They look like shelters for hikers in a national park, but these wooden sheds in Switzerland have a rather less innocent purpose – they provide a discreet location for men to have sex with prostitutes. — telegraph.co.uk
In an attempt to "regulate prostitution, combat pimping and improve security for sex workers", Zurich has opened nine "sex boxes" in the former industrial zone of Zurich. The boxes are accessed by drivers following signed routes, where customers will find up to 40 prostitutes waiting to offer their services.
The boxes prominently display posters advocating safe sex, and provide alarms for the prostitutes to trigger if they feel threatened.

The second image shows how very little privacy these shelters provide. I wonder what the lighting is like, since they will only be open from dusk until 5am?
Will they ever do this in the States? No - we dont have prostitutes here. Oh wait...
Sex Box is called a "motel" in America.
Sex boxes are everywhere... they're called cars.
I misread the thread title as this:

Mall = Sex Box
Airport = Sex Box
Sex Box = Sex Box?
In all seriousness, making prostitution safer can only be an overall benefit to society, especially (but not only) to women.
