When you think of Amsterdam, what image does it conjure? For most people the answers are fairly consistent: drugs and sex, or more specifically, smoking pot and hiring hookers. Or really, just sex. With that in mind, when you and your spouse find yourselves strolling through said famous Red Light District, what do you do? Well, when in Rome….

These doors lead into small, dark rooms where patrons pay a certain rate to watch a live solo, or sex show, and well, enjoy themselves. But what if w A quick look around revealed a toilet paper dispenser, of sorts, mounted on the wall for easy cleanup — how convenient, I thought.
Pro tip: go with coins instead of bills. So we stuck our money in said slot. My gaze firmly fixed upon the gyrating two-some, I stared in amazement and bewildered arousal.

There was a completely aghast, sheltered-looking Asian girl who seemed to be teetering somewhere between disgusted and aroused. You can pretty much bank on the fact that different people travel for different reasons.
