Hamburg Erotic Christmas Market “Santa Pauli” attracts with raunchy Gift Ideas

Whether wooden vibrators, angels with chocolate penises around their necks, the famous drag queen Olivia Jones, mulled wine or evening striptease shows – the Christmas market at Spielbudenplatz in Hamburg’s red-light district of Sankt Pauli has a lot to offer, for adults mind you. The show highlights in 2012 are a New York burlesque troupe and porn karaoke, and Ü18 films will also be shown in a tent, reports the Süddeitsche Zeitung. Already in its seventh year is the erotic Christmas market “Santa Pauli”. Founder is the managing director Jochen Bohnsack, who is happy about 40 booths this year (this is a record since its inception) and so far about 20 percent more visitors than last season. The idea was already on the brink of extinction in previous years. There have also been protests in the past. With a call for protest in a local newspaper, which was even dismissed as ridiculous by the bishop, Bohnsack got off lightly this year.
