say no to sex tourism in colombia

[Awesome]

Like I said, pissing in the wind.


Prostitution is alive and very well all over north america, south america, europe, and asia.  Hell, the only place it's not legal or very tolerated is the middle east which happens to be the most f*cked up region on earth so what does that tell you?

The sexual abuse of underage girls is a very unfortunate aspect of prostitution in Latin America and Asia. But these crusades usually completely disregard the fact that a lot of grown women actually prefer that lifestyle. I'm sure everyone here has heard the stories about women that have had genuine opportunities to stop and they continue selling their bodies. People try to explain that behavior as a sort of mental illness but I'm starting to think some girls just really like sex and money. I've seen too many cases here of foreigners taking very good care of women and they still work as GDP's whenever the guys not in town.

[Elexpatriado]

I dont care how gorgeous the women is..you gotta have Zero self Respect and Zero Self esteem if you are having a "serious" relationship with a Puta. The worst thing a guy can be is a "Capitan Salva Puta" (Cap'n save a ho)

Yep...shameful but a lot more common than one might have ever thought. There are foreign men that come here, meet a girl on the P4P scene and eventually marry them.

More than that, there are some who have relationships with what they think are "normal" girls, when they are prepagos on the side.  In Colombia there are cases of TV personalities being high paid prepagos, flight attendants, bank tellers, etc., what you might think are "normal" girls.  Hell, EL EX has probably been with a few, who knows?  Not cracking on EL EX, it's just the reality of Colombia.

I doubt they like the sex with all those sleazy gross men, but you may be right about the money. And yes I do think many prostitutes are somewhat mentally ill.


Here is a video about prostitutes in Trujillo, Peru (one is Colombian). Those women look completely mentally messed up. I don't understand how anyone can find that appealing.

There have been tales of hookers with hearts of gold--movies like 'Pretty Woman" and the hilarious Eddie Murphy, Dan Akroid and Jamie Les Curtis in "Trading Places" and I've met guys who got involved with hookers--bar girls too.

But once you start selling your body, everything changes. Your body becomes a 'commodity' and you feel as it's desirable--something men want, that you're special. And they are--they can screw and not have any emotions get in the way. I'd guess that's pretty common--easy for most men, but unusual for women.

As has been said, even after (if)  they get married and no longer need the money, some still do it 'on the side' anyway. Maybe they get bored and feel like getting guys lined up to pay them based on their looks is good for their self esteem. It's really hard to tell why they continue to do it and how even if they don't go back, they know it's an option if things get rough, but I wouldn't recommend a guy getting too serious with someone who is (or has been) an outright hooker or even a bar girl for that matter. Old ways die hard....

Actually the most common cases I've heard of where guys were in "serious" relationships with prostitutes involved Colombians. I knew a girl who told me she had a friend who was a prosti and worked in a casa de citas. I asked her if her friend had a novio and if he knew. She said yes and yes and "es la realidad en Colombia..."

That's very true, and part of the culture.  If foreign "sex tourists" stopped going to Colombia, it would hardly put a dent into Colombian prostitution market.

[buencamino]

True. I wonder if Keith Stansell's asafata wife was a prepago.

[Gavan]

She said yes and yes and "es la realidad en Colombia..."

Pretty sad and messed up. Que pena. I do wonder why prostitution is so common in Colombia though. Even in other countries of South America like Peru and Chile a very high percentage of the prostitutes are Colombian.

Another reason to do a real thourough background check..

[Elexpatriado]

Heck..maybe I even Married one. ..but we should all learn from our mistakes and not do it again..

My ex in peru said that "all Colombian men and all Colombian women cheat, and all Peruvian men cheat, but Peruvian women dont cheat". I asked  " well then, with whom do the Peruvian men cheat?"..she replied "con las putas Colombianas que viven en Peru"

Jajaja well I think that is a little exaggerated. Most Peruanos cheat with Peruanas and there are plenty of Peruvian hookers as well. But yeah, it does seem like there are a LOT of Colombian putas in Peru.

Yep...that's my experience as well. Lots of girls in Colombia selling their bodies. Women you would have never thought of as hookers. I heard rumors of girls who were university students being part time prepagos during my stint as an English Tutor. It's actually very common amongst girls that are studying at universities if Mom and Dad aren't paying their way. It's always the sweet, quiet ones that do well in every class. Sheeeesh...


You can't get away from prostitutes in Rio unless you're the type of guy that just doesn't ever go out. It's not just the termas or the bars they are known to frequent. The really high end girls hang out in the best discos. It can be quite heartbreaking when some gorgeous girl is staring at you all night from the other end of the club, you finally walk up to her and buy her and drink ane start a nice conversation. Then when it's time to leave you ask what's next and she's throwing her hourly rate at you. I've even had one tell me I owed her money because she hung out with me all night and she lost the opportunity to leave with another guy that would have paid (even though she was drinking from my [snip]ing bottle all night!!!!). Like I had psychic powers, read her mind and knew she was on the job!    MAN SHE WAS PISSED when I laughed in her face after asking for money. Good thing I knew the door guy and the cops outside the club that night because she certainly tried to make a big deal out of it.

