[QUOTE=MrEnternational;2340450]It is amazing how it never gets through to many guys what hookers are for. Like trying to make a screwdriver out of a hammer and getting mad at it when it won't turn the screw the proper way.[/QUOTE]This is an excellent analogy.
[QUOTE=XBoyx;2339758]Planning a trip to Colombia from Aug 3rd to 11th and I promise I'm going to report back. I just noticed there is this flower festival in Medellin during that time.
Does anyone know how it affects the mongering scene? Any change in stripclubs and casas during that time or it doesn't have a big impact on them? Is it better to go to Bogota for few days instead? I appreciate your responses.[/QUOTE]During the time period you mentioned, the Hotels increase their rates due to all the tourists that come into town. The 7th of August is apparently the biggest day of the event. So depending on where you stay, it may cost more unless your staying in a dive in El Centro. As far as the Strip Clubs and Casa's being affected I don't know, perhaps the casa's during the day may be affected if some of the girls are attending one of the many activities in town.
Does anyone know the status of the tunnel construction? Hoping in late August it will be ready when I return to Medellin.

Hello everyone,
All the information in these pages are invaluable and I would like to say my thanks! With that said, I have a few things on my mind on the jist? of it all. I know this is not a roll-call, but anyone planning for a trip in October? I am trying to go during the last week of that month of 5 days, this would be my feeler-trip, but considering the reports I've been reading and an unending lilido, I can get A LOT in hopping casa's day and night. We'll see.
This is my first post. I won't consider myself a newbie monger with over 4 years living in Amsterdam and traversing to Morocco on multiple occasions but Medellin would be the first South American destination on my list. Being a chino-american, mi hablo un pocito espanol (rip on my grammar its okay, idc LOL) as well as a whole bunch of Arabic, Dutch, and Turkish from my experiences abroad. Colombia would be a great test of my collection of filthy spanish I picked up while living in Tangier, that will be a story for another time somewhere else.
A bit more about myself: I am also doomed with a comically young looking baby-face, most people mistake me for half my age (I am in my Mid-30's), so please forgive me if I sound overtly paranoid in my observations below at least you can try to empathize?!
From everything that I have read about the location and how the putas work along with all the risks attached (Burundunga Related "Dates" of any of the social media platforms such as Tinder or just getting fucked in general at gunpoint) and just the general risk of using smartphones in the city (don't want to like dar papaya), it seems to me that one of the most definite ways to get laid relatively safely would be to:
1. Take exclusively Ubers as your main route of getting from point*A to point*be.
2. Stick to the numerous casa's the city has to offer.
Similar to the Tangier scene, I am familiar with how the pro / semi-pro scene work (at least in theory) for Medellin. Not saying Morocco is anymore safe than Colombia, but burundunga is not a local product in Africa. Not sure how many of ya'll saw the Vice documentary a few years back on the substance, but it can cause a person to basically go along with the perpetrator's demands including answering questions like where did you stash what at. I have read that some senior travelers of this region suggest to rent a cheaper airBnB to use as your stash-house for your bread and valuables, but if burundunga makes you go along with their demands what the is the point? I don't want to sound paranoid but if I can smash the level of putas en de casas as oppose to rolling the scopolamine-dice at Parque Lleras-type set-ups for a fraction of the cost (even the gringo cost at casa beats the shit out of the prices I be reading out of Club Gusto), it seems like a no brainier.
Below I have a few specific questions, maybe someone can shed some light:
1. Avoid Strip-clubs as the putas are equally as hot in the option above and you are less likely to get scammed there (2. If flying solo-dolo, would it be wise to hire a tour guide to say wait for you in the casa bar to make sure nothing shady happens (3. I can imagine Tinder dates drugging you with burundunga (Scopolamine / Hyoscine), but has anyone heard of cases with the putas from photoprepago and the likes drugging their tricks (4. Similar to the question above, anyone have extensive experience inviting the puta you met in a casa back to your crib later for an extended stay or TLN? If so, did shit go south?
I think what I am trying to get at is that I am wondering how safe the casa's are, I can imagine they won't fuck with you inside the rooms as far as trying to drug you and steal the money on you as that would be bad for business, their reputation, and I can't imagine it not be busted by the policia already. But I am wondering what happens the moment you try a take-out meal, and if the brothel owners really act and behavior like pimps. I know that this practice of take-outs out of casa's is quite the way to go in places like SJO Costa Rica. But through all the Medellin reports I've read so far has not really mention this being practiced here. So please shed some light. Any would be helpful.
One Last thing, would be nice to get some kind of ratio from all my fellow "Culito Banditos" hehe:
In the casa's, do the majority of the putas put out the culito para propina or its a hit / miss depending on the girl? I ask specifically as almost every other thread I've read thus far seems to point towards the fact that Sexo Por El Culo is pretty much a convention down there, like bread in the store. If that is not the case, please enlighten me.
I think I would like to give it a few months to settle before I go through it.

