Sex Mongers in Medellin

Yes, it's true. Now I must consider leaving this beautiful city. Here's the background.....

I have been living in Medellin for a year and a half. I teach English here and I love it.

I met a couple of older gringos in the park one day and they began to recount the women that they had met and tried to have sex with. Gross!!!!! They then began speaking about the Paisa girls as if they were cattle. They asked me if I had been to some special whore house. I politely excused myself feeling very sad that sex tourism has come to Medellin. It only goes downhill from here. I guess Brazil has had its fill and the sex monger has heard about the beauty in this city. Normal Paisa girls will not want to meet foreigners because of these scum buckets.

Any thoughts?

Skippy you are right Skippy ! I feel very sad to see how some f..kn Gringos tread the girls in Medellin, I could thro up anytime I see that two old guys sitting at Ave Maria with young girls which could be there grand daughter and feeling proud like hell,
just look at your self guys how funny and stupid you look like when slapping a young women on there ass and giving here a tip of a few peso.
the beauty of Medellin is going down because some gringos think Colombia is an sex tourist county, go back to TJ Mexico or to Thailand where you been before !
by the way if I catch that gringo guy who grab my wife on her boobs last Saturday at Lleras........watch out

Skippy, Skippy, Skippy, why the hell would anyone gotto Colombia if not for sex. I know I’m not alone, but my number one reason for vacationing in Colombia is to get laid, drunk and high. Just like I gotto Miami for just one reason, and that’s to go fishing. Do you think I gotto miami to enjoy the company of all those Cubanos habla mierda?
Listen, as long as I have a fist full of dollars I know I will be considered “encantador” in Colombia. I know that I could also go to Dominican Republic, Thailand, Peru, and other places and get the same attention, but women in Colombia are far more attractive, in my book. When you get old, and you’ll find out one day, women get disgusted by your mere presence and it happens to me a lot here in USA but when I gotto Colombia I’m no longer ese viejo canoso jediondo a mierda, as a matter of fact, I’m told that I’m quite handsome, charming mature modefoque and even have 19 year olds following me around, at least the ones that are not scared of me. For some odd reason, I tend to frighten them off.

I'll get there, when I get there!

Read about Pablo Escobar I don't think gringos really invented the sex industry in Medellin, as attractive as it is to blame us.

Rich older men have been screwing hot young Paisas for generations now. the only difference now is that some of those men are foreigners who are no longer afraid to go there.

Open your eyes, Skippy... its not about gringos in Colombia, ...its about people who have money versus people who do not have money but who want money.....People from each category come from all countries and etnic backgrounds, and the the people with less money but who want money are usually from countries with shitty economies.....to blame "gringos" for the "sex trade industry" anywhere is just plain naive and stupid. Or your statements are based on the fact that a white person sticks out and is more noticeable in public in a latin country, which would make you mistakenly believe that it is the gringos that are responsible for the sexual activity or sex trade industry in Colombia?

Just my opinion...

MedellinViking says on Jul 18, 2006, 17:58:

Gringos are fighting for their 1% I cannot figure out if Skippy and others main problem is the age difference in the couple. Look around, there are a vast majority of women dating older men here. It really seems to be a minor issue here. Possibly the problem is prostitution in general. But I haven't seen any mention of a solution where this prostitute who is a single mom with 2 children to feed can get another job that pays more than 1 million a month to survive on. Or is the problem that the gringos are promoting more prostitution? I would guess that about 99% of the paid sexual transactions are with Colombian men. I know that 99% of my clubs clients are Colombians and although it is a Swingers Club, (Cuchicheos in Medellin) many are with thier lover(s). I just get a bit pissed with the people that mouth off about sex for pleasure as being a bad thing. But I do have a solution for taking the heat off the sex trade. Cocaine vacations!!!! You know the client, they snort (or smoke or take it on the gums) about $1000 on the weekend. Hell they should buy a ticket here for $500 and snort themself into oblivion while infusing more money into the economy here. Don't just come here for the sex... when you can have sex and drugs! What do you all think of that?

Just everyone keep in mind:
The culture here is very promiscuous.
The Pros are doing whatever they can to feed their kids or pay rent etc.
Sex and love are 2 different things. Anyone that wants proof just email me for the url to my clubs webpage.

A small paraphrase from Jimi Hendrix:
When the Power of Lust (Love) overcomes the Lust (Love) of Power there will be Peace

Shocked and Stunned !! I was recently in Medellen and I was just stunned at what only 150,000 pesos would buy you in a nice club. It would cost you almost double that in Cali for the same quality of women.

