Medellin Reports

[Surfer500]

It seems like Copa and Avianca may be in trouble in the near future: https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/ne...161216415.html.

I had a trip to Medellin on Copa for April and got credit for a future flight. But this is something to consider for people booking flights now or with travel credits. I'd hope the Panamian government bails out Copa given their local importance but if they suddenly go bankrupt you can lose your trip or be stranded mid trip. Any this is something to keep an eye on in these interesting times and definitely get insurance on your upcoming trips.

Avianca has already asked the Colombian Government for bailout monies and are in much worse financial condition than COPA.

For all of those who want to return, it would be prudent to wait until the Colombian Government formally opens up the Country, and under what conditions. If one of the requirements is a two week quarantine period, well that will be show stopper for many. Nobody really knows when and under what circumstances Colombia may open up. In other words the Country may be open to other Countries but not anyone from the USA unless everyone is tested etc.

So if somebody buys a ticket now for a future date, and even if they get the insurance, they might get their flight monies back, but what about the insurance premium.

Unfortunately there are too many unknowns and some Countries are being very cautious, Argentina just announced it's closing it's borders until September, albeit Countries in Europe and Asia are open but some with tight restrictions which I suspect is the way Colombia will go, but nobody knows.

The other thing to consider is that once you pay for a ticket the airline has your cash and if they cancel they will stick you with a credit, but you can get a refund, but you will probably have to file a complaint with the DOT which a friend of mine had to do to get his refund from COPA.

So I suggest people should just wait, and believe the first flights back to Medellin will be on Spirit and American, the reason I say this is because they are being bailed out by the US government whereas COPA and AVIANCA have not been given any financial assistance.

If AVIANCA goes belly up it, it will be quite sad, as it is a Company that has been in existence for over 100 years and I believe the only international carrier for the Country. I hope the Colombian government can help them out somehow.

Ooh the timing is good. I am low on pesos. I will definitely re-up today.

I'm salivating, the playground is in full swing, and you, and the other rats will have the pick of the litter at bargain basement prices, with the COP to USD exchange rate at 4035 Pesos today.

[Turgid]

Eddie,

You are saying I'm maturing. Maybe you are right. Kind of like Howard stern. His show is nothing like it was 20 years ago. It pretty much sucks now.

I feel I want to be in a normal relationship with a non hooker now at close to 50. The problem is I am not attracted to old women. I still like 18 to 23. It's hard to get that in the states with how people are brought up here. Should I just move to Colombia and find a regular chick to have a relationship with. My Spanish would have to improve for sure. I'm at a crossroads guys. It took 20 years to get here tho.

I know I'm on a p4p website but the best scenario is a normal relationship with a non hooker but you have to meet the right woman. I've been there in my twenties we were compatible, for two years, but then she had to return to her fiance. The only girl I was happier with than mongering. Have not met such a woman since.

[Beaudacious]

I want to travel as early as September to Medellin, do you guys think the casas & strip clubs will be back to normal by then or how do you think the coronavirus will change the sex industry going forward?

I booked 9 days mid September. I figured everything would be fine by then. I bought all insurance options so I can reschedule flights for free. Still really cheap for everything. I'm looking for a travel buddy. Let me know how it goes.

Uhh, since you are trying to be in an aged-based "normal relationship", what are you going to do once the chick turns 24?

It's hard to get that in the states with how people are brought up here.

Maybe you are just not trying hard enough or maybe you are trying too hard. I am from Atlanta. I remember my grandfather being 60 years old and having a girlfriend 19 years old. My dad is 69 and married, and he has brought chicks in the age range you are looking for over to my house before. Me, myself, I want nothing to do with American chicks these days. I was never brought up that people had to be certain ages as long as it was within the confines of the law.

[Mr Enternational]

Emotions and being biologically wired have nothing to do with being a hooker. It's a profession plain and simple, the oldest profession on the planet, based on making money, and it's that simple. Imagine being a hooker at 60 competing with a bunch of hookers one third to half of your age.

