Day 2

... Alexa asked what went wrong on my TLN with Natalia. I explained that we only had sex once, and for a very short time. She suggested that since I had the girl in my bed for the night that I shouldn't complain ...

Imagine that. A chica believes it worth $300 just to be able to SLEEP next to her.

Did you remind her that the average monthly wage in her country is less than $300.

I love Colombianas but some are on a head trip. I run from chicas like that.

Have fun senorito!!

[Zing23]

I now see that one of the problems at Seaman’s is the limited time in the room. If you really want to take your time, you need to do a TLN.

all the clubs have time limits and security checking the time at night. however, during the day shift (11am to 7pm) there is little or no checking. None at seamans club. a little by the bar at carolina because you have to pay an extra $3 if you stay more than 30 minutes in the room.

i recently stayed in my favorite's room at seamans club from 11am to 5pm. the only problem was: where should her roommate work? she used other rooms that were not occupied. at the end, i tipp the roommoate $20 or $40 for her trouble (she may or may not have to pay another chica to use her room).

I went to sleep looking forward to a repeat with Dianna on day 3, wondering if she would give up her pussi sin condom.

Wow, you got balls!

So my TLN with Natalia was 40 minutes of sex, and several hours of sleep, for $350.

I have also been burned by this. I never did get around to posting about my mongering week on the Island in December (Sorry, I will post some pics to make up for it), but this happened to me not because she wouldn't fuck, but because she got sick. She had a fever, and after I dropped the cash for a TLN, and it got REAL bad over night. So, I got sex once, and that was it. Big time bummer!

day 2
i returned to the boat after dropping natalia off at carolina’s. at one point, i was stopped in traffic, not moving, nor at an intersection, for what seemed like eternity. at least 10-15 minutes without moving an inch. unreal.

i met mel and his date back on the boat. (mel had an arrangement, and didn’t have to return his chica until later that day) we had breakfast together, and mel’s date looked beautiful. sometimes the chicas look a little scary in the morning and in the direct sunlight. not so with mel’s date. we had a lot of small talk, she finally discovered that she liked eggs (benedict), and she told me how professional mel is in the bed. i thought to myself “wow, that’s a little too much information”, but mel got a kick out of it.

we then went our separate ways. mel with his girl, and i decided to take a ride to get to know my way around the island better. mid-afternoon, mel and i went for a ride to further explore the brothels. he showed me where defiance and petite chateau are, and also a couple of short cuts to escape the traffic. later we stopped at carolina’s to meet up with zing23. zing was in the restaurant, and we joined him at his table. natalia, my tln from the previous night, was also in the restaurant eating, and i ignored her. i commented to zing that i thought we had a lot in common with regard to chica politics. i mentioned, and he agreed, that chica/novia management is much more difficult in curacao, because all the girls are in one brothel, rather than rep001tered in different bars. zing showed me his ‘tool kit’, with the ipod speakers, and several cd’s. he pulled out one cd with “romantic” written on it, and handed it to me. it would later come in handy. we then went into the bar, and watched mel’s chica dance. she put on a hell of a show.

mel and i had dinner at the same restaurant as the previous night, and then it was time to hit the clubs. this time, mel had a tln from seaman’s, and i wanted to try out dianna from seaman’s, whom i met briefly the day before. i quickly found dianna, and she told me that she was very happy to see me, and that she didn’t believe me when i promised her the day before that i would return to look for her. i felt very comfortable talking with this girl. i very seldom feel instant chemistry with a chica. i’m sure the language barrier has something to do with it, as i’m still struggling to understand everything the chica is saying. but with dianna, it felt almost magical. either she is an incredible actress, or she was genuinely enjoying her time conversing, and getting to know each other. i knew beyond any shadow of a doubt that my first time with her would be better than the 2 dates i had the previous night. we chatted for at least an hour before she suggested going to her room.

