I'm gonna comment about my experience in amsterdam, well technically the hague.
I come from a sex repressed culture(arab), so when I got the chance to go there, I took it. I've had a girlfriend, but because of family and religious reasons, we never hooked up or even kissed.
I went to I think doubletstraat in the hague, I was 18. I saw a beautiful arab or latina girl, and I went an asked her for the price. She said 25euros. I asked how much with kissing, and she said 35. I said thanks and returned for some reason. I remember sitting on a bench on the beautiful summer day and thinking about if I should do it or not. I said fuck it, who knows when I will be able to come back here again, and went back in. For some reason, she has closed the curtains and told me to go away.
I ambled around, found a MILF type woman. She wasn't very attractive, but her cabin smelled sexy, and she's had nice eyes, and I was raging horny. So I said fuck it, and went in. She didn't offer a kiss, though she did let me lick her clit(I know, I'm crazy). I told her I was a virgin. She was very nice to me. Told me I was hot. Made small talk. Gave me a blowjob. I fucked her for a whole minute(haha), and changed positions to doggy. In one thrust I was done.
I went to the same street again two more times in the same week. I went to the same one the next time, lasted 10 minutes. She was impressed. She said in her broken english "Second time more good". The third time I went there I was looking for the same girl I saw the first time, but this short petite and extremely my type latina just randomly asked me how old I was. I told her I was 18, and she started giggling. Very cute. I asked her the price for kissing, she said 25+50. I looked at my wallet, I had 90, and only a few spare euros to go back home. I said okay. She said if I paid her the full 90 we could fuck for thirty minutes. I looked at her and thought there was no way I was going to last thirty minutes with her, so we negotiated to kissing with sex for 15 minutes for two times.
She was very lively. She kissed me. She caressed my hair. She said she liked my face. I was holding her hand with our fingers interlocked and she said I was romantic. I have a big penis, and she commented about how it looked funny on me. I had already masturbated before coming here, but I still came in a minute the first time. In the second round, I lasted the complete time, and there was even a time where I could even see her get some pleasure. The way she kissed me was so sweet, and she smelled amazing.
All in all, with the both the girls, I had an exceedingly amazing experience. I know that they do rush you to come, but that wasn't really a problem for me since I was new. Living in such a sex repressed country, I'm not sure when I will get laid again. Having sex completely took the mystery out of sex, and I actually think about it more realistically and have been able to focus on other priorities in my life until I move to a western country where dating women is more of a possibility.
I know having sex with someone you love for the first time has it's own merit, but I think that the media hypes up losing the v card to such an extent, that people who are in odd situations like I am tend to feel like we're completely missing out on something. Losing my virginity was the only way I could know that it's not such a big deal. And the easiest way to do that was to see a prostitute in a strange land.
Tl;dr Lost all my firsts to prostitutes at 18. 10/10 would do again.
