[QUOTE=Jim0129;3019486]Some girls quote you a very high price because they don't want to go upstairs with you, an amount they know you will refuse.[/QUOTE]I'd be inclined to agree with you, but I'm neither old (40) nor conventionally "unattractive". I'm not everyone's cup of tea as I'm quite large in build (cough cough I take "supplements" and train 5 days a week for almost 20 years). 50% of the time I get compliments on my build when we get to the room, so I'm not going to lie, getting quoted 250 $ by a girl who was no more attractive than a girl I court here in the states for free was somewhat offensive.
Maybe it was my two month bender in FKK land, Tokyo, PAttya and MEdllin but I feel like Tijuana might be on its way out.
The street scene never recovered from the Pandemic and many of the girls I know stopped working because of the monthly cartel fee.
I just got back from Tijuana for the 100th time or so. I have my roster but do hunt new ones occasioanlly. Maybe it was the music festival in rosarito?
I check into cascadas and one of my regulars can't come there because she said she forgot her card. I find out its actually because she's preganant at her hotel and she will stop working soon. She techinically can't work if she's preggo (about a month in) . Another of my regulars in HK. Allison came down with H Pylori and wasnt available. She's a thicc girl in her 30's, looks like very traditional mexican mamcita with beautiful jugs and a tight stomach.
Fat booty Haydee in hotel Garcia is quitting the trade come the end of the month. One of my FAv cheap BBL lays.
Got to see BBL sexdoll Arely again in HK. She can be fun. She's the only one I make an exception and give 2500 pesos for 30 minutes. That fat BBL butt gets pounded for a good 20 minutes.
Sadly anoter of my regulars- Avalon was at the music festival. She's a sexy spinner who looks armenian now 30 yrs old. Met her almost 10 yrs ago.
I did see my regular Jamleth for a nice BBBJ.
Big jugs Rosario at Ibiza is also a fun FK. She can open her legs wide and you get to see those giant silicone jugs bounce as you pump her.
And of course theres slutass Jenny standing right outside the south entrrance to cascadas. She can be a fun FK sometimes.
Despite all this. It might be time to quit Tijuana and go to south america. Sad because Tijuana is just a 2 HR drive for me. First we lost Adelitas after the pandemic and the talent has been declining. Cartel activity on the chicas is not helping.

Do you experience any side effects (like shrinking cock / balls)? Also, do you think you would be able to build comparable muscle mass without the supplements? Or do the supplements really make a huge difference in terms of getting jacked?
Have been reading the last few pages. Few questions about the hotel:
- Will staying 7-10 days be a bad idea, for the noise and lack of sleep?
- Can I purchase the VIP card online? Before I book the hotel? Or do I need to buy the VIP card at the hotel and then book the hotel on the spot to get the discount?
- There are a lot of different rooms? I am def not a high roller. Which room / floor is an absolutely no go for a 7-10 day stay?
Thanks good Sirs for your help and responses.
I drove down to see a few Padres games and hit my Tijuana dentist over the last few days. I used to frequent Zona Norte but stopped drinking and have only been back with family and non-mongering friends without the ability to head to the Zona Norte over the last 15 years. My San Diego hotel allowed me to leave my car safely parked overnight after checkout, take the Blue Line Trolley and walk over. Checked in Cascadas on Monday at 3 pm and was able to get the 3 month Gold Hong Kong card and a jacuzzi room for $110 saving $10 total over paying the $120 without it. I only brought my US Passport Card which they would not take as ID for my credit card payment (it has no signature) so I had to pay cash and a $50 deposit.
I wasn't expecting much on a Monday evening but things got busy around 9 pm. At least 100 women and a long duration shaving cream / dildo show every hour more or less. The shows were very hands on if you were tipping. Chatted with a few women I didn't vibe with and finally found a tight body named Connie with fake see-cups and a tight little ass like I like. She quoted $150 including DATY and over an hour in the room. She seemed confused (played dumb?) about me actually staying overnight in Cascadas despite my orange wristband. Had a good session but I made the rookie mistake of paying her 100% beforehand. She told me the room rental time was up at 40 minutes and tried to get me to leave the room. I checked with the front desk and if you are a guest you can stay with the girl as long as she agrees to and not the usual 40 minutes of a non-guest room rental. (duh).
After the 4th Shaving Cream / Dildo show at Hong Kong (with 6 different women), I walked over to Chicago to see how it has changed. It looked much cleaner and nice than I remember but was mostly empty. There were 2 topless women starting their own Shaving Cream / Dildo Show but the few men there were far from them. I took front row seat and started tipping which allowed me to help apply shaving cream but the bikini bottoms stayed on and the single dildo was used as by them as a joke for deep throat practice only for a few minutes. I got bored after 20 minutes and left. I went to Tropical Bar and it was emptier than Chicago. Adelitas is still locked up with no indication of a reopening.
Check out time at Cascadas is 1 pm so I got the $30/90 minute Tuesday massage special at Serenity Massage on Revolution. The "Relaxation" massage was just okay and I wasn't looking for anything "extra". I checked out and headed to the PedWest crossing on foot but they had just closed the gate a 1:25 pm, (35 minutes early). The regular pedestrian crossing took 45 minutes.
I need to go back in a few weeks for more dental work and plan to spend Sunday to Wednesday.
Changes for me for my next visit (I have forgotten these common sense things over the past 15 years): First, the pedestrian crossings are much faster than driving, even with a Ready / medical pass but get to the PedWest crossing before 1:15 pm. Second, remember to negotiate / agree to extras before going upstairs and don't pay beforehand. Third, I was on the 3rd floor which was a little noisy ask for a higher floor maybe?. Forth, bring my own lube and condoms despite being offered them at check in and 4 times by staff on our way to the room later. Fifth, any ID for checking in must have a signature so bring DL too.
I will update in a few weeks.

