Prostitution in Holland

La prostitution is legal in the Netherlands, riding a Amsterdam and for the most part it is concentrated in the Red Light District where it has enjoyed a long tradition of tolerance. Since October 2000, window prostitutes are legally allowed for the carnal trade.

Today, prostitutes in the Netherlands are also taxpayers. Unfortunately, discrimination is still very much an integral part of this trade as prostitutes say they saw that some banks refuse to grant mortgages for example.

However, now as a legal profession, the government ensures that all prostitutes can have access to medical care and work in better conditions by controlling and monitoring work practices and standards.

Also, contrary to popular belief, the Red Light District is actually the safest area in Amsterdam as groups of policemen and private bodyguards hired by the girls are always on duty.

By the way, booth prostitution is different from the Netherlands. On Utrecht, 30 minutes east of Amsterdam, has its own red light district, while Rotterdam It has a number of sex clubs or private houses (privenhuizen) and small towns like Groningen and Alkmaar have also jumped on the red light bandwagon.

Where do you want to go? Well, if curiosity doesn't get the better of you, go at night when the district really comes to life. During the day, the district is less lively and less attractive as the seedier aspects are manifested in natural light.

For those who are not easily offended, there are plenty of live sex shows, mostly in Amsterdam, like the Pink House (OZ Achterburgwal) and the famous Moulin Rouge (Oudezijds Achterburgwal 5-7). And for the curious, there are numerous shows with video booths.

But of course, for the more adventurous there are more interactive shows, for example at de Bananenbar (Oudezijds Achterburgwal 37). As for merchandise, there's a somewhat eclectic mix of videos, magazines, sex aids, and toys.

The Red Light District is also home to many gay bars and cinemas that can be found on the very busy Warmoesstraat. There are also a number of brothels and private houses that offer a more traditional form of prostitution.

A tip in these places: Do not take photos of the windows with the women, this is strictly prohibited and any attempt will be quickly controlled by the police.
