Red light districts tend to be synonymous with female prostitution. However, this definitely isn’t all you’ll be able to find in red light districts! In this thought-provoking exploration, we’ll shed light on the history, culture, and intriguing dynamics that make these districts so captivating.
Red light districts, sometimes also called pleasure districts, are the parts of a city where you’ll find a high concentration of sex-related businesses. This includes prostitution, strip clubs, erotic shops, and adult theatres. Many red light districts have world-renowned reputations and draw a lot of tourists in as part of the huge rise in sex tourism that has occurred over the past few decades.
Not every pleasure district is home to actual prostitution in cities and countries where prostitution is technically illegal. Many law enforcement officers turn a blind eye to prostitution that does occur, and of course, there are other things you’ll find at a pleasure district.
Red light districts come from the fact that red lights were often used to signpost brothels. According to author Paul Wellman, the term probably originates from Dodge City in Kansas, USA. The area was home to a well-known prostitution district in the American Old West times, during the 19th century. At this time, sailors returning to Amsterdam from the sea and looking for relief could identify women who were available for pleasure by the red lanterns they would carry.
These women were often poverty-stricken and did not have access to proper hygiene. It is said that the red light from the lanterns would disguise any boils or imperfections on their faces. As time went on, these red lanterns evolved. They became, similarly to in the USA example above, red lights to signify a brothel. The areas close to the main harbor became known as the red light districts.
People want to make an income and to support their families and governments want to boost their economy. Money. It all comes down to money. Sex sells.
Red light districts can bring a significant amount of money into an area. If it is legal then this money is subject to taxation. The money raised from taxes can be reinvested into public services such as education or healthcare.
The reality is that whilst some people may not like the sex scene at a pleasure district, if they live in the local area then it likely benefits them. It’s quite strange to think that selling sex can help to build a new hospital or school, but it’s true!
Whilst many of us may choose not to discuss our private business in public, believe it or not, the red light districts and wider sex tourism industry is worth millions of dollars to the world economy. The sex tourism industry there contributes 5% of GDP and revenue is approximately 1.1 billion Euros each year!
Sex sells and pleasure districts make money for the local economy. After all, it’s money that makes the world go around.
