I think everyone makes some great points but this quote seems to sum up the reality of it. It is basic economics. Anyone wants to really make a difference get some good paying jobs down to CR. My guess is it still will not change a thing or maybe less then 3% difference because these Chicas would have to behave in an organized responsible way. In my book that ain't going to happen easy. Most will choose to do like they have been doing. Prostitution is not only LEGAL down south but also a very well known & accepted way of life. It has been in their culture forever . Some will not admit to it but they start to like many aspects of this life. If one just handed them money for nothing they would end up worse than they are IMHO. It would be like our welfare system where we keep cranking out such wonderful specimens.

Many people are just not too smart period. Nothing will every change this but a major change in our ways. Why take one of their few options in life away from them. I don't like to see anyone forced to do anything they do not want to. I hate to see people used & abused including myself & would not willingly support that behavior.

What has been a learning experience for me is to see how happy some of these Latinas are after 10 years of using this option to there advantage. I wonder if they could say this if they sorted bananas for $4 per day for the last 10 years. Many Chicas are not happy with anything because they simply have mental problems period. Well for that matter many of the religious nuts that want to save this world while they burn witches out of their paranoia have deeper mental problems than everyone else . By the way these nuts see themselves as do-gooders !

I do know of some Latinas that are outcasts form their families & find their instant fix with the Gringos they meet who seem to think they are so perfect & wonderful . Everyone finds different things in everything . One thing I have learned with my travels to many places is Don't be so quick to judge since what we have been taught may not be the only or best way. Sit back & enjoy & learn. Some things are always wrong to me like someone that is a slave to another but I have never seen this in CR that I know of. I have seen marriages in the states where people were awful to each other I felt. Both the men & the women were equally abusive & enslaving toward each other yet they were avid church goers. They would think mongering is horrible yet I do not try to enslave anybody that I know of I just have fun while being respectful & do unto others, pay my dues & walk on. Oh well to each his own .

I don't know how people have the time to be so ugly about anything it just takes your time away from the truly good things life has to offer !

Many Costa Rican women make the decision to have sex for money so that they can pay the bills and so that they can provide their families with a better life, not to mention the fact that their Ch*ldren can then have enough food to eat and medical care and a decent place to live. Additionally, most of these women feel there is nothing wrong with making a living in this profession. Then here come the do-gooders trying to save these "victims". These women are not victims and do not consider themselves victims.

Leave them alone!

I can see it all now Posters of Vegas Bob at the airport with the subtitle " Would you want your 20yr old daughter with this Man"
Just say no to Prostitution

or who knows .....we could get Circus some print work too

VERY FUNNY ye OLE GREAT JAGGED ONE. Thanks for at least writing 20 instead of much less.

Actually, it isn't that many.

CR Population: 15-64 years: (male 1,359,750/female 1,329,346)

Of the 1.3 million, how many are at the HDR? What is at the HDR is just a very very very small percentage of the women in CR. Most women make it through life without selling their body - think outside the Gulch!



It is a huge fact that most girls who are hooking have been sexually abused as Ch*ldren so I'm not sure if that is considered "victim" in your book or not, but it is in my book.

By the time these girls get to the HDR, many have first been sexually abused my family member(s) and then boyfriends (we know how Ticos treat women) and so at the end of all the abuse (being a victim, taken advantage of), they feel completely worthless and so what goes on while working the HDR is not any worse than they have already encountered as a Ch*ld. Very sad indeed, because by the time they get to the HDR, no matter the front they put on for us Gringos, their heart have been hardened.

So, if there is one out there that truly wants to be saved, I'm glad there is an organization that is funded by the good ole United States of America to help her.

(1) So all the prostitutes in Costa Rica congregate at one hotel.

(2) How many women that rent their body in Costa Rica have been sexually abused? Some facts please.

Gentleman,during my next trip to CR in a few weeks,one of my stays will include Jaco. Has anyone seen any changes there in the P4P trade in re:to this discussion............thanks.......enjoy!

Hello..room service? Could you send up some (!) please!

What you say here is offensive to women who have reviewed their
options and made their choices. The working girl, whether in North
America or Latin America, does not want or need to
be "saved" by you and your ilk. The savior assumes the position of
superiority to the needs-to-be saved. What makes you so
superior?

The soul in danger here is yours: You hate yourself for seeing prostitutes.
Your guilt pain is self-inflicted, as in an unsuccessful suicide. Save
yourself. Be as consistent in your abstinence as the other guys here
are in their joy.

So those that have made a bad choice in life are stuck with it forever Toledoguy?

Have you ever made a choice and then back out of it? Have you ever had any help backing out of your choices? If yes, then shame on you, you should have lived it out to the end, no turning around in the middle of a choice Toledoguy. My point? Some choices are actually mistakes!

Toledoguy, I know they have made a choice and for those that want to stay in the business, fine, no problem. For those that WANT a helping hand out (as in reverse their CHOICE Toledoguy), I have no problem if an organization is there to help.

