I have visited Medellin about 20 times over the last 8 years with some trips lasting 3 months. I have even gotten functional in Spanish. If you are careful with who you invite and where you stay, there is not a 'high chance' you will get drugged and robbed with any girl you take back. But even if you are careful in how you screen your chicas, it is impossible to make it 'no chance'. A buddy of mine stayed in a building that is well known for great security and was drugged by a chica who had gotten in with a fake ID. I had to lend him money just to eat.

That people will post here saying they personally haven't had a problem is statistically insignificant.

I returned from a 6 week trip last month. It will be my last. I loved MDE. But for me MDE is over. The chicas are getting more mercenary. The locals are getting more angry and hostile. The street has gotten more dangerous..

I get it. I had a woman in Barranquilla who was really sweet. We met in Medellin and she talked with her cousin who lived there. She became crazy aggressive and demanded more money. I dumped her because the sweet girl I liked had become this ruthless money machine. She had this crazy fixation on $200 and this was in 2021. I considered her a friendly acquaintance if not a friend but when she went into Medellin full hooker mode, I went into john mode and told her she was not worth that much. The greed spurred on by her Medellin cousin destroyed whatever we had. Even when she was back in Barranquilla, she still had the $200 price tag. I just shrugged my shoulders and told her if I wanted to get laid, I could get it for 10% of what she was asking. Medellin completely ruined her.

And it was not just her. The women in Medellin have an edge unlike women elsewhere in the country. It is like a game to see which sex can screw over the other sex first. So there was this defensiveness and shitty attitude towards men that I did not see elsewhere in the country. The irony is a few women went out of their way to show me that they were not the money grubbing, scamming hookers so characteristic of Medellin. So yeah, the beauties are here, but they come with an edge. My gal's daughter even made a comment when we were in Mexico when a bunch of Colombians came to swim in a pool we were in. She said, "Paisas! (people from Medellin) I hate paisas. " They have no use for Medellin at all, and they are not alone.

I have been to places in Colombia where beauties abound, the countryside is gorgeous, and people do not lock their doors. The women in Bogota are not as pretty but they are classier and friendlier. If you are into women with curves, Cali is tough to beat. Barranquilla is where the famed Colombian beauties like Shakira and Sofia Vergara are from and beauties abound in that tropical climate.

So yeah, go to Asia if your dollar stretches further, but most of Colombia is not like Medellin. Not at all.

In 2023 thirty-one foreigners were murdered in Medellin

I would venture a guess, overwhelmingly most if not all of them were mongers of some sort. If you add up every murder of mongers around the world on all of this forums locales, I would doubt they total 1.

So that would make Medellin the most dangerous place to monger in the world, in fact more dangerous than all other locales combined, I am curious to know their clearance rate down there.

I will be in MDE in a few weeks, staying at a female-friendly hotel and meeting the ladies from https://lacelestina.co/ for privacy and security purposes.

I am assuming these girls are not going to drug and rob me.

There are so many videos on YT warning against visiting Medellin. The sex scene is too dangerous with too many druggings that have led to a big rise in deaths of Western tourists. Can anyone with first hand experience comment?

How do you take girls back to your room if you know there is a high chance that you could get drugged and robbed? Any tips? Is it safe to take a girl back if you lock away your valuables and don't take your eyes off your drink?

We can always, always, always count on some asshole to mess it up for everybody!

The street has gotten more dangerous. The influx of Nomads and tourists has made logging costs unreasonable. The Peso has gotten stronger making everything more expensive.

I'm heading back to Asia.

In 2023 thirty-one foreigners were murdered in Medellin while three hundred and sixty-one Colombians were killed there. I suppose there should be warnings to Colombians against visiting Medellin too.

Yes. If you use YouTube videos to get your information, Medellin is too dangerous to visit.

The same is true about scuba diving, if you use YouTube videos to learn to scuba dive, it's too dangerous.

Apparently there is a gross misunderstanding about YouTube. YouTube is an Entertainment Platform. The people posting there hoping their videos will be entertaining enough to go viral and get them enough subscribers and viewers to make money. Videos stating 10,000 people visited, fucked to their heart's content and went home smiling and satisfied don't go viral. However, a video saying 1 person out of every 50,000 visitors had something bad happen might just do the trick.

Of course the videos never point out the vast majority who have no problems, only focusing on the 1, who usually ignored all the red flags.

Yes. Medellin is dangerous. It's a city of over 4 million people with a high population density and a high poverty rate. High population, high population density and high poverty rate are major factors in determining crime rate. Add in all the tourists who go for the combination of drugs and cheap pussy and it gets worse. Now toss in people who get all their information from YouTube and it's terrible.

