Sosua Reports

Chica proof room?

I can't offer too much advice there given my limited experience in the DR. However, that limited experience did teach me one thing: don't leave anything in sight that you don't want the girl to leave with. The first girl I brought up to my room down in BC, surveyed the room with her eyes, locked onto a set up of earbuds that were still in the plastic package on the dresser. She picked them up, ran her hands along them and gave this sad look, and I knew what she wanted. She hadn't taken her clothes off and already she was wanting to be gifted. Fortunately for her, she did a very good job for 1000 DOP. I let her leave with the earbuds, which only cost me $8 and made her happy.) I think anytime you can have an hour of good sex and make the girl happy for $30 USD total, you've gotten a deal and a half).

Other girls I brought up to that room, also did a quick visual of the premises. When one decided she wasn't leaving without what she thought she should be getting (she said she was not a prostitute and she just wanted a boyfriend), she started looking around the room frantically and demanded "Do you have anything here you can give me?" No, now take the money I gave you ($1000 DOP) and get out.

Oh, and I encountered two girls on that trip who told me they were not prostitutes, they were just looking for a boyfriend. I have to think this happens more often than you might expect, given I encountered it twice on the same weekend (once in SD and once in BC). Whether or not you want to play their half ass game is up to you. But back to your question, I think you should secure your room with any woman, in any country. However, Dominicanas seem to be especially keen on scoping out your belongings.

I live here now but in the three years I was only "tripping" I relied on ATMs. If you do the same I would recommend:

1) Advise your bank well before you leave. First World banks are rightly suspicious of the DR, one of the most corrupt and incompetent nations on earth, and might block your card if they unexpectedly see sizable sums being frequently withdrawn here. You might want to nominate a maximum amount to be withdrawn to protect your account.

2) Bring at least two cards in case one ceases to function for any reason.

3) Draw money during banking hours inside the bank at the teller counter. You will need your passport. This is safer than doing so on the street, you will not be in danger of having your card cloned, and you can ask for a selection of small bills and change (which can be elusive otherwise, leading to over-paying). You might want to write down a "shopping list" to make things clearer to the teller. For example to draw RD $20,000 (about US $400) I ask for:

10 x RD $1000.

10 x RD $500.

10 x RD $200.

10 x RD $100.

20 x RD $50.

RD $1000 en moneda (coins).

4) If you must draw money outside banking hours, use an ATM outside a bank. These will normally have a security man on guard. Also, if the machine eats your card or fails to issue cash, the matter will be more easily resolved if you go straight to the bank when it opens next day. For an ATM in a store or filling station, it could take days to resolve, with all parties passing the buck.

5) When using an ATM draw an "odd" amount, such as RD $4900 (rather than RD $5000). This will give you some smaller bills.

Good advice as usual, Charles.

Especially No. 2. Having your only card eaten by a machine can be a real pain here.

As is No. 5. The ATM machines can be quirky, and sometimes will not dispense your cash, even though you have gone through the routine and got a receipt. This happened to me at the airport last time. Taking out a slightly different amount each time, helps you keep track of any disputed transactions on your account. A long series of same amount transactions can be hard to reconcile, because Friday, Saturday or Sunday withdrawals may all show up as Monday's. Especially if you utilize more than one bank.

Progresso and Populair ATMs are the most reliable, IMHO

1) Advise your bank well before you leave.

2019. With my bank, Charles Schwab, I can do this in 2 seconds on the app. Most of the time I do it on the plane when I am leaving.

[Charles Pooter]

As to ATMs, I love them. I don't like carrying cash around with me, so I would bring a few dollar bills, and get the rest from ATMs

I believe in having some emotional connection with girls even if they are ST. Yes, for them it is just another guy paying. But over the years I have met some who stayed with me number of days and we went everywhere and enjoyed. Many of them are very happy to be living well albeit for a few days. They do reciprocate in other ways.

I do not believe in treating any girl badly irrespective of what she does for a living. All the same I will lock up all valuables and carry only local currency enough for the days activities.

I have driven alone all hours of the night in DR and never had a problem. Once I had a flat tire and couple of locals changed the tire and refused to accept money. Nowadays all major roads have regular police vans cruising with their lights on. They are there to help any motorist and I have not seen any roadblock checking. I really like mountain road going from Sosua to Santiago. Once there was a tree limb blocking. Some guys moved it so that I can pass. Driving that road I have met few girls who are waiting for the bus. I have given them rides and successful in bedding few.

You are right, of course! I was just being sarcastic. See my smily!

Just reminding some guys who denigrate the very girls they are sharing a meal, a bed, and bodily fluids with, Lol.

I get flamed all the time for giving the girls too much trust and respect!

I trust and respect my own particular circle of chicas, and I get it back in spades! But I have known them for quite a while now. They've earned it.

We all get off in different ways.

