[QUOTE=Questner;2204147]Look, each year the crackdown come in 3 waves exactly, 1) before the start of school year of August 2) before Christmas and 3) before Semana Santa. Draw your own conclusions.[/QUOTE]Dominican Today News. Santo Domingo and Dominican Republic.

Prostitution steals the peace in icon tourist town.

Shares.

Sosua, Dominican Republic. - The rise of prostitution in the area concerns representatives of the various sectors of the tourist town, a practice they say has alienated hundreds of tourists looking for a place to enjoy with their families.

They say despite that prostitution occurs in broad daylight the the authorities don't intervene. "Unfortunately, Sosúa is losing hundreds of visitors due to this situation," said Julio González, a regular visitor to the area beaches.

Diario Libre reports that together with prostitution, "other dark businesses" take place here, which have robbed the tourism sector of its tranquility.

In that regard, North Coast deputy Tourism minister Julio Almonte, said the agency and law enforcement are registering the "ladies of happy life" who come to Sosúa to practice the trade, to reduce their number to a minimum.

Sources quoted by the outlet say 90% of the sex workers are Haitian.

I would say yes happens every year, but you now only have one nightclub and the casino late night to go hang out in. So, for all this happens every year your choices are getting smaller and smaller. Things are changing.

These over-the-top raids and closures using soldiers and cops chasing WGs down Pedro Clisante always happen in the summer when there are few tourists in town. Come Fall and Winter, everything will (probably) be back to normal and there'll be more pussy than you can shake your dick at walking down Pedro Clisante.[/QUOTE]Even the cops shake their heads at the continued re-arranging of the deck chairs in Sosua. It happens always in the slow season. They put away the artillery around Superbowl. Too much money flowing in!

Aside from the general wish to make the main drag more tourist friendly, all they are doing is forcing the action up the street, dispersing the local SW trade.

I rarely venture on the main drag anymore, anyway, I have more than enough action from my chica and the locals we know.

On another note, during another great weekend in PP and Constambar Playa, I was looking at my phone map and saw I was only a block away from Blackbeards, and I had never seen the place.

My chica and I walked over and into the bar, no questions asked, and all we got were smiles. Whatever problems they were having in Sosua, it looked like business as usual here!

A couple of beers in a beautiful and very trankilo atmosphere, and every chica was smiling. This was noon. Hardly any guys around, mostly chicas. I saw at least a couple of 9's I would take no problem. Although it's not for me, I like to move around, I can see the attraction for guys who need to simplify their precious time on vacation.

Still plenty of PFP action in and around Sosua, and that is not going to change anytime soon!

Apart from the sound of music or laughter inside, nothing to offend the sensibilities of wayward tourists. In the past, I had preferred it to Sosua, for a variety of reasons.

One of the good things about decentralizing the action in Sosua is that the street hustlers have a bigger area to cover to find their marks. Just last night Viagra Man came by my off the beaten track bar. He was complaining that covering his longer circuitous route was killing him, Lol!

But the locals can always find you. A couple of my old Charamicos family showed up on a motorbike with bambina hoping for a few peso handout. How do they know?

Hard to keep a secret in Sosua!

Only problem for me here is the heat. Spent a couple of day at my chicas place in PP. No running water for kitchen, banyo and shower, no refrigerator, but a comfortable cama and a big fan. Surprising what you can get used to when pushed. A couple of cold beers from the corner colmado helped, Lol!

Motor bike Jenny a Gabriel Union double has been retired by a well meaning Western union popi. When you pay thre bills you are thier husband. Spoke to here on Whatapp and was given the bad news. She was a real talent and the guy who has her has a winner.

I think we still have a year left to the rumour of relocating all bars to High Caribbean area. Let's wait and see. In my view it will never happen. Does anyone remember the cries about demolishing all beach casitas and building a mall at the entrance to the beach to accommodate them? Now the only thing that has moved recently at the beach, due to Providence, is sand.

Shit Halloween probably. A winner? Try a money pit.

Now the local kids play among the shell of abandoned hotel and condos.

The hoards of cruise ship passengers visiting Sosua never materialized.

Grand Dreams, Dominican results.

What has improved is schooling, curtesy of the influx of International money for education, they gave all teachers a raise, but they are still having trouble finding and traing teachers. In return the politicians are under a great deal of external pressure to show they are at least "doing something" to change a primary driver of the economy, sex tourism.

But until they take the simple step to make soliciting illegal, it aint happening!

The spell they cast on Western Union popis never last very long. However this babes hs serious skills.

For the Haitiana aficionados, Sosua Lights is back in business after being shut down for a couple days.

Aside from the problems at Pica Flor and Blue Ice, its mostly business as usual for this time of year. Lots of chicas still around but not the A Team, unless they come out later, after my bedtime!

On another note, If you want the normal NA amenities we are used to like a clean and functional apartment, security, decent location, I find living in Sosua is more expensive than home.

It is a beachside vacation resort town, and with resort prices, unless you want to rough it and go native! There's a huge gap between a $200 dollar iron barred walk up, with cucuracha roommates, in an iffy location, and the average one bedroom apartment with all the amenities. Especially in the high season.

Then of course there is the female companionship, which is always expensive, one way or the other! My chica is happy to have me live with her, and even her family in the hills, but after a few day I get cabin fever!

I'm thinking I may limit my time here to the winter, but of course that is the high season, and I would need to keep my aprtment back home.

I still find myself in vacation mode here, spending more than I thought, and have not yet figured out a sustainable budget routine for the long run.

But it's fun trying to figure it all out, and a night with my chica and friends, (my own A Team) a few beers, and I realise how lucky I am to be here!

We went out for dinner in Cabarete with chica and bambina last night and paid the piper very well. Taxis, the whole 9 yards!

But just now my chica called and is coming in from PP with home made soup for me as if that balances the books, Lol!

Gotta love her!

There are all inclusive hotels / complexes where the "family" trade goes.

On the other hand, places like Amsterdam have world famous red light districts that, in a sense, become tourist attractions, with tours leading wannabe mongers (and their wives) to gawk at the hookers in the windows, etc.

If sex workers were centrally located, versus eradicated, you could have both "family" and monger tourist areas. Still, apart from the Dominicans who use Sosua beach on the weekends, its hard to imagine most Western families patronizing the area. Too "gritty" too realistic for most Mommies' tastes.

I am planning a trip to Sousa and Puerto Plata in August and was wondering if anyone had any ATF that they can recommend me contacting. Also any tips and tricks on meeting new girls down there. I. E. Good spots to check out and whatnot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Read both of those forums, and then if you have more specific questions, please let us know.

And for the help that I've given you, I only ask that you contribute a trip report in the Sosua and Puerto Plata forums detailing your mongering experience once you've returned to your home country.

I've spent a lot of time reading here and thank you guys for all the info. I just booked my first trip to Sosua for August and will be staying at the Europa hotel. I'm originally from new england and mongered up there, but I have lived on another Caribbean island for the past 7 years that doesn't offer much so I am really excited to visit Sosua. I'm not new to the game but I am new to the international part. I already have a heap of possible girls there that I have met through various social networking sites and so far it seems very promising. I can't wait to report back with hopefully great stories!
