So I understand that this may be construed as a somewhat taboo subject but hopefully you can all give me an opinion. I feel the need to explain myself before getting to the point, maybe for the fear of being judged. So I hope you can stick with me;. My wife died four years ago and ever since I've not been with another woman, I'm currently in the progress of booking a trip around Europe and one of my stops will be Amsterdam roughly around march. When in Amsterdam I have considered Using the services of the red light district women.
How rife is this in the Amsterdam prostitution industry? If I knew a woman was not doing the service of her own will I consciously could not consider it. Cecile74; Although by all accounts prostitution in the UK is legal, it's not controlled on the same level as The Netherlands. I should have thought of this before.
The Prostitution Information Centre in the red light district is bound to have more info for you, and help you find legal and willing sex workers, and information about the controlled status. Are some of those girls working what they consider crappy jobs because of home pressure or economics? Think of this the next time you stop into a McDonalds or see folks going down into a sewer to fix it. What you should be doing IMO is figuring out how comfortable you will be doing this.
Joy vs guilt after. That is why I suggest a prive house. More like a real date than a stop into Quicky Lube for a 15 min oil change. Interestingly raising this topic on here has made me more aware of my views on the subject and maybe you are right John, maybe this isn't that is concievable for myself. It's difficult as your aware, i've been stuck in a transistional period for so long now after the passing of my wife, not really knowing what to do with myself Whatever my choice I shall go and enjoy Amsterdam and start living my life, who knows maybe i'll meet someone along the way, if my complete inability to flirt does not inhibit me haha Thanks all for chipping in on the debate, it's definitely helped.
One thing I will say. I have observed and read about the RLD for ages. STDs was my area at one time. Hi RichJ, I am in a similar situation to yourself, I am a widower and whilst I do not feel ready to enter any kind of relationship I would consider using the services of one of the lady's in Amsterdam. I have thought about visiting hence my reason for reading your post but as other posters have mentioned you may be better in a private house rather than one of the window girls.
