A bizarre story was reported in August 2005: two women, 19 and 29 years old, had rented two rooms in the Pascha and announced over the internet that they would pay any man 50 Euro for sex; the goal was to find out who could have more partners in one day. In the end they had sex for 11 hours with a total of 115 men, and about 1,700 others had to be turned away. The German tabloid "Bild" turned the story into a headline the next day. The women insisted that they had paid the men from their own vacation money and had not received any compensation from "Bild" or Pascha. The 19-year-old woman later worked in the club brothel of Pascha.
