German FKK Clubs - Lounge and chat area

[HungryStud101]

I grew up in the District, was a hidden secret until the late 1980's and we had brothels all over but they all got shut down. I respect your eagerness to find new spots

I think you are doing well in Germany, only change a losing game, to add in the USA for this game is flushing money down the toilet.

Brazil remains my favorite destination. I have studied and practiced the language for several years but I am still not fluent. I get better every time I go. Rio is probably the best place for someone who doesn't know any Portuguese. I love the termas but they are probably not as good as the FKKs if I remember correctly. You usually just go with one girl but she will really love you for the money and sometimes even go home with you off the clock. What I really like are the clinica scene in Sao Paulo where the past few visits I have been doing interactive 3-sums for the equivalent of 80 $ USD / hour. However, you have to have some understanding of the language or a guide and you have to be a little more careful as Sampa is intimidating. Rio is a bit more dangerous but set up for tourists. My Paulista friends are afraid of that city. Having said all this Germany is such a safe place and the FKKs are still quite the deal. I have no complaints except it all feels more transactional than my other favorite places such as Brazil and Montreal.

Vegas sucks in comparison to all these places. An acquaintance went to the Chicken Ranch and he said they brought out a line-up of 8 girls that he wouldn't fuck for free. He never said how much they charged but only that they wanted some stupid amount of money. A few years ago I was in Vegas for a work convention and I had a girl coming over for 500$/hour. We were talking for two weeks. I asked her to dress up like one of her photos and she said that will cost me an extra 100$. I said you got to wear something, don't you? For 500$ she arrives in jeans and curlers in her hair? I refused to pay the extortion fee and she didn't show up or call to cancel. So I had 100 Proof send over a girl for 400 $ who was OK but not the quality of girls I get in Montreal for the equivalent of 150 $USD. I went to the Hobby Shop for 350 $ and saw a Korean girl. That was nice. But not like the other places I go. When the economy tanked in 2008 in the US some of the local strip clubs (non-Vegas) I grew up with became full service. I checked it out and it was so but it was not sustainable. Feminists (who are usually the fugliest women one will ever encounter) had persuaded LE to bust all those places so women are not exploited. Now those women work minimum wage jobs. I digress.

Vegas should be at the rock bottom of everyone's TDL for this hobby. The US is a sex prison. Long live Germany (and Brazil and Montreal).

Try to go into a bank and get a mortgage. You have to prove you don't need the money in order to get it! Compare that to student loans. If you want to go to a privte school and borrow 30 K a year so that you can get a degree in Left Handed Puppetry, you will get that loan and then end up tending bar trying to pay back 120 K at 6. 5% interest while making 18 K / year. It is the next housing crises waiting to happen.

Read about Mike Meru, an orthodontist who graduated from University of Southern Cal's dental school and owes over $1 Million in student loans. He makes $225 K / year and he pays about $1,500 a month and that isn't enough to cover the interest. His debt grows by 130 $/ day. I don't think he sees escorts. In two decades he will owe $2 Million. What an idiot! Who loaned him all this money?

I mongered once in Washington dc and quality of girl was limited. I wonder if there is good mongering destination in USA?

I went to Vegas but long time ago when I was a kid, so if I have chance to go there for holiday or business, I will definitely monger there, but for mongering destination I stick to German FKK for now while it last as it is and I hope it last as it is for life time.

I grew up in the District, was a hidden secret until the late 1980's and we had brothels all over but they all got shut down. I respect your eagerness to find new spots just like I do you look at the map and do your research in hunt of new places. ' Take a hint' from the Americans on here who not only go to Germany but the vast majority of American mongers are going to go to Sosua in the DR (shithole, could write me a check to go I would rip it up), Costa Rica (inflated pricing now) , Panama (hot, humid and either really cheap pussy or overpriced girls who also work CR and Colombia for less than they ask in Panama) , Colombia itself with 3 cities maybe 4 in specific and none of them on my docket as of today, Brazil is very popular and I am researching it but have hesitations that do not exist in Germany and behind all those places is Asia mainly Thailand and I have more interest in the food and street cart vendors I see on the Food Network and Anthony Bourdain's old show (may he RIP) than I do in their scene. We also have the islands off our south east coast but SXM is rebuilding still and prices have gone up and quality down but the Dutch side of St. Maartan used to be great, the other Dutch Antilles suck.

