The truth about Santo Domingo is that it is the island's best kept secret, especially when it comes to brothers and their travel preferences. Not all, but many want "fish in the barrel" type situations where the women are loose, easy, and willing to barter. You won't find much of that in Santo Domingo. Obviously there are massage parlors, secret hoe houses, street walkers, etc but the majority of these are hidden from view and you gotta know somebody to gain access. Most americans come here strictly for the tourism aspect, because Zone Colonial is the oldest part of the city and still has many of the older spanish architecture still in use. If you don't speak spanish, you won't be able to enjoy yourself to the fullest because of all the beautiful women you might encounter, only a small portion can speak english fluently and chances are those women are super professional and probably already well off, meaning it won't be easy. Some guys get frustrated with that, and for that reason choose Sosua and places like this. The difference between Santo Domingo women and Sosua women is 100% attitude and energy. Even if you saw a girl that you met in Sosua in Santo Domingo she won't treat you the same. Women here don't run up on gringos grabbing their pants asking if they want a girlfriend. Here in Santo Domingo you can fall in love in the grocery line because the checker will be gorgeous.. or the manager.. or the cleaning lady. I've been here in Santo Domingo almost a decade now, and I would never go back to the states. I live outside the city and i am surrounded by black folk, yellowbones, redbones. I ain't seen a white boy in months. A life without white folk means a stress free life lol
