The reason many women in third-world countries don't require a man to utilize a condom has more to do with the lack of availability of condoms. If you don't bring condoms and they are not available in Cuba, logically you will be having unprotected sex.
On January 17,2023, in the Havana Times, it stated. "HAVANA TIMES The shortage of condoms in pharmacies and health centers is taking a heavy toll on Cuban families with a rise in sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), as well as unwanted pregnancies and abortions, said Dr. Deglis Luciano, head of the Program of STDs in the province of Guantanamo. " The article further stated, "The condom shortage is not a recent issue in Cuba, but it worsened with the covid-19 pandemic. A publication in this newspaper in 2020 found that pharmacies did not have the product in their inventories, considered one of the most efficient because it is a barrier to the spread of diseases and unwanted pregnancies. The only places where they could be found, and with a limited supply, was in stores that accept payment only in CUC (the USD equivalent that no longer exists), but at a prohibitive price for Cubans. ".

Honestly, the income disparity is so vast that you can probably fairly easily get a girl to go sans. But you shouldn't. I swear I assume any guy who asks this question has already contracted the viral lifelong infections and just don't care anymore. Look, any girl you pay for sex has gotten paid by others for sex. You're not planting a flag. Part of the hobby is learning to make do with protection so you're not exposing yourself to things you don't already have, if there are any of those even still left at this point.

Hey guys, how are the girls like with the use of condoms in Cuba? Is it mandatory with many or do they have a more care free attitude with doms?

Posts: 277The Cuban girls work slower but they know the game.
Its always about the money or you getting them out of the country.
Most girls are juggling a few tourist boyfriends like girls in Colombia, DR, Brazil ect.

Posts: 38Dating in Cuba
Hi,
I'm I've been living in Medellin for the past 4 months and my spanish is decent. I came here looking for a girlfriend. Yet the only girls that I match with on dating sites are working girls and I joined salsa clubs, roller skating clubs and went to language exchanges yet it seems like in Medellin many (not all) local normal non working girls look down on dating foreigner guys, but when I first went to Medellin in 2017, so many local girls wanted to know who I was, where I was coming from and had so many questions about why I am in Colombia.
My friend told me that Havana is a place where you can meet a girl and have a relationship with her and the relationship won't be so transactional.
Is this true? I've never been to Cuba, so any info you guys give me would be very helpful.

Sunday, I found another one, visitor friendly.
The owner doesn't insist he registers guests, but I promised I'll take a picture of their carné and send it to him by whatsup.
This keeps the girls honest too, knowing someone else has a picture of their ID.
So far I only hooked up with a lady friend I've known from previous trips, on Sunday and Monday.
Today I was too knackered, walked all day, so I went home early and alone.
Other than that I've been overdosing on live music, the other reason I came.
LosVan Van, Alaíand Pérez etc.
A couple of tips, as promised:
Take a photocopy of your passport and carry that in your wallet, leave the passport in your room.
Get a cuban mobile number, and charge it at www ding.com.
There's a quintuple offer till the end of January, whatever you pay, you get 5 times the saldo in pesos.
Use the taxis colectivos if you can: Vedado to La Habana Vieja for 150 pesos. The normal fare is around 2500 to 3000 pesos in a modern yellow taxi.
Saludos.
El Griego.

Hey gents,
Headed to Isla de Juventud for some fishing in a couple months. Have 1 night in Havana and would love to experience the local offerings. Staying at the Parque Central Hotel. Can you bring ladies back to the hotel? I read somewhere that is frowned upon.
Any suggestions to make my trip memorable are appreciated!
Thanks.
Moog.

