Is it wrong to think that Amsterdam Red Light District is wrong (weird sentence, i know)
When people talk or joke about that neighborhood, most of us imagine a bunch of pervs who are desperate to get laid… Are we wrong about them? no offense
Please don’t respond with hating messages 
thx

To be honest, if you walk there during the daytime then it’s quite tame. Amsterdam’s RLD is actually located in a very beautiful part of the city and when you walk though there enough times then it just isn’t a big deal at all
At night it is a different story, but it’s not the case that it’s full of pervs wanting to get laid, not at all…….. it’s actually full of tourists checking out the area to see for themselves what’s going on!.
Yes there are women in windows and yes of course they have customers (otherwise they wouldn’t be there just for ‘window shopping’ purposes, and yes of course you can call them pervs, but reading up then actually many blokes that visit the prostitutes there are not ‘desperate’ but just want sex from a prostitute and simple as that, pay for what they want, get it and move on, no strings attached
Again, there are different perspectives to this . I can fully understand why people might have the ‘yuk’ feeling about it, but the way I view it is that virtually every country in the Western world has prostitutes because there are always going to be customers. So what do you do? Ban it, make it illegal and sweep it neatly under the carpet proclaiming it’s illegal so that is going to prevent it (whilst in the meantime some poor desperate souls are stuck touting on the street putting themself at risk of abuse, or sexual diseases & a total lack of personal safety with a massive risk of traffiking? Or do you legalise it, provide the possibility for a secure location, regulated, testing available with a lower (not zero but lower) risk of trafficking etc?
It’s actually an interesting for vs against if you read up beyond the personal & moral issues. I would never be a prostitute but actually the RLD serves a purpose and when you look at it in this terms then you start to get a different perspective
The Red Light District is actually quite a wonderful and attractive neighborhood. It contains some of the highest priced real estate in Amsterdam. It didn’t seem to me as though it were a “bunch of pervs who are desperate to get laid”. The Dutch have a different attitude about prostitution. By legalizing it drives away much of the crime and unsafe sex that thrives in the states with prostitution.
