Medellin Reports

[QUOTE=MrOReilly;1889964]Question for you all, how do you propose I swing this. I am going to medellin and am going to see my GF. But, I know two girls there who want to do a threesome and sleep over as well.

I want to be able to swing the threesome a few nights but not have my GF find out! I was thinking either (1) rent a second apartment or just make sure I clear out of my space by 10 am.

Anyone got ideas on how I can swing this?

Is there a hotel I can rent for three or anything?[/QUOTE]Just tell GF you can't see her one of the nights. You are going out with some friends. No more explanation needed. Unless you are committed, she will have no choice. This is Colombia, you can do whatever you want.

Sunday afternoon I was killing time waiting for my early evening hookup so I decided to stroll Centro to see what Sunday pickings were like at the few casas opened. In a nutshell-- "not much". So IMHO save your centro casa shopping for Lunes-Sabado.

On this day I decided to check out Aiffe (Calle 57 (Argentina) #43-27) only to find that it was closed. Just a few doors down I saw a couple of Colombian guys enter a doorway. Hmmm "I think I will take a looksee" It was a typical unmarked door with stairways up to a gate and buzzer. From the bottom of the staircase I watched a guy get buzzed in and everything about it looked like a CASA situation. I really had no clue what it was, but I figured it was just a new casa not yet mentioned on the board so I decided to up the steps, hit the buzzer and see what it was all about.

WELL-- a guy just opened the gate and directed me to a sala for presentation. Down the hall I could another sala already in the presentation process. To my surprise there were about six men dressed in speedos being presented. I had stumbled unto a gay casa.

I just excused myself and was let out very politely. I think the proprietor figured out I had made a mistake.

SO- Aiffe is not open on Sunday, but a few doors down (up a staircase) one can find some Sunday action of a different sort. I did not note an exact address as this is not my thing, but I am sure a few readers on this forum have leanings in that direction at some times. Just a FYI.

Next to Kamasutra casa (which was closed) I noted a stairwell leading up to a gate and buzzer. It looked like it may be a new casa, but when I checked it out it turned out to be just a love hotel-Hotel Star Suites" Calle 57 #46-41 (231-6196).

I checked out the rooms and they were very clean and modern. 14,000 cop /3 hrs stnd room.

Jacuzzi room--24,000 cop /3 hrs. The towels were even rolled into love swans so you can see this is not a typical bare bones place.

I took a card and put this into my cp for future reference. I do not see it listed on Matt P's map so maybe it could be added.

Just a FYI.

TroyBoy,

That's a perfect example of how curiosity killed the cat. It reminded me the police academy movie when mahone sent two police officers to a gay bar and they got fucked there. Although it seems funny, you lucky you didn't get drilled there or worse found yourself inside a house uninvited with a bunch of criminals or criminal activity taking place. Stupid thing to do, but good reporting.

Cerebro.

[QUOTE=Surfer500;1889897]I find it hard to believe people think that BrazilSoccer's reports are fake. I have met him personally four times in El Centro and what he's been saying is spot on as I have spent several weeks there myself. Just because he's using a terminology for money "lucas" doesn't mean that he's faking reports.[/QUOTE]I appreciated his advice on finding an apartment in Medellin.

Yeah, I remember a few years ago stumbling into what looked like a Centro casa. The first thing that jumped out at me was there was no one to receive me. I walked into an empty sitting room. When I scanned the room I noticed a statuette on a table near the middle of the room. It was a headless nude male torso in the style of Michelangelo's "David. " I turned on my heels and left the establishment, not my cup of tea.

While nobody might want to talk about them, I'm thinking a lot of people would like to know where not to go. Especially since they are already there.

[QUOTE=JjBee62;1890469]While nobody might want to talk about them, I'm thinking a lot of people would like to know where not to go. Especially since they are already there.[/QUOTE]It's a moot point but the stated purpose of the forum is to facilitate finding * women* for paid sex, not aboiding other stuff. I mean, with so many casas, how hard is it just to walk out if you walk in a wrong door.

Another point:

There are mongers on here with a very wide range of experience and street-smarts, from newbies to residents to people who have punted worldwide and punters who have regularly had great times in places that are considered 'dangerous' (and for a newbie, indeed are). I hope the forum doesn't become so 'high class' as to rule out the lower end of the market. (I actually joined the forum many years ago after finding useful info on a similar 'lowlife' area in Brazil). I've had plenty of crazy nights in the streets on the 'wrong' side of Parque Berrio, even if I wouldn't recommend them (I don't want to be responsible if you get yourself robbed or killed). I imagine some people get into problems even in Minorista and I am shocked of course that upmarket Mansion got robbed (you can go even more upscale in lovely Medellin but I draw a line somewhere).

