There were a lot of coffee shops, sex shops and glass cabinets in the district. Most of pedestrian there were men and also some tourists. Like other places in Amsterdam, the street scenes were pretty and peaceful due to canals and bridges.
I was amazed by so various kinds of sex toys and tools. They were shown in cabinet. I guessed, they had the most advancing sex toys in the world, ha ha
It was astonishing to see sex workers showing up at confident poses like movie stars in glass cabinet with a red light bar above. They were men/women, old/young, fat/slim and white/Asian/black people and all dressed up with sexy and little lingerie. Most of them had very beautiful looks in good shapes but it was somehow artificial because of heavy making-up and possible plastic surgery.
I was very curious to look at them and see their furniture in the small room. But when they looked at my eyes, I became very shy… I would like to take pictures but I didn't dare especially some strong & big bodyguards were around. Some iron doors of the cabinets closed and it meant that the trade was proceeding. It was also interesting to see sex workers negotiating with customers with open door…
I visited the district with a friend in day. It could be more stunning to visit the place at night but it could be dangerous.
Red-light district is definitely a must-see place in Amsterdam. It’s a special product of the liberal & open society in Netherlands. But in the meanwhile it’s better to think about the dark sides of the sex industry under beautiful surface…
