Councillors agreed that heterosexual and gay couples could have sex in the Vondelpark which has ten million visitors a year.
But they promised to clampdown on dog owners who let their pets walk in the park without a lead.
One dog owner protested: "As long as the park has existed, we've been allowed to let our dogs run freely. It's outrageous that we will be punished from now on but public sex won't."
A spokesman for the council which runs the southern part of Amsterdam said: "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."
Alderman Paul Van Grieken defended the decision to allow public sex in the park from September.
"Why should we oppose a rule on something you can't oppose a rule on. Moreover it isn't a nuisance for the other visitors and gives a lot of pleasure to a certain group of people," he said.
"There still are rules," he added. "They must take their garbage with them afterwards and never have intercourse near the playground. The sex must be limited to the evening hours and night."
Too liberal or acceptable?

Sex is a natural thing but for most only when its some skinny bint and her boyfriend hammering away at it.
If it's any one whose even slightly over a size 10 then it would be disgusting.
I can't see why they are letting one group of people do what they want but penalizing another.
All very wierd for such an open and otherwise relaxed part of the world.

Sinbadp, Vondelpark after dark is not a good place to be. When I stayed right by the park a few years ago, not only were there cannabis plants openly growing here and there, after dark it gets full of druggies, some of whom die there (it was a regular thing apparently)
Anyway, no matter how much I wanted sex, I think I'd leave it.

'Sex is a natural thing' - so what? So is defecating, but you wouldn't want me taking in a dump in sight of your picnic spot - it would put you right off your scotch egg.
Having said that, I agree with Quinlad's post. I'd rather have people humping in the bushes at night rather than dogs running loose crapping everywhere and snapping at my kids.
