First time posting, first time mongering, first time in Amsterdam. Learn from my mistakes! (Or at least be entertained by them.)
So I'm in Amsterdam for the first time, finally back to business travel. Beautiful city, great people, definitely need to visit again.
On the final day of my trip I head down to the main tourist area, do a walking tour, see a lot of the old city, buy some souvenirs. I walk the RLD and it's not entirely what I expected (but then I didn't do that much research first): as you walk around you'll first notice that the number of bars and restaurants are increasing in density, then some clubs, maybe a sex toy shop. It's all mingled together: restaurant, pub, convenience store, dildo shop, restaurant, bar. If you went expecting that the RLD was just concentrated brothels like I did, you'll be surprised. As you get further towards the center you start seeing the famous Red Doors: a glass full-height door with some red neon around the perimiter. At first I'd seen the mix of lingerie shops and whatnot that I wasn't paying that close of attention and then suddenly you realize that's not a mannequin in the window, it's a SW.
I come to realize that yes, even the famous SWs are just intermingled with everything else on offer in the RLD. As I walk around getting a feel for the area I also see places like the famous Moulin Rouge Amsterdam, more restaurants, tourist shops, and people just milling about absolutely everywhere, some even walking around with their kids. While some of the doors and down side streets, many are just on the main streets either at street level or up on a second floor balcony accessible via stairs. I did notice that at least during the daytime the SWs in doors facing the more busy streets were in body suits instead of lingerie, I assume out of an understanding of the more mixed audience (including those previously mentioned kids).
There's quite a mix of girls in the doors, most look Eastern European, some definite 10/10s as well as a mix of 7/8/9s. Many look absolutely bored, smoking or chatting with eachother or browsing their phones, while others are eager to make eye contact and beckon people to their door to talk. Each door has a warning that photographing SWs is illegal and pushishable by a fine, and I even see one guy snap a pic just to have the girl open the door, spray his water bottle all over him, then yell at him while throwing the bottle.
I find something to eat, get my fill of the place, and start heading back to the train station to catch a car to my hotel, texting with my wife about the city and the RLD and how unexpected it was when she replies:
Interesting
Lol... how much is it? Can you ask?
Is there a menu?
I mentioned that yes, you can talk to them, but you're approaching them on an active street. I told her the doors are the menu and there's some pretty attractive options. Then the really unexpected:
I'm just saying if it's reasonable, go have some fun
As long as you're not falling in love with her, I'm good
After shaking off my incredulousness and confirming she really was serious and wanted me to report back after, I dropped my souvenirs in a locker at the train station and headed back to the RLD. My wife is texting about how things are at work and asking for status updates, to my shock she really is just totally cool with this.
I do a little reading, get the gist of how this should work, and start exploring all over again, this time paying more attention to the doors than before. It feels odd walking up and chatting in a busy public space so after a lot of window shopping I walk up to the first and start chatting. Name, where she's from, and then start asking what it costs for a BJ and CG.
Inflation is everywhere, and the RLD is no exception. The stories you've heard of quick $50 fun are either from the past, or my dislike of haggling has gotten in my way. Instead it's $100 for a 15 min BJ. I wasn't sexually active when I was younger (I'm mid 40's), so if I'm going to do this, I don't want just a BJ. I say thanks and keep walking around. Same answer from another door on another street. There certainly is a going rate. The girls do look incredible, but I'm a little hesitant since my wife had previously joked to see what $100 would get me.
Realizing my budget wasn't aligned, I walked several blocks back to a door I had spotted earlier, just to see the curtain drawn. She was either done for the day or busy. Feeling like it was time to either get busy or go home, I opted for the nearest door based pretty much on a nice smile as I was walking by.
While I tried to specifically ask about CG, this one I asked and she said yes, and when I asked what I get for my $100, and she says "sex". What the hell, let's do it.
So when you agree, she lets you in the door and draws the curtain, then in my case you go up a tight staircase to the second level where there's a small room with a bed, sink, and bidet. A TV up on the wall shows porn.
I handed over the 100 euros, and she motions me to take off my clothes and takes off hers. She svelte and it's clear the bra was pretty enhancing, she's maybe an A cup at best, looked a bit better endowed before the lingerie came off but hey, we're here. The friendly demeanor was over though, it was business time. There's no GFE here, just a transaction.
She gets on the bed ready for basic missionary and says that's the position. I had specifically said CG and she said that was 150 eur, so I forked over a little more but it leaves me feeling nickle and dimed. I'm ready for the BJ and she again says that's extra. I'm already naked and this is my first time and I'm already a little anxious by the newness of it all, but I tell her that's all my cash. She points out she takes cards but I'm already $50 over budget so I decline. I lay down, she puts on a rubber and starts a HJ, but I can't really get going while stressed and with a rubber on. After a couple of minutes she comments to relax and focus, then comments again that I should have gone for the BJ. I finally say fine, and she grabs a terminal and I pay another $100 on a card. Back to the bed she starts in on the BJ and certainly has skills, and I do rise to the occasion, but when I do she doubles down on the BJ as if she knows she can avoid the CG if she can get me to pop.
I ask her at that point to switch to the CG and I can tell that she's using her hand to block that she's fumbling the insertion and saying "you're not hard enough" and switches back to a HJ. I say back to BJ and she said that would be a second fee.
That's it, it's pretty clear this is a game, how much can she get for the least amount of work. Five minutes of HJ later I'm told time is up, I really should have relaxed/focused, I'm too stressed.
I get up, get dressed, exchange pleasantries, and she asks if I can close the glass door on my way out.
In hindsight an escort is the way to go, but to be fair I wasn't expecting to do anything that night so I really hadn't had a chance to research things before the moment. Later research would show that my experience is pretty common: the girls will try and get as much cash as they can without the effort and then blame the customer on being too drunk/stressed/etc. Lots of stories of guys not popping on all for their money. It clearly works on the drunken tourists in town for stag parties, and hey, it worked on me cold sober even.
Not a great first experience, but onward and upward! I used to get to HK/JP a lot back in the day and will likely be back to travel soon, so hoping to have a better experience through research here. Shame I wasn't married to this amazing woman the last time I was a heavy traveler. |
