Is international mongering on the decline?
Guys,
I'm starting to look into where to go for my next long-term (3-4 months) mongering trip. I'm doing some research on different countries here on the ISG and there seems to be a recurring theme that keeps popping up in many different threads; I keep reading statements such as "_________ is dead as a mongering destination" or "________ isn't what it used to be" or my favorite _________ has changed for the worst". Reading over these threads is making me think that something is going on out there that is affecting mongering scenes all over the world. I'm not sure what exactly is going on to cause this, though. Lets take a look at some examples I've been thinking about. These are countries I've both been to and haven't yet visited:
1. Brasil: Help disco was shut down, prices are way, way up compared to just 7-8 years ago, and guys are writing about getting covered BJs now. Sounds like the officials cracked down on mongering in Fortaleza.
2. Singapore: Had a fantastic street scene just two years ago, the police there have arrested and deported the girls working the streets. Service in the legal houses can often be a sterile experience, with everything covered. Expensive, too.
3. The Philippines: A fine destination if you're looking for a GF or a wife, but as a point and click mongering destination, it's not that good. Scams abound, trike drivers are assholes, and general fourth-world infrastructure add to the problems.
4. Mexico: Probably was a good mongering destination 50 years ago, but now too many gringos and too much violence. Prices can be expensive too, unless you only bang street girls. Mexico City is super expensive.
5. South Korea: Where I am now. Like Mexico, this place was a mognering paradise many years ago (so I've heard) but now it's not good at all. Way, way too expensve, and xenephobic chicks that can't take dick bigger than 3 inches.
6. Costa Rica: I haven't been here, but it sounds terrible. $100 for ST?? Overrun with gringos like Mexico I guess.
7. Cambodia: Haven't been here either, but from reading the board I guess the NGOs have taken over the country. That will kill any mongering scene.
8. Thailand: I was going to go here a few weeks ago, I had my ticket, condoms, lube, hard-on, everything was packed and ready to go. Then it happend. A fucking civil war breaks out in Bangkok. Decided to cancel. No idea if this will change the scene there.
So, what do you guys think. Does anyone have any ideas what is going on out there; what's causing all this. Or am I just being paranoid?