Give me Germany and Western Europe any day over the rest of the world. For now. However, I have several friends some on here trying to drag me to Thailand maybe I will give in but several trying to sell me on Hong Kong too. Hong Kong and Shanghai I want to see before I die so some day will sample. I know little of India but one of my former clients is from India and knows my game and tells me I must as he words it go to this place called Goa in India. It is a fancy beach area and although not a monger destination it is full of girls many hot who apparently hang out in the hotel bars working for not much targeting mainly British men or whoever might be there. I wouldn't say these girls are cheap but if one wants to sample a ' James Bond Quality Indian Lady' this place is probably where one can find her, everything here is I am told 4 and 5 star quality for food and lodging and safety not an issue at all.

The USA never was a monger destination per se like a Brazil, a Thailand or a Germany nor will it be. If already in the USA is worth looking but to come here to monger is a waste. At this time the best pussy can be found for good pricing still in Texas (mainly DFW / HOU), Florida is still up and rolling (Southern FL, massive downward pressure on pricing from the Cuban girls) , Denver is as good as it was prior, great pussy town! That being said if you really want a vacation here and get a hooker than I say go skiing or rafting in Summit Country CO and spend your first night and last night downtown Denver. There is also a casino area called Black Hawk about 30 miles west of Denver on I-70 near Idaho Springs full of hotels and restaurants and not loaded up with White Trash gawkers like Vegas is. Fun place still has that old west ' gold mine' feel to it. I recommend the Crowne Plaza off the 16th Street Mall area as it allows smoking in a dedicated area and go get the Colorado rack of lamb at Elways even if it is over 60 bucks, and try out some Rocky Mountain Oysters at the Buckhorn Exchange (bull balls) they are actually pretty good. As protein packed as a Gypsy's vagina but probably not as moist and flavorful

I think you are doing well in Germany, only change a losing game, to add in the USA for this game is flushing money down the toilet.

The average student debt is ranging from 20 grand to 40. Is it too much, just oK? That's the average. And not everyone has debt at the time of graduation. If you go in state, it is much cheaper. A smart student with common sense might study Electrical Engineering at the local state school and graduate with very little debt and obtain a great job paying 60 grand right out of gate. Someone with less common sense might pay an arm and leg to obtain a degree in gender studies or Arabian Lit or some such subject from out of state school or a prestigious Ivy League, graduate with 200 grand debt and bleak job prospects.

https://ticas.org/posd/map-state-data

On the whole, I think debt levels at graduation are high but not outrageous. Our system is still providing great jobs. What's the point of spending 4 years in college as they do in Spain or Italy or other places, find no job, go back to school to park yourself for another 3 and then another 2 and so on till mid 30's? When the education leads to a well paying job, that education is worth paying for.

The underlying reasons for debt increase are far more complex. Our system is flooded with easy loans. In addition to Sallie, there is tons of easy private money for student loans. An 18 yr old who has no clue about future debt burden signs up for these loans because it is so easy to get them. Schools found it easy to raise tuitions because so many students were able to borrow and pay up. Not different from how easy money fueled the housing crisis of 2008. And there are easy loans available because every institution and central bank in the world parks their reserves in dollar and then look for microscopic yield advantages. This is a privilege and burden that comes from dollar being world's reserve currency.

Secondly, we have millions of foreign students who come from the richest families in their countries and willing to pay whatever tuition American schools charge. To some extent, thy set the upper end of the price range.