My experience with Uber is that they're excellent if you're traveling around anywhere between Sabaneta and the Parque Lleras area of El Poblado, and around the better areas of Laureles. They're a lot less dependable cruising around El Centro.
Personally, unless I'm out late, I stick with the Metro and buses. Why get bounced and jerked around in a taxi, if you can save 20 minutes and 12 k on the smooth riding Metro?
2. I suppose if you stick to a few of the casas; Tantra, Energy, New Life, Aiffe, Club Sexxy Amigas, and take a taxi directly to the door, the casas might be the safest option. There will be some debate. However, that stops being the case, IMO, when you take an unknown, untested girl from a casa to your place. You're probably still safe, but the possibility of a disappointing or more expensive session (above and beyond the take out charge) goes up.

" Technically it might have a bit of the same ingredients, but the end result is flavor enhanced garbage.
If you avoid certain behavior, your risk of being drugged is extremely low.
1. Keep a low profile. If you like flashing rolls of cash, someone's going to notice.
2. Don't drink too much. Sipping a few beers is fine. Doing shots with strangers is risky. If you need to get drunk to have fun, they won't even need to drug you, but if they do, your chances of dying go up.
3. Nobody is your friend. Anyone pretending to be your friend is only interested in your money. They may know where the best girls are, but they also know how to get money from tourists.
4. Don't leave your food or drink unattended, if you decide to take an unknown girl out. In order for someone to drug you, they need an opportunity.

I was not overly impressed with the Medellin strip clubs. There is a risk of being pickpocketed. They have nasty rooms, except for the better clubs. Being in a crowded bar with young, drunk, horny Colombian guys makes me nervous. It's also more expensive, if you're trying for the cheapest option.
2. If you hire a known and well-reviewed guide, probably. Although, if you're spending that much money, why go to the low end casas and strip clubs? Go to Fase Dos, La Isla and Loutron. Why pay a stranger to drink beer, while you're fucking?
3. Why go with Photoprepagos at all if you're paranoid about being drugged? It's not much different from Tinder. You're still getting an unknown person with minimal information and no way to verify them.
4. There are plenty of reports from guys who set up an outside date with a casa girl. The results are mixed. Some were happy, some weren't. I don't recall any reports of a takeout girl from a casa robbing anyone, although most guys wouldn't report it if it did happen.
There are also plenty of reports explaining how to go about it. You don't go to a casa, pick a girl and pay the casa to take her home. Some won't allow it, most of the rest will charge a high rate. You go, pick a girl, session with her, get her number, privately, and set up something for when she isn't working.

Why have 10-15 rooms when only 3 of the ugliest girls are there because everyone else is out with customers?
They are in the business to make money. They make more money keeping the girls in house. If you're only looking for take out there are much better options.
There are plenty of escort agencies. They specialize in what you are looking for. You will pay more. However, you're not paying a taxi or Uber to sit around and wait for you, you're not paying a guide to sit around and wait for you, you're not paying a casa to do what an escort agency does and you will probably get a lower volume, better looking girl.
Of course, the best option for what you're looking for is Facebook. You're not paying extra to someone else to use their girl, you have a means to verify at least some of the girl's information and you know what you're getting. You might have to hit several casas to find the girl you want and there's no guarantee she'll be interested in anything outside of the casa. With Facebook, there might be some issues, but you'll be more likely to get what you want and probably won't pay any more than getting casa takeout.

