A Dutch park near Amsterdam has installed a series of signs which point out the areas where gay men regularly have sex.

Bosses in Slotervaart say it was easier to warn people where the gay sex takes place in the park, than try to stop it.

While having sex in public is against the law - even in Holland - they say it has been going on at De Oeverlanden park for so long is has become tolerated.

The park is said to be such a hotspot for gay sex that homosexuals from across the Netherlands and elsewhere in Europe go there to pick up sex partners.

Now information signs now point out what can be expected in different zones so they are not taken by surprise, so to speak.
