You're right, Amsterdam it certainly is not, but with a little awareness of the scene you can get whatever you want there.
Montpelier and Abour Hill areas were never that great, and the campaign you refer did nothing to help, in as much as it virtually killed-off the scene, but on the other side is where you get the action.
As recently as last week I sat there for about 15mins with no sign of action, debating whether to pack it in, when eye-contact was made with a very nice CLEAN little blond girl. She passed by, went around the corner and returned. A very discreet nod from her and I leaned over and opened the door. She asked 80euros for a suck and I agreed. However, she sucked so brilliantly I offered her another 120euros to come back to the hotel for an hour, which she did.
Apart from making 4 or 5 annoying phone calls to her mam and friends explaining her late return she did everything that was asked of her, and a lot more than I'd actually expected.
So yes, the scene is dead. A lot of the junkie hookers are dead too. But there are some nice young girls there who are not really full-time professionals, but who jump at the opportunity of making a quick couple hundred quid, and have very few limits.
With Xmas approaching they should become even more plentyful, so just go and check it out. But be discreet!
