General Information

[QUOTE=NattyBumpo;1962715]I aree with Wicked Roger and Dg8787 on food, drink, lodging, small gifts, and souvenirs, ect. These are all assumed to be part of the vacation package by the girl. In addition, a bar girl will want her LT nightly rate whatever that is. And some monetary girls might ask for the barfine too saying mamasan expects it or she can't leave her bar without a barfine. I object to this last item. If a girl really wants to go away with me and have a good time on a beautiful beach somewhere, she will find a way to excuse herself from bar room duty. Its usually pretty easy for a girl to find an excuse not to show up at her bar for a short period of time like 4 or 5 days. If she can't or won't, I would take that to mean she does not really care one way or another about going somewhere nice with me and I would view that as a ominous sign of things to come if I were to go ahead and impulsively take her somewhere anyway. I strongly believe in the idea that we should only take special girls, whom we know pretty well and with whom we are on really good terms with already, away on a beach holiday. Otherwise it is a big crap shoot and probably better to go to the beach solo.[/QUOTE]Very good advice.

Newbs take note.

In all my years of coming to the Philippines I have yet to take a fast-craft, so I was wondering about something.

Has anyone taken a ferry with a suitcase full of marital aids? Was this an issue?

In the past when a security guard would go through my stuff and discover my stash of naughty toys, I would make a joke or two and the security guard would laugh and send me though without issue. Not sure about this when it comes to taking a ferry.

I have heard through the grapevine that security goes through everything in detail when getting on a ferry, so just curious to know what others have experienced.

What about in your carry on bag when flying? Any issues at the airport?

I usually fly and put everything in my checked luggage, but next trip I want to travel light with only a carry on bag, and get off the beaten path somewhat.

Thoughts?

Airports in any country will not only x-ray both checked and carry-on luggage, but sometimes you see them have the owner of carry-on open and divest the carry-on of some / all items. They don't really care about your dildos, they are looking for security concerns from something they saw on the x-ray machine.

Have never had my luggage looked thru on a fast (or slow) -craft in phils. You walk down the gangplank pulling / carrying your luggage (or a porter helps), then its stowed in a locked room until disembark time. Others?

WC.

WC.[/QUOTE]Last month, we traveled from Cebu-Tagbilaran RT on Ocean Jet. One medium bag each, had to be passed thru metal detector type device at the pier ticketing office / check-in area. Seemed perfunctory, no hassles.

Outbound, bags were required to be separately ticketed, with a small extra fee which included porter loading onto the vessel. Upon arrival, just grabbed our bags from the luggage rack area in the middle of the boat, and carried them off ourselves over the wooden board gangplank. A bit of a walk to the parking / taxi area.

Saw locals who just carried their own bags and goods without paying the extra luggage fee.

OM.

Had handcuffs in my carry on at both Mactan and the ferry. They asked me but I pointed to the cutie, they laughed and let me through.

Just be cool and joke as you did and should be no issues. Unless is a bakla guard who may ask for your number LOL (or worse. So don't say they are for personal use).

Or can one point me to a "newbie guide to Cebu".

Have looked in main Phil forum and Cebu forum and read back 2 years in general information.

Any other good threads for newbies?

Any other good threads for newbies?[/QUOTE]No just the general ROD and there is plenty on this thread on hotels, places to go / no go, tips etc or PM but RTFF as you said ans ask with some intelligence and not "hey dude / bro where is this place / please tell me her digits. " as that just gets a lot of interesting but uninformative replies LOL.

Was in Cebu for a short holiday, alone. First day I checked into hotel, I used WeChat to find some girls nearby and talked to few. One of them was responsive and sent me her pictures which was taken by Camera360 app. Pictures look good enough and she asked for 2500 as my hotel is far from city. When she came, looked same as pictures, except at least 20 lb heavier. That damn app must have a slimming option. Well it wasn't expensive and I didn't want to send her back so I took her to my room. Then she didn't want to do any BJ. Too late at that point so I just got her on top and finished ASAP.

