[QUOTE=Frannie;1227469]If you are new to the DR it is a bit like going to Disney World or Busch Gardens, and it is all about you, and you want to try all the different rides to see what they are like. If you are a man of 50 and you have a chance to have sex with a girl of 19, it is exciting in its own right just because you are 50 and she is 19. But once you have had your fill of 19 a few times, the novelty wears off and it is all too easy to fall into the kind of episode described above where you take a girl just because you might as well get a ride while your admission ticket for the amusement park is still valid, even though there is no real chemistry or passion that takes it above a mutual jerk off session.[/QUOTE]I've been to the DR 30+ times and the novelty hasn't worn off for me yet thank god, maybe because the amusement park is so damn big and there are thousands of rides. I did the novia thing for a while but I jumped off that ride while it was still going, fuck that shit, going around and around on the same ride day in day out it started to make me dizzy.

[QUOTE=Frannie; 1227469]Interesting report that raised a lot of issues. In a country like the US, especially for younger folks, it seems that alcohol and sex are inextricably linked.
If you want sex, it is just easier to have someone whom you know to be a good sex partner available at any time of day than to have to go shopping for sex each time you feel horny with no real guarantee that the impulse purchase will really hit the spot.[/QUOTE]It is an interesting conundrum. Sex and alcohol together. Is it, according to you a typical US thing or you have seen it in other parts as well? Of course, D. R is quite unlike other places. You do not need, not even one drink to work the magic. Perhaps the Spanish and African heritages have made people look at sex. Not in the puritan form?
Talking of guaranteed delivery of sex with a novia, I wish things were that easy. Any time you have a long (or longer) term commitment, things change. I do not know how sexually available the D. R women are. That is "on demand" always or is it the way it is all over the world, that women pretty much decide once she knows who the boss is.

A serious question
Any of you guys have a bad trip to sosua? I remember back in May, I was in sosua and was just having a horrible time. It rained everyday, almost all day, the clubs wasnt that packed, cops were locking up chicas. My atm card got cancelled because I didn't tell my bank I was leaving the country. My room in new garden just sucked, had a condom pop during sex with a chica "I've been tested many times since then I'm clean" just dreary depressing all the time. Not to mention the crowd down there was a shady bunch of dominicans deported from america and what seems like hoods from jersey and new york on deals. After 3 days I just wanted to come home. Oddly enough I had most of my free sex during this time. A chica from sosua plaza and some girls who work the bars on calle. May was actually my last trip directly to puerto plata. I've been going to Boca Chica two days and Sosua 2 days just to break up the time.

Sex and Alcohol, that is what vacation is for. Pubs in England have to close early because of the government curfew.

At some point in my life, long before I ever considered paying for sex, I came to the realization that alcohol wasn't really necessary and that the most important factor in getting a woman into bed was simply to tell her that you found her very attractive and (if that went down OK) then tell her that you wanted to have sex with her. Even if she didn't immediately say yes, if she had the chance to think it over and sleep on it, she would often come back with a glint in her eye. To me that realization marked the dividing line between adolescence and adulthood.
In the DR the game is a bit different because sex is so devalued. A chica below the age of 25 who is attractive can command a price, but with a woman over 30 just telling her that she is attractive will often get the job done. In the US it will be difficult for a man of 50 to date a woman under 40. In the DR one would not expect a man of 50 to date a woman over 40.
Interesting article very recently in Salon. Com by a woman who was hit on by a Dominican taxi driver in the US that shows some of the cultural differences in sexual attitudes and a surprising end result. [url]http://www.salon.com/2011/12/11/the_creepy_taxi_cab_ride_ill_never_forget/[/url]

The guy on the left, just past Rocky's is also very fair, sits in a white plastic chair.

