Sosua Reports

[Wrx2005]

It's getting better and better. Got robbed at the Merengue. I'm almost sure it was a tall ugly hooker that tried to chat me up, then left abruptly. Nothing I couldn't afford to lose. About 2 K Pesos, a passport card and a Schwab's debit card I've already canceled that hasn't been used. I had it in my shorts, in a Velcro pocket next to my villa keys that weren't taken, thanks god. Well, fair enough, I've been to some dodgy places and never had a problem, so it was bound to happen sooner or later, but it surely killed the mood.

Why carry those cards in the 1st place if you don't need them? Inside Merengue and especially just out side on the street (really just about anywhere), pickpockets are always present waiting to catch their prey.

The idea isn't to stroll out the door with the mindset of being willing to accept what you can afford to lose. A better mindset is not to bring things that you don't intend to use where you are going. You can't assume you can trust people just because they interact with you, and smile in your face. I have learned through the years living abroad, is that its risky assuming a friendly smile and inviting conversation is cause to be at ease and not be aware of a potential scam or ulterior motivation behind someone's sudden interest (The short and the long game). My way is to give individuals zero credibility. Prepare for the worst in people, but be flexible enough to embrace the good when it is genuine.

Never keep money in pant pockets. I always keep money in my shirt pocket in a crowded bar. I got robbed few years ago dancing with a pretty girl. Obviously her friend who was dancing nearby who took 1000 pesos. One trusted girl who stayed with me before took a cheap cell phone when I left it on the table. I did not realize till she left in the morning. Later I called her but she denied taking.

So always lock everything up in safe deposit box moment you come to the room. Take only local pesos you need for food and entertainment.

Trust is a hard word in our hobby.

A bummer!

But at least you observed the first rule of mongering here, never carry more cash than you need for the evening, especially on the main strip, so you limited your loss.

But getting ripped off is bound to leave a bad taste in your mouth, and it's not just about the money.

That, together with your recent bad experiences with a few chicas reported here, I wouldn't expect Sosua to be on your future planning schedule, anytime soon.

But thanks for sharing!

Today picked a Haitian, cute, nice legs and tits (before the bra fell on the floor). I've had decent sessions with Haitians before, but still told her I'm buying 2 hours of her time and got her agree on shooting in her mouth. I was in a mood to have a couple of drinks and have some quality time in the pool. That didn't last.

First, no, she won't go into the pool.

I don't know why you guys keep trying to get chicks with fake or processed hair to go into water. You gotta get a natural hair chick for that.

Fellow mongers,

I prefer to go to brothels and not take any girls home. I've heard the government is cracking down on the brothels. Are there still good brothels in Sosua?

If you go to Sosua, you are already in one of the worlds biggest and best brothels.

Hundreds of girls to choose from, and cheap rooms by the hour right next door to the local bars!

I cannot think of any since Passions and CMC closed several years ago and Elvis more recently. Come to the jewel of the North Coast, Puerto Plata, where we have Oasis and Cristal (both very expensive) and a couple of squalid places only for locals. If you do not want to take girls home, then take them to a cabana (clean, safe and reasonably priced). And if you do not want to do that, then your best option is to stay at Blackbeards.

Is your main problem really with taking the girls home, or is it with choosing and negotiating with free-lance chicas? Because they are different issues. Sosua has always been best known for its variety of free-lance chicas (very few of them are controlled by pimps) and most of us prefer that our money all goes to the girls rather than 40% (say) to pimps.

Otherwise go to Santo Domingo instead. There are brothels there.

[Sammon]

Oh so y'all just going to sit here and not say a damn thing about the chicks that Old Kool got fighting over him on the strip?

I have seen Chica fights in Sosua but this is the worst. That too fighting over Old Kool? No offense meant O. Kool.

Hard enough to control my own bull shit.

Looking for something clean, conveniently located and Chica friendly. How about a condo on AirB&b? There's a lot available.

I always rent a quality condo or villa in Sosua. My time is valuable, and I don't want to spend it in an average hotel room that would cost me as much or close to a great condo with an ocean view. I must add, though, that I usually travel with a buddy, so that helps with the expenses.

I never had a problem bringing someone in, but lately, I don't know maybe a year or 2, I've noticed a consistent trend against bringing guests. If it's not flat out ban on outside guests, then it's something like the villa I've booked for my next trip. You're supposed to bring your chica in a closed car; she's not supposed to be seen anywhere outside the villa including the porch and the PRIVATE pool, and if an issue arises with the police, they kick you out and get to keep the rent. I still booked the place because it looks great, and I still get to play, hopefully, but I don't like it one bit.

The point is, if the listing doesn't contain a specific policy, always ask the host if your desired activities aren't banned.

Now, I don't know if this shit is really enforced, but it's totally fucked up for a town, which prosperity badly depends on adult entertainment.

[OldKool]

Just a regular guy, The great thing about Sosua is anybody can have the time of thier life for an affordable price, Fucking women half my age is a huge turn on not mention doing it on my budget. The place hits all my buttons. Women, food and the beaches all satisfy me.

Must be mr Flipflop, who else.

[Ukman57]

Yes, come clean OldKool. Give us the name of the hotel / bar / restaurant / chinese laundry which you and Oakie own jointly. No-one could be that enamored of that squalid dorf unless they had a financial interest.

Must be mr Flipflop, who else.

Was on the main drag in Sosua for a couple weeks at the end of June. As Darkness fell, the selection of great choices rose. It seemed as though everyone was asking 3000 pesos for an hour or two of companionship but with a little negotiations 1500 pesos would always do the trick. Never pay more than you need to.
