Amsterdam sex shops

The sex shops in Amsterdam are located mostly in or around the Red Light District, and in the vicinity of the Rembrandtplein. Since the Dutch see sex one the most usual aspect of life and they are ready to accept many different life-styles, there are no moral undertones around the sex industry, with only one condition attached – these places are not meant for minors but only for adults.
