Oh how I wish that the "monger tourist" was anywhere close to as big a percentage of the total tourism (Numbers or dollars) as many guys, especially here on CRT, think it is!!!!!!!Guys come here to monger and almost never leave the gulch, they see a lot of other mongers, are bored during the day because there is little to do in SJ (that they are interested in), and they see very few other tourists so therefore "Mongers make up a BIG percentage of the tourist industry here!!

While on the subject of #s: Many guys can often be heard to say "In CR every chica (or almost) is at some point a prostitute", it is just a way of life in CR!! And their families and boyfriends all know what they (these chicas) are doing!"

Just a couple of figures related to these MISCONCEPTIONS. During the peak years (2005-08) there were approximately 50,000 hotel rooms in CR of which there were NEVER MORE THAN 500 ROOMS THAT CATERED TO MONGERS!! THAT IS 1 (ONE)%!!!!! Today there are even more hotel rooms but fewer that cater to mongers. The "best" estimates both private and government say that the average tourist family and/or fisherman tourist will spend almost double what the average monger spends in a week here. I personally am very confidant that at least with the fishermen, this is very true!!!

As for the "All Ticas are at some point a puta" stupidity: There are approximately one million females between the ages of 18 and 40 (the age of most prostitutes here). Every estimate I have ever heard puts the number of working prostitutes during the peak years at between 4 and 5 thousand. That is 1/2 of one percent of all females working as prostitutes at any given time. Using the estimate that the average prostitute works for 5 years that would mean that between 2 and 3 percent of ALL the females will work as prostitutes at some point!!! And that is not even taking into consideration that an estimated 30-35% at any give time are from other countries and not even Ticas! Oh, and one other point- Ticos (locals) account for way, way more than 50% of the business these chicas get. I personally doubt that "tourist mongers" account for even 25% of the total business these 4-5000 prostitutes get.

The truth of the matter is, tourist mongering is such a small part of the tourist industry (Last government estimate I heard was 2- 2 1/2 % of the total TOURIST dollar) that outside of the relatively few people directly involved in the sex industry, Ticos could care less if it (tourist mongering) just went away. Infact, MANY, MANY TICOS WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT JUST DISAPPEAR!!! Oh but they do not want prostitution to go away, just the tourist mongers!

this is the only site i post where it seems people don't actually read what guys write
just skim it, make assumptions, and run their opinion
i was trying to make the point that CD hasn't been the reason the gulch has sputtered (if you think it has)

"i think it would be generous to say guys who read, follow CRT and the like, represent 25% of the tourists
for sure the numbers of those guys coming to CR have fallen and im sure some of that is because of that douche"

even IF it WAS that high it still couldn't begin to explain the lack or decline of mongers ok?
all i was saying geez

I moved from Ft lauderdale to Port St Lucie, 100 miles north, north of Palm Beach, it's a sleepy retiree n redneck town, safe, low traffic, inexpensive. When I was younger, Ft. Lauderdale was the place to be, good jobs, money to be made, lots of things to do, big city, plenty of beautiful women, name your poison, it was here.

Now that I'm semi-retired, I see Ft. Lauderdale as a busy expensive crowded place to live, if you're not wealthy there it's stressful. Back in the day, you could be middle class and have a ball, that's sadly all gone now.

To each his own, I still like the San Jose area, you can live comfortably on a retiree fixed income, the weather's great, still plenty of things to do, still plenty of great poonage for $50 to $100 a session. I still view Jaco as a sh*t hole, if it were not for Cocal, why would anyone go there? It's hot n sticky, you need air conditioning, it's not as easy as San Jose to get around without a car, it's basically a boring dirty little town.

As long as Cocal exists, it's worth visiting, but if I'm serious about a visiting a nice beach, it's not my choice by a long shot, I've heard some very good things about some southern Pacific beach towns in Nicaragua and N American owned hotels n bars, hope to check some out one day. Anyone been ?

Just got back last night -

SL - hit and miss. Sometimes 15 gals sometimes 40 on four nights I dropped in. All shapes and sizes. Mostly pros, but a few diamonds in the rough (semi pros). Many chicas turnover too. So actual total chicas seen is higher. Daytime quieter for sure.

I did, by total chance, pull out a 24 year old nursing student that refuses to work HDR. She was amazing in bed and also in conversation. She is on my top 10 list for sure my buddies were all happy with the chicas they pulled from SL.

HDR - lots of chicas there. I pulled 2 out on different days and times and both were seasoned pros with banging bodies and both disappointed for various reasons (my fault). I saw this tall young pretty Nica, and by the time I Circled - three Japanese guys scooped her up....I was so busy with calling previous favoritas, I did not spend much time in HDR. Just the 2 times I mentioned for quick pulls. I am sure had I spent more time at HDR, I could have found what I was looking for.

MPs - saw many doable chicas of all ages, shapes, sizes and partook at Zona and Relax. Basic service. Nothing to write home about. I was content. If you don't speak Spanish and are fearful of negotiating with Chicas - MPs are simple and easy.

Jaco/Cocal - in the words of my wingman, "There is no place like it on earth!"