Posts: 1792It's been 9 years since my last visit p4 p to Cuba, how are things?
You heard this right, I spent 10 days in and around Havana in August of 2015, can hardly believe it myself.
I have been living full time in Medellin, Colombia for some years now and thinking of a visit this year 2024 to Cuba, generally how is the situation? The chicas? The pricing? Availability?
Thanks for your reply's and suggestions.
The Tall Man.
Here is my original trip review of my 10 day Cuba visit on Post #4193 dated 9-8-15 on these forums:
Havana Cuba trip report - 10 days in August 2015.
Trip report 10 days in Havana August 2015.
Preface Throughout my 10 days in and around Havana I could not help but wonder how different my experience and perhaps disappointment would have been because of the changes in Cuba and P4 P challenges if I had chosen to travel to Cuba instead of Brazil back in 2000 and 2001. But at a simple "flip of a coin" decision and Brazil and European destinations won out and I enjoyed my multiple trips to San Paulo and Rio back in the day.
I do know for an absolute certainty that if I did not have my fellow veteran travel partner Americano573, whom was so gracious to take me under his wing, if not for him my experience in Cuba would have been completely different, so I owe a big debt of gratitude to Americano573. His command of Spanish (this cannot be overstated in its importance in Cuba) his story's & experiences from his 14 plus years of travel throughout all of Cuba, the relationships that he has formed, the way he has adapted to the changes and the manner in which he has mastered his "game" is not only fascinating to watch first hand in action but best of all he unselfishly shares this information (women too) with a Cuban travel newbie as myself. There are others who have sent me suggestions via PM on this board who I wish to thank.
Much has already been written about Havana regards the girls, the police, the bars, the SW scene, the beaches, the pros, the pimps, the hassles, the hustle, the food, the casa particulars, the scams, the heat as yes August 2015 was very hot, and know that it is all spot on so not much to add to this that has not already been discussed in detail.
By design, this being my first trip to Cuba, I decided to stay in the Vedado area for the whole stay. We were roomies together in the same casa which was a god send. This proved very useful as its location is good central spot. You can very quickly spend a sizable amount of money on all the taxi fares for you and carting around your girls. The casa accommodations are relatively reasonable at 25 CUC a day but you can easily spend 20 to 60 CUC a day when you want to go and play.
The best advice I can give others is to learn some Spanish and if not you, like myself, will be a distant last place when it comes to the P4 P scene and your enjoyment factor. Fortunately my partner Americano573 speaks great Spanish and he took concern for me for the best possible enjoyment that I had with the girls.
The second best advice is do not trust anyone in Cuba as they ALL are out to get something from you. There are scams in every crevice of Havana's P4 P scene especially when it comes to taxi and restaurant meals and girls. I have been in many places in the world and I saw first hand how well they play the scam games. I saw first hand all the BS that goes on at the music / dance clubs. After one visit I will never step foot in these places ever again. The girl prices are absurd and frankly beyond ruin.
In my stay I enjoyed the company of about 5 girls a with a few hand picked by my friend. These were from other areas of Cuba so they were low volume provincial girls. I would argue that the vast majority of girls from Havana are spoiled and ruined because of the way some guys throw money at them. So yes IMHO you must get out of Havana to have any real enjoyment other than just a quick short term experience.
So would I recommend Cuba? Will I return? I could only recommend outside Havana and only if you speak some Spanish and are clever and have some "game" to you. This is not a Tijuana experience where you walk into Hong Kong bar and see a hundred very willing and doable Latin girls for $60-$80 no you have to work at your Cuban experience. I would only return if I would spend my time outside of Havana and if I spoke Spanish or had a great wingman as I did.
In summary I am glad I had the experience and adventure of seeing a new place. Cuba is a place that you must see at least once in your life if not for the P4 P scene but also for the country and friendly people. Not once did I feel threatened, hassled yes but in danger no! BTW I was never hassled like we get hassled in Tijuana at the bars, at most one tenth of what we endure in Tijuana.
Without the consent of my friend Americano573 I will not disclose his program but I can say what a program it is, it has taken him years to perfect and he reaps the rewards each day of his time in Cuba. It actually is incredible how much fun and different girls he has all throughout the island. The difference is that he puts in a great deal of effort and I saw first hand the benefits and even enjoyed a few side benefits myself. Thanks again my brother from another mother.
Know that these are my observations and experiences and yours may be different. That is OK. There are many details left out of this report but suffice to say that these are highlights only meant to provide information to others interested in visiting Cuba.
The Tall Man.
END REPORT.

Hello everybody,
First time I post in ISG.
I have been reading the Havana thread all the way back, but I just took out a membership.
My story: I've been travelling to Cuba since 2010, been there round 20 times.
I'll be there again from the 13th of January till the 5th of February.
I have been staying at the same casa for years, in Vedado near the hotel Habana Libre.
Problem is, they had some major damage with their plumbing in the bathroom and cannot rent it for awhile.
I asked the owner to find me another casa in the same building as the neighborhood really suits me.
He did but the new owner is adamant they do not accept "guests".
I went on and reserved it anyway and I figured I can search for a more suitable place once I'm there.
Could anybody suggest a suitable place?
Ideally in the same neighborhood, say between 21-J-27-M.
I looked around in Airbnb and found some promising ones, but I'd rather commit after I see them from up close.
Budget is between say 30 and 45 euros (or dollars they have almost the same value nowadays).
I paid for a membership, so I can receive pm.
I realize I may be asking too much as a new user, but I promise I'll send frequent reports from the ground and share info and tips.
Thanks.
El Griego.
