We can guess; me say nice things, me get mucho till the big ship comes in, but I would really would love to do an honest interview

Oops that thought just went up in smoke when I used word honest

Don't beat me up, I'm talking about sankies

I think if you believe love is involved, its not like prostitution. I don't what their reaction would be if you walked up to one of them (animation team) and asked how much?

The romance thing makes it seem more enticing.

Right, I wonder would women who go to the Caribbean never expecting to fall in love or never expecting to meet anyone consider themselves to be in the category of a "sex tourist". I think with some men, it's more cut and dry. I think some guys go there knowing what they are going to do and negotiate prices, etc. With some women, I don't know that its that cut and dry. I guess of course there are women who go for this purpose and knowing thats what they want, but I wonder if it's the norm.

I too would love to know what goes on in the heads of the sankies and I really wish I could find out honestly. But I definitely think it's a long shot for that ever happening.

For the guys it is more cut and dry, that is for sure...I just heard a golfing buddy tell us that his friends were not going to join us in a round of golf because they were "on the hunt."

i have heard young Dominican girls say "why not have sex? " Afterwards, a little soap and water and amen!"

I think that women that come to the Caribbean need to have the "romance" involved, because in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, "it" is never given away freely....there is that terrible Protestant Ethic hanging over us....but if "love is involved" well, so much the better. Apparently the local sankies have tapped into something here.....

Ok, I give up!!!! What's the fascination with these types of men? ... I don't care to know, ask yourselves please!!!

Instead, would you be interested in knowing whether folic acid can prevent alzheimers or stem cells may be harvested from a mother's womb or .... ??? what was I thinking again?

I think HB hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what they've tapped into unfortunately.

It's the all powerful illusion of romance. I'm sure if they set up shop and posted their prices it would not work as well would it?

Yes, being a woman and having a multi-tracked mind, I would love to know the answers to those questions as well, Shad! I am sorry that you are a man and therefore have a one track mind that can only handle one of lifes questions at any given time. I have many interests and human nature is one of them. Shoot me!

You are absolutely right. I was saying something to this effect in another post on another forum. It sometimes takes American men months or maybe years to say the things that you might hear from a Dominican man within a week or two. I think a lot of women coming from NA or Europe and being unfamiliar with the Dominican culture and "Sankieism" think that maybe these men are just different and are more affectionate and open. In essence this is what we as women are looking for in men. We want to be wanted and needed and doted upon and when you go to the DR and you talk to a guy and this is how they treat you, you are taken back by it. And until you come here and read this forum you don't know that it could all be a trick. You just chalk it up to a cultural difference and think that everything is good. Until you realize that it might not be. The local sankies have definitely tapped into something....
