The Amsterdam city council is facing questions after it voted to allow public sex in one of the city’s most famous parks, but required dog owners to keep their pets on a leash.Many dog owners are outraged that exhibitionist couples are allowed to romp freely in the Vondelpark, which attracts 10 million visitors a year, but their pooches are not.
But a council spokesman explained that, “When the dogs are not kept on a leash they pee on whatever they see and they cause a lot of nuisance for other visitors.”
On the other hand, public sex “isn’t a nuisance for the other visitors and gives a lot of pleasure to a certain group of people," explained Alderman Paul Van Grieken.
"There still are rules," he added. For instance, couples having sex “must take their garbage with them afterwards."
