Puerto Plata

[Mr Enternational]

Now I get you. The same thing goes on in Asia. The locals are in and out in a couple of minutes doing one position. But us Americans want to go hard in the paint and play porno star.

CP why would you pay 1000 ST to girl at a local dive when you later go on to say that they go for 500?

Partly the "gringo tax" but more a question of how they are used. Dominican guys will typically jump onto these girls like buck rabbits and be done in three minutes. I used to sit in my then favourite haunt, El Consulado (now Bermuda Bar), and watch guys go into the back room with the waitresses. First few times I used to think "The girls aren't having much luck with these customers. They obviously cannot agree on price or services offered" as the guy was back in the bar within five minutes before his beer had got warm. Later I realised that was it, job done. Just relieving a need for these guys like taking a dump.

I have had many hundreds of chicas since first visiting the DR but only a handful for less than an hour.

But I wouldn't get too hung up on specific prices. I only meant that the vast majority of paid sexual transactions in the DR are not at Passions, Blackbeards, or Clasico price levels. And that is pretty logical when you think of income levels here. The beer that costs US$1.50 to us is costing a working-class Dominican four to six times that amount in comparison.

"Came over to the dark side"? Not sure I get that.

About four years ago I discovered the greater rewards and lesser amount of hassle that comes from preferring haitianas over dominicanas. I have rarely laid fingers on dominicanas since.

. what is a grua by the way?

"Grua" is a crane or a breakdown truck. The Dominican economy used to be mainly based on cutting sugar cane, largely done by seasonal workers migrated from other areas and from Haiti. Often they would create a temporary shanty-town of lean-to shelters around the crane which was the central point for loading the harvest onto trucks and carts. Eventually the word "grua" came to mean a tiny rural Haitian community, even in cases where the cane fields and the cranes themselves had long gone.

"Batey" is the usual word for a rural Haitian village in the DR and usually carries contemptuous implications."Grua" is a step down from that, smaller and even more squalid.

In Sosua,"El Batey" was the Haitian-inhabited cane fields outside the already established town of Los Charamicos where land was sold to Jews to settle. Since then it has become the "posher" part of Sosua.

I will watch these bars when an opportunity comes up but the challenge with waitresses is that you will have to often hang around until they are done and so the times often conflict.

Very often true. But many waitresses in bars, pool-halls, dance-halls, etc, outside tourist areas only work for the chance to pick up customers for sex (500 pesos for a quickie) as their wages are minimal (2000 pesos a month would not be unusual). Their bosses understand that and are happy to see them leave for an hour or two and dock their pay or, better, get a salida (typically 300 pesos). May not work if the bar is busy, but how often is that the case?

I have picked up five chicas from three bars in Imbert. Three were OK, one was wonderful, and one turned out to be a coke-head and total psycho but someone more streetwise than myself would have spotted the warning signs immediately.

That was back in the day before I came over to the dark side, so they were all dominicanas bar one, and I found her in a grua of which the entrance is alongside that bar. The Dominicans in the bar were incredulous (and a bit concerned on my behalf) that I would venture into the grua looking for chicas but I had an interesting time there (including meeting simultaneously the oldest and youngest putas I have ever seen in the DR).

"Came over to the dark side"? Not sure I get that and what is a grua by the way? Thanks much for the information. I will watch these bars when an opportunity comes up but the challenge with waitresses is that you will have to often hang around until they are done and so the times often conflict.

[Charles Pooter]

Charles, would you elaborate on that a bit. Success how, where, doing what, domenicanas or haitianas? I have passed by that road on the way to PP and back and would appreciate the intel.

Nothing to interest you. Just a small town like any other. It claims 30, 000 population (but that must include a vast rural hinterland because it looks much smaller than Montellano, which has 20, 000). I only mentioned it to MikeNice because it is the first town along the main road in the other direction from Maimon and would make a cheap and easy outing for him one evening by guagua or publico. There are about 5 bars there each with a few waitresses and I always found them available at reasonable prices (1000 ST and 1500 TLN). He would need to use a cabana but there is one only a few minutes ride away and slightly cheaper than the ones nearer to Puerto Plata.

The liveliest bar was one out of town about half mile down the side road towards Luperon, located at the junction with the "short cut" from Pto Pta to Luperon.

I used to have success finding girls in Imbert, the next town along the main road after Maimon.