we shared a smoke in her room, which made both of us very relaxed, horny, and a little silly. there was a lot of laughter before we got serious on the bed. before i could begin my “time and money are not important” speech, she told me that this session was not going to be just sex. it was going to be ‘amor’. wow, she knew my lines before i could say them. she then said "no besos". huh? “are you kidding me”, i asked. yes, she was kidding, and then we started fantastic dfk. soft and sensuous, with absolutely no indication of her wanting to stop or move on to other things. we undressed each other. uh oh, bad boob job. i asked her to turn off the light, so we could get more relaxed. it was really because i didn’t want to see the scars on her boobs. otherwise, she was very sexy, and accommodating. she applied the cover for cbj, and after a couple of minutes, i stopped her and explained that i don’t like covered bj’s because i can’t feel anything. she pulled off the cover, and said “this is only for you. i don’t do this for anyone else.” um, ok, yea, i believe you honey. she proceeded to do several minutes of very, very nice bbbj. on went the cover for full service, and thanks to the vitamin v i had taken, i was able to go seemingly forever, but was unable to cum. ah, viagra, the bane of hookers the world over. at this point, we were in the room for over an hour, and security was knocking, demanding that we vacate the room. i explained to dianna that i had a problem cumming inside a condom, so she removed the condom and quickly made me cum by rubbing her wet pussy on my bare dick. it felt almost like bareback. more knocks on the door. we quickly dressed, and left the room. i now see that one of the problems at seaman’s is the limited time in the room. if you really want to take your time, you need to do a tln.

back in the bar, we sat and talked for probably another hour, before she asked me to leave. she said she didn’t want me to see her working the other guys. ok by me, i said goodbye and she asked if i promise to see her again the next night. i said yes, and i headed over to carolina’s.

entering carolina’s, i walked up to the bar, and ordered a bottle of water. there was a sexy blond sitting across the bar staring at me. she wouldn’t look away. it was alexa, my date from the night before, and i didn’t recognize her. she came over to me and asked why i didn’t smile or at least say 'hello'. i explained that my eyes are really bad, and she seemed to buy that. natalia was also in the room, and wouldn’t make eye contact. alexa noticed this, and remembered that i had taken natalia out on a tln the night before. i was now fair game in her mind, and she made a move. she got very sensual in the bar, and tried convincing me that if i went with her again, she would show me a much better time. the little head decided to see if she was telling the truth. this time in her room was indeed much better. no rushing at all, lots of dfk, and a tease with bbbj, but she again insisted on the cover for the rest of the bj. again very nice full service, unrushed, lots of positions, and finished very nicely in mish position. again, a great massage. alexa asked what went wrong on my tln with natalia. i explained that we only had sex once, and for a very short time. she suggested that since i had the girl in my bed for the night that i shouldn't complain. i thought to myself that after a statement like that, i would never consider taking alexa out on a tln. we got dressed, and i headed back to the boat for the evening. all in all, it was a much better day than the previous one. i went to sleep looking forward to a repeat with dianna on day 3, wondering if she would give up her pussi sin condom.

day 1
after meeting with mel in curacao, and discussing the pros and cons of cur vs. sxm, mel graciously offered me a cabin on his boat and his expertise for a grand tour of sxm. only an estupido would turn down such an offer, so i immediately made the arrangements.

arriving at the airport, i picked up my rental car, and drove to mel’s boat. my first impression was that st. maarten is a much prettier island than curacao, with much more to do. i noticed plenty of clubs, casinos and restaurants. however, i also noticed that the traffic on this island is abysmal. during the daytime you can double or triple the expected ride time to your destination, because you will be stopped much of the time in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

i met mel at his boat, and knowing absolutely nothing about boating, was nevertheless very impressed. mel thought it humorous that i was drooling over the crystal clear sound system, while i had not yet said much about the rest of the boat. i explained that i am an audiophile, and that’s what “floats my boat.” (pardon the pun) mel had another friend, (a non-hobbyist) on the boat when i arrived. we talked for a while, and the three of us walked about 50 feet outside the marina to a very cozy outdoor restaurant/bar for dinner. mel’s friend, knowing it was time for us to begin the hunt, said goodbye, and headed back to his hotel. i followed mel in my car as he showed me the way to the brothels. first a quick stop at seaman’s, just to show where it is and take a quick look inside, then on to carolina’s. inside seaman's, i saw a very pretty blond named dianna, and struck up a conversation. i felt some good chemistry there, and knew i would have some time with her. mel asked if i wanted to go with dianna while he waited, but i passed, so we could move on to carolina's.

carolina's is just around the corner from seaman's, and very walkable. but mel suggested it would be safer to drive. mel explained that one should enter carolina’s through the attached restaurant, in order to see if any friends or chicas are hanging out there. the restaurant serves a combination of chinese and other types of food. there were a few chicas eating their dinner there when we arrived. entering the bar, i immediately noticed that the average girl here looks much nicer than the average girl in curacao. i saw nothing less than a 7. many 8’s and a few 9’s. mel had a tln already lined up, and he recommended i take alexa for a test ride. alexa is a very pretty colombiana blond with a very nice body. flat stomach, full chest (fake), nice tight toned legs and ass. the sessions here are a little more money than in curacao. a half hour in curacao is 50 florin (app. $28), while a half hour here is a standard $50, though negotiable. i prefer to not negotiate the price, knowing from experience that the mileage will probably suffer. i paid the $3 for the room to the desk clerk, and followed alexa to her room. as expected, a very standard first session. despite my usual pre-session speech about not caring about time or money, the session was somewhat rushed, little foreplay, and everything covered from the very beginning. a few minutes of cbj, followed by cfs in a variety of positions, i finished inside her. the session ended with a very nice, almost professional massage. i was thinking about how much more i was enjoying the massage than the sex. i paid alexa, thanked her for a nice time, and headed back into the bar.

