Medellin Reports

[Mtndew704]

Any recommendations for a dentist? I just need a routine cleaning and if they can do x-rays n shit that would be great too. Been a few years since I been to the dentist.

Adapt or perish.

It was the end of the freelance market as far as most foreigners were concerned. Most guys would only get chicks from Meia Pataca, Help or Terraco Atlantico (restaurant in front of and connected to Help), and with Help closed down and Meia Pataca being a family restaurant now, you do not see a saturation of gringo mongers as you did before. The most you see these days is a few guys at Mabs late at night. And there is nary a looker at that place as there used to be at Terraco Atlantico when Help was open. That place is more the Star Wars bar these days.

So for the guys that are Poblado or Lleras mongers then they would be affected, but for centro and casa mongers it would be business as usual; same as it is business as usual for Rio guys that go to privees and did not have the Copacabana freelance spots as their bread and butter.

P.S. Help was closed down in 2009, almost 14 years ago.

Add these other locations where you can find large numbers of Colombian providers: Aruba, Panama, St. Maarten / St. Martin, Dominican Republic, Spain, France, UK, and even Medellin.

LOL there's new workers turning 18 everyday in Medellin. The price will go up only in the tourist trap areas and for scrubs like MB1.

I'll be in Medellin 17-28 or at least in the pueblos. pm me if anyone wants me to show you any spots around the city.

I don't know how to pm but I will be in town during the same dates and would love to see the pueblos and chicas LOL.

ATMs are our friends.

Thank you for your insights MongerHunger! By sharing factual information it helps me learn. Unfortunately I don't know everything like you seem to imply that you do. So I am glad you took time to share some of your extensive knowledge.

Of course it common knowledge that airports in general give inferior exchange rates. But a man needs currency of the country you arrive in when you first arrive. I am curious to know your solution to this problem since I did not know ahead of time the cost of the taxi ride? This man chooses not to ride the bus his first trip (no need to on any trip actually). Way beyond riding to with a shared taxi in a new city to a place I am unfamiliar with. My girl does not recommend it at anytime (concerns for my personal safety is the reason given)..

look at Rio. When they closed down Help almost 2 decades ago everyone was saying "oh this is the end of hookers in Rio" itsstill going strong and still reasonable prices.

Yes, I also see a lot of Colombian girls in Costa Rica along with Mexico. Of course, the big jackpot is to be able to go to Europe or America where they can earn big money even.

Here, in the city where I live, there are plenty of Colombians doing business as escorts. There are the high end GFE girls from Colombia charging the standard $250 to $300 per hour and the low end casa girls doing business with mostly the local Latino men at $50 to $60 for 15 minutes, non-GFE all covered. The lower end girls here in the United States are probably the best bang for your buck here. They would be considered your average casa girl in Medellin but are in high demand here in the United States for guys on a budget. They are doing 16-20 guys a day. It is funny that $60 for 15 minutes here in the United States is considered a bargain and the same price in Medellin for an hour is considered expensive. Just the way it is.

Most people use an ATM in the airport to get taxi money.

This is the key point and it's obviously more meaningful than what happens to any small sample of acquaintances.

I am grateful your friends are not representative of the overall availability. The scenario you describe is known as human trafficking. There are also domestic networks that send Medellin based girls to Cucuta and elsewhere in Norte de Santander. As another poster correctly pointed out, none of this is new. The reason I doubt it will have significant impact on the local scene is because new providers come into the game on a constant basis. If it turns out I'm wrong I would be open to relocating. I don't see that happening but time will tell.

So I am back in Medellin. To my surprise half of my friends are gone to Europe or Mexico. My friend told me there is a group of guys offering girls work in Mexico but it will cost them 20,000,000 cop. In exchange they get a passport, flights and the right to stay in an apartment building. Girls will pay this off by giving half of their earning to the owner. There is another group Spanish guys doing the same thing for Europe. By the end of this month I'll lose another 5 friends.

I don't think Medellin will be a monger destination in a few years. I am sure price will significantly increase because of supply and demand.

If you are Medellin, I am always happy to share my contacts. I rather share my friends than seeing them go to Europe or Mexico.

Medellin will always be a mongering destination because it's not limited to being a mongering destination for just foreigners.

It's not like in many other mongering destinations around the World that primarily cater to Foreigners.

And mongering in Medellin is unique with so many different ways to roll from the SW's, Facebook, clubs, casa's, bars, independents on the Web, etc. I can't thing of any other mongering venue that has so much to offer mongering wise besides Thailand.

If there wasn't a locals mongering scene here, perhaps Medellin will wane, but I just don't see it happening.

In economic terms, it's still relatively cheap here compared to other mongering destinations, but since Colombia has come out of the "dark ages" from twenty years ago, and with people from abroad working here on US or European salaries, prices of things including pussy seem to be skyrocketing, with no end in sight.

Besides that, the locals want your asses out of there!

Go back 10 years in this forum they been saying the same thing. It will always be this way. The one thing that has changed is the rent prices even with inflation though. But its always going to be like this, look at Rio. When they closed down Help almost 2 decades ago everyone was saying "oh this is the end of hookers in Rio" its still going strong and still reasonable prices.

Hope you enjoy your trip SubCmdr. Lots of great info from your posts in the Dominican thread. Official taxi from MDE are 90 k and that includes tolls as the airport is something like a 45 min away from the actual city. Have you considered using a schwabb checking account or capital one checking account and using the debit card (no no fees from these banks) to withdraw money instead of exchanging actual currency? Also, you should try guarapo (cane juice with lime in it. Similar to our united states lemonade, but much better) and bandeja paisa (a meal with a little bit of everything on the plate. It originated in this area). Have fun.
