Damm I forgot. Thanks for reminding me.
Your welcome.
It is. I used to go there all the time back in the late 80's/early 90's for the prostitution. It's pretty much legal over there. There's a lot of red light districts in Amsterdam you can visit that just exist out in the open. It's great. I stopped after a little bit once I found out about the legal consequences this could have but I still look back at it fondly.
Special education class
Back when I was 18 I wanted nothing more then to be a nurse. I didn't have much going for me in terms of qualifications so becoming a normal nurse was out of the question so I decided to become a nurse in the military. I thought it would be easier and I would get to travel the world.
I signed up and it turned out I was wrong. I sucked at basic training and following instructions. They did a background check on me and having gone to S.E classes wasn't a good look. They also did a psychological evaluation on me and it turns out I was a "deviant sociopath" so that wasn't a good look either.
After a little bit I had to come to terms with the fact that I would never be a nurse. It was heartbreaking to do that. I had worked hard for so long just to be one and it really hurt to understand that no matter how hard I tried nothing would work.
Do you regret it?
"Did your past career affect your future jobs?"
Not when I was young. When you could just hide such information by not telling anyone. I suppose now-a-days it would get in your way if you wanted to be a teacher or a nun.
"Was it something you told romantic partners?"
Yeah, none of them seem to mind.
"Did you ever tell family members, at the time or later?"
When I was a stripper I confessed to my sister when she asked me what my career was. She was understanding and my brother found out later. Neither of them seem to mind and now we both think it's funny.
"Were you ever worried about people finding out about your career?"
Not really. It wouldn't be ideal with impolite company but when it's friends and mutuals then I'm fine with it.
VIP rooms are for the fancy clubs. Not the dive bar one I worked in.
My song was 'If you think I'm sexy' by Rod Stewart. Funk and soul was pretty common as well as some disco. I remember hearing 'Ring my bell' by Anita Ward, 'You sexy thing' by Hot Chocolate, 'Twist and Shout' by The Beatles and 'She's a lady' by Tom Jones a lot.
It was fun. I Got to drink on the job and hang out with hot girls. How could you ask for more?
For me it was more of a personal thing. I had known about the place for a little before hand and became obsessed with the lovely dancers there. Thank god they didn't have HR I would have been in so much trouble. One in particular I couldn't get enough of. I still think about her all these years later. She was such a sweetheart.
Acting interested did the trick.
I don't know if they specifically catered to women. All I know is that some where willing to do it with women and others weren't.
