Cash crunch hits Amsterdam's red-light district
May 27 10:34 PM US/Eastern

As the credit crunch keeps away sight-seers and business travellers, the owners of Amsterdam's brothels, escort agencies and sex shops all grumble that those visitors who still do indulge in the pleasures of the flesh are increasingly tight-fisted.

Eva, a 25-year-old prostitute in the city's red-light district, gestures angrily in the direction of a rival who has slashed her rates as the economic crisis emboldens sex tourists to haggle.

"People like her make it very difficult for the rest of us," scowled the leggy, blonde Estonian as she dragged on a cigarette in skimpy black-and-white lingerie, all the while posing seductively for men passing the window in which she flaunts her talents.

"Some of the girls are now doing it for 30 euros (about 42 dollars). My price is still 50 euros, but the men are playing us off against each other. Some want to pay only 20 euros," she told AFP.

Eva is not the only one complaining.

I'm not complaining, the working girls are. They are getting fucked! In more ways than one.
