1,000 prostitutes spook Sosua?s tourism

[Dark_Scorpion]

Correction: Dominican women need to start using contraception, so there would be no need
for unwanted, illegitimate kids. It's more the fault of these women than the men. The
fathers' many times have never lived under the same roof with these women. Many of these
children are the products of a one night stand.

My goodness woman, this is one of the best posts I've ever seen from you! I couldn't have said it better myself! I used to not believe in Eugenics but as I get older my views are changing! In the DR morons keep breeding morons, no wonder the country doesn't get ahead! I mean a woman has to be one stupid **** to become pregnant from a one night stand. She is allowing this dude to get her pregnant with no assurances that she or the kids would be cared for, are you kidding me? That is borderline retardation.

I think many of the DR's biggest problems would be solved if the locals simply reduced their breeding. This is already a jam packed island of 9 million+ crammed into what, about 18,000 square miles? Increasing the population density on an island that already has water shortages doesn't bode well for the future. And when you throw in having Haiti as a neighbor in the mix, prudent men such as myself begin researching backup destination if/when this country goes belly up!

i can imagine the appeal, especially for american and canadian tourists: short flight, cheap, hot, lots of booze and they already new few words in spanish from cartoons about speedy gonzalez. what's not to like? the fall of sosua is not in hos, we talked about it many times.

A lot of Dominican men go to Sosua for the same product, it's not just the foreign tourists, - just observe the crowd in Pedro Clisante's venues, especially near the closing time. Take away all the tourists, Sosua will still be the sex capital of DR.

I don t go with prostitutes i am happy maried. If prostitutes had to go from this area i feel that i shall leave that country because they are my friends and i love them . Pedro clisante is great and better than to see a lot of churches. sorry for my primitives views amigos.

You are right on the mark. Sosua had it's days in the 70's it's over. These sad folks that think they can turn the clock back are delusional fools. Sosua will never be a family location by tourists. It's beach is mediocre as are the majority of it's restaurants. They have failed abysmally to keep up with the times and now they are seeking to remove the only sector that keeps the place afloat. The retired division count every peso, the last of the big spenders?

I would venture the thinking behind this "new" thinking is real estate values and that is to permit people to exit without losing their proverbial shirts. Sosua has always been for the economically disadvantaged.

Punta Cana puts the place to shame.

Can't turn back the time, who in their right mind would choose Sosua over Punta Cana as a tropical beach destination, today? I can see it as a good retirement community maybe, but as a tourist destination? - that ship has sailed...

back, back, back. have you watched you copy of buttman and throbbin' too often? there is also forward! sosua will never be what it once was but it does not mean there is no future for it. things can change. before the tourism it was a thriving rural community. with all the money pumped into agriculture again it could have new, different purpose.

Try getting rid of the root problem first.

As long as ADA's are killed for looking into drug cases, as long as Leonel's jefe de security parks his narcocopter next to Airforce 1, as long as the DNCD is headed by narco's... who are at least partly paid in product by the cartels; you will get a large fall-out on any social level. That includes prostitution.

So as long as you see the local vice-mayor opening up body-shops left, right and center.... don't think for a minute that Ilena is any more than window-dressing... mucho spume, poco leche is the DR way...

Then of course the total BS numbers - 1000 workers of which only 10 are POP province residents (would that include the sizeable Haitian populations in Montellano and POP)... classic example of us vs them thinking...

Out to Pasture

Not much, from what I've seen. The adult entertainment is the best thing it has going, and some want to see that disappear. I wonder, if they did, what they would replace it with?

Well,
Some would walk their horses to the pasture and desperately try to rent their three units.
In the afternoon they would stimulate the economy and have a coffee and cheesecake, which of course at the moment is not safe to do.

1000 prostitutes in Sosua ? Must be during the year.

Dominicans have greatly reduced the number of kids they are having and are now at about 2.5 kids per woman. It would prob be lower if more birth control options was available. Given that a single dose of Depo Provera can prevent pregnancy for three months, unwanted pregnancies should be easily preventable. Tubal ligation isn't legal in the DR unless a woman is thought not able to bring a pregnancy to term. The aversion to condoms is helping either...

Gapminder World

Haiti is far worse off with about the same population on much less land and far less production in food. They are still at over 3 children per woman.

Yeah, part of the problem is during tourist season, most of the girls are coming up from SD and then taking the tourist money away with them when they go back or send it to their families. If the sex trade money stayed in town there would prob be less resentment.

 

[Uzin]

This argument always goes on about Sosua and the girls. Look at a few other places, one example is Pattaya in Thailand, the biggest sex capital of the world, and NOW also the biggest tourist destination for families, couples, young and old.

So it doesn't have to be one or the other, if the infrastructure is provided and is done properly with solid government backing and commitment, all is possible. But Sosua is not even on anyone's radar further up the chain, just a few authorities down below in the system looking for excuses ... !

As others mentioned, other places in DR have higher priorities right now (but that could change in the future, who knows).

i've said this a 100 times; sosua is heading down the same road as boca chica......

 

[drescape24]

funny you should mention hand held computers. Many of these Chicas get more done with a Blackberry than the typical American office worker on their desktop PC. Between texting and operating on a few social networking sites some of these Women are virtual air traffic controllers, managing the comings and goings of their Western Union Novios with great precision. The number of Guys from the US and Canada whose movements are manipulated by these Women will never cease to amaze me and every once in awhile one will hit the Gringo Lotto and wedding bells will be heard, lawyers will get paid and USCIS will have another customer.

I'd like to see one of these Womens' advocate groups take the common sense approach and unionize these workers, providing education and family planning assistance as well as helping them with goal strategies which include savings strategies, continuing education and basic education for their families. As long as these Women are in the position to follow their particular discipline of the health care industry they should be treated like health care professionals. They are providing a form of physical therapy, the oldest form of physical therapy.

A hookers union! Hahaa I have heard it all now! Could you imagine ..hooker says to client " sorry that's not in my contract! ".." I can't do that, I am only at apprentice level"...." sorry its time for my break " imagine trying to get them to go on a strike!!! Hahaha .....but ,why do some people have to be governed like sheep? Free will!

a most brilliant gem of insight!!!

10% are local girls, hm well that maybe explains why so many girls are working as "modela" in SD.

The virgins from north goes south where less familymembers sees their nightshift- and the virgins from the south comes here to do their modeling...

Is that what they say they are, models? A lightbulb just went off in my head.

We have a niece in SD who is about 20 now, studying law. She is tall with a perfect figure. At a family gathering, she came in with her brothers and parents, greeted us each individually with hugs and kisses. I told her how nice she looked, that she could be a model. Her father, Mr. AE's brother, reacted immediately and snapped at me that she wasn't going to be a model, she was going to be a lawyer. Later I asked my husband why he reacted that way, that I thought it was a compliment, and he didn't know. Of course, he hasn't lived in DR for almost 40 years. Now I understand that my BIL probably took it as an insult. After all these years, I'm still learning.