I was there 5 nights including Sunday and Monday and the Cocal did not disappoint. It truly is an unbelievable place. Yes, there are older chicas and fat chicas too. But there were a couple 10s, several 9s, many 8s. YMMV

Here is a similar thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=50417

For all of us that read the forum or have been lucky enough to Visit CR for 10 plus years ,
Yes, things have changed over the years. And there are times I even tell myself, I am not going back to CR. But my wingman had a damn good point about the Cocal Frog Bar - There is no place like the Cocal on this Earth!

Of course, next month or next year it could all change. Isn't that why we are members of this board so we can keep abreast of the changes and maximize our experience.

I sat at the Frog Bar each day/night a minimum of 4 hours. It's a blast. Just thinking about the scene will keep me coming back! Are there other countries with bars that are equal or better... Of course. And I would highly recommend to all my fellow enthusiast to visit Thailand for Songkran and get the free layover in the Philippines...Or Go to Oktoberfest and check out the many fabulous Eastern European brothels.

To end on a positive note, the weather is cool in CR/Jaco, the chicas are all very hungry for business (desperate), and it is a buyers market for sure as we head towards Christmas!

Dude, if you anywhere on west coast I’d highly recommend Tijuana Mexico. Hong Kong Club specifically. I sound like a broken record, but it is easy access, cheap, and 8-10’s every night bro. It’s pretty close to paradise and I’m overdue for a trip! Lol.

There are other great things about hobbying in TJ. With a little research, you can get fantastic, GFE *******, two hours for $150. A bit more than San Jose, but not a ton for a short trip. Hong Kong does have one of the highest concentrations of hot chicas available I have seen, Asia, Latin America, or Europe. Wow. Great for guys who like in house service.

If your a foodie, it cannot be beat. Some of the high end restaurants in the Zona Rio are developing reputations internationally. And the street food and bars are fun as hell (non monger oriented).

With care, its a great time.

I'm 63 now so...in the words of Prez Bush 1 (or was it Dana Carvey?) "Gotta be prudent"...But I lived there in Newport Beach, south of L.A. from around 1989 to1993, I was mid to late 30's. Me and my friends were gym rats but not pros, but we would shoot down to Tijuana for weekends.

A local pharmacy provided real legal doctor reviewed and controlled specific for you steroids. It was not "seedy" it was very professional and many well off Mexicans who were gym rats were there. it was safe...but effective...
We would take them and work out at a cool outdoor open aired gym along side of it for 2 and 3 hour sessions.

Surprisingly, even though we got our senoritas, that was the main reason for our trips. I forgot the place we frequented or the hotel. It was a dumpy gated and barb wired deal with security, and it was alongside this warehouse off a street off the main drag. We would walk from one gated complex (the hotel for gringos) to the fence, there was one gate maintained by a guard, next to the next gated warehouse (the brothel for gringos).

We would then walk up a metal gangplank to the second floor, a Seniorita was in charge, a couple guards hanging around. The girls, almost everyone, young and beautiful, none spoke English, just sitting in little plastic chairs in a row, usually always about 10 or more, they would all look at you and try to lure you in with their eyes and their smiles, and some occasional wiggles or pushing up of breasteses, but they weren't allowed to talk to us or get up. They didn't want you to take more than 5 minutes or so to decide, and there wasn't any need to, there always was plenty of hotties, the problem was choosing which one, no bad choices...

You were allowed to take them to the hotel for 2 or 3 hour sessions for more pesos, but no more than that and def no overnighters, and no 2 at a time either for some unexplained reason at the hotel, but ok in their rooms. They had strict control of that business, wouldn't be tolerated in CR.

Anyway, I digress, the point was when we started doing this, and it was several weekends a month over a 6 month period, we packed on the muscle and the pounds, lost fat and strutted around like we were kings of the world, regular L.A. normal non working girls we met at nightclubs were all over us, and everyone who knew us knew something was going on, we told people we were on a protein powder only diet and worked out 3 hours a day, some people weren't buying it.

There's a downside to 'roids...even though you feel and look fantastic...you're irritable. You're irritable and short with everyone and you just don't give a sh*t. You could pick up girls like crazy but forget second dates...It was a miracle I wasn't fired...

I had a strict boss at the time who kept the other sales guys on a short leash, I did what I wanted because roids make you feel like you're the greatest and you're not afraid of anything, even getting fired...besides, the roids gives you so much confidence I was actually the top money maker in my company and my boss was beginning to hate me but his bosses said leave him alone, he's doing better than any 2 of your guys...

You get arrogant, too. I remember our men's room door was accidentally locked one Saturday we had to work, and I'm already pissed about that, it was scheduled to be repaired Monday, it was a thin indoor wood door, the real light balsa wood cheap office door, the whole door was being replaced with a thicker heavier door with a newer lock.

So working on a Saturday, and having to take the stairwell down a flight to go to the bathroom. Some guys were trying to jimmy the door open, I had to take a hard ass piss...I walked over to the door, punched a hole right through it (these type of doors are actually not hard to do that to) grabbed the doorknob from the inside and ripped it right out, calmly handing it to a co-worker saying "hold this!!!" as I went in to pee...I still remember his face...

In any event, it was a thrill for young guys, we decided we had to stop, we read about all the dangerous potential long term side effects, and we realized our behavior was getting attention and it could not be contained, but damn we looked and felt great!!!

After we quit, we kept working out but lost size, but still remained fit, but we got girlfriends who would tolerate us and we kept our jobs and that little voyage into the twilight zone is now but a distant memory...
