How many prostitutes are working in Amsterdam?

The dimension of prostitution in Amsterdam

There isn't a clear answer for this question, because this business has several sectors which are not very transparent.The figures show that the prostitues without a licence are a substantial part of the total. This is mainly caused by prostitution at home.

With a licence	Minimum	Maximum
Window prostitution	1.090	3.380
Clubs/ privatehouses	820	820
Escortservice	600	660
Total	2510	4.860

Without a licence	Minimum	Maximum
Street prostitution	40	45
Prostitution at home	2.000	2.000
Escortservice	600	750
Remaining	?	?
Total	2.640	2.800

Is the presence of tourists appreciated here?

Yes, most definitely, though in some cases they have to
realise they are guests here. It’s nice for a guest to feel at
home, but in every house there are rules! Please have
consideration for the inhabitants of the Red Light District
and the people who work here, who desire respect for
who they are, and what they do.

Are there also men who stand behind the windows?

No, it was once attempted in 1995, but the project was
not able to be repeated. Male prostitution takes place in
clubs and on a small scale in the streets. This sector forms
about 10% of the market. For female clients, apart from
a few escort services, there is little on the market.

How much can you earn as a prostitute behind the windows?

It varies a lot and it’s of course not something that people
want to shout about from the rooftops! It depends on the
number of hours worked, the manner of working and presenting
oneself and a bit on your looks. The earnings vary
from 50 up to 1500 euro in a day.

What kind of men are the clients they have?

In 99.9% of all the cases the client of the average prostitute
is a man, and men come in all shapes and sizes so
you can’t generalize them so easily; except perhaps that
most of them have a regular partner. The nationalities of
clients in this neighbourhood are of course very diverse.
