Sosua Reports

i grew up in europe, but also lived for over 30 years in the caribbean and in the usa. i have been a lap swimmer for decades.

growing up in europe everyone-every male swimmer or sunbather-wore briefs and it was never an issue with anyone, and i never remember anyone commenting on the outline of another man's genitals, or anything like that. when i came to live on the western bank of the atlantic, i found that people from the us always wore surfer shorts due to the fact that they were embarrassed that brief swimsuits might outline their genitalia, or lack of, to public view.

brief bathing trunks have absolutely no such connotation in europe, where nude beaches are pretty common too, but i am not sure what pertains in the dr. a lot of dominicans don't have swimsuits, so they just jump in the ocean or pool in shorts, t-shirts, and whatever casual gear they are wearing.

swimming briefs or speedos are very practical if you swim a lot as they dry quickly and can be worn underneath shorts as underwear or as a support garment. they also make it possible to get an almost full body sun tan, which surfer shorts certainly don't.

i suspect that dominicans think that speedos on the beach suggest homosexuality, but i doubt whether they really see italian tourists wearing briefs as an urgent matter of public policy or as something that affects tourism, otherwise they would surely be banning women's bikinis too.

i usually wear surfer shorts these days, but would prefer briefs for swimming.

do you personally find swimming briefs offensive and would you divert your family from a beach where they were in evidence?

[quote=revere;1450937]just a joke please do not take offense. i do not care what people wear on the beach.[/quote]no offense taken, but i am just interested in what people find offensive and this is not the first time speedos have been mentioned on this board as something apparently distasteful to some people. personally i would not even notice what people are wearing on the beach unless it was brought to my attention by someone else.

there is no limit to what people will take offense at. back in the early 60's when the beatles and the rolling stones were something new, if we saw a man wearing long hair, my dad would stiffen like a hunting dog sighting a target and say something like: "is that a man or a woman? are you sure?" and give every appearance of being under great stress and anxiety, when it was perfectly obvious that the guy was a guy. that was how men of his generation who served in world war ii were conditioned to behave, but now such a thing seems quite absurd. the speedo thing seems like that to me.

Oh, those days are gone on this thread.

Nothing left but arguing and bullshit!

I got a very strange, and unusual request, hope I don't get locked up for this idea. How about us pretending this is a "chat hoard" and further moregoing to "Sosua" then posting (I'm redundant I know) but high lights, low lights or no lights at all. Just imagine an "actual live trip report" Wow gives me goosebumps", Shoutout to Chris Long for bringing out a rarety an actual "trip reports with photos" (Un believable!) Maybe aliens do exists! Tomjackin ill be right behind you with a 5 day, Sosua trip in Oct 12-17th, If any of you are in the area, I will try and report my finding. Okay back to our regularly schedule programming "racist blacks vs gringos" and racist gringos vs blacks" Mr Gogo great positive spin, but you've been on this board a helluva lot longer than I have and this rumor ridden racist shit will never stop. I don't think its been reported (no less than a million times) Peter have been arrested and Passions shut down.

[QUOTE=Zedman99;1451002]You don't even have a clue about cruise ships and their customers habits, Or maybe I'm wrong and like the investigation you can give us the rundown on : How much more will be spent from the Love Boat vs Lovin'Mongers. Go ahead I'm waiting GOPHER.[/QUOTE]Cruise ship passengers are typically not wealthy and enjoy cruises because they are all-inclusive. Add to that the name of the game for cruise ship operators is to fleece their cargo of what spending money they have left via the on-ship bars, casinos, shops, beauty salons, etc. Tickets for day excursions on land are typically sold on board for double the price that they would actually cost if you bought them on land. There is only one thing that they can't offer on board. What could that be?

Can you guess?

No! Cuban cigars! What [red]were[/red] you thinking?

Once again, monger activities versus other ventures is a no brainer. Most ports cities start what sosua is doing and push the seedy to the edges of Tourist area away from walking distance. They give a rats ass about night time activities but day time seedy ain't going to work. You don't want comments in travel

Expedia etc talking about the port as they do Sosua hotels.

But I'm Just Guessing I don't work in development.

[QUOTE=Chris Long; 1450759]I had over 15 women in four days

Chris[/QUOTE]Wow that is quite impressive. Morning, day and night I guess. Your reports as always are very practical and useful, which does not seem to be the direction this thread has been heading for some time. Keep up the great work and fantastic photos. I also enjoyed your Pattaya and Bangkok contributions.

Went for a weekend and stayed at Wilfrieds place Casa Cayana. As always the hospitality is five stars and the breakfast is slammin in the morning. Great location and hope it goes well for my friend. Hooked up with two cuties. Both freaks in the bed but the one with the frizzy hair has a slammin bod. Everyone says its the low season and I really felt like a piece of meat in a croc nest walking down Pedro Cilisante. Ol clasicos is history. Damn shame. I had some good times in that joint. Mr. Gogo and I would have a few drinks next door and in predator mode as the hoochies walked by. Can't say too much else Cris Long pretty much sums it up below.

No! Cuban cigars! What [red]were[/red] you thinking?[/QUOTE]I just wanted to hear the Shysters' answer-I've been on cruise ships.the people basically eat-eat-eat. When the people disembark there will be plenty of restaurants and shops all over Puerta Plata for people to go to. Also your right about wealth-most of the people are not wealthy and are not going to travel to Sosua. What attraction is there for them to see? A beach Puerta Plata has beaches too.

You got me with the Cigars-cause you know where my mind was HEADED-HEE-HEE