Some will do it, for a price, some won't. A few will offer it without an extra charge. If you're stuck on casas, you will almost always have to request and pay for it.

(and much more)
[/QUOTE]I am not going to respond to all your questions point-by-point, but provide some general information.
You indicate you have been to SJO. IMO, Medellin is safer than San Jose. There are parts of both cities you should stay away from, and parts you are fairly safe day and night. You don't take the ladies out of the casas in Medellin. You may be able to get a lady's number and make arrangements to meet her when she isn't working.
Taxis and Ubers are both safe. It's usually easier to get a taxi late at night. Most Ubers will not pick you up where there are taxis gathered, you have to walk away from the taxi area.
The strip clubs are not scams. They do charge more than casas, but they have standard prices the same as casas. The ladies in many of the strip clubs are more attractive than in casas, and you can see what you are getting (physically) in a strip club. You don't need to hire a guide to stay with you in a casa or strip club, unless you are going downtown late at night. You will be hard pressed to find someone who will do it late at night.
As to being drugged. In almost every incident of drugging, the person was drunk and did foolish things. Forget about being drugged by someone blowing something in your face. They would have to almost blow it directly in you nostrils to affect you.
Almost every available lady in Medellin is out to make you happy and get paid for it. Very few want to rob you or harm you. Some may take something from your room or apartment, line a toiletry item or a phone charger or cable. Although it seldom happens to me, I consider that something they need rather than stealing for a profit.
I don't know where you have been reading about anal sex, but you should discard that as a source of information. Very few of the ladies will provide that.
[QUOTE=FunLuvr;2341196]The strip clubs are not scams. They do charge more than casas, but they have standard prices the same as casas.[/QUOTE]Casas have standard prices. Strip clubs do not. ALWAYS negotiate with a chick at a strip club. Do not take the first price you are given. Fase 2 may be an exception. But the ones in downtown Medellin and Santa Fe in Bogota, always negotiate.
In the strip club the room is actually a standard price and the chick keeps the balance. (This is spelled out in Fase 2 where you pay separately for the room and the girl.) In a casa, the chick gets a certain amount of that standard price. I think it is half. So if you pay 40K in a casa, the chick gets 20K. If you pay 60K in a strip club I think the room is 10K and the chick keeps 50K. In the strip club they are more independent contractors, whereas in the casas they are employees on commission.
Thank you everyone for taking time out of your day to answer these questions. A few remarks I have after reading your comments:
1. I am not a drinker what-so-ever, much much more of a fanatic for la crippa. Does anyone have experience scoring grade-A product? I have zero interest in trying to get any Miley-Cyrus out there just not a fan of anything that makes you alert and edgy, that is what work is for not your leisure at least my IMO and I am well aware of the dangers of associating myself with narco-traffico. What am talking about right here is more about the love of the mean mean green.
2. Facebook will be tricky as fuck for me for a few reasons: due to some freak-of-nature reasons, my face just doesn't age. Its a very very awkward situation to have in life, I am not touting my own horns here (if I could, I could proverbially saw off these "horns") but most people mistake me to be a teenager. I am also on the skinnier side of the BMI-scale, which really doesn't happen any of this. Obviously the moment I start speaking they can usually tell I am no fucking kid, but people constantly stare at me as if I have no life experience in general. I constantly get attention from younger females and most regular "ladies" (as oppose to the hoes) my age that are single with no prospects are quite frankly baggage-the, loose / worn-out, or fugly in general, which is just a curse with icing made of shit on top of it. I have zero interest any of that pedophilia-shit and anyone that is involved with it really needs to get their buttholes stomped-out in a Mexican prison followed by having their dicks sounded by medieval maces. I like my putas thick and slightly older like 25-29 range as they know how to fuck and take care of a dude. Can I get an Amen? So facebook and tinder in general, women usually think I am a horny teenager doing something he is not suppose to do.
