Lima

I checked out Las Sirenitas last night, so I thought that I would provide an update. First off, it was incredibly difficult to get to Las Sirenitas from the Miraflores area. Uber kept cancelling on me over and over again. Cabify also couldn't find me a driver. I eventually found a Uber by setting the destination for a nearby hospital. I am not sure if the issue was with the destination, or the fact that the national soccer team was playing. Took about 30 minutes of trial and error to get one though.

The setup at Las Sirenitas is bizarre. This is most likely due to the law, where apparently prostitution is not illegal, but benefitting off of a prostitute is (don't quote me on that.) There are no signs that really indicate what is going on on the inside, and you really don't hear any music. The only slight indication, is that there are a lot of cars double parked in front.

In order to get into Las Sirenitas, you must purchase a ticket from some type of parking lot / auto garage up the street (same side of the street.) There is a big homemade sign on the door that says TICKETS, but you would miss it if you are not looking for it. There is no indication that the ticket is for Las Sirenitas.

Once you purchase the ticket, you present it at the door. You will probably need to knock on the door if it is closed. They do not keep the door open at Las Sirenitas.

The surrounding area is beyond sketchy. It is not well lit, everything looks sort of like it has been run down for decades, and I did not see any police. If you get attacked / robbed, you are pretty much in a no mans land, so good luck.

On the inside, there is a brief pat down by one guy, and then you give your ticket to the second guy. You cannot carry bags on the inside. If you have a bag, they have kind of a free coat check system setup. They will give you a card, and take your bag. You just hand in the card on your way out to get your bag back.

The inside is setup like a motel 6. There appears to be like 20-40 rooms. The women stand on the outside of their room when they're available. You basically walk around until you see a woman that you like. You then walk up to her, perform some sort of negotiation, and then do the deed. This is NOT an optimal way of finding the "best" woman. Highly likely that an attractive woman will be quickly scooped up by some other punter, before you even get to see her.

When not walking around, there is a large room with a bar, that has rooms for ladies along both sides. The bar sells baby size Corona's for 10 soles a pop. The night that I was there, they were playing the soccer game on the big screen tv.

The quality of the women cannot be denied. There were about 15 last night, and they were all fairly young, and most were in good shape. I only saw a couple that were too large for my tastes. Of those 2, one stayed pretty busy, so to each their own.

I ended up with a 20 year old Ecuadorian chick who looked like she was from Thailand. 50 soles ($12.21 USD at wiring) for 15 minutes? I'm not 100% sure on the time. Petite, and very attractive, however I had to do all the work. Garbage CBJ, and having her on top was uninspiring. However, how can you complain at 50 soles? Having her moan "Yo quiero leche" (I want milk) was worth the price of admission though.

Overall, it was a good experience. However, I am hoping to find a spot that is closer to Miraflores, as that is more than a bit of a drive for me.

It is in a area that looks deserted. Not really sketchy.

[QUOTE=Nounce;2601461]It is in a area that looks deserted. Not really sketchy.[/QUOTE]Thanks for the advice, however we are going to have to agree to disagree on the sketchiness. My girl lives close to that area. She has been robbed several times, and once by gunpoint.

However, [B]I am hoping to find a spot that is closer to Miraflores[/B], as that is more than a bit of a drive for me.[/QUOTE]Maybe you should try [B][I]Las Geishas VIP[/I][/B] in Ate. I have not been there yet but it is said to be pretty much the same as Las Sirenitas VIP, both in price and girl-quality, and is much much closer to Miraflores. You can find it in Google Maps as "Geishas Santa Anita" ([URL]https://www.google.com/maps/place/Geishas+santa+anita/@-12.0617685,-76.9802561,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x9105c7edb5edc8cb:0x7f9acf5bfb6cc3b3!8m2!3d-12.0617172!4d-76.9780987[/URL]) The brothel is located close to the border between Santa Anita, San Luis and Ate, so they like to make it look like it is in Santa Anita (the more upscale of those three districts) but it is actually in Ate.

I'll probably go there sometime soon to see by myself just how good (or bad) it is. I'll report here when I do. But don't wait for it since it might take me some time; I'm not going out as much these days and I'd rather go out with a known girl friend for a much longer and much more satisfactory experience (sadly also much more expensive but, what the hell, it is my time my dick and my money).

I did some searching online, and it is the same owner / setup / pricing as Las Sirenitas. It is also A LOT closer. I will definitely try it out, and report back.

I visited Geishas Santa Anita on Saturday night. Upon entering, it is obvious that the establishment is under the same management as Las Sirenitas Night Club. The layout and atmosphere are all the same. However, you can pay the 10 soles entrance fee right at the door. That makes the Las Sirenitas setup even more odd. Anyways, it's 10 soles to get in, and 50 soles for the deed (I think that's for 15 minutes, but I'm not sure.).

If you choose to go to Las Geishas, Saturday night is NOT the time to go. There were WAY more men than women there. In fact, I saw instances of men queuing up outside of a woman's room. If you don't like sloppy seconds, you certainly won't like sloppy 6 ths or 7 ths. It is a brothel, but your psyche would probably take a hit when you're the 6th or 7th guy in a line. Google maps has a live view that lets you see how many people are there.

