I was in Rotterdam a few weeks ago – basically just as a short city break rather than specifically a mongering trip – but I did spend some time exploring what, if anything, was on offer for pay-sex. There is not much recent information on here so maybe my experiences are worth sharing.
As everyone knows, there is no red-light district in Rotterdam. But there are several other options.
1) Massage parlours There are various massage parlours around the city, including several Thai ones. I tried these places:
Massage Salon 93. Located to the west of the city on 's-Gravendijkwal. The shop has lots of signage so easy to locate. At time of my visit - early evening - there were 4 ladies available – 3 were mature Latina women and one slightly younger Dutch woman. I chose the Dutch girl. Her name was Crystal, she had very pale skin and curly red hair. We went upstairs together. The room was dark with little twinkly lights in the ceiling, a large bed and a sink. It felt more like an RLD kamer than a massage parlour, really. I had paid 35 euros at the counter for a half-hour massage, plus 30 in the room to the girl – for getting naked, body-to-body and hand relief. Sex was also on offer from 50. The massage was quite relaxing – the girl was not a great masseuse but she did her best, working hard; then rubbed on some oils for a rather brief body-to-body session; I enjoyed playing with her medium-sized tits, and then she brought me off with her hand. Took a shower afterwards in the room next door. Slight fear at the back of my mind that I had entered somewhere dodgy and that when I came back my wallet and possessions would all have disappeared along with the girl – but no, she was still there and all was well and we had a bit more chat about Rotterdam vs Amsterdam while I got dressed. A basic kind of establishment – probably not the place to go for an authentic massage - but not bad if you are looking for sexual services from fairly mature ladies.
Tida Thai. Dordtselaan 81C. Walking distance from Zuidplein. Very discreet entrance, in an apartment block with a buzzer to press, so important that I had noted the address in advance. Up a steep flight of stairs and shown into the room by the house madame. Then she summoned the girls. They were all Thai, mature, all with large tits and quite attractive so I chose the one who seemed to have the liveliest personality and a nice smile. She was called Wa-Wa. I went for the 65 euros for an hour massage. I enjoyed the massage, able to relax with some music playing in the background. Actually the first time I’ve had a Thai massage so nothing to compare it against, but she seemed to know what she was doing. She was also chatty and smiley, and quite mischievous. As for additional services, she offered naked body-to-body with hand job for an extra 30, which I accepted (she also offered bj for 50, but I said no to that). She was working my back, down my legs, bit of touching of balls area, then I turned over and she concentrated on my cock for a while. Once that was over, went back to massaging arms, legs and neck until the hour was up. Shower before and after. Overall, a good experience for me.
2) Sex shops Some of the sex shops in Rotterdam also have working girls present.
Sexy Sex has shops in two locations – north and south. Northern one at Benthuizerstraat 45b; southern one at Putsebocht 61b. Its website suggests 2 or 3 women at each one. I made a trip by tram to the north. A small shop, with a Tabou sign in the window. Past the entrance there is a narrow little corridor broadening out into a room where the girls sit. There was a book on the counter, like a restaurant menu, listing the options and prices. The owner was parked at the back of the shop. Only one lady was present – the others either absent or busy. She was friendly enough but, although I often like an older woman, I really didn’t fancy this one. A little bit too mature. So I made some polite noises about maybe coming back later and exited pretty sharpish. Dropped into the Albert Heijn across the road to stock up on cheap beer and snacks, and returned to my hotel. Nonetheless, some of the girls on the Sexy Sex website look attractive enough so I’m sure its possible to have fun there sometimes.
Sex Shop Climax. Pretorialaan 17A. Another sex shop with working girls available. Towards the south, nearest metro stop is Rijnhaven. It is open 10 in the morning till 11pm each day. A small shop, with the women waiting, seated, in an area at the back. The male shop owner was a bit gruff but not unfriendly. He showed me the price list and gestured towards the girls for me to pick one. Again four women, some European blonde, some Latina, all mature. I went for the 50 euros for 30 mins option and chose Lucy, dark-haired, quite mature but slim, nice pert boobs, from Dominican Republic. She guided me upstairs. In the room there was a large bed, a tv showing porn, and a bath in the corner. Lucy gave me a little massage to start things off, she was pretty good at that, starting at the shoulders and soon working downwards. Turned over, then condom on for some oral, then going through several positions, finishing off in doggy. A bit of relaxing together and chat afterwards. Giggly, friendly, opinions about all sorts of things. A slight gap between her teeth which I found endearing. No rush at all. So not the youngest of working girls at this place but I had a good time there.
Sex Shop Rosie. Hilledijk 206B. As well as the shop this place promises a little porn cinema downstairs and some private rooms or booths for a liaison with one of the working girls. I’d heard rumours that it was shut down, but thought I would check it out anyway. When I went inside the shop the manageress greeted me and told me that, sadly, the cinema was closed and no girls were present. This was due to problems with flooding in the basement. She was hoping to re-open in a few weeks. Meanwhile, she asked if I knew about Sex Shop Climax as there were some sexy ladies to be found there. I smiled and said that I knew of the place, but without mentioning that I’d been balls-deep in one of their sexy ladies a few hours previously. Let’s hope this venue does re-open.