Now taking into account the forces of supply and demand, there has to be a lot more hookers in Medellin or some many mongers in Cali that they are driving the price up.

When an older guy is looking to "associate" himself of a woman of that tender age, he isn't interested in conversing anyway. He is looking to get right down to "business", and is not looking to have a discussion on the subtle themes in a Marquez novel.

What the f-ck is up with that? why the finger up the azz? any gringas out there?
Anyways, now, I can’t even get the time of day. WTF is a guy to do? Simple! Pay for it!!!!
If I could have a girl just LIKE Lauthra, That's a big IF, for one month, I’ll give her half of what I got in my 401K plan, tax free. When guys reach their 40’s , 50’s and beyond we no longer think with the big head attached to our shoulder, we think with the little one between our legs.

Skippy, what a silly diatribe ! "the beauty of country could be spoiled by sex-tourism"

Dude, i've never heard something more ridiculous. lol

The DOZENS THOUSANDS (or maybe hundreds thousands) whorehouses throughout Colombia, Venezuela, Peru or Brasil are filled daily at 99% by LOCALS. So a few hundreds or thousands of gringos are taking advantage of this immense sex industry. And what ?

As Rubazio says, if you can't deal with the fact that in South America, mongering is for locals a CULTURE (I'd even say THE national sport because football), you'd better go back to Utah or maybe live in Iran or Somalia.

How can a guy live in Colombia during one and half year without even BEGIN to understand the local habits ?

Give us a break son. There was already thousands of brothels in Colombia looooong before you were born.

I have never cheated on wife an wont but I have put myself in alot of bad situations when I was in my early thirties. An it never changes man if you have good fun personality an you buy a few drinks for some hotty any guy can go into a decent bar an leave with a decent looking women. Girls want to have a good time it never changes they want to laugh with somebody , dance with somebody an your just coping out man. Your in your 40-50's an probaly make a decent living buy some drinks in a classy way start up a converstion after you send the drinks. Your not out dates when my grandfather was 64 maried a 34 year old ,my dad is 61 he just married for the third time to 36 year old girl . So you can do it as well.

You can see them on the plane Everytime you get on a plane to Colombia, you can see the people going for business, the people going home, real tourists, and the sleazy old men who are traveling to get laid. I just hope that Colombia doesn't become another Brazil or Thailand, because this is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world both culturally and geographically. The sex trade is everywhere, and it's hard to avoid, but when it becomes the number one tourist attraction then we have problems. A way to fight this is for workers rights and fair wages in Colombia.

They also seemed to know their own mind very well. It was nothing like PBH geezers.

A Nice Massage I tested the waters in Medellín and was always respectful in how I handled myself. There are plenty of massage parlors downtown where you don't have to harrass girls on the street. You go in, you have a nice massage and you leave. Every one is happy. And it's entirely legal. The main thing is, be nice and don't act like a pig. Also, bring a nice gift like some perfume or a bracelet. That'll get you an extra nice massage. In my book this is perfectly fine and I noticed that most of the clientele were Colombianos, not gringos. We all need the same thing.

"The culture here is very promiscuous." I may have been guilty of generalizing here by saying "the culture" as I do have a swingers club and my cross section of the population that I know is promicuous in an extreem way, but.....

It seems that everyone I know has some little bit of action on the side. The few odd hundreds of girls I know in the biz, plus the 90% that I dont know, have, and I'm guessing here, but I would say it is over a million clients collectively in a year. Then we have the women that are not in the biz.....

Then of course, I am only thinking about Medellin here.

So overall to me, in the 4 years I have been in Medellin, I have formed a opinion of a very promiscuous culture here.

this reminds me "So overall to me, in the 4 years I have been in Medellin, I have formed a opinion of a very promiscuous culture here." Medellin "viking"

of a very old story about Mahatma Gandhi's goat....

I have lived in Cali for a very long time (12 years) and visited the city often after that for several months at a time, the last time I was there was just this winter and I don't think Cali is a very promiscuous city. We probablu don't visit the same type of establishments...

Cheers,

mcraig You always pay for it, even you say that you have to buy a few drinks, who pays for the meal, who pay for the taxi etc etc, nearly always the guy occasionally a girl might put some money in, but guys are nearly always the one paying the bills.

I think only once in my life I haven´t paid for it, because I chatted a girl up just as a club was closing and she only lived a few blocks away, so there was no drinks or taxi to pay for, my lucky night.

