The Girls in the Windows For those of you who haven t been to Amsterdam here are a few basics Especially if you re from the States you might not be familiar with this kind of legal sex work In the U S it usually takes place in clubs located in remote areas like the ones in Nevada In Amsterdam it s almost like street sex work but not quite They don t actually have as many traditional brothels as you d find in Belgium Germany or Austria Instead the women up to 200 of them each night stand behind closed windows with their curtains open You walk by on the street and they try to catch your attention and invite you inside An important detail the windows are lit with red lights if a woman is working there If the light is blue you re welcome to go in as well but keep in mind that the person is transgender so don t be surprised The women are self-employed contractors meaning they only pay rent for their windows and don t share their earnings with anyone Interestingly this style women standing in windows has inspired many European clubs which have copied the concept Now it s referred to as the Amsterdam style of club setting including in our own club This means that in clubs the women stand in the doorways of their rooms rather than sitting at the bar or in a lounge area as is typical in traditional clubs The main difference is that in clubs it s all under one roof while in Amsterdam it s essentially an open-air business
