Posts: 6420Warnings against visiting Medellin
In 2023 thirty-one foreigners were murdered in Medellin while three hundred and sixty-one Colombians were killed there. I suppose there should be warnings to Colombians against visiting Medellin too.

Apparently there is a gross misunderstanding about YouTube. YouTube is an Entertainment Platform. The people posting there hoping their videos will be entertaining enough to go viral and get them enough subscribers and viewers to make money. Videos stating 10,000 people visited, fucked to their heart's content and went home smiling and satisfied don't go viral. However, a video saying 1 person out of every 50,000 visitors had something bad happen might just do the trick.
Of course the videos never point out the vast majority who have no problems, only focusing on the 1, who usually ignored all the red flags.
Yes. Medellin is dangerous. It's a city of over 4 million people with a high population density and a high poverty rate. High population, high population density and high poverty rate are major factors in determining crime rate. Add in all the tourists who go for the combination of drugs and cheap pussy and it gets worse. Now toss in people who get all their information from YouTube and it's terrible.
Staying safe in Medellin is possible if you follow some common sense rules.
1. Get the fuck off YouTube. It's for cute cat videos and to watch fat women fighting in Walmart.
2. Stay sober.
3. Know where you are going. Study maps and have a plan.
4. Don't advertise. Leave your jewelry and all the expensive shit at home.
5. Carry only what you need. You don't need a wallet, 8 credit cards and $2,000 USD in cash. You need a phone, preferably 1 that isn't holding access to all your accounts. You need the cash (in pesos) you're going to spend plus 10-20%. You might need an ATM card, plus copies of your passport main page and entry stamp page.
6. Remember that you have no friends. Anyone offering to help you find girls, drugs, places to party or anything else, probably has an ulterior motive. Same goes for anyone offering drinks, or to take you somewhere.
7. Be wary of anyone offering drinks, or offering sex upon first meeting (unless you're meeting them specifically to pay for sex). Same is true for someone pushing to go to your apartment.
8. Don't leave hookers unattended with your stuff. Don't allow them to get you drinks or food.

Posts: 16Is Medellin too dangerous?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQYVq5cjE24
There are so many videos on YT warning against visiting Medellin. The sex scene is too dangerous with too many druggings that have led to a big rise in deaths of Western tourists. Can anyone with first hand experience comment?
How do you take girls back to your room if you know there is a high chance that you could get drugged and robbed? Any tips? Is it safe to take a girl back if you lock away your valuables and don't take your eyes off your drink?

I didn't say I didn't like them. I said that I didn't think it was good for the hobby. And no need for me to stay home. I have plenty of other options amigo.

Posts: 7578Streetwalkers
I don't know that I agree that all aspects of sex should be private, but I do think that at the end of the day, streetwalking is not good for the hobby. It's too out in the open to the public to where it gives those who would like to ban all forms of prostitution altogether some easy ammunition to bolster their arguments for doing so. If we must err in one direction, then more discreet and low-key is definitely better overall.

Posts: 2125Centro was not part of the decree. Only Poblado was mentioned in the decree and only a specific area outlined as a hexagonal area including parque lleras, parque poblado, parque presidential, and some other areas maybe Provenza or Calle 10.

Posts: 2116Bro. It seems highly likely that English may not be your primary language. Please note that the word "sex trafficking" has a significant negative meaning attached to it. We all know why you are coming to Medellin and let’s not call that “sex trafficking“. LOL.
By the way, there is no general ban on prostitution. Prostitution is almost a constitutional right in Columbia. No one can ban it. But cities are allowed to apply restrictions in certain areas for a maximum of six months. After that they have to either renew the restriction or drop it. That is the law.
Mayor, mainly under political pressure from opposition, decided to make these two restrictions. 1) street walking prostitution is not allowed in Parque Lleras and centro. 2) bars within the two blocks of lleras have to close by 1 AM. That is it. Rest of the life in all of Medellin is just as usual. Unless you were planning to come to the city exclusively for the street walkers in these two zones, there is no reason to be worried about the trip.
In my personal opinion, banning Street walking in the Gerace areas is a very good thing. I am strongly biased against street walking. Kind of like several of our other biological needs, I prefer all aspects of sex to be in private, including sourcing of it. Me personally, I would love to see Lleras go back to how it was six years ago. Please, nobody be upset with me. That is just purely a personal opinion. It is No judgment on people who feel differently.

Posts: 1261First, it is the mayor of Medellin, not Colombia. And the ban, or whatever it is, applies only to a part of the city. Read back for more details if you want. The YouTube videos are probably not helping you. They paint a very distorted picture generally. And the sex trade in Colombia is not doomed, but the current moves may make it harder for foreigners as there have been actions taken in Cartagena and in Medellin to curb some of the real problems, plus some imaginary problems.

Posts: 4349I am fascinated by the public messaging. The latest turn is a Chinese tourist was released from custody after being caught with a 14 year old because the kid had presented a cedula. The media coverage is the interesting bit for me. They are now reporting that authorities are investigating whether criminal gangs are using what they call a new technique by providing false cedulas. Since the courts ruled the foreigner can't be blamed, the mysterious criminal gangs become the scapegoat. I've yet to see anything beyond passing mention of the families of young locals, or the economic circumstances that are related to these events. The right wing media, led by local newspaper El Colombiano, in my opinion won't touch the subject because they would be criticizing their readership and their owners.

Posts: 4349It is not even a ban. City Hall has no authority to impose a ban on constitutionally protected legal activity. There would have to be a series of legislative procedures for that to happen. City Hall does have the power to restrict other activities such as liquor sales, access to public spaces, and enforcement of established laws like late night noise. Those are facts. My opinion about the facts is all of the restrictions, posters, and police deployments are politically motivated responses to criticism City Hall has been getting about foreign pedos various other issues.

Posts: 21Am I fucked?
I wrote this post the other day and came across this today while Googling for information on sex trafficking in Medellíand.

From this article, it looks like the mayor of Colombia has banned prostitution.
Guys, am I fucked?
I am an Asian young man going to South America for the first time.
I have already booked a flight to Medellin via LA and I can't cancel this booking.
Fortunately, I haven't booked any accommodations yet, but once I land in Medellíand airport, should I head to Bogotá?
People in Colombia, please tell me, is the sex trade in Colombia doomed? Or is it just a market bluff? Isn't Colombia a country run by drug cartels? Is it possible to do something like that?
Please. I had watched dozens and dozens of videos on YouTube of working girls with huge butts shaking their asses in jeans on the street and now I was on my way to South America to fulfill my dream.
Has sex trafficking definitely decreased? Or is it only affecting clubs and bars? I want to pick up a street hookerI want to pick up a girl with a big ass on a photogenic street! Please! Help me westerners!
I have been through hundreds of sex trafficking in Korea and Japan and I can tell you anything you want to know about sex trafficking in Korea and Japan. Please help me.
