DC area is a wasteland of for Strip Clubs. I've never pulled off OTC and not for lack of trying either. I think the best advice I can give other DC mongers is to save your money for travel elsewhere. There was an epiphany I had at Paper Moon a while back, where I spent several $k on dances. I did the math and figured out for the same price of that trip to paper moon, I could have flown to FLL, DTW, or TJ and had a much better time, for the same price, even with the cost of travel factored in.

> The music is extremely loud Last time I reviewed this joint someone made an old man joke when I made the same quip. But dude, I've been to rock concerts quieter than LS. > (Please give me advice on positions with limited space and surface) I feel your pain here, this is a problem with US clubs in general, not just at LS. Doggy and CG are the only easy positions I feel. And some dancers will complain CG is too hard on their knees limiting you to just doggy.

Nice article. > Smile that could light up a bong > Body tight as a blunt For the straight and square one, you sure peppered this description with drug references, lol. And FTR, I love it when I meet a dancer who is A) driven/motivated and B) smart. But especially A. I love hearing about the side hustle that is going to be the full time gig once she can has the cash to invest it in. Maybe that's my own inner obnoxious white knight, who I know needs to be kept in abeyance. It should be no business of mine what she's doing with the money she makes. But, for a dancer I'm going to be seeing more than once, it's good to feel like you're helping someone invest in their future.

You've got some great advice in here OP, and I'll offer a few more cents: Re: Conversation. Good topics to ask her about include: music, her hobbies, where she's from, if she likes to travel (and where), information about the club or if she's worked at other clubs in the area. Re: Negotiating. I have a few tips: * The most important part of negotiating is being an informed buyer. Read lots of reviews and know what prices to expect at your club of choice. * Negotiate, don't haggle on price. Things to negotiate on include time and services. You don't have to negotiate every act. However, if something is particularly important to you (DFK, DATY or both), say so and be direct. * The reason not to haggle on price is you don't want her to resent giving you a discount and to receive subpar service. * If the price is too high, or she doesn't offer services that interest you, politely tell her no thanks and find someone else.

> NAICS CODES: 722511, 722410 🤔🧐 > NAICS 722511: Full-Service Restaurants This information checks out chief. 🤣 And, nice review @RHB! I fear the singularity is already upon us if @RHB is AI.

> 1. Do you recommend staying at a Major brand hotel ( Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt) in TJ vs Cassada’s? {I travel so much I can use points or pay way less because of reward membership) - or stay in San Diego and travel back and forth? I would not recommend this. Even if your room at TJ Marriott was free my recommendation would be the same: Book a room at Hotel Cascadas or Hotel Rizo de Oro. I recommend Cascadas because it's easiest for your first trip. The reason to stay at these hotels is because chicas from Hong Kong and Bar Tropical can visit both rooms while they are on the clock. If you have a room elsewhere you'll be shelling out unnecessary cash on short term room rentals ($40 HH) or VIP rooms ($110 H). Not to mention, spending extra money on cabs or Uber, or spending extra time crossing the damn border every night. The convenience of staying right where the action happens can't be understated. Another perk of a room at Cas or Rizo is you can get a room with a Jacuzzi, and time with chicas in a Jacuzzi is one of the Zona's great treasures. > 2. I love ITC club experiences but when I find that gem that I connect with ITC, I like to request OTC. Thoughts on OTC for my first visit? - Seems you get more bang for your buck with OTC than VIP, from what Ive read. OK, so when you say "OTC", let's make sure we're clear on what you mean. First, there's arribas: as I mentioned, you can take a bar girl from HK or BT to your room at Cas or Rizo while she is on the clock. You will physically leave the club to get the the hotel just upstairs, so this is technically "outside the club" but it's not what most of us here mean when we say "OTC" in the context of the Zona, this is just an arriba. When we talk about OTC on this forum in particular, we're talking about meeting a chica at one of the bars, getting her Whats, and arranging later to meet her somewhere in Tijuana away from the Zona Norte. This is an excellent idea, but to pull it off, you need to develop a rapport with a chica, which means you've probably already taken her arriba in the club. This would be hard to pull off your very first trip. HK management is strict about the girls working 8 hour shifts and clocking in and out, so it's unlikely you will meet a chica at HK who would come back to your room in downtown TJ the same night. For your first trip you should focus on arribas. You can definitely collect numbers and try to pull off an OTC next trip. (Does that make sense to you?) If your question is on the value of an arriba versus dances ITC (like privados or VIP), this is very much dependent on what you're looking for. Many dudes are in the Zona to meet a chica and take her bang in an arriba (OTC) immediately. For these dudes, ITC options like privados or VIP rooms are not worthwhile at all. Me, I love warming up with a lot of sexy, naked lap dances. And half the fun is knowing that when the dance ends, she'll be back in your room for the culminating event. So I do both VIP rooms and arribas if I hit it off with a chica during fichas. To each his own! One piece of unsolicited advice for you OP - be judicious with your fichas. Be discerning about who you buy fichas for in the first place, and then don't be afraid to eject from a ficha if it's not going well. If you're looking to "connect" with a chica, find out if that connection is there over ficha beers. A good ficha at a minimum should include sexy flirty conversation, maybe a bailecita (little dance), some mutual groping, maybe some besitos (little kisses.) Two questions for you: - Do you have Global Entry? - Do you have WhatsApp (connected to a burner number)? Neither are *essential* for your first trip, but I recommend both. The former could save you 2-4 hours of waiting in line to cross the border home. The later will give you a way to communicate with a chica you hit it off with for an OTC later. Let us know what other questions you have. The information here can be overwhelming sometimes, and it's easy to miss even key things others have already pointed out. And I remember planning my first trip to TJ, it is definitely daunting.

