You won't believe this: 1 in 6 Dutch people is giving sex as a gift today

Haven't received a teddy bear with a letter, chocolates, and a bouquet yet? Then something very different might be waiting for you tonight. What turns out? One in six Dutch people leaves the red roses as they are and ‘gives’ sex as a Valentine's gift today. Or you might be the giver, that could also be the case. Something with Sex and the City, sushi, and a long table, just mentioning a side street.

Valentine's and commercial nonsense are often mentioned in the same breath. Research from Radar shows that 73 percent of the Dutch are not really into the Valentine's race. And of course, that's as true as a Milka cow, but I can really melt from those men who suddenly become very romantic with a Cupid arrow in their back. For example, on Tuesday afternoon, I was at a nail salon with a candy pink theme, when suddenly a fifty-five-year-old man walks in to buy a Valentine's gift voucher for €100. ‘From Geert, for Petra’ (I could just read that he wrote it down). Sweet, sweeter, sweetest.

So it can go two ways later: either your gift is between the sheets, or the sheets are the result of a mint green bag (no, not Ladueée). Think of something with twinkling contents that you were allowed to unbox today.

Cupid is doing his job, just watch.
