I'm going to SD towards the end if this month. Excited and going by myself. I'm gay and a lot of people so far on the forum have been telling me to be careful. Does SD have a high crime rate? Also are there any areas you suggest that as a tourist I avoid? Especially a gay tourist.

Yes, high crime rate. Yes be careful. On your own head if you're using rent boys. Keep yourself in check and you'll be fine. Act like a loud princess and you'll probably draw unwanted attention. It's not difficult, figure it out, just be a person, you seem to be concerned about hour sexuality ehich means you're intending to be obvious.
Let me tell you, bringing attention about yourself in SD or anywhere in DR is bad news whether you're gay or straight. Fly below the radar and have a nice time.

Didn't CCCCCCCCC tell you to just be yourself.
Stop saying you are happy all the time!!!!
I am not an expert on SD only been 10 or so times but the colonial zone is where you want to start out and I felt pretty safe, I was alone all hours of the morning walking around but aware of my surroundings.
Yes SD can be dangerous!! Don't have big sums of money on you and don't wear flashy clothes or jewelry!!
I would not suggest any friend of mine to do the gay pay for play in SD. Unless the dude has money I would forget about it!

Then you will be fine. Don't try too hard, everyone in DR is gay if you pay them enough.
Just head to Av. Rep?blica de Colombia 57
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Say Wally sent you.
In order to survive in the DR you need to understand a little of the culture, norms, etc....the do's and don'ts if you will.
While you do not indicate any level of understanding regarding life in the DR, you should know that it is NOT the same as where you may come from.
Going there alone, whether gay or straight, will be an eye opener.
I encourage you to read these boards....a wealth of information here on life and what to expect in general....especially as a tourist.
Finally, google or use the search function here for.....Van Teasley......and be careful.

Just like any American city, you need to use common sense. Late at night, use taxis. If you have a guest in your hotel room, agree on the "tip" in advance that he will receive and lock all valuables in your room safe. Also make a copy of your passport and carry it with you. The actual passport should be in your safe. Leave the gold at home, don't flaunt your I phone or adroid and dont flash money. Talk to some of the Americans living there or frequent visitors and they will inform you of the different venues depending on your personal tastes.
There's no "specific" place where you have to be more cautious than others. Sadly, you can get mugged pretty much everywhere here. Which means, just be smart. Don't go around flaunting the amount of money you're carrying, of course dark solitary places are an obvious no no.
It's sad but I saw tons of men with wives and Gfs and kids sleep with gay men at my hotel for money
