Here is the True Mindset Behind the Madness
[QUOTE=Uzinuzin; 1104083]I quite agree with you on this.
Speaking to a friend who lives in Sosua, he says he just hopes that more people will turn up (tourist or mongers) or else the high season this year will be worse than low season on any other year! The business casualties will be so severe that it will irreversible for quite some years. Of course new places have popped up but I think there will far more about to go under (you can forget about real-state prices going up, if that's what expats were hoping).
I generally do NOT agree that changes in Sosua (and other monger destinations) are due to our IMAGINATION and the fact that we have changed and it's due to our new attitude and being used to things and tired of it and so on. Well, some might have but you can't refute that mongering is getting just a little harder just about anywhere in the world. It's getting more expensive (way over normal inflation rates) , less choice and freedom, more control and via pimps / chulos and middlemen. More establishment where men and women could freely meet up being closed, or controlled (I wonder when Classico goes the way of Help in Rio). They are serious anti-mongering forces in the world who work tirelessly against it, because they can't stand what we do. And I bet it's not going to get any better. I travel a lot and I read a lot of forums of many countries world-wide from Latin America to Asia to Africa, and this is my general impression).
Sosua may still have chicas and you might (with a bit more hassle) still get some action, but for me the atmosphere is being killed off. And that was the greatest fun and the most important thing for me. Going out, day or night, beach, street, bar, anywhere, and finding and enjoying my time with beautiful chicas. Specially those coming from other areas, they were more fun, less hardcore and even considered it a little working holiday. From what I'm told there are now very few of those due to police actions, we are left with hardcore, Sosua pros). And of course I can go village to village and city to city looking for them, but you can surely see the difference of meeting them all in one place.
I can always pay for hores in the West, in MPs, from Escort agencies. But that is no fun what-so-ever comparing to what it WAS like in Sosua.
Enjoy your time wherever you end up going, do it while you can. [/QUOTE]Excellent point made above. I hate to add to this buzz kill but this seems to be the minds behind the recent changes gents:
[QUOTE]Lindsey, thanks for starting this thread with the news about the new City Market. I am really happy to read about the new investments / services and other improvements in Sosua and Cabarete, especially about that light. I always tried to go in and out of Playero during the "not busy" times because the light situation was terrible. Sounds to me like it's a big improvement.
And now I can't wait to come back and check out Monkey Jungle! I didn't even know the DR had monkeys (LOL).
I'm starting to miss it there.
Sosua and other coastal towns, have for years requested more investment and human resources from the many corrupt Dominican officials that have come and gone, whom mind you, have never invested enywhere else out side of Santo Domingo. The central government while always benefiting from the sumptuous tax foundations that are Sosua and other coastal towns have never given anything in return. These towns completely overlooked and tired of travelling down the many failed avenous in pursuit of a fair and equal distribution of the tax incentives, have had no other choice but to take matters in to their on hands. For years they've lobbyed to have the laws changed in order to take contral of their own future.
After the many years of power struggle between the central, and local governments an agreemant has been reached. In the past few years, the legislative body (congress) has made way to enact new laws to permit certain towns I. E. The coastal towns of this country to implement changes as the town people saw fit. As a result of these new laws, towns like Sosua are now freed from the passed ways of governing, (centralized goverment) hence, giving the alcaldias (mayors) more say and power as to how to spend the tax monies in these areas.
Many in the real estate and investment field like my self, have been waiting patiently, banking on a dynamic change in social politics. Finally these changes are in full effect, and because of them, I truely believe we are well on our way to a better and brighter tomorrow. These political changes eventually will open the flood gates and allow the productive engine that is the construction industry in this contry to look in the direction of these coastal towns for the first time in decades.
Investors like myself (architect by trade) with larg amount of empty / vacant land in Sosua, can now dream of a prosperous future in this less than touristy town. Also recently while finishing the blueprint, to an apartment and commercial building soon to begin construction in Sosua, owner of Jaques & Taveras Construction, friend of mine here in Santiago. Who also owns larg sums of land in Sosua, informs me, that due to the change in politics, he feels time has finally arrived to beggin investing in the area.