Like you, I have many stories of the good will of Dominicans over the last 10 years, which is why I prefer them over the average Canadian in my home town, and choose to live among them. Nobody is perfect, but as my fellow Canadian buddy always says, "never have I seen people with so little, give so much"!

[Oakie]

So should I wait until I arrive to get a room? I was gone book one online but is it smarter to wait till you get there. Also should I not being cash? How safe is it to use ATM's there. I was going to bring cash then exchange it once I got there but should I just wait and use an ATM there? Also how is the phone service over there will I be able to use my cell phone with no issues.

It's slow season here, so If you have been here before, and are arriving during the day, I would wait until you get here, have a cool drink, park your bag there, and check out the 4 main recommended chica friendly hotels in town, mentioned below.

If you have never been here before, or arriving at night, I would book a room for the first night, get a good night's sleep and take a short walk around town after breakfast to get your bearings, and see where you'd like to be for the rest of your trip.

As to ATMs, I love them. I don't like carrying cash around with me, so I would bring a few dollar bills, and get the rest from ATMs (there's one at the airport) I'm Canadian so, ATM's give me the best rate for pesos, even with the service charge. It also provides an online record of my daily spending.

Other guys don't use ATMs and prefer to change their USA Dollars in town and can get a better rate!

You can use your smart phone here but the roaming charges can be a nightmare. Unless you have an unlocked phone that can take a local SIM card, like i do, guys borrow or buy a cheap local phone.

Others here may give you some pointers too!

Have fun!

Some guys don't realize that when they are fucking a hoe, they are just a john, mark or a trick!

Not some Hollywood adonis! LOL.

Chica proof room?

Before you bring a girl to your hotel room, you have to chica proof it, I. E. Lock EVERYTHING inside your suitcase or room safe, including aftershave. The girls always have somebody in their family who need it.

[Oakie]

Whoa, all that gratuitous name calling. Apparently many of us have similar kind of respect for women as the present occupant of the W. H!

IMO, it has little to do with being uptight. These are some control freak misogynists. In any case, you are man enough to do what you wish to do, caring two hoots about the others.

It's the usual suspects who never post reports! Unless it's horror stories about some "guy they know" Lol.

Mongers buying sex from poor third world hookers is not usually associated with manhood, balls, and least of all, pride. where I come from. Any old lame dog, male or female with a little money in his pocket can do it!

I tell them back home that I am wifed up down here. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! Lol.

I don't moralize about it, I just enjoy it!

And the locals are smart enough to figure out who's in control when they see an old white guy with a young chica, or a fat old white broad with a young, buff local chico, even if she has him pay her tabs for her.

Some here, haven't quite figured that out?

And just for the record I have never, ever carried a woman's purse for her! Lol

Obsessing about balls, pride and manhood is for the insecure with fragile egos, and is very prevalent among some mongers.

I avoid flying or driving by night wherever possible. It's a drag.

Relax, stay over in San7tiago, and maybe even let your adventures begin there!

A viila is ok for a group, but most often requires transportation to and from, which adds complexity.

In Sosua, the most recommended chica friendly hotels are New Garden, Europa, or Alicia. Check out Don Antonio too, all close to the action. Things are slow here now so negotiating is advised, they may thrown in breakfast! You can walk to all 4 in 10 minutes or so and see who's hungry for your business.

As to other activities, besides fucking, there is the usual stuff to do in a small beach town, decent and varied food, and side trips to PP and Cabarete.

Have fun!

[Tempoecorto]

To be lectured on negotiating, by a couple of uptight third world mongers, is both funny, and sad!

This goes for any country. I hate when I am at a restaurant with a chick and the waitress confers with her instead of me. I tell them you talk to me. When that bich start paying the bill is when you talk to her.

Whoa, all that gratuitous name calling. Apparently many of us have similar kind of respect for women as the present occupant of the W. H!

[Mr Enternational]

And when they notice that you don't speak for yourself, don't negotiate for yourself, don't hold your money etc, I imagine them looking at you as an extension of the female that represents you. Just another woman.

[Oakie]

I am sufficiently cautious to carry my own wallet, money etc. That said, I have a chica that I WOULD / DO trust with large amounts of money, and have in the past.

In relation to that, she negotiates with local vendors of goods and services (non-sex related) to get me the non-gringo prices, which I appreciate.

In fact, I consider that a valuable service.

Presumably, that is the kind of negotiating mentioned previously. It takes a lot of nerve to have your "regular" negotiate with a hooker for you.

Of course, it's only small stuff I'm talking about.

I just like the freedom of everything at my disposal, and not having to carry anything with me. No man bag, no passport, no phone, no bank card, no keys, no dinero, no change.

I always liked the all inclusive resorts for that, and I've worked it so I have a little of that freedom in Sosua!

I have no problem managing the other 4 days after I send her home, Lol

I have to laugh though. I've lived and worked in 4 counties on 2 continents plus the Caribbean.

My career was totally self employed as a Land Acquisition Consultant to the best in the business. Almost all negotiating, almost all the time!
