Rumors of Escort Rush at NATO Summit: The Facts in a Row
You’ve probably seen the headlines go by. “Escorts are working overtime!” “Massive demand for sex workers during NATO summit!” Sounds like a wild story, and media like De Telegraaf, WNL and Hart van Nederland feasted on it. The picture was clear: while world leaders talked about serious matters, their delegations would be having fun.
But what is really true about these juicy stories?
A Known Phenomenon
Does this sound familiar to you? You may be right. It’s a classic: at every major event, be it a World Cup or a summit in Davos, stories pop up about thousands of sex workers flooding the place. Nine times out of ten, those figures turn out to be grossly exaggerated after the fact, based more on gut feeling than facts.
The Reality in The Hague
Anyway, back to the NATO summit. What is really happening there? Well, it seems rather the opposite.
A quick glance at Kinky.nl, the largest advertising site for sex work, actually shows fewer ads than normal around this time. In fact, aid organization SHOP, which helps sex workers, confirms: most girls are actually quieter. Which makes sense, since the entire city is on lockdown. Just try getting to a client in a high-security zone.
And that story about an escort at the American delegation at Huis ter Duin? You can take that with a large grain of salt. The escort agencies themselves call such plans unthinkable.
What We Say
“But the escort agencies themselves said it was busy, right?” True, but we put it in perspective. In our opinion, the crowds are comparable to other major events. Think international sporting events or trade shows. So business as usual, not “massive craziness.”
An appointment in a high-security hotel? “No one is going to risk getting caught,” is the sober conclusion. Far too many potholes.
Conclusion
So, to recap: those “massive” crowds and “overtime” are greatly exaggerated. Yes, the luxury escort services pick up a grain, just like any other big event. But for the rest of the industry, the NATO summit is rather bad for business.
So it seems mostly that we are dealing with another sandwich monkey story that was just a little too delicious not to tell.
If you want an escort in Amsterdam or in the rest of the Netherlands to come to your home or a hotel you are in the right place for all escort services.
