Tips for practice cruising in Amsterdam?
Use condom
To avoid sexually transmitted diseases, always use a condom. When finished, remember to collect everything (condom wrappers, tissues, etc.) and leave the environment clean.
Leave your valuables at home
In many cruising areas there are malicious people who take the opportunity to steal valuables. Therefore, when you go to practise cruising, try not to carry money (only in shoes or wrist-wallet), jewelry, phones etc., and if possible try to be accompanied. Leave always you belongings at the coat check of a bar or club. You can store it safe over there.
Education and respect above all else
Not everyone in cruising areas is looking for the same thing as you. If they tell you NO, respect and do not disturb, just as you’d like to be respected.
Don’t hook up with minors
Remember that it is totally forbidden to have sex with children under 18. Before you do anything, check that the person you’re flirting with is of legal age.
Report the attacks
If at any time while you practice cruising you suffer some form of aggression, intimidation, theft or extortion, report it to the local authorities. Therefore, it is always good to get some information about your cruisingmate: name, description, license plate, etc. (more info at the bottom of this page).
