Havana

[Catire]

I met this 18 year old online that I went to visit this month. She lives in the middle of nowhere and it's a pain in the ass to get to where she is. The trip was worth it. She is an easy 9 and her family lives without running water near Mayari. She has never flown on a plane and loves the idea of me taking her to Havana. She is 18 and I'm well into my 50's. What to I need to do to make this work? I don't plan on being with anyone else my next trip, so it can hardly be called prostitution. How do I manage the obvious attention that this will get from the authorities?

If I remember correctly (though I never had to do this) and rules / regulations in Cuba change like the wind, you used to be able to register as a couple. Thereby evading all sex tourism related attention. I don't remember any age / age difference restrictions though you will probably get a raised eyebrow or two. A note from her parents. Saying you're her BF could be very useful as well. Ask her how to best safeguard yourselves? She'll find out.

All,

Thanks for your great points, and especially for watching the back of a fellow. This is what I really like of this forum. We are always open and candid about our feedback and watch out for each other. I have decided to take a leap of faith here. I know that I may regret it later and learn the hard way. Again, as I said that I have no intention of marrying her, and I understand that she may have a Cuban guy friend who she may do on the side. I am fine with it (no judging). I am actually also looking at this as a business investment. Typically, I spend 7-10 K a year in hobbying usually in NA. However, fucking those $250/ hour so called escorts, especially in Canada doesn't give me the satisfaction. There are orgies that I attend on yearly basis and shell out 1-2 K, but even then I still need to play the game of attracting the escort. One shells out so much money here in NA, yet doesn't get the satisfaction. The escorts have too much drama, and want to provide a GFE experience. None of the fucking 500 chicas that I fucked in NA, Europe, and AP every provided me the experience that this one Chica did in the four days. So for me it is a business investment. Instead of investing in the self-proclaimed high-end working girls in Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver, who doesn't know how to connect with a man, I will invest in her.

What do I get in return. - The age difference between us is as some eluded to in their posts. The ideal age for Latin American culture. I get to be treated like a king. One of the best pussy in the world with mind-blowing passionate sex, hassle-free logistics in Cuba, and many other things.

So thanks again everyone for your advice. If and when I crash and burn, will let you goes know, and will have no problem in saying -- Dude you were right.

Chao.

Seems as if though you're walking into it with eyes wide open. I was afraid you were expecting her to be completely "faithful" to you, even with Cuban dudes. That wouldn't be fair to her. So I am happy you're reasonable about this (of course, regularly selling her bollo to tourists is another matter).

But if you get what you want when you come and you can afford the deal, then good for you and good luck to you. I just hope you can afford to see her at least somewhat regularly. (minimum 5-6 times a year?

Not sure you need to do the "call me every night thing". Seems clingy. Just be upfront with her. Hey you're a young woman, live your life and enjoy it. Now that I am sending you money there is no need for you to fuck tourists. Live your life as a regular young women would like to and then ""thank me"when I visit.

[Catire]

What does a lot mean?

I'm not normally seeing relationships that have more than 5-6 years apart between boyfriend / girlfriend and husband / wife. You might be, but I'm not.

I agree that her age is relevant when considering the gap. It's a personal call, but sure, here in Toronto and from the years I've been going to Cuba, 14 years apart is far from the norm.

As for where in the world are men no funding women. There is a fundamental difference between a man taking care of his family vs a man paying for sex. Men tend to be bringing home the bacon, no denying that -- but that is different than what we are saying here.

The question comes down to whether your significant other would stick around through the "good times and the bad" or whether they're only here for the joy ride.

I've spent a year or two actually living in Latin America (actually, let's make that two or three years, including stretches in Cuba) . I am (or certainly was) fairly fluent in the language.

But Toronto. And Havana. Or 90% of other places around the world. Are WORLDS APART. Let's not use "wokey" Toronto as a comparison point to anything or anyone else.

Yes, the OP's relationship is that of a "sugar daddy" For starters long distance relationships are not the "norm", regardless of age. But trust me that for e. G. Very few people blink an eye at a 10 year difference between couples in Latin America even 15. Notice I didn't say ""norm". I am talking about disapproving looks/stares and general societal disapproval. As I've mentioned, there is an economic angle.

Men don't get financially established or get some measure of (financial) independence until their thirties. in Latin America (can say that's the case everywhere, but especially there) Say mid to even late. Do you think they will be looking for "age appropriate" women on the precipice of menopause. Or shall they strike it rich among the throngs of available 20 somethings? (I'm sure there will be some that do the former, but a considerable percentage will opt for the latter) If I were a betting man, my Latin average over/under would probably be around 7 yrs age difference in couples where a guy marries in his 30's.

even as bf/gf.. the guy will be footing the bill for going out for/to whatever.. that's the reality..(generalizing,. not always.. girls will contribute if/when they can.. if she's from a rich family, then it's a non issue though typically the guy will be from equally rich family, etc. . I am talking about regular middle class girls, etc)

Cuba is a little different as everyone has little to nothing.. but trust me.. the guys with the fula in their pocket are given plenty more opportunity to use their morronga.. regardless of age difference.

