Why Prostitution?
In my opinion, the most common misconception regarding guys that seek prostitutes is that they do so because they have no other option. While this may be true for some, for many others it is not. Personally, I had been getting laid on a regular basis with a very attractive and explosively passionate girl when I first paid for sex, but that same energy wreaked havoc on my mind and body with insecurity taking the form of misplaced jealousy, accusations, and insults. Prostitution for me was an escape that became a way of life.
Prostitition has many benefits. Through prostitution, a guy that is not as attractive, secure, wealthy, or intelligent as he might like can have sex with a variety of beautiful girls. In my opinion, some of the greatest ills present in modern society stem from sexual frustration. From what I've seen, people who are more sexually open tend to be happier and more peaceful. On the other side of the coin, take a look at places with the most sexual repression. In moderation, prostitution can be less expensive, less emotionally draining, and less time-consuming that what most of society considers standard avenues of seeking sexual pleasure.
Prostitution is not without it's flaws and risks, however. With prostitution illegal in places, there is often a crime element involved. You also need to consider increased health risks accompanying mulitple partners and more travel. Excessive sex with prostitutes can be expensive or lead to a dependency on prostitutes. Failure to keep your finances and emotions in check can leave you vulnerable to being hurt or taken advantage of.
I could write a thesis on prostition, but if you are reading this then what you really probably want to know about is...
Why Tijuana?
Tijuana is only a short walk or a $5 cab ride from the border of the US. If you are new to foreign travel or still uncomfortable with it, you are only minutes from your home country when visiting Tijuana. If you are concerned about people questioning your desire to leave the US, you can use the excuse of visiting San Diego. Of course, if you live in Southern California or have an unrelated opportunity to visit or do business there, then nothing can beat Tijuana for ease and convenience.
Tijuana is one of the best choices for Southern California residents and business travelers, especially ones that are limited to a few days or less. Tijuana offers sexual access to girls from all across Mexico who can make a lot of money in a short period of time and offer them opportunities they might not otherwise have in their hometowns.
A broad range of services and prices are available in TJ. One can find offerings from $10 street girls to $200/hour escorts and a lot in between. There is some debate regarding the actual legality of prostitution in Tijuana, but there is no question that it is tolerated, with some street girls only steps away from a small police checkpoint in the midst of the main prostitution zone.
Tijuana is one of the easiest places to get laid. The girls here are generally more aggressive than most countries in soliciting your business. If you step into the prostitution zone, pretty much everyone assumes the correct reason of why you are there. In that respect, a guide such as this one is not really necessary, but it does help you to know what to anticipate and can end up saving you time, hassles, and/or money.
Why not Tijuana?
In my personal opinion, Tijuana has a more concentrated sleaze element than any other country I've visited. You will likely run into more beggars, hawkers, thieves, and crooked cops than anywhere else. Thousands of people get by in Tijuana every week without incident, but I know of and hear about more problems in Tijuana than in other countries. Personally, I've paid cop bribes on about four occasions, witnessed a friend being pickpocketed, been in one accident, and was robbed at gunpoint in a hotel room, but keep in mind this is out of over 400 trips over 5 years in TJ. A bad experience probability of less than 2% is more than acceptable to me.
In terms of service quality, providers in Tijuana tend to provide better service than US providers, but worse service than other foreign countries. There are strategies and places that can increase the odds of getting optimal service, but for the beginner who visits the main venues of Tijuana, they're likely to have a better time in another country than in Tijuana. The best looking girls can do 10+ guys a day, it is extremely difficult for them to provide a consistently high level of service over a period of time.
Summary
If you are in Southern California, TJ is definitely worth a visit. The offerings will likely blow your mind and shatter your preconceptions if you've never been out of the country. If you are going out of your way to get to Tijuana, you probably have much better alternatives and should research other countries.
