I am as anti "cien" as anybody BUT!!! The idea that it is the cause of pu*sy prices going up in Costa is totally unfounded and just not the case.
The first time I came here almost 19 years ago(Feb. 1994), the Rey had just opened and chicas were asking $50-$75 but could be had for $40-50 most of the time There were a few who would not come off the $75. Sound familiar?? By 2005 most were asking "CIEN" but I still had no problem finding many who would go for $40-$50.
During this time inflation in Costa Rica was about 200% (in the states during the same time, about 60% so by either standard the price of pu*sy had gone way down. Since 2005 inflation in CR has been 120% and yet the price is still cien and chicas can still easily be had for $50-$60
Based on the amount of inflation here over the last 19 years, the price now with only increasing for inflation (no actual price increase) from the $50 figure should be about $350-$400!!!! Even using US inflation (no relation to the cost in CR) the price should be about $150!! Where has guys paying cien caused prices to go up??
No I do not, and never have, paid "Cien" but those that do should not be blamed for anything other than paying more than they had to, but as long as they are happy what concern is it of mine.!!
Even in the MPs, prices have gone up on average about 20% since 2005. Most were charging c14000 to c15000 in 1005. Today most are c16000 to c18000. With 120% inflation, the price today should be about c32000 ($65).
To pay "cien" or not is a fun and never ending subject here, but in reality it has no relationship to the price increases (or lack thereof)!!!

Cien is the amount of money assholes pay to get screwed in Costa Rica. It has, over the years, driven the price of pu*sy up for the True Mongers who want to keep the experience real. Luckily there is still a group who say "NO" to cien….
Yes, agreed - but what they ask (lets face it, at HDR, even the most "fuguly" asks cien) is not what guys w/ a clue pay <in almost every case>
Really, what they ask - and some dopes pay - really should not effect you - if they ask $100 (or more) and will not come off that price - they probably:
a) don't want to be with you
b) might not be all that great to begin with
c) are not going to 'screw you better' b/c they are "happier" with what they are getting
d) if they really don't want to be with you - and reluctantly go for less - you probably don't want to be with them
Its mostly - although not all - girls in the DelRey and KeyLargo who seem to be wedded to cien - lots of other places and I've long advocated for guys with a few trips to cultivate their own list of regulars and favorites to contact so you don't have to rely on the HDR and KL
