Appreciate what you have ...

[Amy Alison]

Thanks for your opinions guys !

Excepting someone's attitude who seems to try it hard to change this into a fight, calling me out for saying I have no respect when all I do was cite public information it's seems the opinions are indeed divided, which is interesting.

We are all different and as expected we have different needs. Some guys are a lot more into the thrill of being able to chose directly what they like, some guys like a more relaxed and personal approach etc.

The Red Light Districts, no denying, holds a great degree of fascination over any country that has none and Ireland is no exception. Heck, I would go visit the place myself, just to see what is all about (if you donate for the trip ).

There are other articles, more officials that seem to support the point made in the first article, at least the experience with "Selina from Pussyland". Like the more official Amsterdam advisory site:

http://www.amsterdam-advisor.com/ams...ostitutes.html

This more official article points out:

"Window prostitution in the Red Light District is more for simple, inexpensive quickies. If you have special wishes, be prepared to pay serious money for it, or take your business elsewhere."

This declaration is supported by the idea that escorting (the non-window like) is very popular in Amsterdam too and of course more expensive. If the red light district was widely covering all type of needs that a client may have, including total anonymity, escorting would have been a dead business, which is not the case.

What I like in countries like Netherlands, it's the way the choice is given to clients. You got a 50 in your pocket and lots of enthousiasm? Plenty of choices. You want full girlfriend experience and spending hours in a woman's company (including non sexual bits), plenty of choices. Those choices are easy to identify. Unlike Ireland, where if it wasn't for a review system (as flawed as it may be), the chance of finding a successful encounter for people with more diversified needs would be totally left to chance.

I still stand to what I said in my opening post here tho "appreciate what you have". Being an escort in Ireland for quite a few years, in my experience, the big majority of clients start with simpler needs and than evolve into seeking more. I'm not a moral authority to comment if that's good or bad, it's simply what it is. But with the review systems and forums, there is an increased chance of finding perfect encounters without spending an arm and a leg. Even the girls charging Red District prices here in Ireland, would normally offer a shower and a more diversified type of appointment.

And while the whole debate was supposed to be about Amsterdam, the hidden idea and the closing conclusion was indeed all about Ireland. Escorts here need to advertise. Need to take expensive photos and refresh them often. Need to work most of the time without any security nearby, at the mercy of people living nearby not to report their location. They very often have quiet days because unlike window work, they can't show themselves to the world. They sometimes need to build up an additional strong online persona, just to ensure they are memorable and have their unique selling point.

Anyhow, QED - appreciate what you have