I am a coming into POP and have to stay for a few days at the riu. Nice place but not what I'm here for. I have been researching a bit and have some q's. If you are not staying there are you able to still visit Blackbeard. If yes are there facilities on site to use hourly? Also is it feasible to get a taxi every night to go to sosua and is it even nescessary? I have a good idea of where to go while in sosua and had planned on staying there originally, but can stay at riu for free and include food and alcohol and air for much less. (I am a travel agent trying to save a buck)

There are three Riu hotels near Maimon. Are you staying in one of those? It is 5 miles from there to Blackbeards. So you will need a cab. Non-residents are welcome at Blackbeards to use the bar and restaurant. If there are spare rooms available you can hire one for short-time sex.

It is about eight miles from the Riu hotels into Puerto Plata. There are chicas in Pto Pta but your problem everywhere you go is that you will have to pay extra for somewhere to do the deed as you will not be able to take girls back to your hotel. You are fortunate that there are several cabanas on your side of Puerto Plata along the main road and there is a cheap one quite near Maimon if you find a local girl.

I used to have success finding girls in Imbert, the next town along the main road after Maimon. If you find one there you could take her to the cheap cabana (sorry, its name escapes me for the moment but all the locals will know it).

Sosua is 26 miles from Maimon. A private taxi from the Riu Hotel to Sosua will cost you 2500 pesos return (about US$61). Maybe more if the driver has a lot of waiting time. Then you have to pay for somewhere to do the deed on top.

You could economise by using public transport. This would cost you about 100 pesos (about US$2. 50) one way to Sosua and will take 70 to 90 minutes depending on how lucky you are with connections. But coming back late at night I would take public transport to Puerto Plata and get a taxi the rest of the way.

If you put the work in and use all the options, yes, you can save money by your way of doing things. But if you want a full-bloodied monger holiday with lots of chicas and reasonable comfort then it would be as cheap, and a lot more fun, to have stayed in Sosua (or Blackbeards or Field of Dreams) and paid regular prices for hotels and airfare.

If you need a massage or a fuck in Puerto Plata, just call this number 8295912240. However I don't know if they do speak English.

I went to the place, they ask me 2500 Pesos, get down to 1200 for a short time. 20-30 minutes fuck, BBBJ. I had the choice between 2 girls onsite when I was there.

Don't pay more than 1500 for 1hour. The place was near the center, but you will need anyway a moto taxi to go there.

More or less the adress is this one :

Avenue behind new dock dock

Behind Viara Hotel, number 13 on the main street.

That's what I read on the ad, but better to call and ask a driver to understand the adress.

FOD = Hot Tub. Please get it fixed and keep it warm! Its got a nice location but the last time I was there I took two girls up for what I thought would be a nice relaxing time. It was anything but. I was planning on staying there for 8 days and using it as a base camp while I go exploring in my rental car but am now having second thoughts. BB's Jacuzzi is one of the most amazing attractions in all of the DR!

Taxi's. In Costambar a taxi for the single traveler is not cheap as they are controlled by the Taxi Mafia there. BB's can arrange a pick up at the airport which is nice but not cheap. Find a friend save some money.

FOD is closer to the airport so you can grab any taxi and it is much cheaper. If they do not know where FOD's is just tell them Playa Dorado as the FOD entrance is on the left across from the first entrance. FOD will arrange to have you picked up just like BB's.

[Manizales911]

Or rather is it a lot more expensive? It seems like the easy way to get to FOD or Blackbeard's is just have them set up transportation unless the cost is a lot different.

It's the same as the standard fare, the problem is that some taxi drivers will try to overcharge you. Have the hotel arrange for pickup.

[Frannie]

FOD is directly across from the employee entrance to the resort complex Playa Dorada, any taxi driver will know where Playa Dorada is.

Barba Negra is in the small town of Costambar so the first thing is to tell the taxi driver you want to go to Costambar. Costambar is a gated community, have the taxi driver get directions to Barba Negra from one of the guards at the entrance.

I would give you the directions in spanish but if I don't conjugate my verbs correctly or god forbid I misspell a word Frannie will get his knickers in a twist.

Well, you could just put it into Spanish, but when people are looking for Black Barbra near Sousa, chances are they don't know a lot of Spanish, so it won't help. Just telling the taxi driver where to go would be a good idea, especially if you can find out the correct name of the place, either Blackbeard's or La Barba Negra, or Field of Dreams or Estadio de los sueños if you want to be silly.

Me gustaría darle las instrucciones en español, pero si no conjugo mis verbos correctamente o Dios no lo quiera que escribir mal una palabra Frannie a conseguir sus bragas en un giro.
