Hey guys, I just returned from the Dominican Republic and had a great time. I wanted to provide a few tips for anyone planning on going.
First, where to stay. I stayed in a place called Camilo House - if you do a search for gay Dominican Republic, you'll easily find it. Anthony rents apartments. It is gay owned and operated and there are no restrictions on visitors. He just warns that guests must be over 18 and was very serious about that, otherwise, anyone can come and go (and they did).
Apartments are fully furnished, and while not luxurious, for cruisers who want to pick up guys, they work very well.
For cruising, El Conde is a good place. If you go to Plaza Colon, or the cafe outside Hotel Mercurio, guys will seek you out. While they may not say it, they want money. Be aware of this. No matter how hot you think you are, as a tourist, you are seen as a source of income. They might go home with you and have great sex and then ask for money at the end. To avoid an uncomfortable situation, ask up front. For me the going rate was 1,000 pesos, and I got some really hot guys, big dicks, nice bodies. One guy asked for 2,000 after we finished, and he was not worth it - I learned the hard way to negotiate before ever bringing anyone back to my room. The last day I had a very hot young guy with a huge dick and a sweet bubble butt. He was great in bed and I was totally satisfied, so I gave him the 1,000 pesos he asked for plus 500.
I also hooked up with a guy who offered to show me around. I got a tour guide with a car plus sex. I paid him $50 a day. I wasn't even that interested in sex after the first few times, but he wanted it! He also took me to the airport and even made a typical Dominican breakfast for me one day. Very cute, very sweet and very reliable. If you want his info, let me know.
The Cine Lido is the place to go for free dick. An old musty movie theater that shows straight porn (a few clips that are repeated continuously). It is not air-conditioned and is VERY hot. Lots of hot guys with big dicks, many just wanting to get sucked. I met a few guys who wanted to fuck - one fucked me in the seats and then came back to my place. Free sex available here, but do be aware and watch yourself. I didn't have any problems, but if you carry lots of cash or wear jewelry, you might find yourself a target.
Santo Domingo is a sex pig's paradise, and an interesting place to visit as well. It helps if you can speak Spanish, not only to get to know people a little better but also to negotiate things. I will definitely be going back and would appreciate any tips from other cruisers who know the DR and have recommendations!
