Saint Petersburg

[Zippy]

Hi all,

I'm new here in St. Pete and have noticed several strip clubs near me. I researched on the forum and it seems they are all pretty much rip-off joints. Are there any strip clubs that are decent? Thank in advance. Just want to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Going to Saint Petersburg in few weeks time. My company have been so nice and put me in a hotel in Peterhof! Anyone knows about any action around there, or outcall will be my best option? We are traveling as a group as well so I need to be careful and unfortunately not able to change the hotel.

AFAIK there is no action there. May be some streetwalkers, but definitely not worthy taking a risk.

The price seems to be quite good for Russia.

Hey fellas,

Well if you scroll down just a little bit, you'll see that on May 16th, I asked several questions about mongering in St. Petersburg (SPB). And despite the fact that I didn't get a single response, I'm writing a trip report to share what mongering tricks and secrets I learned while spending a week in SPB. So here we go:

1) I was lodged at Nevsky Forum Hotel:

This hotel is right on Nevsky Prospekt. For those of you who commented on this forum that you used bilingual (English and Russian) taxi drivers to monger in SPB, you'll be happy to know that the main taxi driver for Nevsky Forum Hotel, Alexander, is also bilingual. But interestingly, after meeting him at the airport for my airport-to-hotel transfer and thinking that he was going to be crucial to my mongering success in SPB, I never used him once. Keep reading to find out why..

How are the girls at Karamelki? What is the best branch?

I am thinking of visiting the salon, if I could summon up enough courage to go there. Nice girls there?

If you use the search function of this site, located in the upper right portion of this page, you'll find 40 results when you search for Karamelki. Beyond that, you can also do your own research by visiting Karamelki's website.

Well, somehow I hit "Upload Report" through my keyboard before I finished writing my response to you, Cucumber. The last sentence should read:

"So if your attitude about women is that they are property to be used and abused as you see fit, you're quickly going to find that you and your brethren are not welcome in any salons or casas around the world."

Thanks again, Cucumber, for your excellent report, and please keep sharing your adventures with us.

Hey Cucumber,

First, many thanks for your excellent report. You are one of the very few contributors to the St. Petersburg forum who can be relied upon for regular reports, and you helped me a great deal when I was planning my trip to SPB earlier this year. You can read my trip report below this post.

I just wanted to comment about a few things you mentioned in your report:

For me, the optimal location in Petersburg is Ploshchad Vostaniya / Moskovskiy railway station. This is at the more operational and less touristy end of Nevskiy Prospekt. There are lots of canteen-style stolovayas where you can go and eat ok food cheaply and not have to wait for it to be cooked. Some of them are open 24 hours.

One of these is Marketplace, located in between Corinthia Hotel and Nevsky Forum Hotel on the other side of Nevsky Prospekt. You simply walk in, grab a plastic tray and some silverware, point to what looks tasty, and receive your plate of food from the attendant.

Nearby there are lots of salons. This time I blasted my way through three:

- Nezabudki next to Corinthia on Nevskiy (mostly a daytime place, always something interesting there, though there were not many girls there when I was there).

I described this place in my trip report. It struck me as being a hotel in the past before it became a salon. Definitely a little higher class than the Markiza salon I also visited.

When selecting salons there is usually little point at looking at the pics of girls on their websites.

I respectfully agree and disagree. Yes, the photos are photoshopped (to hide tattoos, in my experience) but details of the girls (age, height, weight) will be posted with their pictures. Since I target girls aged 18 and 19, I found the websites helpful in making the decision of who with to have a session.

Petersburg remains a good mongering destination, at least if you speak Russian well.

I respectfully couldn't disagree more. I didn't speak a word of Russian while in SPB and had three sessions, two which I really enjoyed. Girls have realized that if they have Google Translate on their phone, it can minimize uncomfortable silence and make the transactions easier. And I made sure that when I walked into the salons, I had a smile on my face, was polite and respectful, and went where I was told by the madams. You will go a lot farther anywhere in life with smiles and kindness instead of frowns and an irritated attitude.

Very many girls are negative towards non-white people and Muslims.

And that's not because of racism, but rather because of the ugly attitudes shown by some of those people during intimate encounters. I read online that tourism to India sank 40 percent when the raype crisis was occurring several months ago. I had a chica in Guadalajara, Mexico tell me that 60 percent of her sessions with clients were negative experiences, and that these were usually dark-skinned men from India and other counties. Sadly, there are too many countries in the world where women are treated as property and not as equal human beings. So if your attitude about women is that they are property to be used and abused as you see fit, you're q.