back in the bar, i was talking with another friend of mel’s who lives on the island. he had a very cute little chica with him, and mel was hanging with his date for the night. mel had the hottest chica in the club. she was smoking hot. i wondered if i might get a chance to take her for a ride on another night, but it became obvious as the days passed that she would not be comfortable screwing one of mel’s friends.

a few minutes passed, and then i saw the one i had to have. what a beauty! young, tight, with a flawless face and body. her name is natalia. we shared a drink, and she was very affectionate. i thought that this might be ‘the one’. she suggested a session in her room, and i agreed, thinking that this would be a test run for a possible tln. once in the room, she remained very affectionate, kissing me all over and getting my motor running. she tore open the condom, and i asked for more time for foreplay before applying the condom. no problem. i asked if ‘chupar sin condon’ is possible, and she declined. i said ‘no problem’, knowing that in time this usually becomes available. i liked this girl, and didn't want to push it too hard. the cbj was actually somewhat enjoyable. her cfs was very sensual and intimate, just the way i like it. i then thought that i would like to get her outside for the night, to see how much better her performance would be on mel’s boat. i asked how much for a tln, and she quoted $300, plus the $50 multa for the bar. ok, i say, and we both got dressed and departed her room. once in the bar, mel had already left for the evening with his date to return to the boat. i said goodbye to mel’s friend, and while walking out, got the evil eye from alexa. i thought to myself, “sorry alexa, but it could have been you instead of natalia, if you had just given a better first session.”

once on the boat, natalia asked to step outside for a cigarette, and we talked and enjoyed the beautiful view and gentle night breeze. lots of cuddling, light kissing, and then she suggested we retire to the cabin. mel was with his date in his cabin. once in the cabin, we had a very intimate time, albeit still with the cbj. she wouldn’t budge on that, and i was a little surprised. bbbj is much more readily available in curacao. again, i didn’t push it, thinking that it might happen later in the evening. natalia’s flawless body and skin turned me on so much that i blew my load within the first 30-40 minutes of the session. after cleaning up, natalia suggested another smoke outside, and i agreed. after finishing her cigarette, she mentioned that she was tired, and ready for bed. what? "are you kidding me", i asked. nope, she was dead serious.

i made a fatal mistake in not negotiating the particulars of the tln along with the price. the reason for this is that i’m used to the tln’s in campo-curacao, where you have all night in the chica's room, and it’s understood that tln means sex all night. maybe a short break to relax, or have a drink in the bar, but otherwise it's understood that a tln in campo is sex all night in the room. any customer who is unhappy with the service during a tln at campo has the option of ending the session, and just paying for the time used. this is a tremendous advantage that a hobbyist in campo has over st. maarten. in st. maarten, once outside the bar, the chica knows she’s got you. because i didn’t negotiate the time, i was screwed. she suggested she will be a lot fresher and better when we wake up in the morning. that calmed me down a bit, (though i deliberately didn’t get visibly upset) and we went to sleep, her in my arms, and me gazing at this beautiful gift from god. we woke at 8:15am, and she panicked when i told her the time. she explained that she had to be back at the club no later than 9:00am. so much for the morning sex. if i had done my homework, i would have woken earlier. i thought i understood that she had to be back no later than 10:30am to the bar, but i was mistaken. that’s at seaman’s. so my tln with natalia was 40 minutes of sex, and several hours of sleep, for $350. when dropping natalia off, i made it clear that i thought i was over-paying for what she delivered. lesson learned. hobbying is a learning curve, and i’ve got a lot to study here. fortunately, days 2, 3, and 4 improved dramatically.

wow, i feel your pain.

for that reason, i don't do the tln deal when in the islands.
i could have almost a weeks fun in colombia for that amount of cash.

Colombia had a major impact in my life, it changed a lot of things in my personal and professional life. But sharing daily life with a Latina was the ultimate step that remained. It’s a strange experience. After having hunted throughout the world, the object of my research is now waiting for me each evening in my own home.

