Panama City

[QUOTE=Tp Horn;1272629]Just curious: I see these promotional models pushing various products at concerts, discos, expositions, whatever events around town. They seem to be mostly colombianas, though I know many are panameñas. Anybody know if they are available for "personal" gigs? I'd love to hear some first hand experiences.[/QUOTE]In my personal experience, some of them ARE available. But they limit themselves (some of them) to known people or referred from someone know them, as in Panama the saying goes, Small Town, Big Hell. Almost everyone knows or at least suspects who is in the "entertainment business", so these girls have to be extra careful

[QUOTE=Ocean Traveler; 1270706]I have also used that trick. It is one of the best kept secrets of Panama.

When my flight arrives after midnight the most direct route to sleep is a push button near the airport.

The total noches price is around $12 and it is an excellent nap before the long drive out of town.

I learned the trick after getting a flat tire on the way into the city to catch a flight. After changing the tire, I was dirty, sweaty and in no shape to catch a flight. In short, I needed a place to clean up so I checked into a push button somewhere north of PC. While checking in I noticed the "total noches $12" sign and it hit me. I could catch a few hours sleep after arriving in the middle of the night.

Having said that, a good night adjustment wouldn't be all bad.

OT[/QUOTE]Toda la noche for $12? I'm a local and I haven't seen a single Push with that price! Please recall the name! As far as I know $12 will get you 2 hours!

I have used the push button on the right when heading toward the City from PTY. I think it has a goofy name like Arabian Nights. The price may be a little higher, I don't remember since it has been 6-months since I used this trick but you also must check-in after midnight or something like that.

Remember, it is a targeted trick particularly helpful when arriving at the airport late at night and headed into the interior the next day. If you have business in the city, delay your sleep a check into a "real hotel".

I will be back in town soon and will try to get the names. Specifics are always the most helpful.

Gentlemen,

What's the going rate for TLNs, TLDs and for 24 hour deals? Are there take-out fees or multas if I want to take a girl out for a night or 24, 48, 72 hours?

Thanks for all comments.

Someone here mentioned Lima as "up and coming." I've been mongering in Lima for several years now and it is still one of the best-kept secrets in Latin America, but mostly for the "semi-pro" action. You can pretty much have almost any girl you see on the street, especially those college girls who desperately need book money. I have to go to Panama on business this month but if I had my druthers I'd be heading to Lima.

Last time I was in Costa Rica I was VERY disappointed by how it had changed from just a few years back. Used to be the Blue Marlin wasn't like a sardine can with 10 guys for every girl and the girls never charged more than $60. Those golden years.

Last (and first) time I was in Panama I was with a gf, so no mongering action. This time will be different. I'm staying at the Veneto and basically like what I'm reading about it on the Forum. I have two questions, though, answers I can't find here:

1) Is BBBJ the norm, or something that has to be negotiated and costs more, or simply nonexistent?

2) How does one get to Habano's from Veneto? Walking distance?

Thanks much for your answers in advance, guys, and I'll be sure to post reports from the scene. I'll be there 5/19-26.

That was me that mentioned Lima. I've only been there as a 'civilian', most recently just a few weeks ago. God, do I love the food there! Wish I could indulge in our little hobby, and see MANY fine looking little 'hotties' walking around EVERYWHERE, but have not yet had the chance. I based my comment on the many good things I'm reading and hearing from friends and lucky F*ckers like you who have dallied with the Peruanas!

Anyway, to answer your questions based on MY experiences in Panama City:

1) BJs are 'standard' with the Habano / Veneto chicas, no up sell, but usually covered. However, I have also had Columbianas go BBBJ as well. Doesn't hurt to ask up front. You didn't inquire, but anal has been available as well at times, but admittedly for an upgrade.

2) Yes, Habanos is easily walkable from the Veneto. Maybe 5-10 minutes and I've walked it late at night. Just use your 'Big City Senses' if you know what I mean. Ask any of the drivers hanging out in front of the Veneto for directions. BTW, don't use those 'fancy car' drivers out front unless you need a really nice 'ride' somewhere. They can get pricey. Grab a yellow cab instead. They are inexpensive. Keep in mind if you pull a chica out of Habanos and wish to return to your room with her, you will need a cab then as she will most likely NOT fancy even a short 'hike' in her CFM heels! But don't use one of the 'gypsy cabs' in front of Habanos, either. They are rip-off scam artists and I've heard several horror stories about these cholos. Not to worry, however, as there are yellow cabs usually driving by right in front of the Lebanese restaurant across the street (fine food, open late BTW) or the Marriott Casino also directly in front of you. You'll see what I mean.