Thanks good Sirs for your help and responses.[/QUOTE]Yes, it's a bad idea. Do what you want, but IMO 2-3 days should be the max stay. A week or more and you'll be bored / overstimulated. There's such a thing as too much fun.
No, you need to buy the VIP card at the hotel, but book online first. Don't wait until you get there.
Don't stay in the regular room. A windowless room is no good for that long. But again, I would not recommend a 7-10 day stay. That's too much, even if you're not a high roller.

[QUOTE=Turgid;3020738]Then why are dudes saying Tijuana is dying?[/QUOTE]It's dying for mongers that know better. Thanks to youtube these mongering location will always be packed even if there newbies. My buddy who I met though the old Sosua website went back and he's like wtf bro chicks were asking for 180 dollars. Then HK hotel also went up it's 150 dollars for a shitty room on the weekend. Tijuana only exist now for dudes to lazy or scared to go anywhere else. It only has value to dudes on the west coast. It will survive because it attracts fools who say what 180 for an hour you know how much it would cost me in America.

Yes, we all know Tijuana is much more expensive than it was 10 years ago. So fucking what? Name me another spot where 1) you can pick from 50-100 girls, 80% of whom are hot, 2) cost per lay is <$200, and also you are guaranteed to get laid without any games, 3) within an hour of the USA, and 4) likelihood of you getting murdered is negligible. There simply isn't any other place like Tijuana, at least not close to the USA, and many folks don't have the time / cash / risk tolerance for Brazil or Colombia. Liking Tijuana doesn't make you a fool. Count your blessings homies.

All true, but that doesn't make it a great place to eat.
Whenever somebody says Tijuana is dying, they're just admitting they don't know how to play the game. There's still plenty of girls who will see you OTC for hours at a time for the cost of a single arriba. Girls who will TLN for $150-250 max, if not even free. There's an HK girl I recently took out for dinner and drinks because it was her birthday. We ended up back at my hotel and I fucked her twice. Once in the shower and then in bed about an hour later, everything BBFS. After she left I realized I never paid her. I waited to see if she ever brought it up and she never did. Since she never mentioned it again I didn't either. I guess since it was her birthday she didn't consider it a working night.
Look man. I've been going here for 20 years on and off and I know what I'm talking about. It has declined A lot since even prepandemic and prices have increased. Yeah I've also done what you wrote below but it isn't what it used to be. Don't try to lecture a pro.

I had been out of the hobby for a while but I have mongered in more than a dozen countries over the past 25 years. This includes a dozen trips to Tijuana and here are my 2 cents.
1. In my home area I only feel comfortable at AMPS (Asian Massage Parlors). At my age I don't need any LE problems. At AMPS you get little to no choice with who you get. I speak Spanish not Chinese and while finding an AMP with "Extras" is an interesting adventure, having a conversation and choosing the women I like is preferrable.
2. 15 years ago you had Adelitas, Chicago, Tropical and Hong Kong. I have had ST from all 4 and to me its now Hong Kong or nothing which is both good and bad. One stop shopping.
3. Websites like Musas, Milleroticos and others didn't exist so you only had streetwalkers, massage parlors or the Zona Norte. I am sure many of the better looking women have moved online. It makes more sense for them because they don't have to spend hours standing around, hustling for drinks and can wear regular, nice clothes when they show up to your hotel.
4. If I remember correctly, the going rate 15 years ago was $60 to $80 for an "hour" (usually 40 minutes) and women's drinks were $8, so the current rates are just adjusted for inflation. One chubby SW offered me FS for $50 this week.
5. I saw over 100 attractive women and multiple sex shows on a Monday night. Even the next morning, there were at least 20 in HK with a few jumping on my lap asking to go upstairs.
6. I have watched Youtube videos "Driving around Zona Norte" and I think the number of SWs is about the same as the past. It looked more or less the same as remember on a Monday / Tuesday.
7. Sure I can go to Costa Rica, South America or Thailand for much cheaper sex but not including flights and they are less convenient.
7 I always travel with only my Passport card, Old Samsung Phone, Drivers license, cash I can lose and NO ATM card so even if I get mugged they are not getting much.
I spent over 24 hours feeling like a king with my pick of women day or night and no worries about LE. Comparing today to the "Old Days" is frankly pointless.

At the end of the day, the girls are as good looking as ever and yes the prices have increased. Prices have also increased literally everywhere else. Basic apartments that used to cost $250 USD a month in Tijuana now run for $600. Most of these girls have children to support so they adjusted accordingly, we all would have done the same. Do you expect to earn the same wage you did in 2005?
