Excerpt from 2004/07 Unspongebob - San Jose Costa Rica - First Visit

This is a nice strip club, with relatively comfortable sofas to sit on around the periphery of the club. There are two stages that the girls dance on, and generally there are 7 or 8 girls at all times, sometimes more on the weekend nights. The girls are available for take out, and I have forgotten exactly what the salida is because my girl and I spent so much time together where there was no charge that I forgot what it costs exactly. If I am incorrect in the amounts, then someone please correct me. Anyway, I think the salida is around $35, and then you pay the girl around $150 to take the girl back to the hotel. Of course, you can take the girl onsite to one of the back rooms for around $40 for (1) hour. But, most of the time, there were a number of nights where my girl would get off work and come directly to see me at the hotel for no money. We entered into kind of a love relationship, and we really liked each other a lot. Actually, I liked my girl from Cassablanca the best…better than my girl from Josephine’s. My girl from Cassablanca is a dominicana. At the risk of appearing to sound racist, which I am not, dominicanas are not the race I am particularly attracted to, generally speaking, but this girl really got to me, and she found her way into my heart. My dominicana is light skinned, cute face, and she has a nice body, but she was no match for the beauty of my girl over at Josephines. However, she had a great fun personality, and she was my favorite girl to be with because she was so much fun, and genuinely loving toward me. In the end, I think I was someone special to her and visa-versa. I am not naive about these things, and I realize that many girls provide GFE’s, and that there is nothing too special in reality between a john and his provider, but in this case I feel that her emotions toward me were genuine. I will explain how we met starting from the very beginning. First, we met on a Friday night, and I paid the salida for her to come back to my hotel. She stayed all night, and I paid her $85. Of course, the amount I paid was for just a couple of hours, but she ended up staying all night with me. I was concerned that I may not have a companion for Sunday night. So, I had mentioned to her that I was interested in heading over to the Jaco beach on Saturday, and that I was looking for a companion. She expressed an interest, but initially she told me that it would cost about $200 for two days, Saturday and Sunday, plus the salida for both nights since she would have to take off work. So, I told her that I wanted to also do some sightseeing too, and asked if she would be interested in going with me just to do some sightseeing around San Jose during the day. So, I had these propositions kind of hanging out there with her, and she was responding favorably to me, and I was becoming fond of her too. Anyway, I told her I was concerned that it may cost too much for two or three days, and we kind of left everything undecided. Then, eventually she suggested that she could come to the hotel after work, spend the night with me on Saturday night, and that we could do some sightseeing together on Sunday. She said that way I could avoid the salida, and she even told me she would stay with me for less than the usual $150 for all night. But, she explained that she had to make some money because the rent was going to be due, and that she had to send almost all of her money home to her babies in the dominican republic. Later, I saw her savings account book, and what she told me was true…money she was making was not in the bank because there wasn’t over 1000 colognes in her bank book. Later she explained that she makes the equivalent of about $300 a week working at the club, doing salidas, and turning tricks after hours. She told me that she goes off site about once a week for a maximum of two hours to turn a trick, and that she makes about $150 per trick. She sees her job for what it is, and she doesn’t like it. She has to go with a lot of hombres that she doesn’t want to be with much less allow them to touch her, but she chooses to do it to make money to feed her kids and make a living. She believes she has almost no alternative because she would otherwise starve on the normal low wages most people make in Costa Rica, and that the prospects in the dominican republic are even worse. She explained that she tried to get a regular job at one point in time, but that there was just nothing that would pay the rent, and still be a sufficient amount left over to send home to her kids. I believe her, and I think most of the girls are in the same situation. I think most of them would prefer to leave the life, and settle down where they can be taken care of instead. Most of them want to be loved and they want to have a regular committed relationship with a good man. That is their dream. I am not of the opinion that “once a whore, always a whore.” With some girls the “once a whore, always a whore” saying is true, but most of the girls that I have had GFE’s with are not of this category. I could be wrong, but that’s my take on the situation. Anyway, Saturday night I met my girl over at Josephines and I decided to take her back to the hotel knowing full well that my girl from Casablanca might come by the hotel at 1am after work as she had suggested. But, I was totally smitten by my new girl from Josephine’s, and I just couldn’t let the opportunity pass me by, so I took her back to the hotel with me. I was worried that I was going to have two girls to have to deal with at around 1am that night, and it had me kind of worried, but I just couldn’t pass up the beautiful girl at Josephines. Anyway, 1am rolled around and my girl from Cassablanca called my room from the lobby. My girl from Josephine’s made me answer the phone, and I had to tell my girl from Casablanca that I was not going to be able to see her. My girl from Casablanca was very disappointed, and I could tell that she was very hurt. I didn’t realize that she had grown so attached to me. I know she was genuine because she told me she loved me, and she told me she wanted to see me for no money. She said she would spend time with me for a couple of days and it would cost me nothing. She was kind of begging me. I told her I was sorry, and she figured out that I had another girl in the room, and she just said “ok, fine…bye” and she hung up the phone. Man, did I feel like a jerk!!! Anyway, the next night I went over to Casablanca to apologize to my girl. She was visibly hurt but not really angry with me, but I explained to her that a friend had told me not to associate with dominicanas because all they wanted was my money, and that I was suspicious of her motives. I asked her to forgive me, and I told her that I realized that she did not want only my money (sure they want our money, but she wanted more from me…she wanted some love too). She said she would forgive me, and I asked if she was still interested in sightseeing with me the next day. She said yes…and we met the next morning, and spent all day together until she had to work. We did not have sex that day, but we were together like lovebirds all day…laughing, holding hands, and kissing and hugging…it was a real genuine GFE. Anyway, one of the nights I went to see her but she had to go with some hombre who had paid her salida. She came up to me and she said she was very sorry but she had a paying customer. Anyway, I figured maybe it was just her way of getting back at me for what I had done to her the night before by having another girl in the room…so, I went back to the hotel kind of sad over the way things were going. Anyway, the following morning, she called my room and said she was sorry about the night before, and she hoped I understood that it was all just part of her job, but that she really wanted to be with me, but that the other hombre had paid the salida. In other words, she couldn’t get out of it. Then, she asked if I wanted to go sightseeing again. I was so happy to hear from her. We had nothing arranged prior to that moment, and she had come to the hotel to make sure I was not angry with her. I told her I understood and that I was so happy she came to see me. We were together all day again…and it was the perfect GFE…and, no money. Oh, of course, I purchased food and stuff to drink, and I bought her some pants and a shirt…but, nothing much, really. I had started to care for this girl, and I would have purchased stuff or paid her for her time just because I was believing that she actually did have a need, and I believe that she does have a need to this day. Anyway, the last day I saw her, she wanted a cell phone, so I purchased one for her, and paid for her cell phone time at the phone company. I purchased it for her because I care about her now, and I wanted to help her. She would have gone with me whether I bought anything for her or not. Besides, she had been such a great GFE, I decided that I was glad to help her. It was certainly better money spent than what was spent on my girl from Josephine’s who only needed the money to style her hair and do her nails.

Any Info on this place? It´s right down the street for the Morazan.

At the site of the former Tentaciones.

A recent Saturday saw no cover charge, 1,000 colones for a club soda, 2,900 colones for a cup of wine for a girl.

Also, private dances were 6,000 colones for two. I negotiated for three.

There was no sex in the champagne room, but I took the prettiest girl. Perhaps the others would be more accommodating.