I again must comment on how the overall setup makes it impossible to find your idea of the best woman. Instead of having the women congregate in one room, you have to keep walking around the rooms to see who is there. I have never seen anyone else use this type of setup, and it is obvious as to why. Is this common in Peru?

I was extremely disappointed in Geishas. The neighborhood appears to be better than Las Sirenitas, in that there are a lot more lights outside of the club, and way more foot / car traffic. HOWEVER, the quality of the women is much worse. The women who work at Geishas are much older, and much less fit as compared to those at Las Sirenitas. I saw only one or 2 doable girls, out of the 20-30 that were there. By doable, I mean doable in a pinch. I was not in a pinch, so I just left without sampling from the buffet.

I had a horrible time getting a ride home at the end. I just could not get a ride from Uber, and a couple guys from Cabify quit on me before I finally found someone. However, there are a ton of taxis either driving by, or waiting outside. I am just not into getting into the back of a random taxi, and hoping that I get home safely.

It is like that in Las Sirenitas, Trocadero, Cucardas, Visitadoras and in all brothels I know. Some brothels have a bar area and some, like Cucardas, also have a stage where the girls dance and do a strip tease at peak hours on peak days. In most brothels that have a bar area the girls can and do mingle with the customers there, but only when the business is slow and even then not all the girls do that; the most sought-after girls use to stay in they room doors at all times and the others only go to the bar area when business is slow.

Other places that have a more night-club-like setup do have the girls mingling with customers and they only take them to the room when a deal is struck, but they are smaller places with less girls and higher costs and no-higher girl quality.

That is why I drive my own car whenever I go to a brothel (which I don't do often, I don't like brothels very much in general) and so I'm limited to brothels where I can park my car safely.

However, regarding taxis and brothels, here is a tip from a friend of mine who likes and frequent brothels. Always take an incoming taxi that has just delivered his customer to the brothel; that way you can be sure that, at least the customer right before you, arrived to destination safely. Of course sometimes that arises protestations from the waiting taxi drivers, but it is better to be safe.

[/QUOTE]At the under S /. 50 (or even S /. 80) price point this is the standard. Best time to go to these places is middle-late afternoon while most men are still working. I usually aimed to get there 3-4 pm.

If you want to have women congregate in one room (with strip show etc), you are going from chongo to nightclub (or baos turcos), and the price quadriples at least. ($50, or more likely $100 a session).

I don't mind Las Sirenitas, it's just that I have to wait until about 8:30 for the rush hour traffic to die down (WHICH IS INSANE!) They're building all of these new apartment / office buildings here, why aren't they building a subway? 😂 😂 😂.

Also Thai Club (also very close), had girls when it used to be called Club Smik.

Unfortunately, most banos turcos are still closed and those that are open are not offering sexual services yet, as far as I know.

How did you get sexual services at the banos turcos? It was under the guise of massages. There were legit masseuses and there were not-so-legit ones. At some places you could get full service (on a very uncomfortable masseuse stretcher), at many others just a CBJ, at most of them just a hand job. And the prices were going from 50 soles for a hand job to 200 or 300 soles for full service, and that is quite apart from the "massage", that can be anything from 30 soles to 120 soles. Besides, the girls are not that hot and tend to be older and chubbier than the average brothel girl. Which saunas / banos turcos are open? Right now, for all I know, Onsen in Santa Catalina (most girls won't do anything sexual, one or two will agree to a hand job), Venice in San Borja (there used to be full service there but now there is only sauna and legit massages), Cavin in Santa Catalina (same as Venice). All the others that I knew of are still closed. Some won't reopen (didn't survive being closed for more than a year). I know of no sauna / bano turco that is offering full sex nowadays; maybe in a few months.

Then there are the massage parlors that offer sexual services but, again, most will only offer a hand job, some will offer a CBJ and a few will offer full service. It is hard to tell because most of these places, especially those that offer full service, open and are closed by the authorities shortly after; you have to check the local forums to keep track of them but I cannot recommend any local forum here because it is against this forum's rules and my post would be edited or deleted, which in my opinion is just fair, rules are rules.

Main point here is that these places are quite a different scenario from brothels. In these places you find very few girls to choose from (five to ten) and you are charged three, four or five times more than in a brothel. On the other hand, you don't have to go to a God forsaken place for a piece of pie, you get to see all the girls with no rush, at some of them you even get to chat with them before you decide, and you can enjoy all the services of a regular sauna / bano turco even if you decide not to get a girl. Saunas / banos turcos used to be my regular mongering territory some years ago, but now I'm more into caletas and agency girls (which are also quite more expensive than brothels).

[QUOTE=JavaMan;2603475]Yes, I've seen that in Germany. Brothels are set up in apartment buildings.

You take the elevator to the top floor, then walk your way down. Sometimes there is a line waiting for elevator even after midnight.
