Havana

Appreciate the response on the SIM card.

How are the 'dates' set up? Is it like 'talk to the the chica that catches your fancy, do the deed, give her money and kick her out of your airbnb. Or do they generally be wanting to do lunch or dinner and always willing to hang out. Whatsyourprice and seeking are extremely well populated (8 K profiles) in Bogota and Medellin, pretty much point and shoot in Mexico, Peru and Brazil. It seems the sugar daddy sites are a bust here. A search showed about 10 profiles in Havana.

I saw some chicas in FB. How useful is scraping fb for chicas in Havana. What other online options do we have?

I can't help you with FB since I'm not on most social media sites. Remember, in Cuba prostitution is illegal, so take that in consideration vs the other countries you mention. It's not point and shoot either, so you have to put in some work.

I should mention that when I travel to Cuba I go mostly for its music and activities that have nothing to do with getting laid. What I always look for is meeting a civie that I could get an ongoing relationship with. I live in L / A where the mongering life here is quite good, so when I travel I'm not necessarily looking to get laid. I've had thru the years met different civies that have not lasted but that's what interests me, not just getting laid, specially the hard core jineteras ones.

Again in Cuba women in general enjoy flirting and nothing like here in the states where some women get pissed off if you make it too obvious by checking them out.

So, if you've never been to Cuba don't expect what happens in those countries you mentioned. It's a different game there.

Lastly, if you read thru the threads here you should get an overview of what works and what your M. O. should be.

A couple of things I encountered trying to buy a sim at the airport. Before getting out of the baggage claim there was supposed to be a desk to buy such sim card. Problem was there was no one there! Another person mentioned there was an Etecsa office outside the terminal across the street.

So, as everyone knows nowadays having no phone is akin as being handicapped. Anyway, I had someone come meet me at the airport, since I was supposed to call him once I got out of the baggage claim area so I could get to their location. No, Habana airport is not like here LAX or prolly any other airport in the US where one can pull up to the curb and pick you up. There they have to park somewhere away from the terminal (guess to keep illegal taxis from picking people up).

Found some hustler trying to "help" me with my bags and he let me use his phone to contact my drive, after that gave him a dollar for his help and was on the way. BTW, suggest to bring a bunch of dollar bills to tip as the circumstance merits..

So, after putting my bags away in my ride's car, went back to the Etecsa office and was told I could not pay for the sim card with USD! I asked and was told I needed to pay with CUP. Since I didn't exchange any USD to CUP I was out of luck getting a card there.

Caveat, you can exchange USD for CUP inside the terminal, problem is you'd only get the official rate, which is 110 to 1 USD instead of the street rate which was 260 to 1.

So, if you're willing to exchange USD to CUP at the airport you can buy the sim then and there either inside the terminal or at the Etecsa office outside, or else wait till you exchange to CUP and get better bang for your bucks. I waited till next day and my apt host loaned me 5000 CUP to buy the sim card and get breakfast and other incidentals.

Etecsa sells packages which include texts, calls and data, forgot how much I paid but I would say it's not going to break your bank. Just make sure you get enough data if you plan to be online, also, in case you need to access websites outside I'd strongly recommend you get a VPN before entering Cuba. I always buy a month's worth of Nord VPN.

Also, my phone is unlocked (android) so if your phone is locked it might not work in Cuba.

As far as street action, around the Inglaterra and parque central area there is plenty of action. Also, like someone mentioned here most private taxis and / or bicycle drivers have contacts for hook up, just ask and have them show you the prospects from their phones, yes, they have photos of the gals.

Obispo street, which is close to the Inglaterra hotel, has a lot of action, gals semis and some pros walking up and down the street. Best bet is to get a seat in one of the cafes close to the street and make eye contact when you see someone you like and go from there.

Cops, as far as I know don't bother Airbanb hosts. They tend to ask the gals. I've seen numerous times where they stop a gal (usually accompanied by a guy) and ask them questions. I guess after a while working the beat, cops prolly know who's "working".

I never bought a SIM card, my casa owner always lends me one for free (and I leave some saldo when I return it as thanks), so I cannot help there.

The advice I CAN offer is how to add credit.

There are a number of foreign sites (I use www.ding.com which is canadian) where you can add CUP to your phone number with your credit card.

And Etesca has regular 'offers' (every three weeks or so), where you get multiple credit for the same amount (the last one was quintuple).

One can only take advantage of these offers through sites like ding.

So if there's an offer while you're there you can buy enough credit cheaply and talk / message / surf as much as you like.

I saw a post by Tallman a few pages back suggesting he may be back after 10 being away in Colombia and other south American countries. A veteran monger, Tallman coming back is like renaissance of mongering scene.

This would be my first time in Cuba. I am planning to stay in an Airbnb in old Havana for a week. Other than some of the clubs mentioned where you can find Jineteras, how frequently can you find pros / semi pros in the streets near hotel Inglaterra or on the road to Malecon? Considering the 'illegal but never enforced situation' are there any cases of cops busting hotels or airbnbs where such activities take place?