FWIW, in an OTC hookup, you’re staying in a hotel of your choosing, generally outside the Zona Norte. I feel safe in the club and a little uneasy and overly alert walking around the Zona. But OTC hookups outside the Zona feel way safer than that.

It’s definitely safe and worth it to go alone. My first few trips I flew solo and had a blast. You won’t really be alone because there will be 100+ chichas to entertain you!

The internet as we know it wouldn't exist if it weren't for porn/sex, lol.

I've heard good things about these devices from a friend who owns a GC business and deals with many Spanish speakers. I'd be particularly curious how it navigates explicit language. @PutaTester reported in a recent review that it didn't repeat words like "fuck" or "blowjob". So it might be limited as far as an arriba is concerned, but I suspect it's great for hanging out over dinner or a ficha. Dude, I think you should try it out and report back!

Here's my take: - In clubs where extras are common but not legal, I think the important thing is: DO NOT OUT THE DANCER. That means her stage name, real name, or any other identifying information, like her tatoos. I think this is paramount. - In jurisdictions where solicitation is legal or decriminalized, I welcome (and indeed am the producer of copious) explicit reviews. By this I mean Tijuana, FKKs, Pattaya, etc. In these cases, I still think it is important to avoid any identifying information for a dancer in a public review. - I'm skeptical that using code words does anything to prevent LEO from cracking down. Like, Uncle Leo can figure out what "she sang a Billy Joel song then a Frank Sinatra song" means just as well as a PL can. I don't even think vagaries like "I left a satisfied customer" are helpful. Bottom line is: Uncle Leo already knows whats up at extras clubs, and for whatever reason, has chosen to tolerate it in some jurisdictions. I think the more important concern, and this is true whether it's illegal or not, is to preserve the dancer's privacy and avoid identifying her in anyway.

Here's a question, would you purchase two sets, one for her and one for you? I feel like it would not add much to the interaction if you could understand her but not the other way around. The hardest part IMHO is the production skills: speaking and writing, but especially speaking. (Pic related)

This is a first for me, I've never seen a husband advertise for his wife on TUSCL!

Thanks for sharing @jackslash. Damn, I've got to figure out a way to get here soon. Three things I was surprised to learn from this video: * There are Go Go bars featuring Russian women! * Weed is legal in Pattaya! * Soi 6 and Walking Street are two different places, and in fact there's even more areas than this to explore. It feels like one could spend weeks here and not fully experience the mongering options the city offers. Anyone here on TUSCL have experience with these Russian dancers?

I'll go against the grain a little here: If the dance was absolutely outstanding and I would want to repeat, I will absolutely tip a little extra on top of the negotiated rate. Maybe 15% or so, so on a $300 dance, maybe like $40 extra or so. And, I would tip after the dance ends, never before. The point of tipping would be the same reason to tip a bartender well. I want the bartender to remember me and get my drink order quickly next time. Similarly, I would want the dancer to remember me and make me a priority next time I'm in the club.

I'm interested in viewing this video, but you have to subscribe to view... any other way to see it? Pattaya is at the top of my bucket list right now. But it will probably be a while before I pull it off. I would want to learn some Thai beforehand, and planning a long trip there is difficult for me currently, much easier to slip away to TJ for a few days.

