A German model risks a €2000 fine because of her business


Natalie Hot strips in front of her webcam and makes a very good living. However, her work is currently causing issues for her, because the German authorities want to prohibit her from doing this from her home in a residential neighbourhood.

She lives in a community of a few thousand residents in the peaceful province of Upper Bavaria. She earns money by creating personalised porn videos, erotic photos and webcam shows from home.

In a recent communication, the district’s authorities rejected her request to use rooms in her home for erotic chats and production of adult material. As a result, the court has threatened to fine Nathalie €2000 if she continues to use her rooms for commercial and professional purposes.

Yet other small businesses in this residential area have received and exemption, but not Nathalie. The problem doesn’t seem to be having a professional business, but rather the sexual nature of her business.

Germany, famous for its naturism and brothels, has always had a reputation of being very liberal about sexuality. But Upper Bavaria still seems to be very conservative.
