To Rebel Monger/M.M.,

This is a bit off-topic, but I'd like to clarify something. Prostitution is illegal in the state of Nevada only in areas with 150,000+ population. Thus, prostitution is...

One thing I forgot to mention: Someone wrote here in a previous article to watch for cabbies who will charge as much as U.S.$50.00 to go from the airport to downtown. I doubt this is true; the price...

This report was delayed due to difficulty returning to the U.S.A. caused by hurricanes. I am now home, fondly recalling San Jose and the...

Hey Gents,

I just found a pretty decent web resource, which lists a number of the bars/clubs discussed in this topic. It's nice, because many of the places are listed with telephone numbers and/or...

Really A Nice Guy, Oh great! You're enjoying deep, wet kisses and are suffering a bad cold! Well, so much for smooching Laura/Frances at Eros. No wonder many girls refuse DFK; cold medications...

Regarding Cialis and Viagra:

I have had excellent results with Cialis, unlike Ace below, and the best part is that I got it free. If you have a regular physician, samples are readily available....

Question for all:

Who so eloquently described the grid layout of SJO (below), thank you. I finally figured the layout after numerous forays onto the Internet and the kind replies of others on this...

Holy shit, Plum!

Well, I have been fantasizing about a trip to C.R. for the last three months. I have read this Forum exhaustively, made plans, asked directions etc. After reading your report, I...

Greetings brothers who are either currently in San Jose or who soon will travel there.

I have a good idea as to how we can have the directions to the best (and worst) mongering places at hand. If...