I can appreciate that realization. I have had relationships with girls from the UK, Spain, Mexico, Ukraine, NZ, China, Korea, Brazil, DR and Colombia. But I have found myself totally taken by the Colombian girls. They are simply incredible. At first, I just wanted to think that my sampling of women from other countries was a way to find something exciting and different than the women here in the US. But there is a huge difference in the chemistry working between me and the Colombian girls. So much so that I have been immersing myself in Spanish lessons with the thought of either doing volunteer work in Colombia or taking a job that puts me in that country on a regular basis so that I can explore the possibilities. For me, this is truly a life changing decision---but an exciting one.

Good luck in your relationship, and thanks for the great information over the last couple of years that first led me to St. Maarten.

[Scubatoo]

I am glad you enjoyed silvia as she is leaving Tuesday.

I have a very long report about her when I get back. She is currently resting on my boat for the third night. For me total total gfe. But she has been with me for some time in January and this month also. I believe I wrote her up in the end of November also.

Mel

She did mention to me in early February that she was leaving in 20 days. She definitely made an impression on me and I can tell from your comments that my instincts about her were good ones. Glad you had real quality time with her outside the club.

[Lechman]

Am I still a monger? Colombia had a major impact in my life, it changed a lot of things in my personal and professional life. But sharing daily life with a Latina was the ultimate step that remained. It’s a strange experience. After having hunted throughout the world, the object of my research is now waiting for me each evening in my own home.

Thanks again Zing and Mel. We have grown together in our learning process and through sharing our different experiences we have helped each other understanding and loving our dear Latinas.

Does this mean your out? We can expect no more ROD from Routard?

[Lechman]

My favorite that will be available is elisa room 219 at defiance.

Petite white spinner great body. There are many cute chicas at carolinas and seamans. The managment at seamans is going crazy with multas and a numbr of chicas are bailing.

Mel

Hey Mel,

Are you talking about the same Elissa as I was with? Roughly 21, 5'0", with braces from Bogota? If so, I also reccomend her!!

[Zing23]

I did my first mongering steps with the Colombianas in the Saint Maarten brothels. Mongering became a real passion, .. Thanks to ISG I could find back each different level I went through during all theses years and have divided my guide in five chapters, each representing a different level in the learning phase of Chica management.

Required reading, all the levels.

[Routard]

I did my first mongering steps with the Colombianas in the Saint Maarten brothels. Mongering became a real passion, I tried the to discover as much brothels throughout the world as I could. I have had great adventures everywhere, I tried the major sex destinations such as Dominican Republic or Thailand, I visited world’s best brothels such as the German FKK and the Brazilian Termas, but I never felt as much at home as with my Colombianitas in the Caribbean brothels. I became a real Colombiana addicted and did my pilgrimage in each of these islands where these Colombianas go, not only Saint Maarten but also Curacao, Aruba, or Trinidad. I went through all different steps with them, learning how to get GFE, discovering I could get and give real emotions. The first time I discovered I could give an orgasm to a hooker was with a Colombiana. I have developed true friendship with several of them, keeping in touch trough Internet over the years. And of course I felt in love. Each monger will have to face it at least once in his career, I had this experience with a Colombiana. This experience brings all kind of questions as dating a hooker is a serious issue. I ended my pilgrimage in Colombia and felt in love of…a country. Once in Colombia, everything turned out real different. I wasn’t a monger anymore, I dated regular girls. I hadn’t dated girls for 20 years, I was glad that I did this experience again with Colombianas. It made me raise a lot of questions such as why paying if you can get much better for free? Am I still a monger? Colombia had a major impact in my life, it changed a lot of things in my personal and professional life. But sharing daily life with a Latina was the ultimate step that remained. It’s a strange experience. After having hunted throughout the world, the object of my research is now waiting for me each evening in my own home.

ISG has been as diary book for me. I could find back all the different steps of my learning curb with Latinas. Sharing experience is what it’s about on ISG. It helped me a lot and I hope I have helped others too. I had written a couple of years ago a Latina Rookie guide. I believed it could be useful to others to write everything I would have liked to know when I discovered Latinas myself. Since then, I have learned much more that could also be useful to others. Thanks to ISG I could find back each different level I went through during all theses years and have divided my guide in five chapters, each representing a different level in the learning phase of Chica management.

Is the Carolina / Seamans / Defiance lineup is so much better now than typical, or let's say that the last December's?

What about the barracuda / non-barracuda ratio?

And finally, any hot petite spinners out there?

Thanks everyone for your info.
