and downright ignorant at worst. That being said, your answer piqued my curiosity to visit Africa and see things from my own eyes.

And now, your 'curiosity' is titillated (piqued) at the prospects of so many impoverished and desperate people and what you might do with them.

Both are mongering destinations and I can't decide which is better as each city has its own cons and pros.

I arrived two weeks ago with premier class and not as I mistakenly reported with cottiss. Reason are that cottiss office is a few KM out of Tana Center and need to reserve a few days before using Taxi. Premier class office is inside hotel de mellis. Cost around 95 K and I used the oppetionity when booking to try the breakfast buffet at the Mellis. 22 K and I loved the fromages.

Majunga become the premier holiday destination in Mada both for locals and for retired from french, Mauritius etc. They comes for 3 months so its means that all hotels are full particularly when I was there Aug 2018 was holiday. Generally hotels in Majunga are not a good value as I saw 7 of them. New Continental Hotel was the only worth but it was full. Price range from 42 K at Hotel Bella Maria no A/C but firm mattress and very good for mongering to 95 K at New Continental Hotel. Don't even think about central hotel its run down.

The tourist belt start at Av Barday next to "central hotel" via Avenue de la Republique then Av de France and finally Boulevard Poincarre which is the Beach road known as Port de mer. This is where all restaurants facing the sea.

Port de Mer has new gastro pizza which is junk food and new LA Promenade Terrasse which is a restaurant also serve nice food, coco shakes and Pizza 5 levels above Gastro.

Girls can be found in the tourist belt but some may be dangerous so be careful to check if the photo on the ID match the girl face. Also taking photos are a bad idea and can be used against you from that area.

To get more real and adventurous mongering experience I went to cottiss station around 5 PM and many girls was walking you can take them directly to your room.

Overall, majunga is definitely a sex destination, no need to wait for nightlife, with many mettiss girls and some lighter skin. Many girls where very responsive and ready to go to the room without talking to much. Simple as that.

Since I don't like to stay long in any city as I prefer small out of the way towns with beach. From Majunga I went to diego and also had a great time. This will be a separate report.

.. but should you wonder why when you seen a 12-year-old girl breast-feeding her infant in the street? And, does this make you curious to know more about the Madagascar culture now? The equation is people are desperate poor and will do what they can to survive, while meanwhile you have money: that's how sex, money, and age are related.

Thanks for presenting those vivid facts and scenes, at Golfinho. They make me see how my question is ill-poised at best, and downright ignorant at worst. That being said, your answer piqued my curiosity to visit Africa and see things from my own eyes.

[Golfinho]

Thank you so much for the detailed and informative response. I am very curious to know about the Madagascar culture now, especially on how sex money and age are related. Thanks again!

In Tana, you will notice children, pre-adolescents, tweens, whatever sleeping on the streets, clustered together when it's cold. You'll notice young mothers, perhaps impregnated on their very first menstrual cycles, carrying swaddled infants and perhaps (likely) asking you for money for food. Its been said Malagasy society is matriarchal, but should you wonder why when you seen a 12-year-old girl breast-feeding her infant in the street? And, does this make you curious to know more about the Madagascar culture now? The equation is people are desperate poor and will do what they can to survive, while meanwhile you have money: that's how sex, money, and age are related.

2) If so, is it because mada girls want to be with white men? Or will this work with Black / Asian / any foreigner?

It is mostly because they are poor and the economy is so bad that the AR40,000 that you give them for one night is equivalent to 1 week of work at the average salary level. So the pros that are making that much every night are bringing in 10 x what their fathers or brothers make. This is true all over subsahara africa as already pointed out; but in Madagascar it is reinforced by the tradition of a "cadeau" or gift in return for sex, which is strongly rooted in the culture aside from mongering by white guys / foreigners..

It is closer to Manson club. Asia massage is a bit far.

Are these 3 massage places close to Asia massage?

I will land in airport of Tana, Ivato, and will try to buy a ticket at the airport office of Air Mada in order to proceed as soon as possible to Sambava. Therefore I plan to find a hotel in Ivato for (hopefully) not more than 1-3 nights, depending on availability of flights to Sambava. Meanwhile going to downtown Tana and spending those few nights there instead of in Ivato doesn't seem to be worth the extra hassle. However, I wouldn't want to be without female company even so while in Ivato. What is the situation in Ivato: is it easy to contact and pick up girls there as well? Anyone with experience in Ivato? I gathered from BrasilSoccer that he wasn't too successful over there. Anyone with more encouraging experience in Ivato? Thanks a lot.

I know these massage places. So close to each other. You didn't have sex with her? She said 50 k for sex?

Now I know at least one difference between cotisse and other transports like TransTsyTara, look at the pics of their station in tana.

I stumbled upon the Madagascar section on this Forum and read reports going back up to an year. From what I could make out, one could basically smile / wave to a girl one sees on the street, and more likely than not within a few minutes get her number. With no more game than "You look pretty" kind of words. Then this girl, who may not speak English, will be at your room pretty soon for about $10/ night. Some questions:

1) Is my understanding of the situation correct?

Pretty much, but it does depend on venue and the people. There are bars in Tana where the girls are not as easy to land, and if you troll on Facebook you might encounter "je ne suis pas une pute! But in most places it is just that easy.

2) If so, is it because mada girls want to be with white men? Or will this work with Black / Asian / any foreigner?

It is mostly because they are poor and the economy is so bad that the AR40,000 that you give them for one night is equivalent to 1 week of work at the average salary level. So the pros that are making that much every night are bringing in 10 x what their fathers or brothers make. This is true all over subsahara africa as already pointed out; but in Madagascar it is reinforced by the tradition of a "cadeau" or gift in return for sex, which is strongly rooted in the culture aside from mongering by white guys / foreigners.

3) Will this modus operandi work with an older guy? I'm talking late 60's.

Yep, some girls prefer older guys, and in fact that is also culturally rooted. Malagasy friends have told me it is easier for a man over 40 to get a young girl (20 or younger) than it is for a man in his 20.

4) Can I survive in mada without any French at all?

Yes but it is good to learn some basic words and sayings. A few Malagasy words go a long way as well.

(Sorry for late posting, but I'm still not done yet!

As the title indicates, if you love swimming then Mangily is where you'll find a nice, calm and clean sea where you can lose your self.

In fact, Mangily, is where you can detoxify your body and mind from the frantic city life. The surroundings are peaceful and relaxing. (with the exception of the vendors) come during low season! Cheaper and quieter!

Ah Mangily!! Been a while since I was there and had some really fun nights. Great description Brasil and thanks for the updates!! I haven't been on the forum for a while and glad to see you made it to Madagascar! Send a PM and say Hi!!

I paid 30 k for massage and 60 k for sex.

That's what I saw there, Thanks for info.
And I agree that it was a bit strange when the first masseuse from sole hôtel didn't ask for anything before having sex, 20k as tip only at the end...

[Kako123]

I paid 30 k for massage and 60 k for sex.

Yes 100 k or 50 k for just sex but I had other plans and didn't want sex so this nice moment together was enough for me.

What did you pay for sex there?

[Albert9989]

As I will stay 2 nights in tulear plus one after ifaty, and as I want to manage budget, what is your advice for hotels, I saw Serena 75000,but also LE Recife which seems cheaper and acceptable, and there is also hotel tropical but never saw any comments on this one.
