I was in Medellin:
April 21 - May 14 (23 nights)
Statistics
During my 23-day stay in Medellin, I had:
ST: 20
LT: 7
Girls: 24
Abysmal LT stats (29%). And, excluding the 1st night, there were 4 days I didn’t get laid at all!
Casas
Daytime Casas
Centro is littered with daytime casas. Most open at 10 AM and close between 6-8 PM. With average prices around 30k COP for 30 minutes and 50k COP for an hour, they’re pretty damn cheap. Some places (like Sexi) even have a 2 for 1 special for 50k COP.
Some would say the daytime casas are the main attraction in Medellin. Yet I didn’t visit a single casa. Why?
When you enter a casa, you get shown the line-up of chicas. You pick your favorita and escort her to a room. What’s wrong with that scenario? No interaction! In a place where negotiating services is a must, low interaction environments are a recipe for disaster.
Then there are the facilities. Cold water showers and beds as hard as concrete seem to be the norm. None of the daytime casas have a take-away option. It is possible to meet the girls after work, though. But that implies it would be a repeat. And the chicas have to wake up early.
From day 1 (with Salome from Lindas Chicas), I got into a pattern of going to sleep at dawn and waking up late afternoon. Since I’m a night owl by nature, that cycle was tough to break. And since the daytime casas are not at all my style, I simply wasn’t motivated to get my lazy ass out of bed.
Upscale Casas
Apart from the cheap casas in Centro, Medellin also has more upscale options. Top of the line is Loutron, where a 1 hour session will set you back a whopping 185k COP. Judging from reports, that buys you a CBJ on a mattress on the floor. No, thanks!
Lindas Chicas
Address
- Calle 58 # 50A-54
- Close to Prado metro station
Phone
- 254-05-98
Lindas Chicas offers a unique service in Medellin. While the client base in all other P4P venues is 95-98% locals, Lindas Chicas specifically targets a foreign audience. And, as far as I know, it’s the only casa in Medellin offering a take-away option.
Lindas Chicas is a 24/7 operation, but mamasan Nanci only has chicas on the premises between 10 PM and 6 AM. Most of the time, the line-up consists of 6 chicas. Whenever chicas get booked, Nanci calls for reinforcements.
Nanci told me she had a catalogue of 80 girls. After visiting Lindas Chicas almost every night for a week, I would say that’s a gross exaggeration. A stable of 20 chicas is probably closer to the truth.
On my 1st visit, I told Nanci I was looking for a carinhosa chica to spend the night with me. DFK & BBBJ were a must. Nanci went to talk to the girls. All were willing. GFE service is standard at Lindas Chicas.
Once you’ve picked your dream date, she’ll sit down on the comfortable sofa with you and order a drink. All the girls used DFK as a sales technique. And that’s how it should be!
The girls told me that Lindas Chicas had 5-6 customers on a good night; only 1 on a bad night. The Lindas Chicas girls are low mileage.
I generally partied with the girls in my apartment the whole night. Colombianas tend to be shy in public, and nothing beats drinks at supermarket prices. The chicas are party girls and love to stay up all night. They may not be ideal companions for party poopers who wake up in the morning.
If you’re looking for a TLN GFE, Lindas Chicas is the place to go in Medellin. It’s also the only place where a TLN doesn’t end when the sun comes up, but lasts until lunchtime. Ask to make sure anyway!
Finally, the prices:
- 75k COP multa
- 200k COP TLN
- 10k COP for drinks (yours & hers)
Strip Clubs
Upscale
San Diego
Address
- Calle 37 # 45-15
Drinks prices
- 10k COP for beer (foreign brands only)
- 20k COP minimum consumption
- 14k COP for ladies drink
The beautiful chicas seemed to be cold hearted snakes. The quality of the selection in no way warranted prices (drinks & chicas) that are 2-3 times higher than in Centro. I visited San Diego once. Once was enough!
Fase II
Address
- Carrera 44 # 30-27
Fase II is supposed to be the top strip joint in town. But the chicas have an even worse reputation for being barracudas than in San Diego. CBJ from a plastic doll with silicone tits? No, thanks.
Centro
Prices
The prices in the Centro strip clubs are pretty standard.
Drinks
- 4k COP for local beer
- 5500 COP for trago (shot; literally swallow)
- 8k COP for ladies beer (small bottle)
Chicas
- 50k COP for 30 min
* Some girls may ask for 65k COP
- 40-50k COP multa
- 100-150k COP TLN
* Negotiable
Ejecutivo
Address
- Calle 53 # 48-20
Ejecutivo has by far the largest & best selection in Centro. The quality is as high as in San Diego, for a fraction of the price. And the girls are a helluva lot friendlier.
Las Americas
Address
- Calle 53 # 49-50
Evelin was the only stripper to visit my apartment. She was a perfect little angel. While Evelin was my favorite Las Americas girl, there were a few other cuties as well.