And while you're at it, why not branch out and see some of the other many wonderful things to experience in PTY? It might be just what the 'Doctor' ordered. RTFF for some other great possibilities, all up and down the quality / price scale. And PM me if you could use a recommendation for a couple of good, reasonably priced cabbie / guides. These guys are fellow 'Punters' and know our 'needs'.

Don't forget those Field Reports upon your return, and get Wild, Roar, Run With Scissors!

Anybody know if any of these motels are available in downtown PC, as sometimes a visit to the hotel is not possible.

Any recommendations?

I don't know if Riu Plaza is girl friendly and if they charge extra

[url]http://www.internationalsexguide.info/forum/showthread.php?1894-Panama-City&p=624256#post624256[/url][/QUOTE]Its a ten-fifteen minute walk from Veneto to Habanos, but why walk it in the scorching heat or rain inhaling car fumes the entire time. By the time you get to Habanos your dripping in sweat and smell like you have been sucking on a tale pipe. Its a $3 cab fare. $4-$5 with the gringo tax and cabs are Everywhere! No offense but Are we that cheap guys!

Also, I was in Lima once. Went for 4 days granted I had an awful cold the whole time but I didn't like it all that much. Hotel charged a huge chica fee ($50) and it was hard to find all the semi pros I had heard about. Went to Tequila Rocks and thought that was cool but no different than Habanos or Veneto in PTY. I didn't use Davids service as I like to feel out the product before I buy but perhaps I should have. Maybe I just didn't do it right but it was a little over rated and not much different than PTY for me.

Mfins. You did everything wrong in Lima. Next time ask me first. First you had a cold, then you stayed at a wrong hotel (apartments are the way to go there, even for short-term) , and Tequila Rocks sucks. Amateur hour. Just a stroll through the park or the mall or the department store and you will find all you could possibly want / need. Going rate is about S / 200, roughly $67 for a couple of hours. I've used David too and have not been disappointed. Now I just know his girls and contact them myself (which he is fine with).

Guys, thanks for the info on getting to Habanos. Clearly a cab is the way to go, although I probably shouldn't take one right outside of Veneto. On the other hand, it seems like I might find all I need right there at my hotel. But I'll branch out, just for you, Rippa!

Thanks all!

[/QUOTE]If I walk straight through, it's a 5 or 10 minute walk for me, never in the scorching heat (since it's at night) and if there's rain I have sense to take a taxi, for which I might pay $2 or $3. But I'll typically check out any streetwalkers on Via Veneto, maybe look into Oasis or a strip club, or stop by the casino at El Panama or the Riande Continental, all of which are on the way, kind of. I might continue on, walking, to Le Palace, or even Elite and the clubs on Calle Uruguay. No offense, but Are we that lazy and out of shape guys!

I've used Hotel Montreal for that purpose, but it's not cheap, around $40. I've stayed at the Riu. They were anal about getting my younger girlfriend to check in and provide her I. D. Although they're reputedly not girl friendly, I did see three or four women with older male gentlemen that I thought were hookers in the place, and they get a lot of traffic through the lobby. My guess is that you won't have a problem if your date is dressed reasonably well. If she's dressed like a **** and you're coming back at 3:00 AM when the place is deserted then you likely will.

I visited an old standby last weekend: River Club.

I hadn't been in years, and it's still the same: $70 for an hour in a room with a dumpy bed but a clean bath with a hot shower. I had a very friendly, blondish, curvy paisa. She had a couple extra pounds, but ample natural titties. She started with a BBBJ, which I found surprising. Enjoyable experience all around.

To me it's a poor man's Golden Time, but I appreciate its proximity and reasonable privacy: no hoardes of strip mall patrons to gawk at you entering the brothel.

And I for one am very lazy especially on vacation and after I have some beer in me. Can hit all those places and save the sweating, for about $5. 00.

But too each his own! We all have different tastes.

The cabs in front of Veneto are all safe. You won't have any problem, but like a prior poster said get in one of the yellow cabs on the street, not a fancy cab car or van they will charge you 5-10 times the normal rate. Have fun!

Thanks all![/QUOTE]Doc- THanks. You know I am not a bad looking dude, and I hear from a lot of people talking about how they are able to find semi-pros in malls, parks et. Not just in Peru but other countries. Certainly I have seen pretty young girls in malls but, how to even approach them and ask if they are up for pay for play. I definately can play it cool but it seems as though it would take a lot of trying before you actually found one that is willing and able. Just seems like too much work to me, maybe I am missing something.