3) Privéhuizen As a dedicated RLD man for the last decade or more, one of my objectives on this trip was to gain new experiences by trying out a privé or two in the Netherlands.
Privé Lust. Lange Hilleweg 190-A This place is walkable distance from Zuidplein. My visit was on a Saturday evening. The front door was open, headed up the stairs, then rang the bell to be let into the privé itself. The madame was business-like, spoke good English, explained the prices etc. The girls – only four of them - came in and lined up, all reasonably attractive although much more down-to-earth looking than their photos on the website. I chose Jane, a black girl with long curly hair and a curvy figure. She was for me the sexiest-looking of the girls available but turned out to be a poor choice. She tended to be passive, smelled of cigarette smoke and was a bit of a clock watcher. She did liven up when I went down on her and I enjoyed the little shudders that went through her body each time I tongued her clit. But otherwise not a great experience – she seemed to be doing as little as possible. Don’t get me wrong - it was OK, she had a reasonable go at sucking me off, we went through several positions, and she did have a nice body. But I was expecting a little more from what was my first experience in a Dutch privé. As it was, I was glad I’d only paid for 30 minutes and not the full hour. Took a shower and got out of there. The place itself seemed fine, just made a poor choice of girl. There are usually more than four girls available, I think, especially on weekdays. Prices quoted were 30 minutes, € 70; 45 minutes, € 100; one hour for €140. Open from 11am – 10pm weekdays and from 12 noon until 10pm weekends.
Hotel California. Nieuwe Binnenweg 171. The most down-market of Rotterdam’s privéhuizen, this place has very mixed reviews over on the Dutch site so as I headed along Nieuwe Binnenweg I was thinking to myself - this could be Heaven or this could be Hell. It is a big building (plenty of room at the Hotel California) and once inside, it is a little shabby but seemed tidy enough and functional for purpose. No introductory line-up here, the girls are lounging on sofas in a large room and you go in through the sliding door and make your pick. Then pay at the counter. Bargain basement prices – 35 euros for 20 minutes.
When I visited there were about 6 girls, all mature-looking i.e over 30. I selected a curvy blonde called Jessica who said she was Spanish. She was wearing a black bra and tight denim shorts and I enjoyed the view as I followed her up the stairs. In the room she was lively and charming and eager to please. She knew how to deliver a good (covered) bj, we spent a bit of time with her on top, then gave her a good pounding in missionary position. So I managed to have some fun here, it was perhaps better than I was expecting. Hotel California is open every day from 2pm - any time of year, you can find it here.
Cristal Privé. Wolphaertsbocht 323B This is another one in the Zuidplein area of the city. The house madame was friendly and informative. There were only 2 girls available she explained (this was early on a Sunday afternoon, shortly before I was due to leave the city), and one of them was busy; 2 more were coming in later. I would have liked more choice but it turned out well enough. The available girl was called Lucia - slim, Dutch, blonde, not my usual type but very attractive. A charming lady, deep kissing and a bit of a GFE experience, nice blow job too. A good ending to my time in Rotterdam. Prices here are 15 minutes: € 50; 30 minutes: € 70; 45 minutes: € 100; 60 minutes: € 120. Open every day from 12. Usually about 6-8 girls available, I believe.
There are several other privéhuizen in Rotterdam, including Unlimited Privé and Karin’s Home. Most of these places advertise on the Kinky site and there are reviews on the Hookers board.
4) Strip clubs On 's-Gravendijkwal towards the west of the city, there are a couple of long-established strip clubs facing each other on opposite sides of the road. Club OQ and Club Lido. I didn’t have time to check out either of them but both have got websites with further information. Both charge an entry fee of 25 euros which entitles you to some ‘free’ drinks once inside. As well as stripping and lap dances, I believe the clubs have rooms upstairs where you can take a girl that you wish to spend some private time with. As for what services are on offer, and how much they cost - who knows?
5) Red light districts in other cities Train services are pretty good in the Netherlands so it is easy enough to visit RLDs in other cities. The nearest is Den Haag. From Rotterdam Centraal the train took less than 20 minutes to get to Den Haag HS Station and from there it is a short walk to either Geleenstraat or Doubletstraat. It is about 5 years since I was last in Den Haag so I was interested to see whether it had changed. The Geleenstraat RLD seemed surprisingly quiet with a lot of empty windows - this was about 7pm on a Friday evening. Doubletstraat was busier and seemed much the same as last time I was there – compact and sleazy (in a good way). Even recognised some of the girls working. But there is plenty of choice and some of the girls were very attractive. I chose Isabella, a Latina girl, maybe late 20s in age. Can’t remember the exact location, one of the rooms at about no 34, I think. She was not overly welcoming. But if a sexy girl gets naked and does her job for 30 euros, what’s there to complain about? I enjoyed squeezing her arse and playing with her sweet little tits. Sex was fine too, a reasonable blow job and some time with her on top. So, as always, Doubletstraat delivers if all you want is a fairly basic level of service and certainly very cheap.
This was my first visit to Rotterdam so I’m very much a beginner rather than an expert on the city, but I hope the info will be some use for others who happen to find themselves there.