Solo Mission Part 4
Day 2. Gaining momentum.
I got about a good 4-5 hours of sleep. I was lazily tossing around in bed debating whether I should get off my ass and make it down to breakfast before 10 am. It was about 9:30, so I used about 10 minutes to evaluate my first day in Sosua. I was not too happy about how the way my trip started off and I was disappointed in my first day observations. I know it was the earlier part of the week, but the overall talent quality had taken a dip since June. The quantity appeared to be take a hit as well. I assumed the situation would be better in December because of the holiday and those that don't normally participate in this occupation might try to make some extra cash. I don't know. Maybe the previous police pressure has diminished the ambition of the part timers or maybe the decline of tourists has made it seem not worth the effort.
I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face and threw on some athletic gear. I was able to make breakfast just before it closed. I ate breakfast while an my eyes gazed upon the wonderful setting. The sun was shining bright. A few boats waded in the water. A gentle breeze caressed my cheek. It is moments like these that I try may best to soak in my surroundings and burn memories in my mind, so I have something to treasure when I am stuck in sex prison and back to my daily routine. At this point, I figured that I could not handle staying at Sosua by the Sea. I should have booked my room at Sosua Bay. Since my reservation was with Orbitz, the probability of getting my money back was pretty low given the ironclad commitment you make with them by paying in full in advance. I wasn't going to just eat this cost. I decided to ask the hotel for my money back. The manager told me I would have to talk with Orbitz. Fuck it, it's worth a try.
I spoke with a rep at Orbitz and was told that I need the hotel to approve the transaction. Oh boy, he were freakin' go with the run around. Surprise, Surprise, the owner was really cool about it and even provided me an official copy of the email. I received my money in about two days. Quick service. He was a stand-up guy. Even with the situation somewhat murky, I checked into Sosua Bay. I made sure to choose a room with only breakfast included and not the all inclusive package. This is very important because they have a separate building for the two packages and you have a more discreet entrance for you company. I never tried to bring any Chicas to the main entrance. I felt self conscious with families milling about.
I couldn't check into my room until about 2:30 pm I had to find something to do for the next two hours, so I walked the entire length of Playa Sosua and then I looped around and walked back to the main drag from the road. The entire trip took me about an hour. It felt good to break a good sweat and clear my mind. I had to get my game plan in order and make the most of these next four days. The first thing I was going to do was get some generic V (LOL) to ensure there won't be any technical difficulties going forward. I bought a four pack for 200 pesos off some street salesman. He tried to get 500 pesos unitl I looked at him like he was crazy and was going to bounce. Now that is taken care of, I still needed to waste about another 45 minutes so I got a manicure from this Haitian woman and she did a great job. Fellas, that was a great investment. I got a bunch of compliments from Chicas and I think it conveyed to them that I have a good level of hygiene.
I finally checked into my room. I squared everything away to make it comfortable again. Of course my usual set-up was going. A presidente, Henny in my cup, and music blasting. I went out on the balcony and took in the scenery. I had nice view of the bay, but I was back in the cut some with a few trees shielding me from public view. Perfect! I sat on the balcony and fired up a j. With all the mishaps and other activity, I was beat. It was felt great to finally be able to relax. I could literally feel the tide changing and I knew my vacation was finally in full swing. I know I needed rest, so after about an hour of entertaining myself, I dozed off for about three hours. I woke up feeling a bit strange, but I quickly shook off the cobwebs. I got dressed and hit the door.
This was my day to get it in. I went back to Rumba. Things were somewhat subdued and I was happy for it. It had to be about 8 pm I was able to drink my beer and not really be bothered. Any slight eye contact and I quickly turned my head into the other direction. I stayed there about an hour and then I chilled out at Merengue Bar with my project. She had to work the register that night, so I spent the next 3/4 hours bs'and with her and getting buzzed in the process. During this time period, she warmed up to me even more. I got a few hugs and kisses on the cheek. She had me sit right next to her. The owner seemed really cool about it and didn't say a word to her. I guess he felt safe that I wouldn't dip my hand in his money. I know I wouldn't have felt too comfortable with somebody that close to my dough.
I didn't feel like the Classicos scene at all, plus I was really enjoying myself right where I was sitting. However, I was not about to let my night pass with out getting some pussy. My project promised to meet me the next day at the beach. With that, I told her I was tired and was going back to the room to go to bed. I did go back to my room, but only to drink and smoke. It was about 2 am Now (the details are fuzzy) and I wanted to camp out on the strip and see what I can see. I went down DR Rosen, so I wouldn't be seen by anyone working at Merengue. While walking down DR Rosen, this is the point where I passed Mr. Gogo. My foot took hold in a crevice of some lumpy sidewalk and I briefly tripped. Yes, I was fucked up at this point, but I don't think I was sloppy. I didn't notice him and he didn't notice me. He was a good sport and advised me to take it easy. We both laughed it off and went on our way.
I reached the strip and stood on the sidewalk between Bar Central and El Flow. I didn't need to drink anything else and I didn't want to be get cornered sitting in a bar. Chicas started flowing out of the clubs by this time and I was patiently waiting for the right opportunity. It took about 10 minutes for my first TLN to cross my path. She was light skinned, about 5' 3", flat stomach, a perfect little ass, and pretty smile. The crazy part about it is that I still wasn't satisfied. What the hell was I on? Anyway, she came up to me and I instinctively gave her a hug. She melted her body into me and I ran my hands up and down her back. She had on a short one piece dress made of elastic material and her body felt good. Eventually, my hands travel to her ass and that was it. Man, she felt good. Done deal. We settled on 2500 for TLN.
We got back to the room and she took a shower and I put my special playlist on. I know she might not have understood the words, but it was for me more than her and the melody set the mood anyway. I tend to be a more affectionate, romantic type lover than an animalistic, heavy banger. I took a quick shower and when I came out of the bathroom, she still had the towel wrapped around her, but the sheets were down and she was resting on a pillow. In my mind, I'm like ohh shit! This is what the fuck I am talking about. I could tell by the look in her eyes that she wanted to get it on as bad as I did. I slid it next to her and she started caressing my face and I opened her towel and ran my hands up and down her body. She has nice perky tits, with somewhat fat nipples and medium sized brown aerolas. I instantly started sucking on her titties. My kisses traveled up her neck, then ears, and I trailed kisses on her cheeks before I settled on her lips. I gave her a few pecks on the lips and then something changed.
I felt that she might have had the ability to be hardcore, but at this point her participation really amped up. Next thing I know we are deep kissing. Her hand traveled down to my towel and removed it. She grabbed my dick and started stroking me slowly. The V and her effort had me going. Without too much more detail, BBBJ, DATY, and then some great sex. After I came, I discarded the condom and was just trying to get my breath back. Damn, that shit hit the spot. Well, in a less than five minutes, she is back at it. Normally, there is not a snowballs chance in hell that I'm ready to roll this soon, but I responded. I think the V and my overall excitement put me over the edge. I can't put a time to our next session, but we fucked to the point that I didn't have any more energy and I couldn't come. That didn't stop her though because she was insatiable. I don't know what the heck I opened up in this chic. Well, she gave me about 10 minutes rest and we were back at it again. Once more, I don't know how long this next session went on, but I was able to come and we both passed the fuck out.
I started rolling around about 11 am I felt I needed to get this show on the road. I had already missed breakfast. (Actually, I wouldn't make it to breakfast anymore the rest of my trip. I always got out of bed late.) We had one more session that morning. We both showered and left. She had me walk her to her temporary home. Supposedly, she is from Santiago and was just in Sosua for a couple of weeks to make some money. She shared a room with another chica and some locals residence down the other end of PD. I chilled for a minute. Her roommate was studying English and did ok with it. They brought me some lemonade. I hung out briefly because I was starving and needed to eat. I damn near felt like I was going to be held hostage. Her roommate was definitely good enough to fuck, but it was not that type of party. I paid her 3000 pesos and then made my way to Baileys for a lunchtime omelet. The only problem going forward is that I was bullshitting her throughout about being my novia and this would be a slight pain in my ass for the rest of my trip.