[Awesome]

Damn I never realized prostitution is that common in colombia.  I don't recall ever coming across any "prepagos" in my time spent down there.  But then again I don't think I come across as the type of guy who's looking for hookers.  All the women I hung out with didn't show any signs of prepagoish behavior at all.  Maybe I was lucky, who knows.  The one time I wandered into a "skank" hangout, Farenheit(calipro's favorite spot) I blanked out and I have no recollection of what the hell I did there.


Now I did spend quite a few wild drunk nights in some sleazy strip clubs but that's a totally different scene altogether.



I can say that I've spent alot of time in mexico and from my experiences it's not common at all for women to ask for money to sleep with them.  Hookers have their red light districts where it's understood what's going on, but outside of those designated districts sex for money is pretty much unheard of from what I've seen.  When I was about 23 years old I spent about 5 weeks in the city of zacatecas where I met a med school student/ballet dancer at a disco and we hit it off immediately.  We got our freak on the first night we met, she totally initiated it, and she was my novia the whole time I was in town.  I remember one time she didn't have money to buy minutes for her cell phone and I tried to give her 10 dollars to buy some minutes and she refused to accept it.  I had to argue with her just to get her to accept the money.  I remember telling my mom about her and how she was in her final year of med school and starting her internship as a cancer specialist.  My mom told me I was a fool for not marrying her.

[Elexpatriado]

LOL..the lady in the bar who wanted to charge you for lost clients in the bar sounds like a typical Canadian Lawyer..or health care administrator..or insurance company minion..

Regarding Colombian women being students or  industry professionals and prostitutes, Sure..these things happen..and are much more common than in the US or Europe..but you guys talk as if these girls where the majority of girls there..when in fact, they are the vast minority..probably less than 10% of the female population in Colombia has participated in this..still probably 10 times other countries, but still the minority. The problem is, all the Putas living in Colombia and all over the world give Colombia a bad reputation.


I found the worst place Ive been to for hookers was Cuba. They approach you within 5 minutes in a club and make an offer, in the airport, in the streets..but then , Ive never been to Thialand.




The Prostitutes' Education Network stated in its article "Prostitution in The United States - The Statistics," posted on its website (accessed Aug. 28, 2013):
"It is difficult to estimate the number of persons who currently work, or have ever worked as prostitutes for many reasons including the various definitions of prostitution. National arrest figures [in the United States] range over 100,000. The National Task Force on Prostitution suggests that over one million people in the US have worked as prostitutes in the United States, or about 1% of American women."

I have heard that the Dominican Republic also has a lot of prostitution, even more than Colombia. There are supposed to be certain places there where 90% or more of the women are hookers  I have never been to the DR, but that is what I have read online, I don't know if it is true.

Where did you read any poster even SLIGHTLY inferring that the majority of Colombian women were prostitutes?


You can by pass the quote feature since its a little difficult for you and just use a simple copy and paste at which you are very adept.

So EX EL, according to your statistics and theories above based on your rational deductions, approximately 10% of Colombian women are prostitutes.  Now, you have spent many years in Colombia dating and romancing Colombian women, I think it would be safe to say you have dated between 50-75 women.  If more please correct me if my assumption is wrong, but no BS since I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.  So based on your statistical analysis, you more than likely dated or maybe had sex with approximately 5-7.5 prepagos....cut it down with a reasonable margin of error, at least one or two.  Now, can you be SO sure that you haven't been with one.  If so, why?

[Elexpatriado]

Actually- you missed your chance, you could have called me "EXLAX"..ja.ja.

I dont know if its 10% , just a Wild ass Guess... who knows..just think in my opinion its not anywhere near the the majority of the general female population.


Just the way people are posting about how there are so many putas in Colombia, its good to remember that the vast majority of Colombianas dont and never have dabbled in prostitution,


What is your opinion, , what proportion of Colombian Women have prostituted in their lives?


I personally believe it is quite small. But thats just my humble opinion. Also, I said I have not Knowingly been with a prostitute. I havent been living with Colombianas I have met my whole life so, I really dont know. Your probably right, I have probably dated a few unknowingly. But you want to avoid marrying or have a serious relationship  girls with this type of past history, at least I wouldnt. Maybe I am being judgemental, so be it.

There is only one guy on this thread really pushing the point of view that there are a lot of putas in Colombia and plenty of interesadas in other threads.  Don't you realize when you are being trolled

[bernard]

Hey EX LAX,

quit modifying your posts AFTER I've responded to them....LMAO...you're a trip.