Viking followup your statement of;

It seems that everyone I know has some little bit of action on the side. The few odd hundreds of girls I know in the biz, plus the 90% that I dont know, have, and I'm guessing here, but I would say it is over a million clients collectively in a year. Then we have the women that are not in the biz.....

can i assume that you are talking about just Medellin here when you mention knowing hundreds of girls in the biz? and of the 90% of the girls you don't know, are you inferring they have a clientele or some sort of multiple novio system that benefits them in a monetary way? so as i understand it, there are several hundred if not a few thousand women here in Medellin that are directly or indirectly gaining benefit from being promiscous? promiscuity for profit.

does that mean that there is a real high average of women 18-35 here in Medellin that are players or professionals? that average might be as high as 50%?

A special thanks to the person who told me that my post was stupid and my comments ridiculous. Very constructive. It's no wonder people stop writing after only a couple of times.

I will continue to post because I love Colombia and i love talking about Colombia.

tejasmarcos Probably 50-75% of unmarried girls in Medellin are players for money, El Tiempo put the figure at 50%, but I believe that is an under estimate.

tejasmarcos says on Jul 22, 2006, 11:25:

wow that is kinda staggering when you think about it. el tiempo did a story on the subject? i would love to get a link from that article. i'm starting to think i am too conservative for 50-75% of this town.

makes me a little nervous dating a bombshell colombiana. she catches quite a bit of attention, especially when she dances. many men approach her for photos and the other night a professional group was filming for something or another and she got quite a bit of film time with her sexy girations. that whole hip, shaky, shaky thing, ya know? i've seen other local women dancing and i'd have to say that mi chica is a top 10 percenter.

to think that there is that much motivation to stray is enough to make you a little paranoid and i'm not the paranoid type.

think i'm gonna have to start taking lessons on how to become more liberal in this town. 4-6 pilsens a day should do it.

this is a good thread. way to start an eye opener skippy.

i mean, i know the same thing happens in the US, but not with the same overtones as here. the young girls in the US are "just having fun" and although like rich boyfriends, prefer dating around for the shopping aspect of finding the "perfect guy". seems as though alot of the girls her go through the same motions here but with the intent of profiteering along the way, even if she has already found her "perfect guy".

i'm sure there are some socio economic differences here amongst those from well to do families vs. the less fortunate girls? or is promiscuous opportunity equal opportunity?

morphus the concensus i get after only being here 5 months is that Colombians think ALL gringos are rich. although they couldn't be more wrong in my case(in my mind anyways. i have an idea of what i think rich is), poor for me is still very confortable for the majority of them.

Desideria (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Jul 22, 2006, 16:18:

this seems to go in circles I don't understand what's the need to be putting this negative stigma on Colombian women, First it was the pereiranas, then the caleñas and lately it's been a lot of bs about the paisas.

It's just a handful of Sex Mongrels, predominantly from Gringolandia that are doing it, but they are very loud. It's like the National Enquirer: only the negative and scandalous is worth talking about.

So, like when I say that at least in Cali I haven't seen this predominatly promiscuous "culture" so people just ignore me and continue talking about percentages of the female population that are prostitutes in Medellin...but this is the kind of people we're talking here with. They are not interested in Colombia at all, only to pursue their own low-life interests...

desideria with all due respect from a polite, educated and very civilized gringo from gringolandia, it is nothing more than an inquisitive look into this very new and unique culture representative of medellin. no generalizations, no negativity, just discussion of supposed facts.

i for one am very interested in Colombia. all aspects of Colombia. it is the reason i set up camp here.

sounds like to me if the local newspaper is going to run a story about these type of statistics, they are going to conduct a fair amount of due diligence in preparation of the story.

i am just trying to embrace my uniqueness here, with eyes WIDE OPEN..........

Desideria (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Jul 22, 2006, 17:31:

well, thank you tejas for a response that's to the point.
First of all, there isn't any unique, new and representative culture of Medellín, it only exists in the fantasies of a few gringos that don´t share your mindset and interest. They are just interested of making money on the pitiful condition of economically deprived young Colombianas.

If you are interested in Colombia do visit the country (I suppose you already speak Spanish) and take a look yourself. You don't find this promiscuous culture there unless you especially look for it.That kind of "promiscuous culture" can be found anywhere for the people who pursue these interests.