Staying safe in Medellin is possible if you follow some common sense rules.

1. Get the fuck off YouTube. It's for cute cat videos and to watch fat women fighting in Walmart.

2. Stay sober.

3. Know where you are going. Study maps and have a plan.

4. Don't advertise. Leave your jewelry and all the expensive shit at home.

5. Carry only what you need. You don't need a wallet, 8 credit cards and $2,000 USD in cash. You need a phone, preferably 1 that isn't holding access to all your accounts. You need the cash (in pesos) you're going to spend plus 10-20%. You might need an ATM card, plus copies of your passport main page and entry stamp page.

6. Remember that you have no friends. Anyone offering to help you find girls, drugs, places to party or anything else, probably has an ulterior motive. Same goes for anyone offering drinks, or to take you somewhere.

7. Be wary of anyone offering drinks, or offering sex upon first meeting (unless you're meeting them specifically to pay for sex). Same is true for someone pushing to go to your apartment.

8. Don't leave hookers unattended with your stuff. Don't allow them to get you drinks or food.

You Don't like these?

I didn't say I didn't like them. I said that I didn't think it was good for the hobby. And no need for me to stay home. I have plenty of other options amigo.

[World Travel 69]

You Don't like these?

Stay Home.

I don't know that I agree that all aspects of sex should be private, but I do think that at the end of the day, streetwalking is not good for the hobby. It's too out in the open to the public to where it gives those who would like to ban all forms of prostitution altogether some easy ammunition to bolster their arguments for doing so. If we must err in one direction, then more discreet and low-key is definitely better overall.

[The Cane]

In my personal opinion, banning Street walking in the Gerace areas is a very good thing. I am strongly biased against street walking. Kind of like several of our other biological needs, I prefer all aspects of sex to be in private, including sourcing of it. Me personally, I would love to see Lleras go back to how it was six years ago. Please, nobody be upset with me. That is just purely a personal opinion. It is No judgment on people who feel differently.

Bro. It seems highly likely that English may not be your primary language. Please note that the word "sex trafficking" has a significant negative meaning attached to it. We all know why you are coming to Medellin and lets not call that sex trafficking. LOL.

By the way, there is no general ban on prostitution. Prostitution is almost a constitutional right in Columbia. No one can ban it. But cities are allowed to apply restrictions in certain areas for a maximum of six months. After that they have to either renew the restriction or drop it. That is the law.

Mayor, mainly under political pressure from opposition, decided to make these two restrictions. 1) street walking prostitution is not allowed in Parque Lleras and centro. 2) bars within the two blocks of lleras have to close by 1 AM. That is it. Rest of the life in all of Medellin is just as usual. Unless you were planning to come to the city exclusively for the street walkers in these two zones, there is no reason to be worried about the trip.

Centro was not part of the decree. Only Poblado was mentioned in the decree and only a specific area outlined as a hexagonal area including parque lleras, parque poblado, parque presidential, and some other areas maybe Provenza or Calle 10.

Also according to reports here it is not even being enforced. The 1 am thing was being enforced for like 2 or 3 days and then it was changed to 3 am which is only 1 hour earlier than before the decree and I'm sure there are clandestine bars open even later.

I wrote this post the other day and came across this today while Googling for information on sex trafficking in Medelland.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...ors-rcna146261

From this article, it looks like the mayor of Colombia has banned prostitution.

Guys, am I fucked?

I am an Asian young man going to South America for the first time.

I have already booked a flight to Medellin via LA and I can't cancel this booking.

Fortunately, I haven't booked any accommodations yet, but once I land in Medelland airport, should I head to Bogot?

People in Colombia, please tell me, is the sex trade in Colombia doomed? Or is it just a market bluff? Isn't Colombia a country run by drug cartels? Is it possible to do something like that?

Please. I had watched dozens and dozens of videos on YouTube of working girls with huge butts shaking their asses in jeans on the street and now I was on my way to South America to fulfill my dream.

Has sex trafficking definitely decreased? Or is it only affecting clubs and bars? I want to pick up a street hookerI want to pick up a girl with a big ass on a photogenic street! Please! Help me westerners!

I have been through hundreds of sex trafficking in Korea and Japan and I can tell you anything you want to know about sex trafficking in Korea and Japan. Please help me.

First, it is the mayor of Medellin, not Colombia. And the ban, or whatever it is, applies only to a part of the city. Read back for more details if you want. The YouTube videos are probably not helping you. They paint a very distorted picture generally. And the sex trade in Colombia is not doomed, but the current moves may make it harder for foreigners as there have been actions taken in Cartagena and in Medellin to curb some of the real problems, plus some imaginary problems.
