Bogota Reports

[Igor54]

Your info is partially inaccurate. Laws in Colombia arent determined by the Mayors nor varies by municipalities. The mayors or city controlled authorities regulate the Brothels and "tolerance zones" which they can operate in, and also enforces various activities to diminish pimping, trafficking, child sex, etc. Trafficking statutes (Law 985) in Col is federal, and punishment is 13-23 yrs for minor exploitation which is the main focus.

As for prostitution itself, it is fully legal in Colombia, period. If a brothel is operating without proper licenses or in non-auth zones, they can detain or fine all workers including customers, so research and read more carefully on that newstory you wrote, has nothing to do with the practice of illegal prostitution in Col.

There is a problem, any law and any country, if they close you in 48+ hours is the cell, you will start to behave / think differently about what you think in terms " I am a cool guy" it s just a human psychology.

Not a legal scholar but I'm not sure where T-629/10 said that prostitution is neither legal or illegal. The case in summary was from a prostitute that was fired by the bar where she worked because she was pregnant (a bit more complicated than this as it was a high risk pregnancy but anyways). In trying to receive basically unemployment assistance from the Ministry of Social Protection after being fired she was denied as the bar did not provide a reason for her dismissal. She filed suit against the bar for damages. The lower court said that the employment contract was illegal between the woman and the bar. However, the constitutional court which ultimately has control said that prostitution is a lawful activity in Colombia provided certain things are followed (primarily that it is of her own free will among other things. If anything this proved above all that prostitution is legal. As far as whether it's in zones of tolerance I don't know the specifics but just wanted to make it clear that prostitution is legal and it is not a gray area. This ruling reiterates that.

You are wrong. Prostitution is not legal. There is a lack of regulation and it is not fully legal as the job the of prostitutes is not recognized as a liberal profession. There are plenty of rules from the supreme court on the matter. If you are so interested go and read ruling T-629/10. In there it is well explained that it is not legal but also not ilegal. Prostitutes and customers are protected only in the tolerance areas. Elsewhere both could be fined.

Planning a visit in about a month. Is it just me or has the quality of SA girls in Bogota gone down in the last year?

I figured out what's going on. I had Bogota as a saved location for the search but when I did a new search and typed Bogota, I got way more results. Not sure why, must be a bug or something. Anyone using the saved location or main location feature is severely limiting their options.

Looks like we are back to the Uber argument again. Some say it is legal because it exists and is somewhat widespread. Others say no, it is just tolerated and a gray area.

While we were hanging out another board member posed the question if we would rather fuck an ugly chick or a pretty trans. I said that well since I am into chicks and not dudes then of course the ugly chick. Both of them said they would fuck the pretty trans. Beauty is subjective, but it is pretty conventional what a dude and a chick are. Yeah, I am going to take the ugly chick every time over the subjectively pretty dude. Not everybody thinks she is ugly, but everybody knows he is a dude.

To this I say thank God life isn't full of only either / or propositions! Plenty of other choices to be had LOL!

[Mr Enternational]

I personally don't like the clubs tho. I never understood what was so great about getting ripped off on drinks and shit, if I want to drink I get the cheap bottle of tequila at D1, if I want to fuck I go get a 30 k street girl. If I'm paying extra it's for extras, why would I want to pay more for less just because it is inside a club?

Because some guys like a fun party atmosphere and are willing to pay for that, while other guys like me and you are focusing on fucking. There was a BM in Thailand that would go out to the clubs every night and spend a couple hundred dollars on drinks then over $100 for the girl. I had always said you could fuck those same girls for $30 without the club. Everybody swore it was impossible.

My question was where are those so-called stunners in the daytime. Are they locked up in a dungeon and only take a secret tunnel every night to get to the clubs? Nope. Those are the same chicks you see walking around in the daytime and in the street with pajamas on going to get food before work.

Well during the pandemic the clubs were shut down so he resorted to the apps. And who did he hook up with on the app for $30? One of the same club chicks that he had paid 5 times that before. The difference was that she was not club-ready or in the club. He complained that she was dressed in pajamas and had a baseball cap on when she came over. Yeah but like I said they are the same damn girls. He then came to the conclusion that it was the party atmosphere in the club that does it for him.

Planning a visit in about a month. Is it just me or has the quality of SA girls in Bogota gone down in the last year? I haven't upgraded to premium yet, could it be that a lot of the girls keep their profile hidden to basic members? Is that even a thing? Also looking for suggestions for clubs / massage / casas in Chapinero, Teusaquillo, and Usaquen. Last year I wasted a bunch of time going to places on the map only to find they were closed or maybe I just couldn't find them. Basically I'm just looking for some somewhat recent intel on what's decent north of Santa Fe. Thanks.