As for high schools, there is such a wide range. Yes, inner city schools may be failing, but at the same time there are thousands of schools which are truly outstanding. Just remember, these same high school students go into American universities and if they were so ill prepared in high school they would be flunking out badly in college — but they are not.

"In the US, there would be riots in the streets if teachers and school staff told parents that their 13 year old child has no chance to go to university but should instead focus to become an electrician, plumber, baker, etc. ".

This is a rhetorical point. Teachers are not telling parents in general anything about the careers of their 13 year olds. That is not the business of the teacher anyway. And they are not. And no, riots will not start either. If you read the comments pages on WSJ, a publication generally patronized by the higher income bracketed, many people bemoan that more kids are not going the professional apprentice route into the careers you mentioned.

And the broader point about bashing American education system: those kinds of doomsday predictions have been around for 30 to 40 years, if not longer. Russians were gettig ahead, then Japanese, then Koreans, the Finns, etc etc. There is more to an educational system than rote learning. Yes, the Koreans and Finns score better on standardized tests at age 16 perhaps, but by the time they are 25 all their creativity, innovative thinking, risk taking ability seem to disapppear. The brightest of the brightest in Korea go work for Samsung, which is great in commodity semiconductors due to their massive capital investments but all the brightest kids of Korea can't write code worth shit. As for Finns, did I miss the demise of their one tech firm? If American boys and girls are so uneducated, how are the best tech firms all in the US land -- for the most part, these are staffed with many youngsters who were deemed to be behind their Korean and other counterparts in the recent past. And exactly how did US GDP per capita and average net income grow muchh faster than the rest of G8 over a decade and more?

I think the original issue is getting confused here. I finished my BA and MA in the USA and also studied in Sweden. I call tell you that the US education system is far superior, at least at the university level than most European systems. I agree with Jnpr30 here. So please don't accuse me of inane america bashing, I speak from a lot of experience.

But McAdonis is right about a few things, and one of his points is actually quite different. The cost of higher education is increasingly expensive and it is not longer the key to El Dorado. My original point was not that quality of the US education system is not good, at the university level I reiterate, I can not vouch for US high schools, although I do think critical analysis and creative thinking is am American strength in education, is bad.

Rather I meant that due to increasingly inequality and the sharp increases in the cost of higher education and health care, that life in the US was increasingly unlivable. I am not only talking about the infamous "middle class" here, but also about people who are relatively affluent.

The way America is structured makes life very difficult, higher education and health care are virtually cost less in the vast majority of European countries, we can argue about the quality, but these two things will not financially destroy you.

Where McAdonis is totally right is that higher education costs an arm and a leg in the US and it is essential for a barely reasonably quality of life and not just an extravagant one. Yes, so the education might be great, but it is harder and harder to keep your head above water in the US. I really think this is quite apparent and not "america bashing. ".

You missed my point. In Europe, based on performance in the classroom, children are funneled toward the education path and careers for which they show more aptitude. Your heavy response toward my comments is evidence to me how unacceptable this concept would be to the general population in the USA, when it is widely accepted in much of the civilized world. It's amazing to me that the USA focuses so heavily on athletics and other extracurricular activities and less on actually teaching critical skills. In the late 80's almost all votech classes were eliminated in the state where I attended school. Gone were the days of small engine mechanics, automotive mechanics, wood working and home economics due to budget constraints but at the same time provisions were made to expand the extracellular activities. In Europe extracurricular activities are not related to the school but are instead private club activities. School is reserved and focused on education. I believe I have a good understanding of both the USA and European education systems having gone through the USA system myself and my children going through the European system for the majority of there schooling. My son returned to the USA in his 9th year. He was required to take tests for evaluation and placement in classes because his European reports showed mostly 6's and 7's except for English, Netherlands and German which were higher. After the tests were graded and evaluations made because he answered some science and math questions in Latin and French, they promoted him to the 12th year classes where he earned perfect scores. Unfortunately, he required another three years of credits to graduate so he was encouraged to take a kickback year and then signed up for online classes in Chinese, University level mathematics, science, etc. Where he also earned perfect scores. This is a personal example that I witnessed, not a statistical report pulled from somewhere. Yes, I'm hard on the USA education system but I don't feel I bash it. I feel that I provide it with an honest assessment.

