Sosua Reports

[Yanqui69]

You go grab a guy standing outside of Home Depot to work on your house. Something goes missing out of your house or later you figure out the work is not done properly. What can you do about it?

You go to a place that is licensed and bonded and has to answer to someone and select them to work on your house. If the shit ain't done right or something goes awry then you have recourse (or at least better chances than you would have with the fly by night freelancer.).

Good analogy, Mr E. (Note to all; "analogy" is not what you think).

I've never beeninside, only passed by. How does it work? ARe there free lancers inside that you take out? Or do you take the waitresses and bartenders and pay a fee?

No freelancers, just "hostesses" and waitresses. Not all of them will play for pay but most will. Drinks are expensive but bottle service is reasonable.

Blue Ice Piano Bar also, if you want to take a girl out of there before closing you "tip" the DJ 1000 pesos.

I wasn't promoting the practice, I live here and have no need for Pica Flor, Blue Ice or street putas. But these places serve a purpose for the weekend warrior that has plenty of money and little time. I have friends that are well heeled that roll into Sosua for 5 days or so and want to hit the ground running and go straight to both Pica Flor and Blue Ice. I on the other hand just text one of my Puerto Plata FB chicas and they meet me at a restaurant or I pick them up at the public taxi stand in Sosua. I do enjoy going to these places though, BB's and FOD too, always great places to buy a bottle, party and dance with the chicas etc.

Mongers come from all backgounds, financial, marital, ages, with different needs. Single tourists, weekend warriors, from all over the world, and even live here!

How they satisfy their own particular needs is up to them. Sosua provides great choices, just like a giant restaurant buffet. (I just happen to prefer home cooked Dominican food with and a good bottle of wine)

As I keep saying, it's all good.

I, and the guys I hang with have no need of places like BB, PF, FOD, but I have strogly advocated for their place on the Sosua scene. I have never even been inside the casino, but appreciate another fun option in town.

I even took folks to task here for disclosing too much of the explicit financial arrangement between the owners and their putas, of places like PF and BB, which are on the very periphery of the local "no pimping" laws, because I'd hate to see those options closed down.

There's no one size fits all, and denigrating another's choices is a waste of time. Likewise, third hand anecdotal reports about what "some other guys" are doing, I just ignore. Likewise rumours from "intel sources on the street" that can't even tell folks whether main bars like Rumba or Passions is open or closed.

Personal experience Reports from mongers on the ground are the most informative, from street hoe rip offs to GFE heaven, and judging from the many complaints about BB, PF, FOD etc, they too can not gurantee satisfaction for all, either. Some of their women are on the stroll anyway, after their shift.

As I said before, stop obsessing about what "other guys" are doing, and do your own thing and tell us about it.

Some of us are very happy with our own choices, and I see no need to snipe at, or denigrate those that are!

[Mr Enternational]

In Sosua there so many free lancers you are on easy street. However some guys preferr to have pimps and madames to set them up. There may be a security issue because you can get some wild freelancers if you are not careful. I have yet to see a huge difference in performance or quality in the casas. My challenge in Sosua is deciding which hot girl to pick.

If a man has money, and in his pursuit of happiness he wants enjoy his money how he likes with prostitutes leave him.

To enjoy his money, some people want to be judge and jury about other people spending.

[Manizales911]

Some of us would never support middle men, pimps, or "providers", on principle.

We have enough of that shit back home.

Long live free, open and independent hookers!

You have obviously never heard of a bar called Passions. At weekends guys were in line to pay bar fines (called "salidas" in the DR). There were other places too. Not my style, but if guys' time was limited and they had fat wallets, it made sense. There is still Elvis' place just outside the center, where guys pay substantial bar fines, and if Passion were to reopen it would do a roaring trade again.

I did hear of Passions, and I used to take rank newbies there for the fun, the beer and the scenery!

Still, "I have personally never known anybody to pay a bar fine". - True!

Just not our game!

To each is own, right?

[Mr Enternational]

Even with Passions, in the old days, all you had to do is get the chica's digits and before or after her shift spend time with her, at a cheaper rate.

That goes for anywhere that has such a system. I especially do not understand people that repeatedly go back through the same middle man when they already have been with the girl.

[Boriman]

In all my years in Sosua. I have personally never known anybody to pay a "bar fine"...

I recall in the old days that the bars around Europa Hotel would have a salida. The problem was, as Oakie says, is that there is so much freelance action that this model never worked in Sosua. Even with Passions, in the old days, all you had to do is get the chica's digits and before or after her shift spend time with her, at a cheaper rate. Can't tell this to Peter, though, the owner of Passions because then he would get on the chica. Passions had a nice ambience but the chicas were overpriced. After midnight, the prices used to go down.

I don't pay anything from the bars. Just read my post. I was writing what other people are paying. I don't pay out 1000 p ($20) tips. It was a range to inform what guys pay.

LOL. Why would you write an entire report on what you ASSUME most guys are doing? Nobody that I know that lives in AC or goes there operates in the manner that you describe. And I doubt most guys are going to go half way around the world to only hunt chicks in a disco after midnight as you do yourself.

And if you can't tell a woman from a man then the simple thing to do would be to ask them. Maybe you just have bad luck. Most chicks that I meet on the internet in AC are trying to come over before you can type hello to them. And a lot of chicks won't even talk if you are not in the city because they don't want THEIR time wasted. And considering internet hookups, it's not like AC is just jumping with tons of other things to do during the daytime that you are going to miss out on something.