Someone mentioned buying SIM at the Havana airport? What cellular service? Cost of it please?

The google says.

Urine and swab tests can take around a week, whereas blood tests can take two weeks or more. It's also important to know that many clinics will not contact you if you have a negative test. If you don't hear back from the clinic, it's most likely that your test results have come back negative.

I have my doubts that such a medical service would be available in Cuba.

Going to be in Havana in April. First time but I am not new to Latin America. Heck I've been to Haiti also and to Africa. So all in all I am not a newbie when it comes to "mongering". But again will be my first time in Cuba and I am aware us Americans have some restrictions like limited ATM use and other things. No big deal for me. Anyways what are some dos and donts? And where are the best place to find Cuban women especially Afro-Cubans (because I especially always been into them). And I know this maybe a stupid question but how do you guys compare Cuban women to Dominicans, Colombians and Brasilians when it comes to looks and personality? How is the mongering scene there? I heard some women accept "gifts. " What are the best clubs to check out? And is Havana really THAT cheap? Sorry for the loaded questions and thanks in advance.

After going to Cuba for many years and exchanging bodily fluids with many girls I am ready to settle down. With one smoking girl for a week sin condon.

What I want to do is take the girl to the clinic and do a full test and then go bareback. My question is how long does it take from the time doing the test to the results? Gracias.

John-thanks for sharing that story. It's only a bummer so few will hear it in this tiny little corner of the Internet. Everyone is cavalier driving without a seatbelt until they get in an accident and are left with a permanent preventable disability and a bad story.

Penetrator. With all respect, Cuba infections are indeed up because of lack of condoms. I looked this up before I went. But it doesn't matter. More importantly, assume any girl that bangs you for money has done it before. Even the good ones. Come on, don't we come off as nice guys who haven't done this 100 times before when we meet girls? Do I tell them they're my third girl in 3 days? I do not. The girls don't either. But moreover they're getting banged by the exact guys who try to go bareback whenever they can. You're not the first. Think a girl is going to tell you she was on antibiotics 2 weeks ago? Or that her flare up just subsided and she's kinda sure but not really that she's not contagious? Please. You're there on the island for like 3 minutes and she knows that as well as you do. If you do this hobby long enough, and it's not long, you're 100 percent going to bang girls with awful things. Part of the hobby is just realizing a condom let's you do this for much longer without coming into contact with those things.

I will be in Habana the last week of March. Will any of you be there then?

Here's a quote about the requirements for entering the US.

Why can't I go to USA after Cuba?

In October 2022, the US Government started enforcing the restriction on people who have travelled to Cuba since 12th January 2021. These travellers are no longer eligible to apply for the ESTA Visa Waiver programme, and need to apply for a US visitor's visa (B1/ B2) via their nearest US Embassy. Sep 8, 2023.

My comment on the 6 month ban was the need to get a visa, which as you correctly mentioned, takes close to a 2 years wait. So, I should have used visa requirement, instead of ban.

Mondo.

Thanks for clarifying. I thought I may have been missing something.

[Mondo707]

Would you mind expanding on the automatic 6 month ban comment? I didn't understand that to be the case.

Otherwise the rest is true, and and I almost fell foul of this. Thankfully, I had to cancel my trip, or I would have faced the same issue leaving Cuba. For anyone who visits the US on an ESTA, rather than a visa, visiting a country which is on the US list of state sponsored terrorism countries (including Cuba) disqualifies you from the ESTA scheme permanently. Therefore you have to then apply for a visa whenever you want to visit the US. In my country, the current wait time for an interview for a visa is over 2 years!

I'm currently seriously contemplating a trip in a few months to Cuba, having gotten sick of denying myself the pleasure of visiting an interesting country for fear of not being able to visit the US (which I've found less and less appealing as the years go by, but it does prove useful for transit to other countries sometimes). I'm hopefully soon to have a Canadian passport, which will also solve the problem.

The reason I posted on this subject was to alert people who may have been on the same situation as the UK monger.

He came to the US and met with fellow monger who then drove down to Miami and flew into Cuba. Not knowing about the ban to enter the US once you visit Cuba. Evidently he had the necessary docs or whatever a UK visitor needs to visit the US, otherwise he wouldn't have been allowed into US territory in the 1st place, where that's an ESTA (yes it's ESTA, not ETIAS) visa on the way back to the US. Like I mentioned on my original post, when one visits Cuba then this triggers an automatic 6 months ban on you to enter the US in case you are not aware of it.

Again, main goal being to put a hurt on the tourism dollars Cuba gets.

That makes much more sense. There are a few places that are explicit about visitors not being able to access the rooms so the distinction is clear. I may book two different places, one for sleeping and one for play. Much appreciated.

I think it's actually the other way around. By them sailing I'd exclusive to you, they're saying that you aren't staying in a room where another family lives. Basically, there's no one there to bug you, high translates to there's no one there to stop you from bringing company back to the place.

Just curious do you pay these casa with us dollars cash etc or credt cards?

Regular Casas are usually paid in cash, unless is an airbnb Casa, which can be charged previusly to your card by Airbnb company.
