Window Shopping

I duly followed everyone's advise, you have to do some window shopping when in Amsterdam. Like other Nordic countries, Netherland people get off work really on time, I had some daylight after work and I set out walking around.

The redlight district is not as seedy as I imagined (or the area of old city is equaly seedy and dirty everywhere, you sort of get numb. My Tokyo sense of clean street subsided in a week). It is hiding inside the narrow alley ways between canels. People strolling around (most of them are tourists), bouncers hanging around (funny they all look the same, with the same body build across countries, culters and cities), peeping show and sex stores scatter around. When walking past one of the windows, a man walked straight into the door, I clearly heard the girl inside greeted him "How are you doing", as if he is one of her friends, no remorse, it is just a business. Let's make it as pleasant as possible.

I think sexiality has a lot of elements in it. The main driving force is desire, to want and to be wanted. That consequent emotions are passion, fullness beyond desire and satiety. It is more than just 2 opposite sex stripping naked and tangling together. Perhaps for men it is harder to (or it is not necessary) to identify the difference.
