Lefty Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I posted some of my experiences of Costa Rica on another lb forum, and to help get this sub forum rolling here, I will copy and paste them, and maybe it will generate some new discussions.

Lefty Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 I went to Costa Rica in early 2005, to try to find and photograph some travestis for AsianTs.com. The owner thought it would be nice for a change of pace to mix some in. The park you refer to is called Parque Morazon and I found it was relatively safe to walk around the adjacent streets. I talked to a lot of them, not many spoke English. But when I was out mingling with them while they stood on street corners plying their wares, they were all pretty nice to me. I found several who made good models and were great for sex, very passionate, ended up with a couple of galleries that didn't pass muster however. About 3 of the hottest ones I saw would not agree to be photographed for various reasons. Very few had implants. I think a couple of them at least were boys during the day, and then dressed up at night to work the streets. I think the most popular one I found there was like that. Transgenderism isn't totally accepted there, like most Latin countries, so to have day time jobs, they needed to go back and forth between being a guy and a TG, some did anyway. The place to stay is Barrio Amon in San Jose. There are several reasonable hotels or guesthouses there. The places I stayed were no problem with me bringing the travestis to the room. At one hotel, I was talking to the desk clerk about other places to meet some besides Barrio Amon, and he told me about the next city, Heredia, and he drove there with me in an off duty taxi of a friend, to look for some hanging out on the streets, I paid a very reasonable rate to the taxi man to drive us around. That was how I met my best model. Prostitution is legal there, for anyone 18+. Pimping is not legal, but since the hookers don't have to worry about breaking any laws if they are 18 or older, they don't need any pimp to protect them. For equal quality, hotels are more expensive than Thailand, by a slight margin. The money the travestis ask for a short time will initially be more, but they can be bargained down and don't seem to mind if you try to do that. One night I wanted to go to one of the discos that was popular with the GLBT crowd, and rather than go alone, I walked up to the next street corner from my guest house and asked some of the travestis if they wanted to go to the disco. Tired or bored with standing there looking for customers or having already done a short time or two, 3 of them all readily accepted the offer, and we hailed a cab and went to the disco to dance, drink and listen to music. Again, I never felt one bit threatened or unsafe being around these travestis. I think though that at least 2 of those 3, had already modeled and or spent the night with me at least once. So we kind of knew each other. There were some gay foreigners, Americans as I recall, stopping by the guest house to visit the owner. I told them of my interest in the travestis, and they did not have one good thing to say about them. Very harsh I thought, because I wasn't seeing this negative side of them. One other interesting thing that happened. One favorite travesti I met on the corner down from the guest house was a Nicaraguan named Roshany, I think. She was slender, dark skinned, very pretty, and had a long cock. I had her stay with me a few days. One evening I took her out to a fairly nice restaurant that served some sort of Middle Eastern food, maybe Pakistani, don't remember for sure. We sat at one of the outside tables, and it wasn't very crowded. We had our main courses without incident. After that they asked us if we wanted dessert. Then for some reason, they claimed to be out of every kind of dessert. Maybe I am a little slow on the uptake, so I went ahead and paid for the meal and we left. Then it dawned on me. After further thought, I think they didn't realize for some reason until we asked about dessert, that Roshany was a travesti and I think that is why they told us they were out of all desserts, to get rid of us as soon as possible. We were there kind of early evening before the regular hours when I expected the main crowd for dinner would be there. I told a couple of the fellows also staying at the guest house about it, to perhaps cost that restaurant their business. Anyway, that is what I basically remember about my 3 weeks in Costa Rica.

Lefty Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 One thing I may not have made clear. While they do bargain down on the price, as I recall they will probably start out asking about the equivalent of $60 US, which you may get down to about $35, for a short time. I really doubt one would get the equivalent of a 500 baht short time with any travesti of decent quality. For the equivalent of $60 US, if was late, say around midnight at the earliest, you could probably get a long time, as in overnight session. I did find an old, somewhat rundown, but safe hotel for about $10 US, but it wasn't near Barrio Amon, which is where you want to be. Some bargain seeking punters will stay there, but it takes some time to travel. I checked it out one day, decided I would not want to stay there, partially due to location, and partially due to it seeming like I stepped back into the 1970s looking at the bed, tv, and other furnishings in the room. The place I stayed was a gay owned guest house. Most all the tenants were gay. I think I was the only one there at that time who was OTG, and I consider myself Bisexual, but that's another topic. If anyone wants some suggestions on specific places to stay, I'd be glad to offer suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 The photo galleries for the Costa Ricans were all in 2005 on AsianTs.com and for reasons unknown to me, that entire year is missing from their archives on the site. The owner. a very kind and honest gentleman, though gave me permission to post some without their logo. These pics were from 2005, so she may have changed a bit. At the time, she was the favorite amongst the Costa Rican models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty thanks for starting off this sub-forum with details of the Costa Rican ladyboy scene not to mention a big fat dick! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 The one in the pics was Dianne, pronounced Dee-ann. I guess that's how most Spanish speakers would say it anyway. You commented she is rather well equipped which is true, however the 2 dark skinned Nicaraguan travestis were the biggest ones I found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dittobp00 Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks for the great info Lefty! I've been to Costa Rica several times, but always heard the scene was dangerous and of muggings in the park. Very nice pics, and she looks like fun to be with. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenW Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Interesting, and Dianne is/was gorgeous. I know nought of CR. But you mention Spanish, and she certainly looks of Caucasian descent. Is that the population? Spanish origins? Any other parts of the population mix? Are there any Indigenous Indians who get into travestis scenes? Fascinating, thanks.

Lefty Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ticos can be fairly light skinned unless they come from the Caribbean coast area. Some nicely tanned complexions too and some as fair as Dianne. Jamaicans immigrated to the east coast many years ago, so their blood mixed in darkened the Ticos from that area. The two Nicaraguans were very dark and lovely complexion. I heard stories from some expat gay dudes that the travestis were to be avoided at all costs, which amounted to total nonsense, although I did have trouble with one who didn't want to show her face when being photographed.

Lefty Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think most of the actual indigenous natives were wiped out years ago. I saw no travesti that to me appeared to be native Central American. The Nicaraguans maybe, but also they had some negroid blood too I think. The GG scene is really fascinating there. Since prostitution is legal for anyone over 18, girls come from many other nearby countries to work as hookers there. They hang out of an evening on the ground floors of some of the hotels like the Del Rey, which is mostly a small casino. Whenever I spotted a girl that really jumped out to me looks wise, and I asked her where she is from, it was always the Dominican Republic. It is all personal preference though. I met a girl one night who was from the DR, who told me she worked in a small brothel near where I stayed. I asked her where she was from in DR. Santiago she said. Oh I've been there I said, which part I asked. She said Cien Fuegos. I said, oh I've been there, which street I asked. She said Calle Sarah Paulino. Oh my gosh, I had a GF who lived on that street. I asked if she knew a girl by the name of my GF. She looked shocked and said, her parents house was next door. Please do not tell your friend you met me here, she said. Ok, I said, and the same for you, don't tell my GF either. Then we both had a good laugh thinking of what a small world it can be sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 I do not have copies of them with me. They were all for AsianTS.com and last time I checked their archives a lot of 2005 was missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
