Wow! Is all I can say. Just two women alone have slept with such a
huge number of random persons. On the average, that means they have
both slept with 20 men/day over the last 50 years! Isn't that a
record? That is the story of Identical twins Louise and Martine
Fokkens, who shot to fame earlier this year as stars of a documentary
charting their 50 year careers as prostitutes in Amsterdam.
Identical Twins Louise & Martine Fokkens Have Worked As Prostitutes In
Amsterdam For Fifty Years
Now the 70-year-old Dutch sisters are celebrating their retirement
with a tell-all book about their lives and the industry, and today
they admitted to This Morning hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip
Schofield that they have entertained 355,000 men between them.
Louise revealed that her bad arthritis meant that she had retired from
prostitution two years ago causing the telly hosts to exclaim: 'No
wonder you have arthritis. You must have very flexible hips!'
The Fokken Twins Started Working As Prostitutes In The 1960s
Louise, who became a prostitute aged twenty after a brief spell making
lampshades explained how she got in to the business:
'We didn't have enough money. 'My husband's friends said it was the
best way to make money so we decided to find out. I was 20/21 the
first time. At first it was a problem for our mother and father but
later we all lived normally with it.'
Martine, a mother-of-three who still works as a prostitute two to
three times a week said:
'My family told me about my sister while I was in the hospital having
my first baby. I didn't believe it but we talked about it and I loved
her, that's life.'
Martine then started working at the brothel as a cleaner but two years
later decided to join her sister as a prostitute after so many clients
mistook her for her identical twin.
Louise, who has four children and nine grandchildren said: 'I helped
her with the first client: told her what she had to do, what she
shouldn't do.'
Unsurprisingly the women are familiar faces around the red light
district, and over their five decades working in the sex industry
freed themselves from the control of their pimps, ran their own
brothel, and set up the first informal trade union for prostitutes.
But out of curiosity, who patronizes a 70 years old prostitute?
Certainly not in this climes! And you can imagine, it is the other
twin who got introduced to the business that is still 'enjoying' it –
call it late bl(gr)ooming! If it were you , would you be proud of
yourself ?