MedellinViking says on Jul 23, 2006, 04:37:

Follow up for Medellin Viking to Tejasmarcos and all While it is true that El Tiempo did a story and estimated it at around 50% of the female population that is open to short term dating. From my experiences I tend to side with CTG BOUND that this could be slightly underestimated. To test a cross section of the university students just sign up for a class. Gather your data on availability for "dating with a kickback." My dentist (about 40) openly told me she wants a date with my friend (61, but wins in senior olympics and living here) in the waiting room. I assured her that descretion is the majority part of my valor, and the drill doesn't even figure into it. My barber, (stylist) never misses a chance to ask me about my schedule of upcoming gringo visits, just to remind me of her availibility, except of course when I see her on the streets of Sabaneta with her husband

In Exito and Carefour I regularly get chatted up and..... a hint here for when you are in the store or mall, it is best if one person breaks the ice by saying something like "my friend here think you are really beautiful but his Spanish is so bad he is embarrassed to ask you out for a drink. Look at him blush right now! He knows I'm talking bad about him." As corny as it sounds this diffusing of the situation from a direct approach, well.........

2 things in favor of the gals for taking a chance on the Gringo,
-A better chance of escaping your current life
-A history of Courteous, Respectful Treatment with better benefits.

Now there are posts here that talk about how bad the Gringo's conduct is in public, showing off, boisterious comments ect. but if even these buffoons manage to get a date they are usually very courteous in private. You will never know it from their tales of conquest but the girl will tell you how kind and gental they were. I've heard it a bunch of times.... from the gals..... after enduring the tale of conquest!

Now transitioning from a beer at the mall to a night of dancing and horizontal bop is one thing, to get them into the full scene of a swingers club like Cuchicheos(.com) in Sabaneta/Medellin is quite another. Haven't seen the the story in El Tiempo/El Colombiano on the percentages on that one yet!

Well I might have lied above just a bit.... my 61 year old friend, as incredibly fit as he is, sometimes comes in 2nd or 3rd depending on the event in the USA senior Olympics.

tejasmarcos It might of been on the web, but I only saw it in the paper, I think it has been mentioned on PBH a few times.

Although many of the girls are poor, many have money, they just don´t have enough to live their lifestyles and take the easier option to get the money, most of the girls working do not stand on street corners, but are recomended by others and their phone numbers etc passed around. For every steet walker there are thousands that are not.

He looks stupid and I would never go out with him She actually said it to herself with conviction. No attraction at all. Then minutes later she met a friend who had a really cool new purse with matching boots from Bon Bonite. In the bathroom curiousity got the best of her and questions were asked. How did you start- A friend of mine told me what she was doing, then invited me along one night as her backup for a new client, then referred a gentlemen to me one night when she was busy. Weren't you nervous? It help if you watch first. You should come with me just to check it out. And watch porn, guys just love it when you take the initiative and are adventurous. Also I learned from my friend, if you really try to pleasure yourself, the guy is more into it and faster. How do you get more clients? Guys talk. They just buy you stuff? Just ask, you never really know their limit and always have your bills like cellular and utilities in your purse. Has to be paid if they want to call you!

Paraphrased from a short conversation I was privvy to. And by the way, now the newby has Ola and Comcell cellular service. And about 8 purses with shoes to match.

I also agree with the above statements made by Desi, and I say don't go to Colombia in search of inquisitive sex because otherwise you are going to end up dead.
Reasons are several:
1. Colombians are already aware of these subliminal reasons instigated by some foreigners visiting Colombia
2. Many of these chicas work with criminal bosses or sicarios
3. AIDS is also aware of your intentions and it is waiting for you!

Men always pay for it be it direct or indirect......
I've payed for it when I was young and I'll pay for it when I'm old.
And I don't have any quams or illuions to the contrary.

Older women most always hate older guy's with young women.
Why is that ??????? I wonder ????/

Monpirri I really didn't understand that post. I tried translating it into Spanish but that didn't help :P

But just so you know, the USA has a higher % of its population HIV positive than does Colombia, and in general has a higher STD prevalency rate. That's one of the reasons I think prostitution should be legal, it cuts down on disease!!

Neo, I totally agree with ya, if women weren’t so damn choosy none of us would have to pay for it. I don’t see any harm with 70 year old guys dating 18 year old chicks. What’s the big freaking deal? You guys have no idea how many times I’ve been turned down by broads in Colombia, all while insulting me and I’m talking excruciating hurtful things. I even thought about doing a Michel Jackson, changing my appearance completely. All I need to do is bleach my skin white and cut off all my hair which is a dead give away. Injun hair in Colombia don’t fly with the middle class broads.
In my case, is not so much an age issue is more a racial and class thing cause I’ve seen plenty of pasty ass old and young modefoques with super hot Colombians. For me, Colombia is the worst place to get freebies, so whatta I do? Pay for it!
Lately I’ve been getting plenty attention from older gringa women, 70+. This weekend I got hit on by 3, the youngest was 68 but the one I found most sexy was a 73 year old. Is amazing how many lonely widows are in dire need of middle age corronchos.

I'll get there, when I get there!
