Unerotica

DW staff (dfm)January 16, 2009

While the image of the farmer's daughter could be associated with innocent love and desire, the idea of wooing the farmer's son is apparently repelling, a German survey of the top 10 unerotic jobs shows.

It may come as no surprise that a life feeding pigs and cows is in no way appealing to the modern metropolitan female, but when compared with other jobs in the least erotic 10, farm life doesn't seem so bad.

Consider the individual who dedicates his life to the noble art of sewerage purification and the associated lingering aromas that come with the position. Or perhaps the honest debt collector, just doing his job, albeit with a pair of knuckledusters.

And many Germans weren't particularly turned on by sex shop workers -- who'd presumably have extensive knowledge in the field.

Also to make the top 10 were tax collectors, bailiffs, garbage collectors, undertakers, slaughterhouse workers -- and teachers.

Germany-based pollster and researcher Forsa released the survey results Friday, Jan. 16.
