Panama City

[QUOTE=Mfins;1880717]Unfortunately this is the trend in Panama. 10 Years ago the place was amazing and every girl I met was friendly as could be. Always wanted to stay and hang as long as I wanted. As the years have gone on the price has stayed the same but service and attitude has gotten worse The infrastructure is great and Panama is a cool place but much more hit or miss now in regards to the girls.[/QUOTE]So true never a rush to leave, used to stay and have pool party's the next day, was getting pool side Room at el Panama hotel, so much fun! Oh well at least we got to see them days!

Will be headed to Panama next week and am curious about using a phone. Viajando said a few days ago that "Local sim card and pre-load $6. " Can someone help a fellow monger out and clue me in how to do this? Do I buy a phone here in the states and get a new sim card in Panama?

Can I use an old phone I have?

Looking forward to my visit after reading the great info and will contribute when I get home.

Thanks,

Moputt

[QUOTE=RainMan270;1880181]Getting HIV should pose no problem if you are using a condom for vaginal intercourse and anal. Pretty much zero risk for BBBJ, DATY and DFK.[/QUOTE]I'm not a lawyer, but I should qualify that: As long as the condom doesn't break and neither participant has any open sores. Basically you need blood to blood contact. HIV does not get absorbed in the skin. In CR the ladies are examined and tested once or twice a month. Prostitution is legal in Panama so I would think the same testing is done there, but not sure. One should realize that HIV has an incubation period of six months, so someone could be infected and wouldn't positive for six months.

Enjoy.

After reading some reports here I'm planning a trip to PTY in Dec. That seems to be start of high season, good weather.

Thanks to all who post reports here! Some questions:

Hyatt seems to be best place to stay for mongering. Is that because it's close to Habanos and no chica fee? How is the gym at Hyatt, well equipped or small?

Does anyone have experience with Sheraton near convention center? Are there places to meet girls near there?

Are the clubs like Habanos nonsmoking, which I prefer? Are casinos also nonsmoking?

Any recommendations of websites to meet girls that are semi-pros ahead of time where you can chat and share pics?

For TLN, do you pay half at night and rest in AM? Any fear of being robbed by chica once you fall asleep? I assume you put all valuables in a room safe?

Lastly, how would compare Panama to Costa Rica for mongering and regular activities?

Thank you in advance!

Enjoy.[/QUOTE]Many people see flu like symptoms within 2-4 weeks. The HIV 6 month "rule" is a little out dated. Most can get a positive test at the one month mark.

As far as those girls getting tested, most freelancers only do it when they are concerned of catching something. Most are not going monthly.

Even with that being said, use a condom and your chances of contracting HIV are slim to none. If you are worried about condoms breaking, bring your own condoms and lube. That will lower the chances of a condom breaking.

You can use your current phone and just log into Wifi everywhere you go and use it for free. Turn your phone on AIRPLANE mode and then turn on the Wifi.

[QUOTE=Dickhead;1881236]ROTFLMAO. Who in the heck told you that?[/QUOTE]OK. Excuse me, I should once again expound. According to [URL]RealCostaRica.com[/URL], prostitution is legal in CR. Prostitutes who register can be examined by a doctor every 15 days and the government pays for it. Not necessarily "tested". Don't know if that's cultured, HIV etc. So bottom line, use Condo.

Be further aware that ALL of these phrases are bullshit. Like in CR, any woman can walk into the Del Rey. So how can testing be enforced? My advice is to forego condoms, which could break, fall off, etc. , and stick your dick directly into a bottle of bleach after sex. Also you should autoclave your dick every six weeks. That will kill any AIDS virus that may linger.

Fact: Incidence of HIV in CR 0.2-0.3 %.

Fact: male: female ratio of HIV infection in 11:1 which means, majority of men who get it are homosexual or bisexual, common denominator homosexual activity. The anus isn't meant to be stretched like the vagina, therefore more trauma ensues.

Fact: A male is at risk if he has on open sore on penis.

Condom break? WTF. Yeah, that's pretty common.

Stick my dick in bleach? I bet your parents told you that you would grow hair on your hands and go blind if you masturbated. The Puritan Forum is the other one.

I arrived in the airport at 1 am, got to Panama City about 2 am.

I booked Hotel El Parador for $40 on [URL]hotels.com[/URL]. Down the street from Hampton by Hilton. Basic hotel, but suffices for sleeping. Reminds me a bit of Sosua hotels with better windows. Mostly just needed to sleep and wake up to move over the Hyatt Place this afternoon. Why pay $100/ night when checking in alone at 2:15 am?

My first time in Panama. I post some more reports later.

Thursday night.

I staked out Habano's Café on Thursday night. I got there around 9:15 pm and it was pretty quite. By 9:30 pm there was a decent amount of people, probably 70% chica / 30% guy ratio. Girls from Colombia (70% DR (15%) Panama and Cuba (15%) I'd estimate based a Colombiana's knowledge. She says she mostly can tell by the face and body where someone is from. I took a walk over to Venetto for about 45 minutes but otherwise I kept a good watch on Habano's the whole night. By 10 pm the place was in full swing with a good complement of chicas.

I was drinking soda and water. These cost just $2 each and tipped $1. I sat in empty seats at times without issues. On Friday when it was crowded I was told I needed to purchase a drink costing $8 or more to get a seat.

The chicas: At 9:30 pm I was a bit disappointed with the chicas. By 10 pm I definitely saw a few 8's to 8. 5 and possibly 9's depending on your standards. I say most women were in the 6-7. 5 on a scale of 1-10. A lot of woman had beautiful long-dark straight hair. Very few skinny women and small number of average sized. Most had big butts and legs, some unnaturally augmented. I'm no fan of butt implants and that almost always disqualifies a woman for me. Breast implants I like when done well. Most women were probably 22-28 years of age. Possibly a few a few under 22 and definitely several over 28. Overall the group appeared to be a lot of experienced regulars. Many would initiate conversations talking about going to my hotel.

Maybe 30-40% of the women contribute to the "mosquito effect". They come by unsolicited, generally unwanted, touch you or say Hello, try to start a conversation. I would politely say no thank you or I don't want to waste your time (in Spanish) and few mosquitos kept biting for another minute or so before my silent treatment had them moving on. I don't like a woman approaching unless I've told her with my eyes that I'm interested.

Overall I really like a freelance bar like this with no fines and no minimums. Only thing really missing for me is that I love the 18-21 college-aged girl / part-timer vibe and more girls of slender builds.

Eventually I selected an attractive Venezualana chica (an 8 on 1-10 scale) around 2 am largely for her attitude. Who wanted $150. I told her $100 plus bonus if she was very affectionate. She was worked out pretty well. I was in a bit of a quiet mood and she was very pleasant about it. No rush.

Anyone have any experience with a cute little spinner from Colombia called Erika. She use to work at elite and now is at Habanos regularly. Kyle Fox, did you meet up with any Erika?

Thanks.

Not a bad start. I am arriving Monday night at 11 pm so by the time I get to the hotel and Habanos, it will be 1 am.

PM me if anybody is in Panama.
