Rita

Rita lives in the Jordaan near the Noordermarkt and reaches most of the western canal ring on foot. Her guests are often visitors who walked the whole ring in a loop and came back with aching calves. She favours tantra, patient and breath-led, and books it for ninety minutes when the evening allows. Italian and English are hers to choose between. At twenty-seven she is expressive, warm and quick to laugh, and she names her limits calmly before anything else happens.

Rita decides which bookings she takes and may decline any of them; she sets the limits for what a session includes, says what they are, and may end a visit at any point, as the terms set out.
