It seems like this should be a hoax or exaggeration, but haven't seen any debunking yet:

Germany Forcing Unemployed Women into Legalized Prostitution

however,

"A spokesman for the Federal Labour Office said that if job seekers said they were prepared to work as, for example, dancers in strip bars, advisers could put them in touch with any suitable employers, but vacancies would not be displayed in job centres.

He also stressed job centres would not look for prostitutes on behalf of brothels, nor offer sex industry jobs to people who had not specifically mentioned it as an area of interest.

Speculation has grown over recent weeks that Germany's new welfare reforms, obliging the long-term unemployed to take any available job or risk losing their benefits, could lead to women being offered jobs in the sex industry."

If claim in previous post were true (which probably isn't, and certainly wouldn't be upheld in court), then it's probably also legally the case that straight men would be required to accept jobs as prostitutes for male customers.

How about being forced to accept a job as a stunt person, or arctic fishing boat hand, or any other life-threatening job? I'd expect there to be general rules allowing one to specify what sorts of jobs they'd accept.