@Rightfield... to your questions: > I assume condoms are required? Sex without condoms in this environment would seem foolhardy. And yet, personally, sex with a condom, even with civilians, isn't hardly worth it. Usually, most chicas will want to use condoms in the Zona Norte. I have found many, especially if I have spent time and money on them who are comfortable with BBBJ. BBFS has happened once for me in TJ, but I would not recommend. In terms of safety and hygenie, I think TJ is far cleanlier and safer than US clubs: * In the Zona Norte, chicas are all required to have an up-to-date health card to work. Maintaining that health care requires monthly STD testing. I would hope, but would also seriously doubt, that full service strippers in the US are getting tested that frequently. * Anecdotally, it seems like many chicas are pretty low volume compared to US FS strippers. I've met many in the Zona that only work 1 week a month, some even less, like a few days a year. * In the Zona, you and she both have a shower, sink and fresh towels with which to clean up with afterwards, plus maybe a jacuzzi for before. I'm not even sure what strippers do in areas like in SoFla or the DTW. Baby wipes? * In the Zona, you're fucking on fresh linens, either in your hotel room or a S/T rental. In most US FS clubs, your bare ass is seated on VIP room couch that probably hasn't been washed in months, and only the Gods know what kind of wretched bacterial infection may lurk in such places. > Which would relegate me back to the stateside strip club experience. Most guys go to TJ, find a chica for a few sexy fichas and then immediately arriba. Me, personally, I'm a big fan of lap dances. And in spite of having decades of US clubbing experience and only relatively recently discovering TJ, I think 8 of the top 10 most memorable dances I've had were all VIP rooms in HKGC. My point is, I think the experience in TJ, especially at HK, easily trumps stateside clubs, even if you're only inclined to get dances.

> I gotta at least get some basics down. For the basics, I recommend Duolingo or Babel. At an intermediate level though, I think ChatGPT is a much more fun, immersive and effective tool for language learning. Tangentially, it piqued my interest that one your ladies said "no folla me ass" / Don't fuck my ass. I have read that "Follar" is more commonly used in Spain and in LatAm, "Coger" is commonly used for "to fuck". But I had a recent experience with a mexicana who used "Follar" a few times. Maybe to a latina it sounds fancy to use the Spanish verb?

> One question: what exactly do the VIP's entail? Is it essentially a one hour nude lap dance in private? @Casey, I've had everything from air dances (once, I think that's rare), to topless grinds that would rival Vegas, to completely naked free for alls that I will remember as some of the best dances of my life. It really depends on the dancer (and probably what you tip her.) And yes, you can definitely have sex in those rooms if you choose, meseros will often offer to sell you condoms when bringing you drinks. The thing is, if you're staying at Cascadas or Rizo, you could also just go to your room for an arriba, so why pay another $110 for a VIP to fuck in, I think the VIP room is a better bet if you want dances before you arriba. Let me know if you have questions about planning your first trip there. I'm always happy monger make his maiden voyage to mecca!

Great guide OP! IMHO, the Zona Norte should be on every monger’s bucket list.

> Do you think you have a book in the works? Lol, if you know of a publisher willing to offer me a book deal, let me know. The free VIP and your comments are the only reward I get for writing these long reviews! > do the chicas ever allow you to take pictures (say with hidden faces)? I never ask, but a few have offered them. Some chicas will DM you photos, sometimes even explicit ones, to entice you to come back. > Here's to more fun in 2025. ¡Salud! 🍻

Sounds like you got great advice on this thread. One thing I would add: many mongers bring a bankroll with them across the border because getting dollars from ATMs in the Zona Norte is expensive. Usually like 15%. So if you pull out $1000 from an ATM it might cost $1,150. There are cheaper ATMs in Zona Revolución nearby, but that involves the inconvenience and cost of a cab. Personally, I think it’s worth the risk to carry versus getting cash there but to each his own. Let us know what unanswered questions you have left. I’m always stoked to help a fellow monger make his first journey to Mecca.

I just looked at Tropical’s website, and in English and Spanish they brand it “Tropical Bar” or just “Tropical” in both languages. In Spanish the right translation would put the adjective after the noun. I suspect we call it Bar Tropical or BT just because that’s what it used to be called before HK bought it up. That’s my speculative guess anyway

In your shoes shadow, I would say something like “Está bien, pero prefiero que chupes la otra cosa” / Ok, but id rather you suck the other thing (substitute mi pito or mi verga to be more explicit.) Me though, I would say no such thing because personally I love that shit.

LFK to me is a few quick besitos with a little tongue. DFK is a full on make out session. Pretty much like @ikb said. To me GFE is a like, I’m convinced she’s actually into me, like I’m fucking a new girlfriend. It definitely includes GFE but it’s not necessarily that wild though. PSE is like: holy shit I didn’t even know that was physically possible.