Maracaibo
Address
- Calle 53 # 49-30
Maracaibo was my least favorite of the 3 strip clubs on Calle 53, while it’s Frank Casio’s favorite. Give it a try and form your own opinion.
Las Gatas
Address
- Carrera 50 # 52-94
During my only visit, there wasn’t a single attractive chica in the house.
Conejitos
Address
- Carrera 52 # 53-03
Panama Mike & I stuck our head inside Conejitos one night. We weren’t impressed.
Grill Occidental
Address
- Carrera 52 # 53-158
Another place where Panama Mike & I had a peek at the talent... and left.
General
Observations
Strip clubs are the main nighttime P4P option in Medellin. I figured many of my bed companions would be strippers. It didn’t work out that way...
If you don’t mind fucking the chicas on the premises, the Centro strip clubs have plenty of quality and present a good deal. Unlike in the casas, you can chat with the girls, gauge their enthusiasm and negotiate services.
I had no desire to fuck the girls in crummy rooms with cold water showers. Instead, I invited them to my apartment for the night. Some girls weren’t interested, but many were willing. Most readily agreed to DFK & BBBJ, though a few stubbornly refused. Staying until afternoon didn’t seem to be a big issue. But there was another stumbling block...
Every single chica I talked to insisted on being paid in advance in the bar (multa + chica fee). Except for Evelin, I was unable to convince a single girl to accept payment after the deed. This mission impossible frustrated the hell out of me!
Frankly, I am astonished that the advance payment issue in the strip clubs gets little or no attention on the boards, when it should be headline news. I was shocked when the strip clubs turned out to be a dead end. As they were supposed to be my main source of chicas, I was also totally & utterly screwed!
Miscellaneous
Although the strippers can make good money in tips, only about half the chicas actually show the goodies on stage. One time, I wanted to talk to a chica after seeing her perform on stage, but she never showed. When I met her outside and asked why she didn’t make her rounds after the show, she replied she didn’t fancy getting grabbed by every drunk in the bar!
Weekends are the busiest days for the strip clubs. Some girls only work fin de semana, while some of the chicas who work weekdays take the weekend off.
La Mayorista
Introduction
I was running out of Lindas Chicas to fuck. I couldn’t catch a break in the strip clubs. My trip was in serious danger of being a total bummer. Luckily, I discovered La Mayorista!
Those who say La Mayorista has nothing but skanky hoes for truck drivers need their eyesight checked. There are some gems out there!
The Strip
La Mayorista is a short strip along Calle 85 in Itaguí. Every taxi driver knows it. The area is littered with streetwalkers. There are also a few bars & restaurants and plenty of street vendors. La Mayorista is supposed to be 24/7, but I never visited before 8 PM. The best time is after 10 PM.
The standard price for a 30 min ST is 25k COP, though some girls may ask for 30k COP. The full hour will set you back 50k COP, though I had offers as low as 40k COP. The ST room will cost you 12k COP (18k COP with 2 girls).
Of course, I had no intention of fucking the girls on the premises. Out of curiosity, I asked a fellow monger about the facilities. He replied: “Shower? I won’t even go there. I just sling my dick in the sink.” Nuff said!
Take-away
I wanted the chicas to visit my apartment. To improve my chances of a GFE, I wanted minimum 1 hour. To cover the time wasted by taxi rides, I offered them 10k COP over the going rate. 60k COP for an hour in my apartment seemed like a fair deal for both of us.
What do you think the chicas prefer? To make 25k COP in a crummy Mayorista room or 60k COP in a comfortable El Poblado apartment? I’ll give you a clue. La Mayorista is their comfort zone!
Some girls readily agreed to hop into a taxi with me. Others needed some convincing. Yet others stubbornly refused. Promising the girl to escort them back to La Mayorista may help (I was coming back for seconds anyway). Asking another chica to vouch for you may also do the trick.
Having your own personal fuck pad right on the strip (My Place) may be the ultimate solution!
TLN
While STs are a nice distraction, a TLN GFE is what I really wanted. Unfortunately, that’s not so easy at La Mayorista.
The Mayorista chicas are local girls. The vast majority have kids. Some go to school. There are 1001 reasons why a TLN only lasts until dawn in Medellin, any of which may be an excuse for their Colombian boyfriend.
The normal rate for a TLN at La Mayorista is 100k COP, though some chicas may ask for more. But I didn’t fancy a Colombian TLN. For me, a TLN lasts until lunchtime. I offered some chicas 150k COP, but couldn’t find any takers. I figured paying 6 times the ST rate for 2 fucks and a full night’s sleep in a comfortable bed was a great deal. But try & explain that to chicas whose short-sightedness borders on stupidity!