3. Besides all that, I am also Chinese. I have noticed that there are seasoned vets on this board that are Chinese and has ventured into Medellin with great success, and I am sure that the "Chinese-monger" stereotype is no news to anyone on this board LOL. How often did you get called a chinito or chin-na or chino while you were there? I understand the term can be either affectionate or discriminatory, and unless you are fluent or can stay alert while doing crazy translations in your head, you just may never ever know. With that said, if a chica on the street calls me a chinito while waving and smiling, the intentions are fucking obvious. But if a dude that shit to me in, depending on the setting, how can someone even tell? I am sure that being Asian will stick out even more so than being white, but realistically, I don't know kung-fu (I wasn't brought up in the Shaolin temples, unfortunately), I am just another gringo from America just that a bit more tanned. So, my fellow Asian mongers that has traversed to this Disneyland of grande culo's, how often did ignorant people try to fuck with you or realistically we have just as much of a risk of being fucked with gringo or not? Race shouldn't have anything to do with any of this, but as I understand, Chino just means a yellow-face, we can be Uzbekistan and speak purely Russian and still be a Chino in Spanish speaking countries so I thought this would be a huge factor as I try to navigate these streets with my Spanglish / google translate.
4. Do the local police at least have a basic grasp of English? I don't expect it but I can imagine that if and when shit do go south like having your phone (consequently your translation apps) stolen, you got to explain to the police what is happened. I have heard a mixed bag of opinions about the local police. If you can bribe these people, where is the "line" of what you can and cannot get away with in this country? Sounds pretty fucking scary, again, trying to get a big picture of the place and I am not trying to over-generalize the reports that I have read while not actually spending them there.
Your time and answers are really appreciated and I will post a very extensive trip report once I do get back in one piece LOL.
[QUOTE=JohnGault;2340417]I know for sure he sold his apartment in Mayorista, and he moved to Tampa. The word I have heard is he is dead. The man had health problems while he ran My Place. The last time I saw him was about 5 years ago while walking on the Mayo strip.
Years ago I always stayed at his place. I wrote many trip reports about his apartment, and the Mayo strip. He became a friend. One day I brought a Chica I found from the strip club Las Americas to a birthday party for one of his guests at his apartment. On my next trip there he told me that the Chica I brought to the party was now not allowed in his place. He told me he started a relationship with her, and it did not work out. I really liked the girl so I had to take her to a love motel. Of course that was the end of my stays at My Place.[/QUOTE]Yes taking another guys pussy is just not cool, be it an escort or regular gal. I had it happen to me years ago from what I thought was a good friend.
I know the saying "bros before hoes" but common decency always moves me to have quick discussion with my buddy and let him know that a particular girl is off limits or no problem and go have at it. This works both ways as I respect my Colombian buddies wishes too, I ask him if a certain girl is open and available for me, a few times over the past few years he ask that I do not party with a particular chica, and I don't. Some times I will ask him months later if anything has changed any most of the time he is good with it.
Never forget "bros before girls"!
The Tall Man.
[QUOTE=IamLookin;2340761]Does anyone know the status of the tunnel construction? Hoping in late August it will be ready when I return to Medellin.[/QUOTE]The Uber driver that drove me to the airport said it would be mid to late August. That was a couple weeks ago.
I would add that going downtown to the casas or strip clubs alone at night is not recommended specially for a new person to Medellin. Not even some veterans will venture into downtown at night. As mentioned take a cab directly to the strip clubs at night and back. Culito is available but not guaranteed. When you get the parade at the casas just ask them if they give it up. So you don't waste your time. The meet and greet at the casas takes about 5 seconds per girl at the end you pick the girl so remember the names, they are not just hanging around, they usually disappear after they say hola. So ask quickly. Facebook is definitely the best way. It just takes some work in the beginning. Would recommend the gringo hotel that shall not be named for your first time. For a couple days at least. Great place to network with girls and other mongers.
