Not quite the whole truth
[QUOTE=OldKool; 1144640]As an African Amererican I fine the DR women to be very attractive. They are mixed with many ehnic groups and are incredible beautiful. Many white guys are not into dark women.
It is my experience that white Americans are not comfortable when they are in the minority. When blacks move in prodominantly white neigborhoods in the US they move. Of course this is a generalization. For us brothers DR women are a God send. They have great attitudes and will screw your brains out. Our home girls can be very hard to get along with. So the DR women provide everything we want and for a great price. It is also a matter of taste. Whites guys often preferr white women. The DR is not the place for them. No big deal! DR women seem to like African american men. They know we think they are beautiful and we have money. A great combination! The women experience with gringos is different I think. I think as a black man I relate better to DR women. (my thoughts) I have had conservations with DR women on the subject. It is much easier for me to pull off the GF thing with a DR chica then a gringo. DR chicas think that a relationship with Black American can happen not so much with a gringo. Just my insight from many years of watching. [/QUOTE]I live here and am lily white. The people here do not see things as 'black and white', it's the thickness of the wallet. I love this country. It's color blind.
My 2 cents to answer your questions
you raise some interesting questions frannie (maybe you are a sociologist after all lol) and i'll give my 2 cents. but first a few questions of my own. are there really a lot of aa mongers going to the dr? what does 'a lot' mean? on a typical night in sosua, what percentage of total mongers to aa's make up? i just don't think that there are. anyway.
yes, i can tell family and close friends about my mongering trips but that is still a relatively small group of folks (i'm sure my mom is curious as to why i've been to the dr 4 times in the last year, but she won't ask and i certainly won't tell lol). it would be professionally detrimental if my white female boss knew that i went, but the 3-4 male coworkers that i share the stories and pictures with get jealous. i'm judicious with the info, sharing it with people who really know me and thus won't confuse what i do with who i am (everyone that knows about my trips would still say that i am a good man with absolutely no hesitation). my female friends believe i will simply grow out of it and maybe they are right.
i don't think that the great majority of aa men know about mongering opportunities. i stumbled on sosua by luck after overhearing a conversation in a bar about the beautiful women in the dr that were available. before that i had been curious about mongering but lacked any real intel about how to go about it. still not knowing where in the dr to go, i merely googled 'dr and prostitution' and sosua popped up as a place 'infested' with hookers and my decision as to where to go was made for me. i drafted one of my friends into the inaugural trip and the rest is history. on our next trip in june, we have added two more newbies who after hearing our stories are eager to go. maybe that's the black and white difference, we tend to share our stories more with our peers and encourage those who can to join us, thus the number of aa's grows and you see so many groups of aa's. . word of mouth seems to be the best advertisement for the dr (that and the promise of all of the pu$$why that you can handle).
another reason that the dr tends to appeal to aa's has to do with the rampant problems that exist in the romantic relationships between black men and women (i admit that that's a pretty big generalization, but a lot of brothas would agree). dr women are socialized in a way (embracing traditional female roles) that many black women are not and thus dr women are very attractive for more than just their looks. my boys become intrigued as much from my stories about how chicas treat and relate to me as they are from the butt nekkid pics.
[quote=frannie; 1144611]i just asked a question about why there are a lot of african american mongers in sosua.
i explained how i first got involved in mongering and how i eventually reached a stage in life where i paid for sex in spite of social stigma against same, and i mentioned confidentiality issues.
i wondered if paying for sex was more acceptable among african americans, since those i have met in sosua were often traveling in pair or in groups, which would mean that there were people in their home communities who knew about their mongering. i wondered if some african americans might have gotten into mongering via military service. this is often the case with caucasians, some of whom of my age like to reminisce about the girls in vietnam. (also note that the whole tourist sex industry in thailand developed because of the vietnam war.)
answers i have got include:
1. there are not many african american mongers in sosua.
2. african american communities profoundly disparage mongering.
3. a ph. d can tell family and friends that he mongers, but this does not affect him professionally. (interesting to me, because if anyone in my job knew about my mongering, my position with the agency would probably be untenable.)
4. military experience is not usually a precursor to mongering.
5. african american mongers travel to sosua from all over the eastern us.
5. caucasian mongers don't know about sosua.
no one has offered any explanation as to why there are a lot of african american mongers in sosua, many of them younger. how do they find out about sosua? what enables them to overcome the taboo against prostitution within the aa community? what about the risks of exposure for people who are in professions that would frown on mongering activity?
not that it is any big deal, but it makes for an interesting discussion. [/quote]
