After a number of trips to Tijuana of the past few years, this old monger thought he would try something a little different this time - look for a quality experience or two rather than just banging as many chicas as possible. Having three days and a little monetary windfall, I thought what the heck. I read my *********************, WorldSexGuide, and ClubHombre websites and planned accordingly.
I decided to stay across the border for a couple nights this trip and picked the Lucerna Hotel, based on ratings on TripAdvisor. Very nice hotel for about $90 a night but it's a $5-7 taxi ride to Zona Norte or Rev.
Getting in about 9 on a Sunday night, I had arranged with Mundo at comeintj.com to have one of his sweeties come visit. Couldn't get in touch with him that night to report my arrival and room number so I headed for the Zona instead. (I was also somewhat anxious since Lucerna is not chica-friendly according to Mundo. But more on that later.)
Pretty quiet in the Zona for a Sunday night. In fact on this whole trip the entire town was quiet. I thought it might be the fear of drug wars keeping people away, but the residents of Tijuana blame the poor US economy. Who knows?
Went to Adelitas and was immediately approached by Kitty, a cute little thing that was very aggressive, and the little brain forgot all the big brain knew and took her up to the room immediately without conversation, negotiation or a drink. Duh. Once in the room, she immediately asks for $100 so I start putting my pants back on. She then backs off to $60. I sometimes think I have sucker plastered on my forehead where everyone but me can see it. Mediocre experience with Ms Kitty. Payment before. By the time I was out of the shower, she was gone. First time I have ever had the girl leave without me. But I keep my funds in a money belt and I always take my pants into the bathroom when I shower, so nothing was missing.
A beer at Hong Kong and then a walk around the block, finding a very cute street girl in the alleyway. Personally I think there is getting to be less and less difference in the bar girls and street girls in quality and service. She wanted $26 for basic and another $10 for oral. Room was only $6 too. Not bad; not great.
Finally after getting a bite to eat, I grabbed Stephanie? who was wearing a skin-tight white jumpsuit from Adelitas. Wonderful figure and nice personality. Bolt-ons which are not my favorite, but great ass, flat tummy and enthusiasm. Did the nasty with her then called it a night. Long day and I am not a night owl.
After breakfast the next morning, contacted Mundo at cumintj and arranged for Kendra to come to the hotel at 2PM. I then headed to Revolution. Took a leisurely walk and stopped for coffee and to read the paper. About 10, I headed for VivaMex. So-so massage (compared to Thai version anyway) with no happy ending asked for nor offered. I wandered to the Zona. For it being about 12:30 on a Monday there was a nice selection of girls at Adelitas and in the alley. But I thought I would save my energy for Kendra, and so headed back to the Lucerna.
Promptly at 2, there was a knock on the door. It was Kendra, looking just like her photo and fitting her description - all 5' 8" and 100 pounds. Tall and very slender and dressed nicely. No problem getting to the room. Kendra was one of the sweetest girls I've ever experienced in 25 years of mongering. Great kisser. Slow and sensuous. BBBJ, DATY, no rush at all. She didn't speak much English and I speak little Spanish, but it didn't seem to matter. Good snuggles afterward. Popped twice, she took off, and I got a much needed nap.
This was the quality I had been looking for and it really wasn't too expensive - $150 for the hour. Not bad considering two pops from a Hong Kong girl would set you back at least that.
That evening at 8PM I decided to try what looked like a bit more upscale experience at Purple Rain. Got there to find a seedy, run down looking reception area and only 5-6 girls of which only one was cute. High pressure from the madam, so I boogied out and found mi amigo the taxi driver was still there. He suggested New Body (getting his cut, I am sure). It was at the wrong end of Revolution and a few blocks off, but I went in. A much nicer line-up of girls. Took the jacuzzi room for $50. In the room, the very cute girl asks for $140 and I offer $70 and we settle on $100. And while very pretty, the girl has alley-chica skills and attitude at best and has a cough that is a turn off. I pound her from a few different positions, she does the usual complaint about "too big," and I leave without coming feeling I'd been screwed, but not in a positive sense.
So in my search for quality - I'm one for two.
Next morning I follow the same routine. Breakfast at the hotel, walk along Revolution, coffee, paper, and this time a massage at Azeteca. $25 for an hour rather than 45 minutes at VivaMex. So-so massage, prettier girl, not as nice a room and again no extras offered nor asked for.
I wander to the Zona and into Adelitas. Approached by Anna, pretty girl in a school girl skirt - my fav. Great attitude and service. Wander around a bit. Couple street girls that look like they could be models or movie stars - that cute. Into Hong Kong and watch a tall. slender beauty on seforum.xxxe while I nurse a beer. I've always found it fruitless to to put the make on the main seforum.xxxe dancers at Hong long, but this time I turn to find her sitting beside me in the booth. Little conversation, a ficha drink and off to the room we go. Again a great attitude and service.
I grab a taxi, head to the border via the hotel to pick up my bag. Following O'Toole's advice, get off the trolly at Bayfront and E in Chula Vista for a choice of motels. (Very early flight so I am staying north of the border.) Pick Motel 6 which is a bizarre place full of warnings about police action, no visitors etc. I talk to a security guard and the motel was once a playground for all sorts of vice and now is in some program with the city to stay above board. Quiet night in a very modest room.
So what did I learn about quality vs quantity?
1. I really liked the escort service. Much nicer experience than the standard bar girl and not that much more expensive.
2. Stay away from the massage parlors that offer extras. Standard massage is a pretty good deal with little difference between Azteca and VivaMex.
3. I'd stay in Tijuana again, but in a good hotel closer to the Zona to cut down on taxi costs. Hotel Caesar looked good from the outside.
4. The choice in the Zona in the afternoon is smaller, but still good, and the girls' attitude is better, I think. But this may be my perception since I am not a night owl as I said before.
5. I was never hassled by the police. But then I always dress to attract as little attention as possible, drink responsibly, don't carry anything illegal and don't jaywalk.
I've always enjoyed TJ. Given unlimited funds, I'd hop a plane for the FKK clubs in Germany or the soapies in Bangkok, but TJ is an adventure. And I think most of us monger as much for the adventure as we do for the sex. Great fun.