Second day I spotted a so-call model. She is a mixed, half Spanish. I saw her Facebook account and pictures look really nice so we agreed on 4000. But she had modeling event so could only come at 2 am, which was too late for me. We agreed to meet following night. She insisted she would come to my room straight as she didn't want to be seen with anyone in lobby, which is a bit weird. When she came, again looked like pictures but much darker and BIGGER than I expected, tall and really big booty, which looked quite sexy. Then she asked to be paid first, which I did. After she took money, she claimed she didn't have condom because she didn't want to be seen buying condom as she is a model and people know her. Now I was totally pissed. Told her just blow me and get this over. She made a fuss about no condom no blowjob, only hand. I got very upset and she finally agreed but asked for "bonus". Of course I refused so she did a half ass BJ, no CIM, and I kicked her out.

Third girl was much better. She said she was a college student. Only does this on weekend. She asked for 5000. Sent me many pictures which all looked great. I agreed (call me big sucker). She came wearing sexy dress and heavy make up. This one liked to French kiss, very GFE. Real tight pussy. When I pulled it out actually made a popping sound at the end. Awesome BBBJ and deep throat, one of the best I had, and ok to CIM after few different positions. She stayed for 4 hours, with a room service call in between as she claimed was hungry. I tipped her another 1000 as I was a real happy customer.

Here is question. Other than the first one which was the fat girl, I think the other two are TG, transgender. Some of the "girls" I chat clearly told me she is a shemale / ladyboy / TG / TS. Most of them mark it on their Wechat names. But these two both claim they are girl. They are both taller than me, big body frame, big hands and feet, very small tits. Both had quite wide booty section though, which usually guys don't have. Second one was only BJ and she kept underwear on but I was quite sure no penis. Third one really had pussy and I felt it got wet. I felt she even had a climax as her body was shaking and face got red. And her skin is super soft and smooth. I got suspicious as she didn't let me touch or kiss her pussy and from Facebook I found her pictures from few years ago were quite manly, although she had few boyfriends. Are they TG? I thought most TG will be upfront and tell you they are. Do some of them try to hide it? Has anyone met anything similar to this? How can you tell? Now I am not sure if ones I met in Thailand are real girls or not.

P.S., this was first time I have been to Philippines. Unlike Thailand which you can buy Cialis or Viagra in any pharmacy. Cebu is pretty strict. Some pharmacies ask for prescription. Others only have 5 MG Cialis or generic Viagra. With action everyday I need some boost.

Generally cam to cam is the first way and that will tend to ID them. The voice is generally low, they are generally taller, some have a visible Adams apple, some only want Greek (as on their period).

And of course the photo. Now if you were to post a face pic some can tell from that alone.

As to coming to the room directly a few I know do that (definitely not LBs) as they are know in the area and don't want friends to see (shame / shy) so not unusual at times.

IMHO there is no 100% way to spot them but all the above can be used.

Based on what you said the last 2 could have been as you say taller than you etc but unless I see them I can't say for sure.

But I see many a westerner fooled by the Ayala LBs and when am with friends I take a bet as to how before she / he returns minus the punter once he realizes he is walking the mall with a LB.

The V, see etc is available depends which pharma and there are a few clues on this thread but the mainstream ones are not as friendly as they used to be.

Way overpaid for a half-ass blow job. The student was not bad. Good sex and awesome blow job. Now looking back 100 usd was bit expensive though.

[/QUOTE]Just my 2 cents / peso / baht or whatever.

Point 1. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then you know what.

Point 2. I can't believe so many guys won't reject suspect "girls". Negotiate first. If they won't do / fess up to what you want / ask. Get rid of them. Plenty more fish. And I never will pay up front.

Point 3. Experience is a good teacher- as many mongers will tell you. You can spot LB a mile away if you know what to look for. If not sure see Point 1 & 2.

Try this -when you first meet and if you are not sure say - "man I hope you are a LB" - most non LB's will laugh and tell you they are normal, LB's will jump at the chance and admit. Then you just walk away.

Quite agree with WestCoast too "It appears now that you've sexed many transgenders. Don't feel bad: If it was good for you at the time, then its good for you. Right?

[QUOTE=LifeIsABeach;1998164]I have taken many fast ferry boats to different islands and never had security check into any luggage, carry on or checked.[/QUOTE]I have taken several. Nobody looked into anything. Looking back, I wish there was at least an x-ray scanner like at the airport. Safety first. Except when I'm drinking.