Dude, when I go to the pickup spot in Rio I ALWAYS see these 2 chicks that I have been seeing since day 1 there 19 years ago. They are definitely at least in their 50's by now. They have not missed a beat. Always there like clockwork. If they ever had any emotions about the job, then they must have whithered away a long time ago. Who knows how long they had been doing it before my first trip there.

[Mr Enternational]

Mr E,

I understand what you are saying about other jobs providing great service. BUT having sex with all kinds of men is a emotional thing and women are very emotional. Being a mechanic isn't the same. Are women biologically wired for this job is the question. Let's face it, they grow up wanting the prince to sweep them off their feet and marry and have kids. What little girl dreams of being a prostitute when they get older. None. When does that thinking change for these girls.

I was telling you that the act of sex is NOT inherently emotional. The only reason you see it that way is because that is what your culture has instilled in you through religious teachings, and movies and shit. If you threw a kid in the woods and let wolves raise it and it came back to regular society and started fucking, then sex would not be an emotional thing for them. It would be the same as them eating and taking a shit. As I said, in Asia it is not an emotional thing (different culture). Even in Filipino culture where they profess to be devout Catholics and everything is god, god, god, sex is not viewed as emotional like it is in the West. Those are probably the most religious, yet loosest women on the planet. They do not attach emotion to sex.

The only thing that makes it emotional in these cases is when girls start out and guys fill them with the bullshit of loving them and going to whisk them away and take care of them. They soon realize that it is just talk and stop believing the shit. You know how many chicks I have seen with tattoos of some guy's name? It is because when they first get into the business they believe the shit some guy talked to them. The only dreams tied to the emotions, as I said, are the dreams that tricks try to sell to them. But there is nothing emotional about a dick simply going inside of them.

What guy dreams of being a garbage man or ditch digger when he gets older? Occupational dreams have nothing to do with nothing. You CHOOSE your occupation no matter what you had dreams of when you were younger. You were not forced into working at the post office. Nobody came to your house and snatched you in the night and said you have to work at the post office. If that happened THEN it would make it an emotional thing for you. But when your ass went down there to fill out the application, begged for the job, and continue to show up day after day, ain't shit emotional about that.

[Blakman]

Haha I know, I know.

I really don't have the time or energy to play the game, day in and day out. Without the 11th hour option of going to a casa, strip club, Lleras, Gustos, etc. , I just can't do it. I'm no longer in vacation mode. That ended weeks ago. She's chill, and is good at picking her spots of when to leave me alone or when to distract me.

Pinky is a gem, but she's so shy (timido, as she said).

I forgot to mention a VERY important stipulation: wifey will leave 1 day a week to go grocery shopping for her family, clean the house, check in, etc.

So, let's hope Pinky is available on whatever day that ends up being. I also forgot to mention last time Pinky came was for a few hours, and I gave her 100 k, no mention of anything. Next time, I'm dipping my toes in the Blakman pool, and going below triple-digits!

Blakman, any idea when you're planning to head home? I'd be down to give you Pinky's contact info, but fuck, I don't give her snacks or weed, and I don't want to lose her. Oh, fuck. She said she's going to start camming! She didn't know which platform, but she asked me if I had a camera, and then we were taking cedula / face photos.

Stay tuned! I'll pass along any info I get, in that regard.

According to you numbers you are well under 100 unless I computed in correctly. 700 k 14 days. That's 50 k a day. You the new blakman LOL. I have a really nice one coming Wednesday from envigado and I am shelling out 170 mil can you believe it. Met in lleras park night club.

[Blue Touch]

I always find the Botero area on Sundays very sad.

While a few bars on the back streets are open Sunday afternoons, there are only few customers.

Often you see a few 40-60 y / o pros drinking alone, staring into space and crying.

I always wonder what they are thinking of- perhaps their hard life, betrayals by others, etc.

Usually I avoid Centro on Sundays.

Emotions and being biologically wired have nothing to do with being a hooker.

