Amsterdam young girls sex

Legal prostitution in Amsterdam is one of the city's biggest draws, not in the least for tourists who just want to wander the Red Light District to be amazed about Dutch liberal attitudes, or to take in the atmosphere of titillation. But the rosy-red colors and the girls' seductive smiles only tell part of the story. This age old profession, which was legalized in the Netherlands centuries ago, has a darker side too. Even when the situation in Amsterdam is generally a lot better than elsewhere in the world, prostitution in Amsterdam remains a cold and cynical thing. You can visit the Red Light District on your own but it is much more fun to do so with a guided tour.

Many stories circle around this district. One of them says that in the times of utmost prohibitions the ladies would write their confessions down on a piece of paper every night after their shifts ended, and slided them under the door of the church located in this very district. The priests of Oude Kerk would seal each written confession with wax and pardon their sins in the act of indulgence each morning, over and over again. The Church was against hustling, but not against the people. And the thing it was least opposed to, was the money. Today, right next to the De Oude Kerk stands a statue of Belle , dedicated to all the ladies of the world.

De Wallen, the infamous red light district in Amsterdam , Holland, is under threat. Many of its window brothels , in which women are displayed like carcasses for the entertainment of sex tourists, are closing down. Most legal street prostitution zones across the country have closed, and soon they will all cease operation. A number of politicians and law enforcers are now accepting that legalised prostitution has been an unmitigated disaster.

One of the most-frequently asked questions we receive is this one regarding the Red Light District : In Amsterdam, what is the age limit for prostitutes and their customers? Legally, prostitution is viewed as a profession like any other. Prostitutes are subject to the same legal requirements as any other business person, including the payment of income tax. However, since July, , the City of Amsterdam already requires prostitutes to be at least 21 years of age. The city raised the age limit as part of a series of measures to tackle widespread abuse, including human trafficking and slavery.