Nota bene: Latin American girls / women grow up much faster than American / Canadian girls. I mean mentally. Latin American girls don't go to their universities to get wasted on alcohol and do drunken hookups the way it works in North America.

Anyways. I was talking about simple potential couples. I'll let you characterize / categorize the relationship the OP is embarking on.

And let's not even get into couples and relationship in Africa. Where all sex (even married sex is by nature blatantly "transactional) (most certainly all BF / GF sex is).

btw.. in the U.S .. Tinder and casual observation tells me that there is no shortage of early 20 somethings or even collegiate who are very open to if not openly searching for a sugar daddy. the really hot ones have no need to advertise it .. they already get plenty of attention and possible suitors/daddies in everyday life situations.

I too am a sucker who is in contact with two ridiculously hot looking 20 years old Cubanas. Think 9 or 10 on the scale. They are friends and I do threesomes with them for 100 CUC total cost. The main girl gives me the full GFE for 3-4 hours for 80 CUCS, cuddling and kissing for hours after sex. I do not mind paying that at all, it is not a lot of money to me and I get treated like a king when I'm there. I do send them recharges but not much. Costs me about $25 to each of them every 2 months or so. They always have some sob story and I am weak and can not resist. Anyway my question is that I have been using this site https://www.recargasacuba.com/ for the recharges. Can anybody tell me if this is the best site? You mentioned DING. The one I use gives promotional bonuses that vary from month to month but they always get more credit than I spend on the recharges.

Do you need to borrow 20 bucks to buy a membership here? I can lend you 20 bucks, that way, I could recharge your phone.

[Hyrul]

How the guy wants to spend his money is his business. I wouldn't do it, but he'll learn the hard way. . With queenlike monthly allowance, she'll be riding the Cuban pinga.

But saying 14 is a "lot" (what does that mean, exactly? In Cuba, or REGARDLESS of which country you are in shows cultural ignorance. Stick with North America (does that include, Mexico, BTW? They're in North America).

What's more relevant is her age. If she's 17 and he 31,14 could be a LOT. (though not so much in Latin America, that 's not particularly shocking). If she's 21 and he's 35. (actually, the perfect marriageable couple there would be like guy 35-36 and woman 23-25) That is often a typical couple in Latin America, where men do not get financial means or houses until late in their lives.

If she's 30 and he's 44 . The age difference means little. If she's 35 and he's 49 (and beyond going forward) it increasingly means NOTHING. ZERO. NADA. Even in "North America".

dude.. just where outside of Europe and Canada, (perhaps with some exception is say Singapore, HK etc) are women NOT GETTING FUNDED by the guy REGARDLESS of the age difference?? do you realize we live on a very big planet where lifestyles and cultural values, etc don't even
come closing to conforming to "North America's"?

[AmorPorFavor]

I've had a very similar experience with a Cubana. I met her 4 years ago and she is the most awesome chick I have ever meet. Been back to Cuba almost, well it will be 10 times this February. To be short, I have spent a lot of time with this beautiful Cuban girl.

A little background on me. I have traveled at least half way around the World, been to Africa many times, Colombia, Peru, Amsterdam and many places in between. And I have banged chicks in every country. Cuba is not my first rodeo.

So back to this Chicka, Would I marry her? I think I would if I could bring her to the States. But in the current political climate, I don't see that happening, I'm just not going to subject myself to all the redtape.

Do I send her money? Yes, I do help her and her family out. It's not much to me, but it is a God send to them.

I too am a sucker who is in contact with two ridiculously hot looking 20 years old Cubanas. Think 9 or 10 on the scale. They are friends and I do threesomes with them for 100 CUC total cost.

[Catire]

14 years is a lot -- regardless of which country you're in. That's the cold truth. Women in Cuba who are with men that are 14 years older than them are usually getting funded by them. Likewise, in North America, 14 years is a lot.

How the guy wants to spend his money is his business. I wouldn't do it, but he'll learn the hard way. . With queenlike monthly allowance, she'll be riding the Cuban pinga.

But saying 14 is a "lot" (what does that mean, exactly? In Cuba, or REGARDLESS of which country you are in shows cultural ignorance. Stick with North America (does that include, Mexico, BTW? They're in North America).

Hyurl, Mr. Gogo, Muzungufotsy, and Dg8787.

She has given me passwords for her Facebook account where she has all the mongers added, and asked me to delete everyone that I don't want on her friends list.



,

Now I know why she deleted me and friend requested me with a different profile. Thanks for the clarification!

