That might be what he says, but nobody in the barrio is buying that either.

"Dominicans are notoriously lazy....:" I'm glad someone finally said it. I adore them, but that's also my observation after having lived here for four years.
One of my friends said yesterday that the problem is that he wakes up early and "siempre tengo un sueño encima" (I always have a dream left over), so he needs to go back in the day and finish it off. And that's why he has to have a little nap quite frequently.
I do think we can learn a lot from their attitude, way calmer and less stressed.
His mother is no judge. If she were, you probably would have already been arrested. They're just trying to intimidate you. And hey, posing with beer bottles doesn't mean he's an adult, since minors drinking is not a big deal here.
I don't understand. If you gay you are gay. You could also be bi but that still makes you gay. Whether you do it for money, amusement, lust on a bet or whatever other reason floats your boat, gay is gay.
Agreed, gay is gay but this isn't the real issue. The irresponsibility of the OP to casually engage in illegal activities is the real issue. If it were a heterosexual encounter it would be equally offensive and most importantly illegal. Engaging sexually with young people without verifying age is just dumb and again illegal.
It's called public discourse. Interacting and sharing ideas with others is enjoyable, as you said, entertaining. You could choose to ignore this thread but you don't because you are enjoying the various comments. Don't be a hypocrite, sit back read, relax, you might pickup a new thing or two; goodness it might even be entertaining.
Put me back on ignore. You haven't seemed to grow much intelligence since we last talkedIs it? Are you an expert? The LGBTQ2+ community would challenge that
It's the most amusing thread on DR 1 this weekend. I'm still kinda surprised that with this topic it hasn't been shut down yet.
It's far more amusing and entertaining than the Corales golf tournament
True indeed.
Can't say I was shocked when the English speaking press along with the who's who of the
DR "elites" claimed that it's the most important week of the year. Talk about being out of
touch with Dominican culture SMH....
And no one even received a Citation or Ban for going off topic and mouthing off to the Mods .
its quite amazing actually .
He tried to check the young man's age, and asked to see a copy of his ID to verify it. Anyone who lives here knows that no ID is a red flag, but the OP doesn't live here. And before sex, the young man claimed to be over age.
I'm pretty certain that in the US, if a person claimed in writing to be over age and someone took steps to see ID before they had sex with them, this would be a valid defence. I think for sure it is in the UK.
You've obviously never walked down the Conde in the Colonial Zone late at night and seen the hundreds of young men out to "buscar dinero". The fact that they have gay sex with tourists for money does not make them gay. Dominicans refer to them as bugarrones. They are exactly the same as the chicas who sleep with ugly old men, they don't enjoy it but do it to get cash. For a lot of young men, the lure of RD$ 5000 for an hour of displeasure is enough.
This is a life changing event. Would you leave it up to chance of hearsay? It is called due diligence for a reason. The OP may try to excuse himself claiming he tried but in what could potentially deprive him of his freedom, he should have invested more effort. Besides ignorance or any other excuse does not absolve him of legal consequences.
Perhaps and depending on the judge it might fly but again would you play russian roulette with your freedom and your future for a paltry one night stand?
I'm just trying to put the other side of the story. He said:
"we've been chatting for a year.
I asked him many, many times, before meeting up, how old he was, because I like to be careful
And to this question, he always replied that he was 19. I have been asking him his cedula as proof of age
Apart from seeing the missing ID card, what more could he have been expected to do? Come on, we all know how many times a day you see an older tourist with a younger chica or chico, it's pretty much how things roll in this country. Those of us who live here would smell a rat if the ID wasn't produced, but this guy is a tourist, he doesn't understand how cedulas work. And he's probably from a country where it would be more unusual for a young boy's mother to jump on the blackmail bus.
I was there last weekend with my wife and some friends, never saw the gay prostitutes.
If a guy accepts money to trade bodily fluids with another guy he is gay. If he does it for money then he is a gay prostitute. Same for the girls. If they accept money from the ugliest guy on earth that makes her a prostitute. If she does it with another woman that makes her a gay prostitute. (Or lesbian prostitute, I can't keep up with the terminology or acronyms)
Gay is gay whether there is money involved or not