Some people may question my loyalty to my country. My loyalty is unwavering but my mind is open. Yes, my skin is so white I must be privileged. My children say I'm so patriotic that I'm socially unacceptable.

Washington DC used to have many beautiful Southern girls working the streets, until mid 80's when the Russian embassy produced a video showing prostitutes and homeless drug addicts hanging out on the street in mid winter within a mile of the Whitehouse, and shamed the corrupt and decadent capitalists. Then president Ronald Reagan ordered and funded just about all police agencies and the country with federal money to eradicate prostitution.

Las Vegas has free lancers working the casinos, some young and very pretty. If you see a single girl or a pair of girls sitting by themselves in the bar, or cruising the casino, giving you inquiring eyes, they are the "Casino Girl" available to go to your room for sex. Just smile at them and they would come over asking if you want company. They usually ask for $200 to $400 a session, depending on how busy the nights are, but some might do $100. Casinos' security know these working girls and would let them work until they start causing problems. These guys remember the trouble-making girls and would refuse them entry.

Escorts services will have guys pass out color flyers on the main drag offering $100 sessions, but when the girls arrive, the $100 is just a strip tease. Sex will cost about $400. There are web sites for escorts that would send girls to hotels, if you know where to look. Internet prostitution via Craigslist and Backpage has been busted. Be careful of police stings online.

There are a few massage joints in Chinatown on Spring Valley, known to offer FS. There are also apartments with Asian girls, Korean, Chinese, Thai, scattered around Chinatown. Rates are around $120.

I would forget about the legal brothels outside of Las Vegas as they are about 40 to 50 miles out in the boondocks, the line ups are usually half dozen thick, old truckers' wives, not worth bagging, except Cherry's Bunny Ranch with a few young, hot girls. You could sit at the bar, buy the girls a few drinks and bull shit with them They would show you the facilities and their private rooms, then produce a written menu with services starting with $600 for a CBJ, up to $5,000 for a threesome session with 2 girls etc. They would negotiate down, but the houses take half their fares so it will be costly. Most night the brothels have no.

There are street girls working on Fremont Ave and Boulder Blvd, mostly desperate drug addicts. I would skip the street scenes as there risks of robberies and LVPD's sex stings on the streets to raise revenue for the city.

Overall the US is very restrictive and punitive with paid sex in every jurisdiction. US women are withdrawn and unsocial in public places. It's difficult to pick up women for one night stands except those obvious Casino Girls. Tension between the sexes is pretty high. I don't know where and how most single US women get sex, besides their huge vibrators hehe.

This is not the primary driver of grade inflation. Instructors don't think to themselves "Oh I better give Johnny an A because that will keep enrollment up and I can keep my job. ".

The main driver is that students fill out evaluation forms at the end of the semester, and it's simply a fact that instructors who are hard graders get lower evaluations. And those evaluation numbers have an influence, often a very strong influence, on the faculty member's yearly evaluation and pay increase. I. e. Instructors have a quick and direct monetary incentive to give high grades. This has both a conscious and subconscious impact.

I actually agree with both of you. McA's point about inflating grades begins at a much earlier age when children are told you can be anything in the world you want to be. This is nice to instill hope at a young age but at some point the gold stars and smiley face band-aids need to stop. I have personally witnessed parents in school, yelling and screaming at teachers because their child received an average grade. The next day, my children told me the child was bragging because their grade was raised. In my mind, this does 3 things: reduces the willingness of teachers to grade honestly, encourages other parents to behave the same way, teaches the youth from an early age not to respect authority and look for the easy way out.

