Default Adult Entertainment/Escorting work

If a young professional classy escort is looking for work in Puerta Plata, where should she go? Is escorting/prostitution legal, and where would I find out the laws? I have been in this business for a few years, and plan on buying a house in DR. I need a way to sustain myself while I am there, as I make thousands a month in US. What is the going rate there for a high-class girl? If anyone has name and contact info of someone who would partner with me, please send. Serious replies only please.

If you want a ubiquitous profession working as an escort in the DR is like carrying coals to Newcastle -there are tens of thousands of "legal" (tolerated) prostitutes.

I think the club/casa girls if like the capital cost less than RD$3000 (for suckers) and more like RD$1,500 for experienced attendees particualrly local businessmen, and of course the house keeps 1/2 or more, so your customers are paying about $50 US for the works and the girls are getting $25 of that.

I cannot imagine the demand for a non-local "escort" in the DR at all and if there was it couldn't be at "North American" prices, many hundreds of $ that is. There would be no need for men to pay that price even if you are working independently since you are competing with girls on the street that will accept RD$500 or less, e.g. $16 US. So your market is already fractured as many tourists will only pay street prices and the small remainder are going to casas and such with, what must seem to you, very small amounts.

I am sure you'd make thousands a month just pesos at 1/33rd the value of the US$.

You must be out of your mind. If you are making thousands of dollars a month in the US as a high class call girl work for a few more years and then give up the profession and retire in the DR.

Even and old fat dude like me can find your type of action in the DR for less than $50US for an all nighter. Remember you will be competing with some of the most beautiful women in the world who’s ages will range between 16 & 25. These women have no sexual hang up and will be willing to cut your price any given day.

Hey, just checking. I have other skills that I can use in DR; I'm working on my master's degree. In the US, this is the easist money I've ever made and was just wondering if it was possible for a non-local to do in DR. There are some countries where there is a demand (japan, europe). Obviously not in DR the tradional sense. Yes, I can retire down there for at least a couple months of the year, but would be nice to have some income coming in.

If the Masters degree is in "bation" there's always massage parlor work.

You can probably find work just at $20 a trick not what you would expect.

Not really sure what other skills you think you have that would earn reasonable money, either, outside the sex trade.

This is a TRICK question - right Queenbbee? It is all a need to get hold of data of what people think about 'Escorts' & 'Working Girls' on this board without actually being one of them, so that you can write all this up in the book you are coming here to write (Wasn't that what you indicated in your first post??).

Although I am FAR from being 'closed minded' on sex as a trade, please be aware that I would not like to have the sideglances & nasty comments against someone who associates with "Working Girls", levied at me or at my family members/friends. So, if you ARE serious, please let me take back the offer of help I gave in another post!! ~ Grahame.

Queenbbee,

The first thing I would suggest is that you not jump into buying a house in the DR until you have lived there for a while. It is inexpensive to rent (by North American standards) and that way you can be sure it is what you want before taking on the committment of owning property which you may have a hard time selling if it doesn't work out.

Re: the your pursuit of your current occupation in the DR. I concur with the advice given already, but would point out at least one thing that would be in your favor. I am assuming that you are attractive, charming, sexy and "talented", based on your statement of how much $ you make now. Believe me when I say that in those areas you will be doing very well indeed to hold your own. Where you would have a competitive advantage is in the fact that the majority of the "market" for these services consists of English speaking tourists, and very few Dominicanas practicing the trade speak more than a few words. You would be a "novelty", and some guys are just lazy enough that they would pass up a younger, prettier Dominicana for the comfort level that communicating in their own language affords. If you can accept the fact that you will have to make your rates competetive (see earlier posts), you may be able to do enough volume to make a modest living.

Being well educated will have little benefit in seeking other employment. What is needed for this is specific in-demand skills and ability to communicate in Spanish.

Grahame, I am suprised. A stud like yourself not wanting to barter.

Gotta weigh in here on this one. I will have to admit that when I travel to the DR...SOME of my time is spent getting down with the locals.....I just cant imagine paying for something that i could find back home.

Ok..i admit that I have payed for some boom boom in the DR (but have discovered a lot more).....

I dunno what point i am trying to make here...cept for the fact that i was a straight guy i wouldnt be playing for an expensive high class hooker in the DR when the locals are much more interesting.....dang...the women there even turn MY head...i practicaly WISH i was straight! LOL.

Well...best of luck in your endevors. I am not really sure if this thread is for real or not
