Two twin sister pensioners have decided to retire as prostitutes after half a century in the sex trade, having slept with 355,000 men between them.
Louise and Martine Fokkens, both 70, say they are finding it a ‘painful’ struggle to go on working in Amsterdam’s notorious ‘red light zone’.
They claim to be the oldest prostitutes in the Dutch city and last year starred in a documentary film named Meet The Fokkens.
Mother-of-four Louise admitted, though, that her arthritis means some positions are now ‘too painful’ – while mother-of-three Martine complained about a drop in custom.
Only one elderly man addicted to his weekly S&M sessions remains a regular, she said.
‘I couldn’t give him up. He’s been coming to me for so long it’s like going to church on a Sunday,’ Martine added.
Brothels were legalised in the Netherlands in 2000 – but the sisters say this ‘has not improved prostitutes’ lives’.
Martine said: ‘It is better for the pimps and the foreigners, but not for the Dutch girls.’
But the twins are confident their income from film rights will keep them solvent in the years of retirement ahead.

Louise and Martine Fokkens, both 70
So, the twins are the same age?
It scarcely seems possible.
Lets just do a hypothetical here. Lets say the guy is 50+ years old,( really any age). Now he’s got his wallet and walking down the red light way. Answer me this, why would he stop at these two and hand out the money? We can always dream of the 20 year old, but she might cost more than the guy has, but 70yrs old? I don’t believe they had any business. Even a 70 year old guy would want the 18 year old girl, that’s just the way men think. Even a nice looking 40 year old, but 70? I just don’t believe the story.
When I was in university many years ago, my Spanish professor told a story about how he was in Amsterdam years before. Walking down a street, he passed a shop and noticed that they were selling "Fokken Gin." He said that he could not pass on th eopportunity. He bought a bottle, when back to his hotel room... and drank the whole bottle!
Everybody is somebody’s fetish.
Dear Penthouse.....
There I was ....stationed at Soesterberg AFB near Utrecht and went window shopping in Amsterdam in 1978 and I thought I was seeing double.
I wonder....:o)
Having sex with either of them would probably be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway.
Those tires are missing a lot of tread.
A list of articles under the heading “more like this” appears directly below this story. The title of the very first article in the list?
“30 foot sinkhole swallows truck”
Like the guy who called a woman a two bit whore, and she hit him over the head with a bag of quarters?
Anyone stationed in Naples, Italy at the old AFSOUTH HQ can recall the “campfire girls”, roadside prostitutes who gathered around 55 gal drum fires during winter.
What a sordid existence.
Ah! Window shopping in Amsterdam, I wonder if they were located along the canal in the early years as they probably ended up several blocks away toward the end of their careers.
totally disgusting
At least they worked for a living. Not like the lazy people in our country over half on the dole. I don’t agree with their choices but it is legal in their country.
Who pays to sleep with their grandmother????
Is that Chris Farley and John Candy auditioning for "Meet the Fokkens"?
They make Elizabeth Taylor look pure.
Ironically, Madonna had to have c sections with her kids.
Not really ironic. If you’re nursing an old beater of a car to commute back and forth to work, you’re certainly not going to be dragracing it.
It took all the profits of the first 30 years to pay the guys of the last 20.
