Medellin Reports

[Blakman]

Any tips, advise. I will be in a great location in laureles near la70. Can I find out best way to exchange money. Best taxi app to use at the airport around the town. I exchanged $200 through us bank and lost $30 doing so 580000 pesos. My thought is there must be a better way. Can I get names or address of all the casas in laureles. Also it seems like more foreigners like the hunt in el centro than parque lleras. Can I get feedback.

If the USA Border Folks ask you about the "women in Colombia" simply tell them you are gay then ask politely if you may proceed.

Hello,

I have been doing more research on Medellin, and a few girls on the Photoprepagos site caught my attention. A lot of these girls seem to have their own apartments around the city, and are willing to do incall. This feels more convenient for me, since a) I don't have to rent a love motel, and b) I can go to the girl at my own time without having to sit around waiting.

A few posts from a while back mentioned that these incalls are safe, but is it advised to just rent a love motel? Is there a risk of running into anything at the incall location? LOL this is going to be my first time visiting, so just wanted to see what the more experienced mongers think about this.

How funny that the sign in the elevator states " sex tourism is explicitly prohibited". This place was built for sex tourists.

Never been to Energy but similar buildings. In those buildings, the posters in elevator doesn't say "Sex tourism is explicitly prohibited" but "child prostitution is prohibited and should be reported".

The person I'm standing in front of is just doing their job. They aren't there to give me problems. They're like the greeter at Walmart. I give a cheerful greeting. I show interest. If they ask how I'm doing, I answer and ask how they are doing. When I walk away, I want them to be a little bit happier than when I arrived.

Let me state I respect border agents who are doing an important job trying to keep dangerous people out of our country. And as Frank Burns said, its nice to be nice to the nice. But they are not Walmart greeters, they are looking for someone to bust. The more people they catch, the better for their career. Get an asshole or even worse an asshole having a bad day, they can greatly inconvenience you or worse. Be polite, be direct and move on.

Mongering is not an accepted "hobby" in the USA, with that being said, why would someone even "own" up to it, especially to US Immigration, which I don't understand. Divulging that you are a monger could open up a Pandora's box, but for some members on this board they don't believe it's an issue.

Think about the reaction of the secondary or the boss when all mongers are recorded and sent to secondary. I know they have to be kept busy, but probably not like this. This has nothing to do with border security.

I Lesson learned: unless you have great negotiating skills (which I don't) I now think it's better for me to go to the casas. For some reason I have worse luck in Medellin than in Tijuana with SWs.

I wouldn't give up on the SW's in Medellin just yet. The reason you think your having worse luck in Medellin with the SW's than in Tijuana is because most of the services in Tijuana are kind of set on a menu with typically includes a base price which includes two positions and their pants or skirt off, and then you have the add ONS, etc. So basically your getting a menu, where as here, it doesn't work that way, and anything goes.

You don't really need any negotiating skills, yet you do need some basic Spanish speaking skills. You can ask the SW's what they want, and after you hear the number, you just tell them what you are willing to pay and what you expect for their services and that they can "take it or leave it". It's that simple, and this is exactly how the Colombians go about it.

And always tell them that you pay afterwards, and make that clear before you go upstairs with them versus after your in the room. I personally don't like the Vennies that much, they seem to have an attitude like they are better than the Colombians and smarter which is a perfect example of what happened to you, however there are some nice ones around.

Agree; isn't it possible that the immigration officer could be some religious freak who thinks fornication is a grievous sin? It is true that the monger is entering his country but that officer has great power over him at the time and could cause him much grief and could even flag him for future problems. Mongers should be well aware to take some posts with a pinch of salt.

Well that's great, and I'm glad that works for you.

I would never ever, say what you said.

Not my technique, and I just don't say, "fucking them hoes".

Not my way.

If I was in your shoes with many trips like that, I may say, checking out the bars, having fun, however, I'm glad that line works for you.

I never said to not tell the truth, I said friendly and simple, and I personally dont use sly remarks like you, that could get some officer riled up someday.
Have at it though if it makes you feel good.

In any event, the bottom line - have some couth.

Why only for there winter?

Because that's when the weather is bad in northern Michigan where I live. I'm a Yooper.

But I live in Medellin in the winters.

Why only for there winter?

[ChuchoLoco]

Yep, it's all in the answers you give to the immigration officers questions, of which they have no way of verifying or checking the answers you give them when it comes to whether your seeing hookers. I am amazed at how "naive" or perhaps "foolish" some of are other posters have been on this subject. But this is just my opinion.

Great thoughts! Lots of truthful things to tell them and no reason to lie but why tell them everything? Seems like bragging about buying pussy?

I grew up in an area where silence was golden. Keeps everyone out of trouble.

You're living your best life. That is a nice building.

If you're here for a party week I agree. It's the place to stay. But I live in Medellin in the winters. This place is full of loud gringos. It's not for me. I prefer being in a quiet building.

I'm at Energy Living this week.

I would try and avoid places that openly state "No sex tourism" in their policy guidelines. But I have stayed with prepagos even when renting a room in a large penthouse that stated "no sex tourism" . I just added the prepago on to the reservation when I booked the room and the chick just stayed with me while I was there. Obviously guys that want a lot of short time prepagos or don't know many prepagos well enough to book them in your apartment can't do this. But I rented a three bedroom apartment on Airbnb that allowed six registered guests and I added five prepagos that I wanted to see to the reservation. The apartment said 'no sex tourism" but nobody questions registered guests.

I'm at Energy Living this week because I changed travel plans at the last minute and my usual apartment building is sold out. After five years in Medellin first time I've ever stayed here. It's gringo and puta central here LOL. How funny that the sign in the elevator states " sex tourism is explicitly prohibited". This place was built for sex tourists. So worry less about the building's sex tourism policy and more about the airbnb host's "guest policy". The building I usually stay at some hosts allow guests and others do not. Same as Energy Living there is a "no prostitution" policy. Wink wink. Just make sure your airbnb host allows you to have guests visit. In other buildings some hosts do not allow guests. I'm guessing all Energy Living hosts allow guests. It's one big fukin' ***** house. Also the only place I've ever stayed where all the front desk employees speak english.
