Mag offers free brothel session

A German magazine sold out in a day after offering readers vouchers for a free sex session at a brothel in Austria.

Readers of the Freizeit Magazine said they were shocked when they opened the mag to find a full page advert for a brothel in Salzburg.

Prostitution is legal in both countries and the ad promised "half an hour free sex with a lady of your choice" for anyone who cut out the coupon and brought it with them on their next visit.

Local woman Vera Hahnen, who regularly buys the lifestyle magazine to find out what's going on at the weekends, said: "I was appalled by the advert.

"The magazine is supposed to be about leisure and entertainment activities, but I don't find paying women to have sex with them particularly entertaining. The advert is indecent and sexist."

But the head of the advertising section says he does not understand what all the fuss is about.

He said the advertisement was "in no way salacious neither in content nor visually", and accused complainants of "nitpicking".
