Sosua Reports

[Frannie]

Hi guys,

I've just registered but been following the thread for several months. I finally made up my mind to go to Sosua at the beginning of next year and need some advice. I'm hesitating whether to buy the whole trip at a travel agency or only buy an air ticket and go on my own. The former might be more convenient, but I know that many hotels cooperating with travel agencies are not chica friendly, which would mean having to use short-time rooms (maybe not the most convenient option, but probably the safest). The truth is that I like immersing into local cultures, practicing languages (for example Spanish when in Spain), etc. , and therefore maybe I'll decide for the latter. I visited one agency in the vicinity of where I live and they offer a 2-week stay at Casa Marina Reef Hotel at a reasonable price. Seems to be well located, but I looked fore some information on the web and there was someone saying that chicas are not welcome there. Can you recommend any places to stay which are joiner friendly? Do they charge a kind of joiner fee as in some places in Thailand? Which option do you think is better if I don't insist on spending the whole night with a chica (surely not every night. When in Pattaya, I do it rather seldom, only if I manage to find a girl that I really like). Is it difficult to find a room within walking distance from Pedro Clisante for a couple of days without having made a reservation if I, for instance, book a hotel room only for the first 2 or 3 days and then look for another one simply walking in? One more question: do you think that bringing euros to DR is a much worse option than bringing US dollars?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Yes, you can just get a plane ticket and find a room when you arrive. Casa Marina is OK, or I should say it was OK when I stayed there a few years ago, and has nice ocean views, hot tub, unlimited free drinks, decent food, OK rooms, but you cannot bring prostitutes or male friends to your room there.

There are plenty of small hotels that specialize in providing accommodations for the male single traveler. You will find a room easily enough, unless it is Superbowl weekend, when, for some reason, Sosua seems to fill up. Easter week may also be busy.

Either Euros or US dollars will serve. You may be able to pay for a hotel room with US dollars, but will need to change money to Dominican pesos for all other transactions. You can change money at the going rate, but avoid the Cambio INSIDE the airport at Santo Domingo, Santiago, or Puerto Plata, as you will pay something like $20% surcharge on the exchange. Western Union in Sosua gives a decent rate, but there are other small money changers that may give you a fractionally better rate. It is a good idea to also have an Automatic Teller Machine card to withdraw cash. Some charges apply to ATM machine usage, but it is a useful convenience.

If you wish a specific set of services why not just state that up front. Have a contract ready to check off the boxes. Both sign and head off to the room. This is completely possible because prostitution is legal in the Dominican Republic. There is no need to be bashful about asking for exactly what you want each time every time.

This is pretty good advice.

Enough mongers will pay some chicas too much and sometimes mongers could get better service from enough chicas, but some mongers, not all, but enough, might pay less and get the same service!

Damn straight Mr. Oakie, but of course that would require the mongers who currently cannot / don't receive the services they want to quit complaining about how a particular ho runs her operation and instead look for those that run things they way they like, stop treating the ho's as if they are nothing more than cum depositories without their own set of human concerns, desires and needs, and acknowledging that ho running is not an intellectual pursuit but one that involves face to face interaction with other human beings. It's a service, much like getting your oil changed except you are getting balls drained, ass licked or whatever else smokes your shorts. You don't have to have a beer with your mechanic in order to receive good service. You only need to interact within the socially accepted norms required to do business. Just saying, LOL!

I would not even go so far as to talk in terms of an "adjustment" of services. She might just be sulking. Chicas are human beings and even though they are exchanging sex for money, if they like the guy and it has more of the feeling of being on a date, then probably both sides of the contract will enjoy the experience more. If it is just a "job", then it is less likely to be highly pleasurable on either side.

Mr. Frannie,

You are dead on point with this statement. When people spend too much time up in their head and too little time remembering that we are dealing with biological creatures being driven by survival (and when that point is reached additional personal gains or desires) that are often more emotional than rational then you see the biases that emerge.

