Santo Domingo

[QUOTE=Combo; 1512144]Jooks.

Wouldn't you agree that the North Coast is alot easier for a newbie? You just stay at one of the popular hotels and walk out to Pedro Clisante or the beach and you're pretty much set. I do agree that S. Domingo isn't necessarily difficult, but it does take a bit more planning / effort. Sosua is like "montarian in the DR.[/QUOTE]I agree that if you're sole or overriding purpose in visiting the DR is to monger, then there are easier places than Santo Domingo to do it, Spanish or no. Sosua is probably the number one spot. Personally, and this is just me, I find the mongering scene there gross. I like the north coast, but personally, mongering is not a primary reason for me to travel anywhere. Secondary, maybe.

I don't mean this as an offense to anyone, but one of the reasons I take this board with a grain of salt is that it seems to operate on the premise that everyone on ISG goes to the DR for the overriding purpose to monger. Personally, I'm more content to be with 1 or 2 chicas and to have a good time seeing different parts of the country.

I believe there are other people like me and plenty of people in between. Not everyone is alike and has the same goals.

In my own way, I get around ok in Santo Domingo. I'm not interested in the clubs and I find other ways to meet wimmin. I've been successful thus far and see no reason to change my MO. I stayed in an apartment by myself in Gazcue, figured out how to get around at a reasonable cost, did shopping, etc, and had no problem with my basic Spanish. I'm far from a stranger to Latin American countries and as of yet, I have had no problem having fun with only speaking basic Spanish. BTW, by basic Spanish I mean that I can generally make myself understood and I can converse if the other person takes it very slow.

This makes sense.

Thanks[/QUOTE]They saw "newbie" on your face. It happened to me with the difference that I got ripped off only once by cab drivers (300 pesos from Jaragua to Conuco) which is just a block away. You overpaid for almost everything. My last time on Santo Domingo was on July and I paid from 125 to 200 pesos for cab drivers around the city. Aero taxi is cheaper than Apollo but both are good. Always ask price for everything before buying or using services.

My first trip was 15 years ago, I was surprised on how easy was to get sex. Sex was not the purpose of my trip but I got it easy, if you go with the right attitude, recognizing and expecting that you are in a different country than yours you are going to be ok. Read a lot, get informed you will be ok.

[QUOTE=Frannie;1511827]I don't think Santo Domingo is easy for beginners.[/QUOTE]I can say only one thing based on my personal experience. I live in the suburb and every time I go to the city, I long to get back to the quiet and it was the same for me in Santo Domingo. When I go to the Caribbean, I look for quiet broken by the crashing of the waves on the beach, palm trees and so forth. Santo Domingo is so not that. Just a big city and wilder. Insofar as driving is concerned including one way streets, again based on my experience. Indeed, one summer, I stayed for a couple of days and then the sweltering heat and the traffic, I ran back to the north. The riffraff, they are all over, more so in big cities where tourists congregate, this all over the world. However, In many other places in the DR, not to speak of Sosua, it is possible to cover the place just walking or if one is adventurous, on the motorcycle ride. I would continue to go to Santo Domingo (never been to a casa there or anywhere in the DR) but that city has nothing that other. Smaller places cannot offer on a more humane scale. Spanish or not!

I grit my teeth whenever I see stuff like this but I have bitten my tongue in the past for fear of starting a brouhaha. This is a myth that has been perpetuated over and over by a few people. IMO, it is a myth. I get along just fine with basic Spanish. While fluency in the language would definitely be helpful, it doesn't deter me from doing very much. A long time member lives in SD and barely speaks any Spanish. He's not only a pro with the wimmin, but he has no problem with day to day living including and amazingly (to me) the publicos and metro. Wingman? I never saw that term used until I came here and I thought it was someone who helped find good chicken places. I go vegetarian in the DR.[/QUOTE]You can get around SD without knowing a lick of Spanish. Its the capital, more people speak English than most areas. Only way you pay Gringo taxes is if you are flatly ignorant and never RTFF. I love how guys cry about being overcharged but never ask the price before ordering. You can't find a chick in SD you're either a hideous creature and broke.

Last time I checked ISG, SG was sex guide. I do get fish in a steak house.

[QUOTE=Must Be Jelly;1510143]Now I am thinking did I luck out and she just likes me. Guy's please feel free to give me your opinion on this.[/QUOTE]Cool story. My guess would be a little of both.

I had a trip back to the states and I'm here until the 17th. Right now freezing my ass off.

Anyway, I found these 2 girls that are advertising in one of the Dominican papers.

COMBO 1: UNA HORA DE SEXO ORAL, VAGINAL, Y MASAJES $1, 000 PESOS.

COMBO 2: HORA Y MEDIA DE SEXO ORAL, VAGINAL, Y MASAJES $1, 500 PESOS.

