For those who have not visited Panamá City I would tell you that it is very much like Caracas Venezuela as far as the prices of MALE entertainment. I have listed below all the places I visited and the prices they charge for female companionship. Unfortunately I was unable to connect with Showtime who I'm sure could have helped to know the town a little better. My visit to the city was brief (two nights) but I did pack as much action into it as I could. We started out with a fishing trip to Coiba, a small Island off the coast of David, which is close to the Costa Rican Boarder with Panamá. If anyone wants to know about the fishing I will answer that by email if you write me.
Arrived in Panamá City (PC) around 11:30 on Sunday. We quickly checked into our hotel, Plaza Paitilla Inn (507) 269-1122,Via Italia, Punta Patilla, Panamá. This is a good hotel for TSM travelers, a no hassle place to stay. Girls can come in without question for security of the desk. The staff was friendly and the hotel comfortable. We stayed in the suites for $89.00 per night. This included a living room with sofa, chairs and a sitting area, refrigerator, two full baths and a separate room with king bed. After checking in I tried to call Showtime and left a message but apparently I left it on the wrong machine. Sorry Showtime, I hope to catch up with you on my next venture.
Our first stop was Golden Times. When we arrived we were greeted by a large sign, CLOSED until 7:30 L. We stopped by two other places whose names I don’t recall, they were also closed. We ended up at Royal Ellegance Center at Vai Porras No. 71 in front of Villa Lilla gas station (their directions) phone 264-3313. This joint is open 24/7/364, I say 364 because the close on Good Friday. They offer Sauna Bath, Steam Bath, Bar and Massage Services. We met with Carmen, the only one in the place. She told us there were others on the way so we sat and had a beer (or two). Carmen gave us the 50 cent tour. We saw the Jacuzzi room, $200 for 1½ hours. Then the standard rooms which range from $70 to $80 for one hour. After asking I found that the girl gets $30 of this the house gets the balance. After a couple of beers Maribel showed up. Carmen was from Panamá and Maribel was Columbian. We chose the $80 full service massage which was one hour for massage and sex. After our session I questioned Maribel about take out service. She told me the price was $250, $100 to the house and $150 to the girl. Well, I'm not known to be cheap but this seemed kind of high to me. I gave her a $10 tip (ruined another one) and I told her I might be back to pick her up later, we moved on. Back to the hotel for a short nap before we hit the streets.
Our first stop was Elite, AKA Josephine’s. From what I got, all the Joephine’s have changed their identities to Elite. There was no cover charge to enter. We went upstairs and plopped down right in front of the stage. The waiter took our order and brought us a couple of Atlas beers. Immediately we were accosted by a Columbiana and a looker from Dominican Republic. They approached us from behind and appeared to be very pretty as well as friendly. I wasn’t quite ready to pick anyone out yet, we had just arrived and had not had time to look around. I told them I wasn’t ready to settle down and when they got up to leave I was happy I had done so, the butts were huge. About 80% of the women here had larger butts than I prefer. Most were very pretty. The variety of woman ranged from Dominican, Columbian, Costa Rican, Panamanian, etc. etc . . . . . I finally asked one what the prices were, $250 for two hours. I was advised that they could not leave for longer than that. I got a phone number from a spunky one named Cielo. This wasn’t easy as I could not get a pen to write it down. I even asked the waiter to leave the pen with me after I signed my credit card voucher but he wouldn’t do it. I did write it down partially when I got the CC and remembered the rest later. We gave her a call the following day, left a message but never got a return call.
We move on to Golden Times, address: Plaza Mirage, Tumba Muerto, Local A-7. We walked in and were greeted by a very friendly staff out front and even friendlier in the back. Personally I didn’t like the set up here. They put you In a confined room with a TV and you can order a beer if you like. They offer you the house special, one hour, sex – massage, two drinks, $90. I asked about take out service, $100 to the house, $250 to the girl or if you prefer, $350.00. We drank our beer, watched the action for a short time and decided to move on. We hit the same two more massage parlors I spoke of earlier. Hopefully Showtime can help out with the name here. They were in a small strip mall setup, one above the other upstairs and down. The downstairs one was rather dirty looking with women who appeared to be quite young. The upstairs one looked like the place they transported the downstairs girls from when they got older and rode too hard. We decided these were not the places for us.
We returned to the Royal Ellegance Center (for those of you who enjoy flaming due to spelling this is how it is spelled on their card. You can call them at the listed number if you would like to criticize their spelling). I paid the house $100 on a Visa and selected to pay the girl cash. I advised “my date” of what was expected as well as the fact that I would pay her in the morning, not that night. We left for the night. She was very accommodating and well worth the money when c ompared to the other arrangements I had investigated.
The next day we decided to let our fingers do the walking. I pulled our the yellow pages (one of the reasons I love Latin America) and started making calls.
Acuarius – 223-8716, 2 hours - $100, full service
Abdam – 264-4785, 1 hour - $70 full service/$50 BJ
Moon Light – 225-9768, 1 ½ hours - $100
There were a few more but they are basically all the same. We choose Acuarius (for those of you who enjoy flaming due to spelling this is how it is spelled on their card. You can call them at the listed number if you would like to criticize their spelling) and enjoyed the company of Ruby and Milagros. A so-so experience that I probably wouldn’t repeat. I had gotten the phone number of Maribel from Royal Ellegance Center and chose to call her direct. She told me to pay her whatever so when we departed I gave her $100 which she was more than happy with. Hey, we can’t all be like Stony and get free sex from working girls all the time.
In conclusion I find "The life" to be more expensive than the norm in Panamá. The women are very pretty and there is a great variety to select from as far as nationalities. I doubt I would go to Panamá again just for the SEX part of the experience. I did like the small town of David but had little time to look around for Male activities. I do regret not being able to hook up with Showtime and I thank him for offering me his driver and his knowledge of the area. Pictures were tough to get but it probably had something to do with the small amount of time I spent there.

Great summarisation of the scene in PTY.
