identity card, and one (or more) Danish sex workers may take care of your needs. Global warming never sounded so titillating. Sex workers in Denmark got miffed when Copenhagen’s mayor issued postcards to hotels so they could be encouraged to warn guests not to spend money on what Americans would call prostitutes since the trade isn’t legal in most US cities.

But sex for money is legal in Denmark, so if you produce one of the mayor’s postcards and your COP 15 i.d. card, you get a freebie. No wonder all those climate alarmists are smiling in so many photos. Come to think of it, no wonder climate alarmists are so eager to head for Copenhagen.

Some so-called philanthropists actually advocate for sex workers.

Well-known (alleged) Democrat benefactor and world political activist George Soros apparently wants to help. His foundation features a report, ‘Sex Worker Health and Rights Advocates use of Information and Communications Technologies Report.’ The report offers great ideas for exchanging information among sex workers, building advocacy and enhancing networking.

The 2007 paper said, “Sex workers’ groups demonstrate and often use general flair technologies such as photographs, power point, videos, karaoke and audio in innovative ways. This could be due partly to cultural and literacy barriers, but is also due to the creative nature of the community.” One must consider how Karaoke benefits the sex trade, but we are not experts in that field and we acknowledge the Soros-pubbed report superior on those matters.

During a spring climate conference in Copenhagen, the newspaper Politiken (Denmark) reported brisk levels of business in the sex trade. The paper quoted one sex worker who said politicians needed to relax after a “long day.”

As global warming enthusiasts descend on Copenhagen, the sex trade will likely see an uptick. Kind of puts a new spin on the whole concept of warming, and like the paper/electronic trail for current UN and other warming claims, this sex warming trail will probably not be easy to trace, document or interpret.