With all the negativity and turmoil in the world, I am surprised that anyone would complain about some do-gooders. Do-gooders, I'm not a do-gooder for the most part, but to me they are truly selfless people. Should I see them in another light? Next time I see a do-gooder, should I trip her up so she falls flat on her face and then kick her in the head? Then scream - Dirty rotten do-gooder! You bitch, go home! Hookers don't need your phucking help and the homeless could careless about the phucking soup. Now get up and go home! As she walks off, I'll yell, dumb ass, didn't you know it is offensive to help a hooker who WANTS out.

I dunno

Just on my own observations, I would say at least
75% of the girls at the HDR, etc. are victims,
and fall into one or more of the following;
They are victims because they cannot get a legal abortion.
They are victims because they are not receiving any type of
support (money) from the fathers of the Babi*s they are forced
to pop out.
They are victims of having to raise younger brothers and
sisters, because the father left the mother, or died, and the
mother can only get a job making $280 a month as a maid.
They are victims because they had to leave school before
they graduated, in order to support the family, since they
were the oldest.
Until these 'victims' can earn a living that will support
themselves and extended family, what else would you
expect them to do?
How are these victims going to be reached?
Who is going to provide Ch*ld care, food, clothes,
medical care, a place to live, while the victim is
being trained to earn enough money to support
herself and Ch*ldren? Keep in mind the low
wages in Costa Rica, which is a good reason
why a number of the girls that don't have Babi*s
live a home, they can't afford to live anywhere else.
Why not force the fathers to pay support for the
Ch*ldren they produce? Start at the source of one
of the main reasons these girls are victims.
ShyOne

Gee talk about sources of the problem- how about the Catholic church approve of birth control instead of condemning it, then the poor could break the cycle and not have so many K*ds and siblings to support.

The Catholic Church probably gets its fair share of our mongering Dollars .

It seems to me that what D2864 has posted is being taken some what out of context at least to me anyway. I do not see what is wrong with having help available for women that feel abused but on the same hand don't go tell them they are abused if they don't see it this way. Let them decide on their own to seek the help just let them know it is another option.We have this in the states for battered women that have been abused. We know it happens to more than just a few what's wrong with helping with an alternative option.

I don't think it is wise to walk in HDR and tell all these Latinas that they are victims of abuse because some I know of would laugh in your face at this thought. Many think they are taking advantage of us laughing all the way to the bank & can't believe how much we will spend to keep our dicks happy.
It varies from A to Z with these Chicas. Some hate it others don't.
Some have been abused like D2864 points out. I have seen some of these situations thru the years. The best some of these women have ever been treated is in HDR since at least they get paid & make a good living as long as they don't contract a fatal disease. Another way they are abused by their families is after they make this money many of their family members are manipulating them & use them to get it. Cruel world as we all know.

There are more women that will sell themselves than I could have every imagined in CR. Some just don't think having sex is a big deal like we do. I have found them everywhere down there & some did not want $$. Some even got mad when I tried to leave them a gift like I was trying to make them a puta, Who knows it is the mind of a woman?? I can tell you since we are talking #s that I have been with well over 2000 different ones in my life so far all by lonesome VB has me beat & probably many others but I bet we haven’t been with a handful of the same Chicas. This is no big feat for anyone but does cost some time & $$$$$$ thru the years. Whether anyone believes this or not doesn't really matter too me it is my ruff extrapolation of X number of trips times X amount of total days spent by X # of chicas on an average day. I am just one guy so I believe the # of Latinas on the take is huge there.

I feel like a real dumb-ass for spending all this money like I have thru the years. I know I had a good time or I would not have done it but I don't remember but a fraction of them. Sure sounds like a bad investment too me! I have had my ass handed to me by many of them. I have had many occasions of a Ticas coming up to me saying remember me & I don't ! This gets embarrassing for me at times. I don't know if it is true or they are screwing with me or really have screwed me .Who knows & cares but it shows you how weird it can get .

D2864 it is pretty easy for me to read true abuse in people. It shows up in all so many ways & I can tell you most I have been with did not show these signs & seemed very happy to be fooling around. Then again ones that I read as abnormal I stay away from. The selection is huge so why spend time with one you see something odd.

So many of the married Ticos fool around outside their marriage & many don't hide it very well from the wife since they run the show. Think about it what is the wife option here to find a better Tico when most do this or live on her own??? They tolerate it but they do like to use us to get even many times. It happens!

I do believe there is a great deal of abuse in CR as we would see it from our back ground. Many of them don't see it as bad as we do since they are more accustomed to this in a male dominated society. Let’s at least be honest about people in general. If someone can get away with using another they general as a rule do I believe. Many times people are not good on their own accord but only when the penalties are stiff enough they conform.

In the USA it use to be very similar years ago & now I believe what many of us do not like is the reverse discrimination that seems to have taken place. Now many women are abusive in a different way by taking us to the cleaners. It is just plain ugly now & more ulterior motives than ever.

When we are unwanted by women we see them as wicked. When we are loved by them we see them as heaven on Earth. Dumb people try to use force instead of intelligence & understanding to achieve what they want. Most of these people are never at peace or find happiness with in themselves.

It would seem logical too me to mind our own business unless asked different. It is their problem if they even see it this way so isn’t it better to let them solve it?
