Amsterdam Sex & Drugs
by Rico Standard

Whether you fly or drive to the European country of The Netherlands, you will definitely want to visit the city of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is the Dutch capital and its nightlife has no competitor in Europe. Prostitution and soft drugs are legal in Amsterdam as in all parts of The Netherlands.

Amsterdam Red Light District

Hooking up for sex in Amsterdam is natural and easy.

There are three Red Light Districts in Amsterdam: the Walletjes, Singel and Pijp. The largest and best-known Red Light District in all of Holland is the Amsterdam Red Light District called "De Wallen", also known as Walletjes or Rosse Buurt.

Other famous Red Light Districts are in: - Utrecht - 30 minutes by train from Amsterdam city, has a canal boat based district - Den Haag - has a great looking prostitute shopping mall - Rotterdam - has numerous brothels, though they can't be compared with Amsterdam brothels.

In many smaller cities you also find the Red Light Districts. Among the smaller cities that have Red Light Districts are Alkmaar and Groningen. You may even come across a tippelzone for the drive-thru sex clients.

So why are there so many red light districts in this small country? Prostitution is legal in Holland, so municipalities receive incomes from prostitution. All day long, the prostitutes work behind their windows generating income for the state.

Clients must be at least 16 years old, while prostitutes must be at least 18. The non-commercial age of consent for sex is 16. It's very rare to find a Dutch woman working as a prostitute in the Amsterdam Red Light District; most of the prostitutes come from abroad, and a good percentage are illegal immigrants. Twenty minutes of sex will cost you about 40 to 50 € (euros). For many years, live sex shows in the Red Light Districts have also been a big part of Amsterdam tourism. Men and woman from around the world enjoy these nightly erotic shows that combine sex & humor with lights, music and choreography. Visitors can also visit brothels, peek in on peepshows, or visit the Erotic Museum, all located in the Red Light District of Amsterdam.

Amsterdam Coffee Shops

Amsterdam is also highly favored by those who smoke weed and use other soft drugs. Here you can get legally high when you buy and smoke marijuana bought in the most famous outlets for drugs called "coffe shops". The Dutch do not normally arrest people for possesion or distribution of small quantity of drugs. In fact I've seen many people ask a policeman in the street if they have a light for their fresh rolled joint.

Smoking pot in Amsterdam coffee shops is based on the Dutch rules which limit the consumption and purchase to a maximum of 30 grams and the buyer should be at least 18 years old of age.

An Amsterdam trip can be summed up in this line "Come for the drugs, stay for the whores!"