Went into one of the clubs on primero de mayo drunk and alone. I sit down and a girl is very pushy to order a bottle, so I did. Once we started drinking she kept trying to push me to drink more. Then I tried to leave and the front door guy said I can't leave because cops are outside. It's after hours at that point. Manager tells me to go back upstairs and wait. Moments later he said I can leave through the back door. I'm escorted to back and three dude attack and wrestle me to the ground. While they hold me down the girl grabbed everything from my pockets. The manager then comes in and tells the guys to lock me in one of the rooms. Minutes later they come in the room and they try to give me Gatorade. I said no. Knowing its been scoped. They keep trying almost force me to drink. But I don't budge. They eventually let me leave with 20 k for taxi. They stole 300 k and a cell phone and my belt. I got lucky. They could have knifed me or pulled a gun. The whole club was in on it. I went back to that area with some friend later that year. Went to the bigger clubs like Texas and can't remember the other name and had a great time during the hours of 10 pm. Mid-night. Moral of the story is don't go there alone and don't get drunk.

.

I already wasn't much of a club guy, but you have given me a whole new reason (besides it being a ripoff) not to visit the clubs. I will stick to the streets LOL.

I remember when I was in bogotá I want to say like February of 2021 and alot of those clubs were closed due to covid. And I think you were only supposed to be outside on certain days I can't remember, but anyways I think alot of those club girls were working the street. One particular corner (I think where hotel J Vargas is) had like 80 girls all posted on the one corner. I remember it was amazing.

I personally don't like the clubs tho. I never understood what was so great about getting ripped off on drinks and shit, if I want to drink I get the cheap bottle of tequila at D1, if I want to fuck I go get a 30 k street girl. If I'm paying extra it's for extras, why would I want to pay more for less just because it is inside a club?

But thanks for sharing this story. And f*ck the clubs.

Prostitution is only legal in the "zona de tolerancia" in SantaFe area. In fact, the attitude of the police towards prostitution depends very much on the orders of the politician ruling the city. A few years ago a major was very much against prostitution and they made a raid on the mezzanines in street 104. They charged a few of the guys taking "services" in there with "induction to prostitution" which is declared a felony according to article 213 of the criminal code. The police kindly invited some tv news stations to the raid and some of the guys were seen handcuffed and taken out half dressed into police vans. They covered their faces though. It was a shit show. Now the Major doesn't care much about prostitution as long as no minors are involved. However being the crazy woman she is, this could really change anytime. I am not saying this will happen, just wanted to point out that prostitution is not 100% legal in Colombia.

Don't forget prostitution is legal in Colombia. While I was there, there were multiple groups of police around Santa Fe. Many right in front of the girls. I think it's odd to view this (for me at least) as I'm from the states and we have a backwards way of thinking about prostitution. But, there's not really anything they can pull you up for unless you're actually breaking a law. I get the impression, and I could be wrong, that the Colombian police unlike some Mexican border town police are not known for doing questionable "stops" or "threats to take you to the station" for bribes.

Obviously it's a different story at the airport. Again, it's not illegal but sex tourism is generally frowned upon, so it's not something that you're going to say to the immigration officer when you land in Colombia. "Yeah, I'm coming to shoot a load of cum over as many hot girls faces in Santa Fe" nor when you are coming back into the states as prostitution is illegal here. You should always have a plan as to what to say. So, know places that you plan to visit as a tourist, restaurants or food you'the like to try, shops that you want to go to, etc.

How do authorities feel about foreigners vacationing in Colombia for sex tourism? Will police target you to bribe you for money?

First how do authorities know you're coming there for sex tourism? Majority of people going to col are families visiting, even some gringos have wives and gfs there, businesses, or even live there etc. So while some can assume, no one knows why you travel nor cares and even if you're asked why the fck would you say you're there for sex, why not just say "vacation"? Also someone already replied prostitution is fully legal and regulated there. Even cops will guide you to find brothels if you're loss, this wasnt the topic being discussed, was more about promoting and posting Colombia as a sex destination etc that they don't want or pimping.

Don't go around telling the authorities you're there for sex tourism and you'll probably be fine. It starts at the airport when they ask the purpose of your visit. Instead of blurting out "I'm here to fuck hookers," just respond "turismo."

I am always going to Colombia to visit my Ex-wife. And always get profiled. Returning from Cali then demanded to x-ray my stomach, thinking I was a drug mule.
