Mother-of-four Louise, said that arthritis now makes some intimate positions “too
painful.” And Martine, who has three children, admits that she finds it hard to
attract punters – though one elderly man still has his weekly sadomasochism
session.
“I couldn’t give him up. It’s like going to church on a Sunday for him,” she
said. The pair were the subject last year of a documentary ‘Meet The Fokkens’
and they have written a book called ‘The Ladies Of Amsterdam’.
Both, who dress in identical red clothes, became prostitutes before the age of
20 to survive financially after escaping violent relationships. They now look
back on the “golden years” before Holland legalised prostitution in 2000.