[Hyrul]

Hyurl, Mr. Gogo, Muzungufotsy, and Dg8787.

Thank you all for your advice. All are very good and valid points.

Although I don't want this to become a relationship therapy there, I would like to answer / clarify few questions that were presented below:

First, yes, I met her in a bar, and yes she is a working girl. During our 4 days together she said to me openly that she has been doing this for two years, and she has slept with many many foreigners. The age difference between us is around 14 years, which is considered quite normal in Cuba and many other parts of the world. We both are in the same league on looks, however, she has a way to call for attention when she walks into a place. Yes, we did walk hand-in-hand on the streets of Havana without being bothered by anyone. I also took her to nice restaurants in the Miramar area, and she was dressed elegantly as a lady (not as a pro). As we walked into the restaurants, my buddy who walked behind us told me that several guys were checking her out, (guys from USA and Canada who were actually sitting there with their wives and SOs.). So she does have an appeal that can turn heads.

Second, regarding infatuation: I have been mongering around the world for over 15 years. In the last 10 years, I have been consistently fucking 3 new girls every month, and I rarely repeat. So my dick has seen his fair share of pussy, and infatuation is a feeling that I don't really get. I have no plans of marrying her, but she can be my mistress.

Third, she has told her entire family about me, and wants me to meet her family. I met the daughter on our 4th day together.

Fourth, and the most important point- In our 4 days together, she never asked for a single dime from me. Only on our first day, she told her rate to me, which I tried to negotiate and told her I will not pay her until after. She said how about 50% before and 50% after. She stayed the whole night with me from 11-6 am. When she left in the morning, I gave her some small gift items. I am the one who called her back again the following evenings and days, and nights. During the entire 4 days stay with me, she never touched any of my items on the dresser. (The other 5 chicas that I did in the first 3 days fucking started taking my deo, my cologne, creams etc. As soon as they entered my room).

Finally, she has never asked me for money or any support. In fact, the last day when I offered her my support, she said that "Why do you want to do it? What do you expect from me if you do that?" I was the one to propose that. The amount that I offered her is 500 CUC per month. She still did not accept my offer. In fact, she gave me a bracelet that she was wearing to me to keep as her memory and asked me to give her something similar. I gave her something personal too. When she was gone, I noticed that she forgot her hair clips with me, and I texted her from the airport about few things she responded that she is out of recharge and will reply to me after she recharges. True to herself, she did recharge her phone and texted me the following day. Since then she and I have been talking on texts and WhatsApp. She has finally accepted my offer and decided to get out of the business. To prove to me that she is not going to the bars or clubs, she calls me every night and we talk from 11-1 am. She has given me passwords for her Facebook account where she has all the mongers added, and asked me to delete everyone that I don't want on her friends list.

In conclusion, what has attracted me to her is her honesty and intellectual maturity even at a young age. She never ever asked for a single dime. No sad stories or emotional dramas to suck money out from me, and that is something I not seen in 500+ chicas I have done over the 15 years.

Best,

Fortunately, I have a few free minutes at this time and my heart goes out to you (and the situation you're in.) First off, I think many of us can say "I've been there" -- similar situation to yours.

We have nothing to gain by telling you what we are telling you. We're simply looking out for a fellow brother on a forum. Unfortunately, many people in your situation are blinded by their wants and dreams that they think everyone else is wrong, and it must be real genuine love.

She's a working girl, as you mentioned. May I ask where? If it is at one of the main clubs in Havana, chances are I likely know her. Did you meet her at Q'bola, Saltzucar or Iluxion? I appreciate her honesty about telling you how long she's been doing it and that she's slept with many men.

14 years is a lot -- regardless of which country you're in. That's the cold truth. Women in Cuba who are with men that are 14 years older than them are usually getting funded by them. Likewise, in North America, 14 years is a lot.

An important point you mentioned; you do not have plans on marrying her, but she can be your mistress. Great -- no marriage = reduced problems and damage (ie: financial loss).

As for meeting the family. It's a hard concept to grasp for many of us, but the way it works in Cuba is simple; the family does not give a damn and it's of very little importance if you're meeting anyone. If you're providing $$, they'll introduce you to their world, happily. Everyone will know your role (which is mainly financial) and everyone will put on a smile and dance for you.

You say she never asked for a dime from you, but she told you her rate. This is clearly a transaction and I don't think you're oblivious to that. A girl who is genuinely in love with you will not be doing this, even in Cuba. In fact, she would be offended that you're offering her money for sex. Shocking? I know! But that's how it works. If you pay for sex, you're a customer.

