Amsterdam’s Red Light District will be opening up it’s doors on Wednesday 1st July but there are a few rules sex workers will have to abide by, such as wear gloves and avoiding oral sex. NO ORAL SEX??? Aren’t blowjobs like 90% of their income?
The brothels were originally due to open on 1st September, but the Netherlands prime minister Mark Rutte brought the date forward so I guess that makes it an essential service. Rutte also made a statement comparing sex work to hairdressing. I mean I guess they are in contact with another type of hair.
Sex workers are also expected to avoid oral sex and wear gloves but let’s be honest, who’s going to be doing that? Once that door closes and the Johnny is on, what is the big problem?! Wash your hands and suck some dick.
The sex workers all welcomed the announcement as most of them have been unable to access financial support from the government due to being a sex worker. Felicia Anna, president of the union of sex workers in Amsterdam's red light district, had this to say:
Quote:Everyone is very happy with the news that we can finally reopen. We have no more money.
It’s pretty shitty that they aren’t entitled to financial support. They pay their taxes like everyone else and should be given the same support. Anyway, who's up for a trip to Amsterdam?!