It's a profession plain and simple, the oldest profession on the planet, based on making money, and it's that simple.

The irony though is that some of us, at least I can, and what you have realized, and I believe might be depressing you is how tough being a hooker can be, and the toll it can take on them both mentally and physically.

I had an experience in Athens, Greece of all places last year that I felt very bad about. I was in Athens and went to what they call Studios there, lets say they are similar to Casa's. I went to one of them and a woman who had to of been close to sixty years old opens the door and let's me in. Upon entering, I asked to see whom was available, and the response was it was only her, this was her Studio. I was in disbelief, and kind of winced as that had not been what I encountered at the other Studios. I thought upon entering the Studio she was the Madam or whatever they call them in Greece, but no she was the hooker there.

Upon wincing, she was not a happy camper with me and I was immediately pointed to the door. I felt really bad upon leaving as I had offended her and not by intention. Imagine being a hooker at 60 competing with a bunch of hookers one third to half of your age.

[Surfer500]

For now it is over. Botero Plaza is as it was before the quarantine except the bars are still closed. I don't think many of us are regular customers of those joints anyway. I am pleased to have my rathole back. All the girls are back, all the sacaleros and gamines. Perhaps most notably I saw a couple of gringo rats I recognized but have not seen since February or early March. It was a bit of a school reunion. I did not expect to see so much activity behind the church. I got so wrapped up in the excitement I walked over to Prado. It was sensory overload. I got the hell out of there quickly because I decided the crowd was too closely packed.

I overheard a woman say the wait to get on the metro was an hour. I really hope that was an exaggeration.

I'm salivating, the playground is in full swing, and you, and the other rats will have the pick of the litter at bargain basement prices, with the COP to USD exchange rate at 4035 Pesos today.

Those are some good numbers. But 13 days one chick In medellin. That's love. I tried 48 hrs and had to say let's cut this to 36 hrs. But while you with wifey let me have pinky LOL.

Haha I know, I know.

Thinking of traveling and getting an AirBnb in July. I'm from the US. Does anyone want to hang out in Medellin? I'm thinking of coming and checking out the scene for about a week, dates aren't final yet. I'm in my 20's, and would love a bro squad to go out with haha.

First time. 59 days. All good and safe down here. Just do some research before you come.

[JjBee62]

Amen ME! I am so sick and tired of men putting their lives on the line every day and hearing nonstop about women being victims. The women get an obscene amount of money working on their backs. Yes, there are some dangers, but I look at the life NFL linemen have after retiring or the ones who get hurt before even getting a chance to play. That is the definition of selling your body for cash and being abused. Shit, it is not even close.

I want to say it was 1999. Sometime around there. I owned my own truck and was a mover. I picked up a household worth of goods from a warehouse in Moscow, Idaho, a beautiful part of the country, and took it to New Jersey. Don't ask me where in NJ, because to me it's all just NYC west.

The stuff belonged to a former NFL running back and his wife, who had been an athlete at the you of Idaho. Don't ask me his name either, because I could never remember it. He made a small splash with either Minnesota or Denver, was traded to the other then blew out his knee. His career lasted 4 or 6 years.

At less than 30 he was receiving a lifetime medical pension that was enough to support him in a nice middle class neighborhood in NJ. Lifetime free medical included. Had he chosen, he could have found a good job anywhere in the country which, when added to his wife's potential income would put them comfortably at the top of middle class. Instead a friend from the NFL got him a position as a sport's agent. He figured to eventually earn $300-500 k year until he managed to land a 1st rounder, which would put him in the big money. He settled in NJ instead of gambling and moving into the city because it was zero risk. If him and his wife never made a nickel, they could still live in a safe, nice neighborhood and be comfortable.

Yes, NFL players abuse their bodies. There are serious potential long term risks. Yes, many of them, at least in years past weren't aware of the risks. However, as of the new NFL CBA a rookie will earn a minimum of $610 k their first year. If they're a star add in endorsements. Not a bad starting salary. And if they are medically forced to retire, there's not only the pension but the hero factor. A degree, plus a stint in the NFL. Someone is going to hire you.

