[QUOTE=Escort King]I imagine Lou at the Shark Bar in Sousa will be throwing a bash.[/QUOTE]I just got back from Sosua last week and Lou now has a projection screen TV along with Satelite TV and he plays whatever game you want. He will definitely have the Super Bowl or any weekly football game you would want to watch!
P.S. Whats up EK, Long time no see. I still owe you a short time at BB's if you ever return to the DR. Or better yet, if i ever return to DR.

LOL... mate let's do Colombia in January!!!
[QUOTE=Uzinuzin]That's funny because I saw some European girls in Classico and the second sentence they said to me was "Did you know 80% of women in this town are 80% positive?". I don't know were they get their percentages from but it is so amusing to here their frustration, literally !?
As for protection, the same story. But I guess it does apply to them more - when they sleep with with DR guys ( women are 15 times more likely to catch HIV during vaginal sex and also they have no control over if the condom is damaged or even ON!).
This doesn' mean you mongers should be careless, of course HIV positive rates are high in DR, specially Sosua/POP.
Be careful, be safe but enjoy.[/QUOTE]I think it is almost impossible to know what the HIV rates are in Sosua. I suspect that they are much lower than the large numbers being mentioned here. Some of the most vulnerable women in the DR are married women who have to have unprotected sex with their husbands, many of whom are faithless and/or using intravenous drugs or having sex with other men on the down low.
Many of the girls in Sosua are relatively sexually inexperienced prior to starting to sell sex to support their children. A typical story is that they were seduced by an older Dominican guy who had sex with them four times, left them pregnant, then left the scene. If they then always use condoms with clients, their risk factors may be less than you might think.
If you really want to have bareback sex with a girl, you can buy over-the-counter AIDS testing kits in local pharmacies for, I think, about $12. While these do not give you an absolutely cast iron guarantee of seronegativity, they are a lot better than nothing. I would only consider this if you have started out with a girl using condoms and want to continue the relationship further and she agrees to a mutual pact that neither of you will have unprotected sex with others. Most mongers, though, don't want to take things that far.
If this advice is coming too late and you have already had bareback sex with a girl in Sosua, the good news is that even if she is HIV positive, the chances of this being transmitted to you by one act of sexual intercourse are statistically extremely slight, probably greater than one in a thousand.
Let me first state that I am by no means an expert on the HIV / STD subject but have been in the Health Education field for over 20 years.
Remember there is NO way to eliminate (100%) the risk of contracting HIV / STD's or pregnancy. You can only reduce the risks.
For most males the risk of contracting HIV or any STD via sexual intercourse is (unless you have a cut on your penis or genital area) not high. The percent of risk increases with oral sex. The reason is that you can have small painless cuts in your mouth where vaginal fluid that may be infected can enter your blood stream.
Many people with HIV or STD's may have NO symptoms (other than flu like for HIV) and unless they get tested will have no idea they carry the disease. Bareback sex is much more dangerous for the women. (*Side note: if she is willing to go bareback with you how do you know she doesn't for others?) When and infected (HIV / STD) male ejaculates into the women his sperm can live for days. Some method of douching again only reduces the risk of sperm remaining in the vagina. Many women (not for hire) will have microscopic cuts in the vaginal wall from regular sexual intercourse that are painless. The odds of these cuts goes way up for the pay for play girls. These cuts combined with infected sperm living in the vagina for several days increases the risk of the women contracting HIV /STD.
As for the validity of statistics it is difficult to know for sure. In the USA with the advanced communications systems we have for reporting such information it is difficult at best to know an exact number of infected people in a City, State or Country. If we (the USA) have difficulty what are the chances that anyone in the DR has a clue about the percent of infected people!!!!
My last point is about testing. HIV is not as easy to detect as other STD's. The window period for HIV (the time it takes for detection) is about 3 months from the time of exposure and even then the recomendation is for follow up testing again 3 months later to be sure. There is NO cure or vacine for HIV only medications that slow it down. Most other STD's (except for Herpes which is with you for life) can be treated easily if detected early. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) website (I hope mentioning this site is permited) has great information.
A personal recomendation would be stay covered and be safe. If you are going to be in a committed relationship with someone who's past may be a little gray (like ours) you both should get tested first.
Stay safe!

Information needed I have been to BB I have now book the penthouse for March does any one have a better description or photo to share of the penthouse other then BB webs Thanks uncle
[QUOTE=Uncle226]Information needed I have been to BB I have now book the penthouse for March does any one have a better description or photo to share of the penthouse other then BB webs Thanks uncle[/QUOTE]The penthouse has a bigger LR w/ac and a full DR table, 2 Bedrooms w/ac, 1 Full bath with a great marble shower, 1 half bath, 1 mini refrigerator.
It is OK, to me it's worth it just for the shower. The shower/baths in the other room types (other than the jacuzzi room) are small and not conducive wet n wild fun. If this isn't important to you, then go with the double deluxe room.
The other downside is that it is on the third level, which can be tough to navigate on the stairs when you've had a few cocktails.
Thanks patrk39. Do you know if the refrigerator is bigger then the one in the regular rooms? I assume its located in living room?

The main living room does not have AC - only the bedrooms do. Also while the big shower looks appealing, the water pressure on the 3rd floor sucks and sometime not much hot water. I generally stick to the deluxe double rooms.

And the deluxe singles on the main floor are a huge plus to avoid the stair climbs... the sex is enough of a workout. I would try for A1-3 they are right at the pool.

In fact I've heard the opposite (that oral sex is safer than the bareback sex for both sexes). Do you have a reference to this anywhere on an offical site/material ?
(sorry if this is in wrong forum, perhaps the admin will move it.)
Several years ago my wife found a condom in my clothing upon my return from the DR. Of course she confronted me.
Let me assure you, this is no time to be honest. Had to think of something real fast. The package was printed in English so I couldn’t say it was a Dominican balloon!
I told her a couple guys and I were on the beach when a local approached and started telling us about this great DISCO—good music, cheap drinks, and lots of friendly locals. He then put a condom in my shirt pocket and said that it would take care of the cover charge. I assured her that we did not go, but I had forgotten about the condom.
She bought it.
Lessons learned:
1. Check everything in your bag as you are packing to leave.
2. Check all the pockets in the clothes you are wearing to travel home
3. Before closing your bag, pour rum over your clothes. Your wife won’t smell any perfume from who knows where and it will add credibility to your story that all you did was party all the time. Even better, the TSA inspectors will really believe you were on vacation
Just tell your wife you were tempted, and a buddy gave it to you just in case, but you did not yield to temptation, shouldn't she be glad!
Didn't there use to be a living in DR section? I'm interested in getting a secound passport from there.

[QUOTE=Great One]Didn't there use to be a living in DR section? I'm interested in getting a secound passport from there.[/QUOTE]
I don't think you are allowed to have two valid passports at the same time. If you want to have a DR passport you have to renounce your US citizenship and become a citizen of the DR. I think. You are now probably on a whole bunch of lists you weren't on before you made this post. (Just kidding.)
