Largely a myth. Gals in Del Rey asked $100 12 years ago, and today they ask $100 or $120. They might have agreed to $70 dollars or even $60 back then, now they agree to $80 or $100. And their cost of living has doubled if not tripled in that time. In the late 90's and early 2000's a working girl in Costa Rica could get rich with a few dates a week. Today they barely survive with the same number of dates. And that is the main reason there are so many fewer in the business now. Costa Rica peaked in the 2000's as a sex paradise. It is actually cheaper now for a gringo as the dollar has gone from the 300 or less colones to the dollar, to 650 today. So what has happened there is not that the girls were spoiled by weekend millionaires. What has happened there is devalution of their currency and massive increases in cost of living. And only the older and desperate girls are still plying the trade in the old venues, for basically the same nominal amount they got 20 years ago.

Please sticky this post admin, one of the very few that makes sense on this topic. No one never mention the obvious increase is cost of living till now.

This is true, in the US prostitution is not illegal and its legality varies from state to state. Haven't you heard of the famous Bunny Ranch in Nevada? Nevada has legal prostitution in brothels eventhough it's basically just a big ripoff. Also I believe Rhode Island has (or had) legal prostitution. And in Canada (Montreal) and Mexico (Tijuana, CDMX, etc) there is also legal prostitution. That pretty much covers North America.

Canada used to have legal prostitution, but a lot of associated activities were illegal. Now it is technically illegal for the customer, not the provider. But this law is rarely enforced, some provinces are not enforcing it at all, others rarely. In Canada all criminal law is Federal, but administered by provinces. This law is seldom if ever applied to escort services or massage type setups. But street prostitution is discouraged, and johns have been charged once in a while.

It is funny that you mention that. When I was visiting Costa Rica, I would hear the guys complaining about the prices rising in Costa Rica due to the weekend millionaire guys from the East Coast, particularly Florida. So these guys started heading to Colombia. Now they are experiencing the same thing in Medellin but they may have been part of the problem too. More guys showing up in Medellin, same amount of girls, the prices tend to rise. Supply and demand.

Assuming that's all you have I think you would be fine. But if you also have messages about doing illegal things in the states everything is fair game on your phone. At least as I understand it. I think there was a recent supreme court case that was very supportive of border control though.

I posted in this thread back in March that on one of those shows there was a guy coming back to the USA from Cartagena. Immigration went through his phone and saw the messages of him messaging some guy. The guy told him 250 exit fee and 500 for the girl (no idea if this was USD or COP.) And when you see her arrange the weekend price with her. The officer said the sex trade may be legal in those countries but we have to establish that it is not children or a trafficking ring. They started asking the guy about age and stuff and he said he is an alcholic and was drunk and could not remember. They asked him how many girls he paid while there and he said 2. He said one of the girls was 28. Then they asked him about a group chat and about if he knew some guy in Cambodia. Then they said they had to let him go because there was no evidence of any crime being committed. The video appeared to be from the National Geographic Channel. It was during covid because they all have masks on in the show.

Are there any likely true and recent stories of guys getting in "trouble" for having pics on their phone of young women in sexy wear (bikinis, lingerie, etc.)?

If a CBP officer sees Maria on your phone in a bikini (and she is obviously not 12 or 13 but certainly looks college aged) what is the charge he tells you that you have as he's putting you in handcuffs?

No you won't get in trouble for having normal pictures, that'd be crazy. But if your phone / laptop is being searched and a border agent sees (deemed) illegal messages like for ex prostitution type stuff or young girl images where age can be argued then you "could" get in trouble.

There are some specific cases I read about that I don't have time to search and post now, but found this Nytimes articles from couple yrs back on some specific incidents, also claims these agents have more of a "broader" authority then a police officer locally. So they can confiscate and ask you to unlock your device, etc. Yes TSA has made some statements that it's not customary that they do so, but Authority-wise they can if they have to.

My rule is, I first don't discuss pricing w dates until I land and in my hotel in mde or destination where it's legal, especially if haven't met her yet since she could be a he, a cop locally etc. We've all eaten catfish right? Then upon departure I delete all sex negotiation related messages except for normal convos.

We all watch tv right and see the hundreds of time normal people incl Doctors, Teachers, people with normal lives are arrested, divorced, humiliated on tv all because they called a hooker from an ad and discussed money in exch for sex.

Law enforcements in the US have a specific Dept that handles just that in all major cities, entrapments is what it's called and I hope I'm talking about something obvious here.

You can navigate it wisely, like call and ask for price, but no mention of sex, or mention sex, but no mention of price (say roses, like 200 roses etc meaning $200). And also when the ad or the girls respond in that type of format or vierbage, you can also guarantee she aint no cop or working w one.

Another way is to go after ads that says no discussion of price of any kind, and when you meet you can also ask to touch her breast or have her grab your penis as a test LOL. If they're working with law enforcement they won't do those.

Dude I pulled over once for a hookie years back and she immediately asked "what do you want, sex, blowjob, and said it's only $100. " See what she did, she already mentioned sex for money herself, and if only I agreed, whichever cop listening nearby would immediately circle me and for an arrest.

I suspected it and I replied as: "wow, can you just hop in my car and we'll discuss the details at my spot? She said "nah, can you at least give me a deposit like $30?" That'd also get me arrested as me agreeing to her offer. I decl and said I'm good and drove off. It's like playing fucking chess.