I much prefer the European schools my children attended. The teacher presented a curriculum that is beyond the ability of nearly all children in the class. Grades are given honestly and at the end of the term a number grade on a scale from 1-10 is given. A number 5 for example, represents 50-59% cumulative score for all assignments and tests for that class. If a student has an average of 6 across all classes a 5 in one or two classes is still considered passing. If a child gets a 9 in a class the school may review the curriculum to ensure everything that was required to be taught was. At the end of the first six years a test is given to verify the child has successfully learned the required information to proceed to secondary school. Once in secondary school, the child starts to be guided towards subjects, skills, careers, based on academic performance. By the second year of secondary the child will not stay on a math and science track if their performance shows they don't have the aptitude to successfully follow the courses. They may instead be guided into mechanical or trade skills. In the US, there would be riots in the streets if teachers and school staff told parents that their 13 year old child has no chance to go to university but should instead focus to become an electrician, plumber, baker, etc.

The points Neurosynth makes, in my opinion are derived from the actions taken earlier in children education that transcend the years and technology. These children who have learned from their parents that they can bully their way through life, they can become anything using these techniques, they are entitled, are now young adults. They are empowered by technology to rate the professors and the most important criteria are grades easy, passes everyone. The value of hard work and dedication is lost. The realization that the US education is failing our nation is still denied. Students from more and more countries continue to perform higher than those from the USA.

Instead of taking a realistic and achievable approach to correcting the issues with education in the USA, our politicians advocate for vouchers for private schools. I come from a small sparsely populated area in the USA that happens to be home to an expensive highly sought out charter school. Instead of making education for everyone better, instead of instilling the thought that it's not disgraceful to not have a university degree, instead of telling our children the truth, we teach them again that money and power can buy success.

To get an idea of what they look like Google "Cathouse: The Series" It was an HBO TV series that documents the professional lives of the workers at the Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel in Nevada. I went in 1985, it was so good, I NEVER went back. I concur with what Kosher Kowboy has stated about these places.

I mongered once in Washington dc and quality of girl was limited. I wonder if there is good mongering destination in USA?

I went to Vegas but long time ago when I was a kid, so if I have chance to go there for holiday or business, I will definitely monger there, but for mongering destination I stick to German FKK for now while it last as it is and I hope it last as it is for life time.

[Mr Ho]

Clinicas and Thermas are two different venues in Brazil. The termas are only found in Rio de Janeiro. They're FKK like, except the ladies are NOT nekkid. They're in bikini's and the termas are not as luxurious as the FKK's. In the termas, you can buy her a drink, and get to know her before you decide to partake. Clinicas are equivalent to massage parlors. On arrival you'll be shown the LU. Sao Paulo has clinicas and high end bars, with the ladies dressed to the 9's. It can get very expensive there.

So far people around me think I am into German culture and history as I go to Germany every year, one time I will try Brazil, then my people around me will suddenly see me liking the Brazilian culture and history LOL.

As for now, I stick to German FKK while it last.

[Java Man]

How is Vegas brothel? I went to Las Vegas, but I did not go to brothels there or in the region. Are line up as young and beautiful as German FKK at Nevada brothels or?

So FKK and clinicas in Brazil you mean therma in Brazil? Are better right?

KK,
The math works like below for me. You may have a different math and others may have other different ways of doing this. No right or wrong way.

Another way -- stay more days. This is what the truly big boys like you and Badin do. Instead of 5 days, stay 10 days. However, there will be an offsetting increase in hotel and food expenses. Only the airfare is levered. Still, that is something.

My fixed costs are probably roughly the same. In US Dollars my flights range from as low as $750 to $1500 and $1150 probably a good average number. I would save $200 on that if I sat in coach but I simply can't for long hauls so pay the premium.

My hotel is 100 E a night, includes a great breakfast which comes in handy if not going to a club that serves food.