With a repeat (like Liliana), a TLN is easier to come by, as it gives the girl a chance to organize a babysitter. Madeleyne, who came for an hour, but stayed for 24 hours, was the only Mayorista chica with a permanent babysitter. She may be a cokehead, but she’s got the right idea!
Gringos
Of all the P4P venues I visited, La Mayorista had by far the highest number of gringos. Frank Casio’s publicity campaign must be doing wonders for the area.
Considering the numbers, I was surprised there weren’t more chicas catering specifically to gringo needs (like Madeleyne). Then again, brain power is not their forte. Services
Mayorista chicas will do all kinds of things. But they don’t want the other chicas to find out what mischief they get up to. Several girls explicitly asked me not to tell other girls they’d given me a BBBJ. Especially not their best friend!
Negotiating services (DFK, BBBJ...) is a must with Mayorista chicas, but you have to be discrete! If other chicas can overhear the negotiations, any request for “special” services is bound to be met with a firm: “No!” Whisper in their ear or pull them away from the crowd to make sure nobody can hear you!
For the same reason, 3-somes with Mayorista chicas are doomed to be a disaster.
GFE
With a few exceptions, the service from the Mayorista chicas was great. Would I have gotten the same level of service if I’d taken them for a ST on the premises? Frankly, I don’t think so.
While some chicas were apprehensive to leave the Mayorista comfort zone, most felt right at home when I offered them a drink and put some music on. We could dance and get to know each other on the sofa. We could have a hot shower together (though some girls preferred cold water
). An unhurried session in a nice apartment definitely improves your chances of a GFE. BTW, I always make sure there are no (working) clocks in my room. Some girls totally forgot about the time and went well into overtime.
Adelante
Quite a few Mayorista chicas also asked to be paid in advance, but it wasn’t nearly as big an issue as in the strip clubs. Not a single chica asked to be paid before getting into the taxi. Once we were in my apartment, I had home advantage.
Sometimes, pointing at my apartment and saying: “Do I look poor?” was sufficient. Worst case scenario, I’d put the money in the night stand.
Other Streetwalkers
Prado
On my way to Lindas Chicas, I spotted a few cute chicas (and plenty of transvestites) just outside the Prado metro station. When I revisited the area late at night the next day, only the transvestites were still on duty.
Frank Casio told me that most of the Prado streetwalkers are glue sniffers. Is that worse than coca sniffers?
San Diego
A taxi drove MiamiHeatLuver & I around the area late at night on Mother’s Day. There were very few chicas and the only hottie was reportedly a total pro.
The area may have more to offer earlier at night on regular days. As the streets were totally deserted, exploring the area by taxi may be the smart option.
Carrera 53
The area has about a dozen tiny bars, with just a couple of chicas in each bar. Most girls were sitting inside, so you couldn’t get a decent look at them from the street. Only a few unattractive specimens approached us on the pavement.
Once again, that was on Mother’s Day. The selection may be a lot better on other days.

Looks
Paisas
There’s no denying the paisas are beautiful. Of course, the real question is: are the paisa putas beautiful? I’d say they’re a cross section of the general population... but without the stunners.
Pretty faces are easy enough to find. Hot bodies are a different proposition. I wasn’t impressed with the percentage of flacitas in Cartagena in 2005. It only seems to be getting worse. At least 80% of the chicas is overweight. Gorditas rule!
Silicone
Silicone tits are big business in Medellin. Especially in the strip clubs, plastic tits are all the rage.
Personally, I prefer a mouthful.
The only enhanced tetas I sucked on were on a blind date. But Christina did provide some interesting insights. She told me she had the implants to improve her self esteem. To feel sexy! Looking attractive to guys has nothing to do with it. Sisters are doing it for themselves! Service

Observations
The service in Medellin was generally excellent! And many of the blemishes were during more-somes (orgy; 3-some). Excluding those, the figures would be even more impressive. Of course, almost all the chicas were interviewed beforehand.
Untrusting Nature
The Cause
Paisas have an untrusting nature. What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? I happen to think it’s the root cause of just about everything that’s wrong with Medellin! And yet searching various Colombia boards for the word “untrusting“ didn’t yield a single hit!
Prepagos
Obviously, the main consequence is the fact that many chicas will absolutely insist on advance payment. I suppose there’s a reason why putas are referred to as prepagos in Colombia.
My alarm bells are ringing as soon as I hear a word of Spanish anyway. And if a chica wants to get paid in advance, I figure she won't respect the deal we've made, so I stubbornly refuse. But that ruled out most of the mongering options in Medellin.
Is there a correlation between chicas asking for upfront payment and bad service? There definitely is! Each and every one of the underperformers asked for the money in advance. All the chicas who trusted me to pay them turned out to be great. Does that mean you should chuck a chica out as soon as she utters the word “adelante”? If you wanna play it safe, the answer is yes. But you may throw out the baby with the bath water, as a few great performers initially asked for upfront payment as well.