Surely we are not looking to turn any of these towns into some Disney park as stated in some other thread, this would be farthest from the truth, and purely impractical. From what I've seen, as far as ideas, and blueprints, what investors have in mind is a warmer more caribean feel, taste and look to these towns. Also what these real estate and investemt industries are looking for is to invest in the commercial and infrastructure fields of towns like Sosua, Cabarete and believe it or not, Boca Chica as well. I believe achieving only halt of the many changes investors have in mind will certainly invigorate tourism, the night life, and the economy of these towns in general.
I recognize these changes are in many ways an up hill battle, because ultamitely, as these coastal towns become more attractive and entertaining, more cash will eventually pour in to them, hence, attracting more of the same illegals that formed part of the ever present evil in Sosua today. I also understand the lines have been drawn long before this thread was created. Those of us who believe change can happen, and those against change.
We must recognize a few infiltrated individuals on this forum, who's sole interest is to meddle, attack, criticize and inevitably misimforme everyone of the hopeless future places like Sosua will be without sex-tourism. Don't get me wrong, these people gain absolutely nothing in applying this tactic other than the satisfaction of misimforming everybody on DR1 in the hopes of maintaining Sosua as is. However, these individuals whom love to revel in the murky and foul waters that is the sex-trade, won't sway the shifting tides nor halt the positive changes taking place in Sosua today and the days to come.
Before any of the benefits from the change in politics can take place, we have to keep fighting the many afflition devouring these coastal towns today. Also keep in mind that no matter how fast, or how long these changes take, this won't shift the thinking of the few (Benedict Arnald) on this forum. And whether they like it or not, the malignant evil and it's many tentacles that is corruption (sex-tourism) in these coastal towns, is a phase the Dominican tourism and real estate market must and will thoroughly tackle in order to open the way for a better and more prosperous tomorrow for both natives and expats.[/QUOTE]
From a recent mongering trip to Sosua and other comments

[/QUOTE]I've lived in the Puerto Plata / Sosua area for four years. I used to go the the Sosua beach more during the day during the first couple of years and I found the action there pretty scarce. There would be maybe 4 to 6 pro girls there during most days and usually none of them particularly excited me. I understand that "back in the day", the beach during the day was the place to go, though.
Here's what I found last Friday night in Sosua. Giving a tour to a couple of young guys from New York.
We left Puerto Plata (Playa Dorado hotel) at about 9:00pm, and got to Sosua at 9:30 or so. The first stop was Passions. I would give most of the girls there a 7 or 8. They were all cute and doable. I personally like to get to know the girl a little better before deciding to see if there is some chemistry. Passion's format makes this hard to do. We didn't choose any chicas from there on the first visit.
Next we went to the bar area on Pedro Clisante. There were no p4p girls visible on the street or in any of the open air bars. There were plenty of Dominicans (men and women) partying and dance at the new Rumba bar across the street from Latino's.
But, lo and behold, there were quite a lot of good looking young p4p's hanging out INSIDE Latino's. When we selected girls to party with then take back to the Hotel Central for ST, the girls were very concerned about being escorted to the hotel, then back to Latino's from the hotel. Apparently girls who are unescorted by a guy get arrested. Quality and quantity inside Latinos were both excellent. There is a security guy at the door who must be keeping out the skanks that you used to see hanging out on the street.
After that, it was back to Passions. It was the same mix of girls. There was one chica there that had us all panting. A large statuesque chica with generous curves in all the right places, but no fat. Sirenita. This chica is a knockout. For whatever reason. I think everyone was chicaed-out at that point, no one stepped up to the plate. Next time.
Next we went back to Pedro Clisante. It was around 11:30pm. Latino's had cleared out and all of the action had moved over to the "Club 59" disco on the second floor above Merengue's. Again, quality and quantity was excellent. It was mostly skank-free and there were a lot of new girls I hadn't seen before. The disco was wall to wall girls, music, and booze.
I can't speak to the daytime action in Sosua, but the nighttime action is alive and well. It's just moved inside and off the street. I guess if you want girls during the day, you're going to have to meet them at night, get there phone numbers and call them, or just wake up with them.

P. S. The village to village idea is a good one. Will require patience, however, because you will have newbie girls plus curious people to contend with. I recommend you take someone with you who knows the neighborhoods and can translate.