Now, a bit of knowledge from experience. Do you know which girls are the most expensive girls in Cuba? The ones that do not ask for money. Do you know which ones are the smartest girls in Cuba? The ones that don't ask for money and are looking to be your novia / esposa. She went from making $50-$100 for 1 night of sex to a foreigner sending her $500 to simply stop doing a job she probably hates doing anyway. So, I ask you, why wouldn't she accept your offer? Of course she would. $500 cuc per month is a lot of money (and no, no one is living off of $20 per day -- that's rubbish). In addition, she doesn't have to be sleeping with random men and partake on all the dangers that come with that. Why wouldn't she accept that? It's a win / win for her.

It'll be all fun and games until 1 of 2 events occur. Can you guess what they are?

1) Another foreigner finds her and offers her more $$ (or she asks for more from you and you get turned off); or.

2) She genuinely falls for someone. She's a woman after all -- a young attractive man that she's had her eyes on is finally interested in her. Chances are, she'll likely go with him and keep accepting your $$, happily.

Look man, it's all good as long as you know what you're getting into. Don't have expectations that these girls will be loyal. Accept it for what it is; a business transaction: I will pay you $500/ month and you will be my mistress when I am there. Simple.

[DeepStick411]

Thanks for your reply. Let me share some of my experience. I stopped sending money in 2011 because they never ask just one time. You do it once and it never ends. I tell them I'm with law enforcement and to send money would draw a flag and I could be questioned. My thing is all the rewards will come when I arrive.

A Cuban guy told me never to try to understand a Cubana. He said Cuban guys are still trying to figure Cuban women out themselves.

I'm a firm believer that an ex working girl could make a great companion or side piece. She should have the sex part down since she was a pro. We all got a past and mine is not so rosy, so why judge. An ex pro will probably grow to being more appreciative of a good solid guy. I'm also with the idea that if you don't live there you have no right to believe a girl will be faithful. If she cheats low key when you are not there, maybe no harm.

I think 500 CUC for guaranteed Cuban pussy that you can fuck all month or have on standby is worth it if you have extra funds. I wouldn't send money but maybe you should let her know you will only pay when you arrive. Nothing worse than her and her Cuban boyfriend waiting at WU for your donation.

If you are going to Cuba every 6 months its not worth it to send money monthly. If you go every 3 months just make her wait till you are there..

Mr. Gogo. Thanks! Great points. Will keep them in mind.

[DeepStick411]

I've had a very similar experience with a Cubana. I met her 4 years ago and she is the most awesome chick I have ever meet. Been back to Cuba almost, well it will be 10 times this February. To be short, I have spent a lot of time with this beautiful Cuban girl.

A little background on me. I have traveled at least half way around the World, been to Africa many times, Colombia, Peru, Amsterdam and many places in between. And I have banged chicks in every country. Cuba is not my first rodeo.

So back to this Chicka, Would I marry her? I think I would if I could bring her to the States. But in the current political climate, I don't see that happening, I'm just not going to subject myself to all the redtape.

Do I send her money? Yes, I do help her and her family out. It's not much to me, but it is a God send to them.

Thanks Ty Down. I am starting to have the same experience. For my next trip in a month, she is arranging the car with her uncle to drive us around, and taking care of a lot of my logistics which I would find hard to arrange myself. Let us see how far this goes.

[DeepStick411]

I hope you did not add extra 0 in typo. The average monthly income there is 25 CUC per month.

The amount that you wrote is earned my millionaires in Cuba. LOL.

Trader911,

Not sure when you were in Cuba last time, however, things have dramatically changed here with the new government. The buddy who traveled me with me in January also had the same impression, as he was going back to Cuba after five years. Five years ago, yes- I agree the salaries were 25 CUCs. Now that is not the case anymore. The new government has doubled the salaries, and everyone has 2-3 jobs / businesses on the side. On an average, a Cuban now makes around 200 CUC per month. Just the rent of a 1-2 bedroom apartment outside of Vedado or Miramar is around 80-100 CUC per month. In Havana, on Malecon there are 20 Iberostar hotels coming up and several high rise expensive apartment buildings. The Cuba / Havana as we know is on the verge of a major change.

All this data has been confirmed to me by multiple Cuban sources who we spoke with during out stay.

Best,

[Ty Down]

What do I get out of it? Some of the best pussy in my life, a young beautiful 25 year old Cubana. I don't have to worry about making arrangements for a Casa when I go to Havana, she takes care of all that, She knows a couple Casa owners in Vedado, and they are nice places, right on the Malecon, but anyway, I could go on and on.

Back to the money, the US Treasury Department has recently restricted Western Union Money Transfers to $1000 per quarter, down from $5000, and you must be a relative or spouse. This has put a huge dent in Cuba's economy. For now, the work a round is to recharge their phones through a third party like DING.com, and they (Cubans) turn around and sell phone credits to other Cubans for cash, the latest trend is for US cash, the CUC is just about done.

So anyway, glad you found a good girl in Cuba, there are many of them, just watch out for the pros, they will take you to the cleaners. Peace out!