6 nights is probably my usual stay, as few as four and sometimes 7. 10 is too long for me and diminishing returns hit and unless I can find cheaper days or off days I find the best bang for the buck is to take 4-5-6 day trips and live to fight another day. A normal 6 day week for me would be:

3 Gypsies days: Daily costs: 10 e on the Creampie Express, 30 e entry, 3-5 Gypsies usual 3 120 e-200 e, total cost of a Day at Day Care generously allowing for 2 doubles and 1 singles session including transportation is 240 e on a high end, 160 e on a low end if poke only 3 Gypsies per day. Average it out at 200 E and add in the 100 e for hotel and food usually 20 E a day tops, 320 Euros a day.

2 Mainhatten: Daily costs. 5 e Tram, 45 e early entry, 100 X3 on girls, 350 E for the day plus the hotel is 450 E but not food costs, eat all at the club.

1 Sharks / Oase: Daily costs. 50 E trains / taxis; 50 e early entry at Oase or on Discount Sharks Days, (1) 50 girl and probably (2) 100 girls. 350 e plus the 100 e hotel. 450 E, same as Mainhatten roughly.

Day Care allows me to bring the expenditures down as I try to keep total spent as low as possible to apply to the next trip and keep going more often so I am cheap. 3 Gypsy days are 320 X3 = 960 Euros includes hotel and food too.

Non Day Care Days: 450 in the case of 3 days in mainstream clubs, that is 1350 Euros added to the 960 Euros for the 3 Gypsy Days is 2,310 Euros call it 2,300 or roughly $2,700 or so. Those numbers divided by the 6 days comes out to 383.33 Euros a day all included or in dollars about 450 bucks.

So it costs me roughly 450 bucks a day to stay in Germany on average and with the airfare comes out to roughly $4,000-$4,200 for a 6 night stay.

I think that is roughly what you had for 5 days but variables in our airfares exist and you also do more sessions and me doing Gypsies skews the numbers too, all easily able to account for one extra day in my budget since the air and hotel is pretty much the same and your cars etc costs I equalize it out on trains and cabs.

The other equation I try to use is at what point do I say ' I am kaput' and anything spent is a waste. For me seems to be day 4 or 5 but I can make 6. I calculated my daily cost to be 450 bucks w hotel included. $450 X 3 days is greater than the average cost of my round trip airfares. So IMO 2-3 days after I reach burnout I am burning up another airline ticket. After all my trips I have come to the conclusion that for me and my style I am best off making as many 4-5 night trips as my goal is maximum numbers of days there with as fewest gaps in between trips as possible. Some trips I got my airfare for 800 and the hotel was only 60 and I ended up doing only Gypsies and 4-7 days came out to be $2500-$3000 or so. Juggling the Gypsies and the Mainstream girls allows me to spend less overall to roll in to the next trip and the more times I see the Gypsies the more time I can ultimately spend there and if I end up tossing the RLD and a few indies in the mix I could probably extend trips with a day off or a cheap RLD or 100 e indy day. It is the 300-500 E clubs days that dent the budgets.

All of your math makes total sense, seems in line with my math either way we seem to be operating within our budgets. And you are right about a session here in the USA vs a session there, they suck here. Cutting those girls off or down 75 percent over what was has greatly opened up some spare cash for trips. They are just a waste of money, would rather apply it to Romanians as well, red couches or no couches. Any Romanian will do!

Passing students means continued enrollment. Continued enrollments means the continued collection of tuition fees. Parents put pressure on administrators. Administrators put pressure on professors. Students get passing grades, even if they don't complete the assignments or learn the course material.

This is not the primary driver of grade inflation. Instructors don't think to themselves "Oh I better give Johnny an A because that will keep enrollment up and I can keep my job. ".

The main driver is that students fill out evaluation forms at the end of the semester, and it's simply a fact that instructors who are hard graders get lower evaluations.