When money enters the picture as the primary motivation then you have a straight business transaction. But buying sex is not like you are walking into La Sierna where the prices are marked the items you are purchasing are fairly known with the method, means and value of the exchange well documented. If you wish a specific set of services why not just state that up front. Have a contract ready to check off the boxes. Both sign and head off to the room. This is completely possible because prostitution is legal in the Dominican Republic. There is no need to be bashful about asking for exactly what you want each time every time. Move away from that bright line definition and things become murky very quickly. That's actually where playing along with the deception or illusion actually reveals itself. The entire idea that what's going on is anything but what is actually going on. As an example: that GFE is really GFE when it's really just a act. Or when a man convinces himself that the hot 20 something riding his dick is doing it for any other reason that the payoff she will receive (in whatever form he provides it).

[SubCmdr]

Many of these women are just as slick as any puta out on the street. In fact, probably they are one and the same, just each working from different perches.

Are you saying all women in the DR are Putas? If they are (yes there is that IF statement again) then it follows that all men in the DR (living or visiting) are tricks.

I like to keep things simple and uncomplicated (since I'm that type of person). A little street knowledge might apply here: JT Money's rap Ho Problems might be applicable.

Hello Gentlemen,

I'm in need of some intel. There is this thin cute chica that works at Rockys. Her name is Ruth. Does anyone know if she is P4P? One local said she couldn't be seen with a gringo or she would be fired. Any info would help thanks guys.

[Frannie]

So I do agree that in many instances a chica may perform the same way no matter how much she gets paid. But I would never completely rule out or totally ignore the possibility of a chica exercising her ability to adjust her services because she feels she is not really getting what the job is worth (to her) or what she is accustomed to.

=Wrx2005;1966542.......At the very least. If we don't pay a chica any money, what can happen? No sex takes place. When you pay, you open the door for a chica to provide services. What she performs of course depends upon the chica. So I do agree that in many instances a chica may perform the same way no matter how much she gets paid.

I agree. Overpaying and underpaying are bad.

Here is what you said:

You didn't provide any concrete evidence that he was in fact getting kickbacks from those places other than quotes from articles written by journalist who can twist your words to fit their narrative as they see fit. So the original statement I made still stands.

Here's what YOU said:

I have no particular insider knowledge of anything about CD or whether he received kickbacks from the clubs he promoted, and I doubt if he could have been making a lot of money out of all his online activites, books, etc. , but I think it must have subsidized his travels to a reasonable degree.

[Frannie]

I was speaking in terms of he was not engaged in pimping activities like Colombian Jake and David_33 of Peru fame. Promoting establishments that are already in play such as the ones you mentioned wouldn't be considered pimping. I have no knowledge if he got a kickback from promoting any of them or not.

Here is what you said:

I don't believe the guy was profiting any any way from the info he gave out.

[SavePros321]

So how is Strecker making his living these days? "I don't have to work," he says with a smile. "I make money just by being me. "

Quote from Miami New Times article 2014. So what exactly do you think he meant by this? And how was he able to afford make monthly trips to Sosua while Passion's and CMP clubs, the only places in Sosua that were brothels with on-site sex, were open and promoted like crazy by CD, but as soon as they were closed he started to bad mouth Sosua and the DR, and yet when he was arrested in Costa Rica his partners claimed on his Web site that he was basically indigent with no source of income? And why did he start traveling to Costa Rica and promoting 'chica-friendly' hotels as soon as he was banned from the DR, even though any number of people had warned him that he was skating on thin ice and widely perceived as a person non grata? I have no particular insider knowledge of anything about CD or whether he received kickbacks from the clubs he promoted, and I doubt if he could have been making a lot of money out of all his online activites, books, etc. , but I think it must have subsidized his travels to a reasonable degree.

Sousa's mayor is an idiotic air-head who should be impeached, if the Dominican Republic has such a process. Besides not resolving the shortage of water piped water for the locals, this woman purposely did this to Sosua business to force her naive will to change Sosua to the Land of Oz with herself the fake Wizard behind the curtain.

I like the reference to Aleppo, hahaha!

Reminds me of a certain city called Flint, in the richest country of the world.