We're here to give info to others, based on experience, with appropriate safety tips, not judge. I don't think Colombia is a country for a total beginner -- too much to learn too quickly -- but there are at least locals who will take people under their wing. If some people got robbed in posh Poblado, that's unfortunate, but remember most people there don't see any trouble, almost ever. Whereas Parque Berrio is what in most cities you'd call a 'badlands' at night. Just to keep some perspective!

It's a great country and a great city. Enjoy!

I don't get the latent homophobia with some of the recent responses to Troy's report. I just thought it was an amusing anecdote, the kind of crazy or funny stuff that happens to any of us mongers who are a little curious or adventurous, and we're feeling bored on a slow Sunday afternoon, or feeling amped up for an epic Friday night binge of debauchery. Monger's credo is nothing ventured, nothing gained right?

It also shows that even some gays have to pay for sex. I used to think they just all hook up with each other via bathhouses, bars, Grindr, etc. And it was only us straights that had to pay for sex. It's a strange world with all kinds of people.

[QUOTE=ElMechanico;1890243]OK, I understand the premise of the Pacsafe. So. The stuff inside the safe is not actually 'anchored down'. The door to the safe is anchored by the PacSafe. Is that correct?

Thanks,

El Mechanico[/QUOTE]The Pacsafe is anchored inside the safe. The wire is wrapped around the door hinge, then the loop on the end is locked to the wire loop on the pacsafe most times I have to use the thinner wire so the door will close, it has always closed on a multide of different brands.

Here is the link to their products.

Look at the previous posts by the guy who attacked TroyBoy. He does not contribute any information on the board, but only attacks other guys. It is obvious that he has not been in Medellin for a while or in his entire life, and he has some mental problems.

Guys thanks for the good compliments and by no means this is meant to make you feel jealous as a well respected senior member commented earlier but its meant to show a different mode of doing things in medellin especially if you know spanish, have the means to stay long term, and not scared to death from el centro. And honestly I hope somone trys it and report back!

Special thanks to Surfer500 for defending me and yes we have met in el centro and can personally vouch for his confidence in walking and hunting in one of the centro hot spots so he knows what I am talking about cause he does the same thing and not afraid to proposition ladies he meets on the streets.

The "Lucas" thing. It's colombian barrios slang for pesos but one Luca equals 1000 pesos. I mentioned this in the prelude. Sometimes, and this may work for the typical shrt trm monger, I would just whisper "30 lucas" to the girls as we pass eachother and turn my head to see if she caught the bait so to speak. So far 2 of the ladies in the fotos I'm posting have. Where the fu at £ did I come up with that idea from: from asking local Colombian men whom I observe whispering stuff then pickup the girls.

Finally, it's not as easy as it seems, sometimes I had to spend 2-3 hrs daily and come up with nothing! And I suddenly get a call from a girl who ignored my calls to the point I can't even recall who she is because I spent all that time talking to more ladies.

So don't get offended if I don't share contacts info of these ladies. But I'll be happy to help answer Qs about how TOs!

Staying busy:

When you live here you can't just do what you normally do when you're here for a short time!

So I stay busy doing normal stuff as though I was back home. I enrolled in a gym and attended roughly 3-4 days out of a week. Also in my case I like playing video games so I made sure to bring my PS4 and a couple of games to keep me entertained when the beautiful Paisas are not around.

Another activity I truly enjoy is spending a weekend in different small towns or pueblos as they are know here. Being in el centro gives me great and fast access to both bus terminals to travel antioquea state and see the nice little town and reset the busy city mode every once in a while.

I also enjoy swimming "Photo attached" and here you can go to several swimming pools where for a small fee you can have a great day with your lady friends! And if you are a serious swimmer, then you can head out to the olimpic pool compound and do labs there. Just be aware of the limited time they give to the public: they train all kinds of teams there and hence have a tight schedule.

And if you are still bored well, you can take a leisurely stroll in el centro, go have a capuchino in caminó real mall or just sit and enjoy the lively activities on one of (junin pedestrian road) benchs. That's the closedoff pedestrian road that leads straight up to parque bolivar.

One way to pass the time in a good way is to volunteer in the really poor areas or at some of the orphanages. There are several great groups that you can work with. For me it is really rewarding. Its gives you a little balance to the debauchery of the monger life. The best one is Angeles de Medellin [URL]https://www.facebook.com/angelesdemedellinfoundation[/URL]. They have a community center up high in the hills above the Metro Cables. You can help out the kids and have a great day up there. Its an amazing place.
