If someone told you that they wanted to/have gone to this place you would be very suspicious of them. For me it's Theiland and The Philippines. Nothing good happens there.

I hear the Netherlands is a hotspot for prostitution. Kinda like the Theiland of Europe.

Unless you're in Europe that's even more sex-touristy than Thailand. Nobody crosses continents for windmills, but lots of people like Buddhist architecture, beaches and sticky rice.

It's regulated prostitution in the Netherlands, at least, and sex work is work.

It is. I used to go there all the time back in the late 80's/early 90's for the prostitution. It's pretty much legal over there. There's a lot of red light districts in Amsterdam you can visit that just exist out in the open. It's great. I stopped after a little bit once I found out about the legal consequences this could have but I still look back at it fondly.

Interesting. Are there workers that cater specifically to women (going by your username)?