For me, the optimal location in Petersburg is Ploshchad Vostaniya / Moskovskiy railway station. This is at the more operational and less touristy end of Nevskiy Prospekt. There are lots of canteen-style stolovayas where you can go and eat ok food cheaply and not have to wait for it to be cooked. Some of them are open 24 hours. There are various hotels in the area, my favourites being Corinthia (if you can spend a bit), Helvetia (small and cosy, great breakfast, perhaps possible to bring in girls discreetly, though I am not sure) and Oktyabrskaya (soviet behemoth, the cheapest of the three, though nothing is cheap here in the summer half of the year). Oktyabrskaya and Corinthia have som ladies hanging out at night. I don't know how much they take in Corinthia, but in Oktyabrskaya they want 7000 roubles, which is way overpriced compared to the salons (and the hotel ladies are also much older). But 37 year old Svetlana from Oktyabrskaya was worth it.

Nearby there are lots of salons. This time I blasted my way through three:

- Nezabudki next to Corinthia on Nevskiy (mostly a daytime place, always something interesting there, though there were not many girls there when I was there).

- Zazerkalnoe on Nevskiy (new place for me, varied and interesting experiences).

- Krasotki (or something like that), near metro Vladimirskaya (a 15-20 minute walk).

When selecting salons there is usually little point at looking at the pics of girls on their websites. Better to see how many rooms they have (6-8 is good), and then to ask them how many girls are available when you call them). The more the merrier, and three should be a minimum.

For Russian speakers I found this site helpful: https://forumamur.com/ . Scroll down to the section "Salony Sankt Peterburga", and you get a list of all the major salons that the Russian mongerers find worth discussing. The discussions themselves are often overly detailed and not very helpful, but it is helpful to see what salons they are discussing.

A new development in Petersburg seems to be crazy upselling related to BBBJ, DATY and kissing. Many girls quoted 5000 extra for BBBJ. It seems to be quite systematic across salons. Perhaps they have become very worried about diseases, and this is a way of basically stopping most BBBJs, reducing the overall risk level in the system.

Petersburg remains a good mongering destination, at least if you speak Russian well. Some girls will play all kinds of games, but if you can handle it you get a lot of personality with your sex. In fact, more than anywhere in the world IMHO. At times it's a bit like being in a Woody Allen film or something like that. If you take it as a kind of participant theatre, it can be fun.

Very many girls are negative towards non-white people and Muslims. So if you are non-white, not rich, don't speak Russian and aren't familiar with the post-Soviet context, I can imagine it might be challenging to operate here.

Hello,

Which websites are best to find long term girl friend? So far, just mamba and russiancupid.com came into my knowledge, can you advise anything else? And according to your experience, with mamba and russiancupid.com, can I get good results on average?

Thank you,

Karete.

Spoiler alert! - no sex or info on girls in this report.

Update on a new kind of place to stay in StPb. Buildings with hotel rooms and apartments (apartments are appearing in Airbnb listings). So I asked some Russian friends about this and they told me it is the newest thing in StPb: buildings with both hotel rooms and apartments. I am staying in one right now (studio apartment). I'm actually in a complex with three of these buildings, all part of the same chain. One of the buildings has a bar and restaurant on the ground floor and I highly doubt you will find any working girls in the bar (but I have not been inside). If you come in via the main entrance you will find a reception desk for the hotel guests. If your in one of the apartments, they just ignore you and you can ignore them and go to your apartment. There's also a mini bar in the lobby of the one I'm in.

When you walk down the hallways, the place has the feel of a hotel, and you will see hotel workers during the day with the carts and linen and towels making their way through the hotel rooms. And if your around the lobby, you will see tourists and groups of tourists with their luggage checking in and out. There is a side entrance in the building I'm in which has access to the stairs, so I don't have to walk past the lobby if I don't want to, but I noticed they are still doing work on the side door and I suspect that soon you will need a card or code to enter thru that door.

What's important I suppose is that if you find an apartment online and your expecting to stay in a traditional apartment check the photos carefully or ask the owner about the building (if it's new) or you might be surprised and find yourself in more of a hotel than apartment building.

I've had a few guests visit me during the day and night and come directly to my apartment door, so reception isn't screening people who enter the building. Girl friendly seems to be applicable.

The only advantage I see to this set up for me is: 1. Building and apartment are new, and everything in the studio apartment is new and working, 2. Price ($30/ day during the summer, which is a very good price for a studio apartment in StPb during the summer), 3. The stairs are kept clean (apartment stairways in Russian apartment buildings are usually trash bins).

Also, I don't think reception will do anything for anyone who is not a hotel guest. My apartment didn't have a bottle opener and when I went down to reception and asked if they could loan me one they asked if I was a hotel guest. When I said no they gave me that 'then why are you bothering us with this' look until I went away.

Many salons are referred to by the streets they are on. If you don't know the geography of Petersburg, this is not so helpful. However, there are several maps that show graphically where salons are located in Petersburg. Very useful.

Sorry to disappoint you but these sites look fake. Most of the photos are clearly fake and no major salon network like Karamelki or Nezabudki or Markiza are present there. This map https://www.rusdosug.com/interactive.php is more or less up to date. The only problem. It is in Russian.