COMBO 3: DOS HORA DE SEXO ORAL, VAGINAL, Y MASAJE $2, 000 PESOS.

ESTOY UBICADA EN HERRERA EN LA ROMOLU BETAN COURT CON ISABELA AGUILAR ESTOY DISPONIBLE LAS 24 HORAS TODO LOS DIAS.

This location is fairly close to where I live in DR (about 10 minutes) and a bit closer than GBP. They are independent and have nice bodies, no face shots. If they are on the street they say and not off in some barrio close to the corner they describe, it will be a busy commercial / residential section of that area and not dangerous.

I'm 99% sure they do not have air conditioning, hopefully they have fans, but that area loses lights quite a bit. Anyway I will give it a test run shortly are report back. I will shoot photos of the area from the outside and take face shots if allowed.

But for this price, I can make this a daily habit.

[QUOTE=Frannie; 1511827]I don't think Santo Domingo is easy for beginners. The sex establishments are commercial in nature, which will affect the price and quality of the sexual experience.

This is still a lot better than the comparable situation in the US where brothels are illegal and if you pick up a stripper from a nightclub and take her home, it will probably cost you a lot, with no guarantee of exceptional performance on her part. And it is not legal.

The real advantage of the DR is that you can use the Internet to get younger, more attractive women than you probably can in the US, and that since prostitution is legal, there is no legal risk involved on either side. Even in the US using free social media sites like OKCupid, it is entirely possible for an old fogey like me (over 60) to get laid for free by fairly attractive women in their mid 30's to early 40's, but it make take quite a bit of work, e-mailing, etc. And a few days to get a result. Taking the same kind of approach in the DR, you can line up a bevy of beauties from 18 to 25 via social media sites, with the certainty that as long as you are willing to reward them financially, girlfriend-style no-strings or few strings sex will be available on the first date almost regardless of how sexually attractive you are yourself.

For the person who wants a vacation where the primary objective is having sex with a number of women, Sosua is a much better bet, because most of the chicas are freelancers which creates more of an aura of spontaneity, and of course there are many, many chicas to choose from. Additionally all is within walking distance. Blackbeards (BB) and Field of Dreams (FOD) near Puerto Plata are also decent destination resorts for those who prefer a more curated sexual experience.[/QUOTE]You mention social media sites to contact the girls prior to visiting the DR. What media sites you are referring to?

[QUOTE=Mayntain;1517199]You mention social media sites to contact the girls prior to visiting the DR. What media sites you are referring to?[/QUOTE]The below listed sites have varying degrees of effectiveness depending on the user:

•Tagged.

•Hi5.

•Badoo.

•Latin American Cupid.

•Dominican Cupid.

It should be noted that Dominican Cupid has a country search feature, I selected Colombia and found a few Colombianas, but the best looking ones were on Latin American Cupid. Dominican Cupid and Latin American Cupid are sister sites like Tagged and Hi5 are sister sites. The Tagged search range is much broader than Hi5, it was difficult for me to find many locations with the Hi5 search engine where as Tagged was much easier. In addition I got the most of my SPAM from Hi5 & Tagged, I will continue to use them but IMHO they are the least reliable of the aforementioned sites.

After thoroughly enjoying GBP I'm wondering if there are some alternatives in Santo Domingo. Its hard for me to believe in the city the size of Santo Domingo there's only one to stab lishment that's like GBP. Anyone have any suggestions?

I had a very interesting situation happen to me when I was in the Dominican Republic for Christmas. I spent a little bit of time with my tagged girl and bought her some nice presents for Christmas. As I gave her the presents I was expecting to atleast get one in return. She didn't give me anything at all. 0 nada. She said she didn't know she was supposed to buy me a present for Christmas. I talked to a few Dominican friends and they said Dominicans don't exchange Christmas presents. Is this true? Anyone have any experience with this?

This is based on the Biblical story of the arrival of the Three wise men bearing gifts to the manger after finding out about the birth of Jesus. It took them time to cross the desert. They are starting to adopt to the commercialized American way of exchanging gifts on Christmas day but the gift exchange part of the holiday is often celebrated on the "Epiphany" I think its called. The more educated are welcome to add to my comments but I have experienced this first hand on my travels in the Latino part of the world.

Day of the Kings (Epiphany for the more sophisticated) as is popularly known in Spanish is as important a festivity as Christmas is / was. Even today, it is an important festivity there, (with the day being a public holiday. That I know even in Holland and Germany). And it hence follows that it is in Latin America. The Hollywoodian Santa Klaus and reindeer of course now reigns supreme. The English (Northern Europeans) in this forum are welcome to add their insights on the evolution of this festive period.

I cannot speak of gift exchanges in the DR, my personal experience in Europe has been that of gifts placed under the Christmas tree as a family but I suspect, it has more to do with the economic angle.