I also discussed the issue with a few chicas. “I’m a foreigner. You really think I don’t have a measly 60k COP?” “I believe you have it, but that doesn’t mean you’ll give it to me.” Astounding!
What about the chicas who specifically cater to a gringo audience? None of the Lindas Chicas girls (solo) asked to be paid in advance. Neither of the Medellin Mansion chicas even talked money in advance. Both provided excellent service and simply trusted me to provide adequate compensation. That shows it is possible to deprogram a paisa’s natural instincts. Probably not an easy feat, though.
Comfort Zone
Another consequence of the paisas’ untrusting nature is their reluctance to leave their comfort zone. Casas don’t provide a take-away option. Streetwalkers and strippers may be hesitant to leave their natural habitat.
Is it such a big deal to hop into a taxi with a gringo and join him in his comfortable El Poblado apartment? Unfortunately, many would say yes.
Paranoia
Many chicas got the phone number of the taxi who brought us to my apartment. What’s wrong with calling a taxi from a reputable company? One that’s actually in the neighborhood and will show up within 3 minutes. “I don’t know him.” These chicas don’t trust anything. Total fucking paranoia!
Coca Putas
I suppose Colombia will always be “El pais de la coca”. Working girls are prone to substance abuse in any country. With the availability & price of coca in Medellin, you’ll be hard pressed to find any coca virgins.
If you catch them in the right mood, coca putas can be great fun. But over any period of time, their unpredictability makes druggies more trouble than they’re worth.
Medellin Scene
Local Scene
The P4P options in Medellin mainly cater to locals, though foreigners are welcome. Even if Medellin is a well publicized international P4P destination, there are few options catering specifically to gringos and their needs.
Local married men generally want an on the spot quickie. The entire P4P scene is geared towards ST action on the premises. The TLN GFE I crave is an unusual request in these parts.
Gringos may have more money than the average local punter. But we’re only in town for a short while, whereas the locals are regular customers. While gringos will try & fuck every pretty face in the bar/casa, most locals will stick with their favorita. Are gringos preferred customers? Don’t be delusional!
If some strippers do aggressively approach gringos, it’s only because we’re easy targets. Gringos tend to be generous with ladies drinks, while locals simply share whatever they’re drinking. And the turnaround time (from Hola! to Vamos!) is much shorter with gringos.
Creature Comforts
I used to fuck girls in wooden shacks in Cambodian border towns. But the older I get, the more I value my creature comforts. I’d be back amongst those wooden shacks in a flash if I found myself in the neighborhood – there are some gems out there. But these days, I’d rather pay a little more and take the girls to my comfortable hotel room.
Fucking girls in crummy rooms without even the most basic facilities (like hot water!) simply holds no appeal to me. That’s why I stuck to my guns and rowed against the stream until the bitter end, even though it made my life very difficult.
A comfortable environment also improves your chances of a GFE. And my apartment had a fully stocked fridge, music, toys... not to mention my camera! Finally, home turf also provides home advantage. The chicas are more likely to be on their best behavior on unfamiliar territory.
Frustration!
Casas aren’t my style. The strip clubs turned out to be a dud. I was stuck with Lindas Chicas & La Mayorista. While these venues are definitely worth exploring, they shouldn’t be the centerpiece of your trip.
As if the limited options weren’t bad enough, there was the advance payment issue, the chicas’ reluctance to leave their comfort zone and the hassle of having to negotiate every little detail. The Medellin scene drove me fucking nuts!
Spanish
Nobody speaks English in Medellin. Unless you can get by in Spanish, stay at the Medellin Mansion or stay away.
Medellin vs. Cartagena
In terms of mongering, Cartagena is the antithesis of Medellin. Freelancers in the discos. Freelancers on the beaches and in the streets. A scene entirely geared towards foreign sex tourists. The chicas always come to your apartment. Exactly the way I like it! While I slugged to 24 chicas in 23 days in Medellin, I scored 52 chicas in 21 days in Cartagena!
Alas, the service totally sucked! Of course, Cartagena 2005 was my first ever mongering trip outside of SE Asia. After a decade of sampling Asian sweeties, Cartagena ice queens who wouldn’t kiss, gave CBJs and left early were total culture shock.
Combining the Cartagena scene with Medellin service would create paradise. But I’m afraid Utopia doesn’t exist.
Final Words
Did I have a good time in Medellin? I got some decent looking girls. Most of them provided wonderful service. But I was just making the best out of a bad situation. The little time I spent with a girl in my apartment, I was happy. The rest of the time, I was mainly bored and frustrated.
But that’s just me! If you’re prepared to go with the flow and take your chances on cheap prepaid fucks in crummy rooms, you might just think it’s paradise.
