This board has been informative, and I have also found a potential disincentive to visit an FKK Club.
I am a reformed smoker - I know - the worst kind. Quit many years ago, and I still find a smoke filled room uncomfortable. The idea of DFKing a person with smoker's breath is very unappealing. From what I have read, an early visit may be adviseable, and because I will be restricted to daytime visits, this would work for me.
My questions - will the smoke in clubs be less of a problem shortly after opening?
- is it acceptable to ask a girl if she is a smoker?
- are the zimmers usually smoke-free areas?
- are there any smoke-free clubs along the Ruine, Main and Danube?
Useful information will be much appreciated.
Generally, there are a much higher percentage of smokers in Europe than in North America. As a lifelong nonsmoker, I agree that it used to be unbearable in FKKs and Partytreffs. Recently, Germany instituted non-smoking laws for businesses and government buildings similar to North America. The difference is in how it's implemented. Some FKKs have banned smoking in all areas, so the girls and customers who smoke have to go out in the lobby or in a designated smoking area. Some have smoking and non-smoking areas in the same club which are separated by a glass door or something. This is marginally effective because there aren't the necessary modifications to the HVAC systems. Also, most, if not all, of the action takes place in the smoking area. As is the case here, FKK owners get around the nonsmoking laws by declaring that their businesses are "private clubs" or something like that.
My experience has been that most girls tend to smoke when they are not with a customer. You will see them in a gaggle by themselves. They are generally respectful of a customer's desires in this area. I tend to shower frequently in these places, so whatever smoky smell I get (especially in my hair) doesn't last long. The locker room & shower areas in the newer places are smoke-free and are good no-smoking areas.
I agree that going in the afternoons on a slow day is a good idea. You will be overwhelmed by the girls, the atmosphere (sexual) and by a culture where consenting adults can do whatever they want without having to look over their shoulder every 5 minutes.