But my knowledge of low income US households also shows that sex is devalued. Is it a class thing irrespective of geography?
Read the salon article. Interesting to say the least though did not quite understand the motivation behind "I love you".

Read the Salon article. Interesting to say the least though did not quite understand the motivation behind "I love you".[/QUOTE]Regarding "I love you". Probably a confusion relating to the Spanish words "te quiero" which can be translated both as "I love you" and as "I want you" or "I desire you" and is not quite the same as "te amo" which means "I have affection (love) for you". Anyway, the guy was not a native speaker of English, so his choice of words may have been questionable. Similarly his phrase "take a break" may have been a translation of the word "rato" which is often translated into English as "short time". So probably he was meaning "How about a quickie?"
I talked to a girl today who said she was 28 and that she had a son who was 17 whom she bore when she was "almost 14". Now, why do I think she was not telling the truth about her age? Devaluation of sex? I don't know, but when I was young many decades ago the hot issue of the day was so-called "premarital sex", which seems quite laughable today. Most Dominicans do not marry in any formal sense though they refer to their common law spouses as "mi esposo, esposa". Sex is just a means of exchange of favors, and has about as much significance as shaking hands. It has nothing to do with romance or sexual attraction, so it is devalued in that sense. I think when people are generally sexually promiscuous, then partners become much more interchangeable, because what is sought is the novelty of a new body for additional stimulus, rather than any sense of becoming intimate with a new person, but the sex is usually rather generic.
It may not be so much that sex is devalued in the DR, but that it is overvalued in some other societies. If you compare Muslim societies to North America, sex is quite hard to come by for most men, but for quite different reasons. In some ways I think it is healthy that it is devalued, because frustrated sexuality is much less likely to be the cause of sex crimes or terrorism and once you have had your fill of sex, you can devote creative energies to other things.
