I walked through the Red Light District twice, both at night. There were lots of women in the windows, many of them very lovely, some not so much. They often tapped on the glass to get my attention, or even opened their door invitingly. After walking through, my friend said he'd never been hit on by so many cute girls in his life. It was a weird experience.
I'm uncomfortable with prostitution. It seems too much like slavery. I'm sure some of the women are college girls with expensive tastes and a wild streak, but most of them must be forced into this, either through coercion or desperation. Whatever the formal arrangement (I gathered that the women rent the windows for ~150 euros per night, and charge ~50 euros for 15 minutes), much of the business seems to be controlled by organized crime.