Those were the good ol days for me. Haven't done that shit in years but was a struggle to get a hookie and still is for those who don't travel. I think many of us sometimes become complacent once we start going overseas and forget how strict this shit is at home and not just strict but will land your ass in jail, career and family fucked and everything.

My comment and worry on my report was that my dude was posting his headshot pics taken together w brothel chicks and posting on social media and sending to friends to brag like he's some kinna player LOL.

Old article.

The "Costa Rica-ization" of Medellin is in full effect.

It is funny that you mention that. When I was visiting Costa Rica, I would hear the guys complaining about the prices rising in Costa Rica due to the weekend millionaire guys from the East Coast, particularly Florida. So these guys started heading to Colombia. Now they are experiencing the same thing in Medellin but they may have been part of the problem too.

Last time I bought generic sildenafil (same as Viagra), price was 1400 pesos for 2 x 50 MG tablets of La Sant brand. This is at Drogas Calidad, CL 54 # 47-29, across street and up a bit from Parque Bolivar. Shop early because there's usually a line. The store also delivers free anywhere in the city. If I call an order in at 7, a motorcycle guy usually delivers to Belen around 11, which is when I pay cash. When I first came to Medellin, I shopped around and never found another drugstore with cheaper prices.

Thanks for sharing this information.

You know if you go back in history by about 200 years there was legal prostitution all over the US. They used to have brothels from Ft. Worth, Texas to Cheyenne, Wyoming and everywhere in between. It was probably the stupid Republicans that started making it illegal, just like how they have dry counties in Kansas where it's illegal to drink alcohol. Republicans don't want people to be able to enjoy themselves, they just want you to go to church and be stupid like them, and they don't want women to have access to abortions either.

Right, they only want people to have sex in marriage to make babies. Next they will go after contraception.

[SavePros321]

I completely agree. Many of us have been around long enough to witness what happened to the owner of Passions (Sosua), Cuba Dave (San Jose), Colombia Jake (Medellin), and the Israeli Hostel (Cartagena / Santa Marta). In each of those episodes the locals were fine when the profile was low, but as soon as the promotion started they were taken down.

To be honest that is my primary concern with the Weekend Warriors. It isn't so much concern around raising prices as them drawing too much attention to the sex tourism while Medellin is increasingly trying to promote itself as a broader (and cleaner) cultural vacation and digital nomad destination. The locals and business people are trying to draw in more families and everyday tourists who unsurprisingly don't appreciate a loud, drunk, obnoxious gangs of mongers negotiating threesomes and multiple leches in the middle of Parque Lleras. If people aren't careful the politicians will come hard and try to clean it up even more than they historically have. Of course Centro will always exist, but many of the other spots will be cleaned up or made more difficult to operate.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is some sort of facial recognition system implemented on the Colombian side to identify all the "Promoters" (YouTubers, TikTokers, FB group owners, etc.) who show up. They will catch them at immigration and either ban them and turn them right back around on the spot, or throw them in jail and let them explain their way out of the situation to an underpaid attorney who definitly doesn't give two shits about how you ended up in said predicament.

Incidentally, there is definitely a correlation between this and how hard it has become to rent a spot where the owner is not screaming "No Sex Tourism! "No Parties! "No Visitors!

Wasn't really a thing pre-2020.

Great because I am sure California won't prosecute me for paying any women in Colombia or Mexico for sex. Glad I don't live in a red state.

The weekend warriors are in fact driving up the prices. True story, this black vennie named Geisis that I have known for several years. I met her in Santa Fe in Bogota and I believe she was charging $30 k COP plus $6 k COP for the room. I started repeating with her and she quickly became one of my favorite girls. After a while we stopped using condoms and I'd give her $100 k COP for like 2 hours in my hotel.

Than last year she moved to medellin and was working in the veracruz church area, everything was all good still $100 k BBFS and spend a cpl hours. Sometimes we go out to eat afterwards, I'd pay for the food but no extra charge or anything like that.

Then all the sudden she started working in Poblado in and around Parque Lleras with all you weekend warriors shelling out the big bucks and flexing your gold chains and all that shit. Now all the sudden like this fast February, she wanted $200 k COP instead of the usual $100 k I had been giving her for years. And she even had the nerve to say that $200 k isn't much and that's what she makes en el poblado.

So yes you weekend warriors are in fact driving up prices and it had a direct effect on my personal life. I really liked Geisis but I wasn't about to pay $200 k like some sucker when I can go to Botero and get new chicas for $30 k-40 k COP with a rubber and $60 k-80 k without. So I had to let Geisis go. Thanks to you weekend warriors.

This is why I always chuckle when I see guys here freely handing out their chica contacts info like candy around here. I've never done that, and therefore I have not experienced this chica inflation others have.

I can't think of one chica I've been dealing with over multiple years who has told me "It used to be this much. Now it is this much".

You guys thought we were joking about the Sosua "make it rain" wolf packs eventually making their way to Medellin to come and fuck up another spot. We were saying this even before Corona.

People will learn to keep their mouths shut about the things they hold dear. But the excitement of trying to impress a bunch of strangers online whom they've never met in person is far to greater I'm afraid.

And what happened to Oster-bro? Did he get knocked by Big Brother for promoting or something?