Between 32-55% of all sex workers experience workplace violence every year. They get every type of violence from everyone. From their customers to their families, to the police. In many parts of the world, they don't even have any legal recourse. If they go to the police, they go to jail. They suffer sexual, physical and mental abuse and encounter mental and physical health problems as a result, including PTSD. They are often socially stigmatized. They are at an increased risk of disease, unwanted pregnancy and HIV.

And the obscene amount of money they make? Believe it or not it's less than $610,000 per year. In Colombia most of them are earning under $5 k US per year. I know a few who were smart. They saved their money until they could buy a used moto for $500. They used the moto to make extra money and saved that, then they established themselves with a business. Now they are earning $6-$10 k annually working 60 hour weeks and seeing a few old regulars.

There aren't many success stories. A few land a position as a trophy wife. Some make it as a model. Most have about 10 years before they age out. Then what? There's no pension plan. The best many can hope for is a pretty daughter to carry on the family business.

Comparing prostitution to the life of an NFL lineman? Free college. Minimum salary in upper class bracket. Retirement plan. Free healthcare and mental health care. I'm pretty sure that every working girl in Colombia would take that job at 10% of the salary.

Yes, there's always drama. Yes, there are many who actually enjoy the work and the lifestyle. But to pretend that they're all living the dream and rolling in cash is ridiculous. The closest you could come is that it's just like most blue collar jobs. Some employees love their jobs, some hate them, most just go to work and try not to think about it. Some are overpaid, most are underpaid. Some have excellent working conditions, most have shitty working conditions.

Day whoknowswhateverthefuckbutIthinkitscurrentlyApril.

Wifey is on her way back. She said she wants to be here, and I should know that, but she has to help at home. Follow along.

She says 300 k per week and she will clean the whole apartment, regularly.

I sat on that. I was really thinking. I do think I should be giving her something, because even just 2 citas per week would kill what she's offering, if she used the FB Mafia rates (which I think she easily could). Then. I thought, I spend a couple hundred bucks at the grocery store when I really stock up. A big percentage of that is the alcohol. Now, I didn't factor in the tusi she always brings back, which she said was 70 k per bag, originally. So, let's say it's 50 k. She's easily spent (or sucked or fucked) 300 k on that. I literally just remembered, as I type this, that I gave her 50 k on her way out the door, for taxi / food.

Anyway, I eventually counter with 500 k until May 11, but threesome (s) included.

We get sidetracked. She says ok. I ask what type of girl. She says I can choose. I ask what's her type. She says we can search together. Perfect.

She counters with 700 k. This is Colombian Math, which is closely related to Colombian Geography. I had to tell her, "You said 300 k / week at first, and now you are saying 350 k. ".

I told her I spend 400 k on her every time I go to the store.

She agrees to 500 k until May 11. I told her we can discuss post-May-11 at a closer date, once we know what's going on with the quarantine.

I'm glad she's coming back. I want to be all over and inside of her, tonight. I can't wait to get a little buzzed and start searching / messaging!

When I have been living like this for 5-6 weeks, it's so fucking hard for me to justify wanting a FB Mafia chick to come over for 2 hours, 1 pop, drink a gallon of my liquor, and pay her 200-250 k.

I was honestly a little bored, when she was gone, aside from banging the pinky-head. I think just sitting on the computer for 10-12 hours a day, I need that companionship, conversation, and sex, to break up the monotony. For me, it's much more efficient to have a girl here, than spend hours searching, messaging, laying groundwork, negotiating, etc. Basically, all this shit I normally enjoy doing before and during my trips to Medellin. Strange times.

Na zdravi.

Those are some good numbers. But 13 days one chick In medellin. That's love. I tried 48 hrs and had to say let's cut this to 36 hrs. But while you with wifey let me have pinky LOL.
