Tsm adult sex travel reports of Distinction!

Tsm Reports of Distinction ...

Asia

South America

Europe

Caribbean

Africa

North America

What's needed to qualify (you must, of course be a Tsm member first):

A travel (or geared for the single male) report that " stands above the rest." Considerations are for :
- effort, unique information, research, insights, response to the article, threads created, member recommendation as a report of distinction
A legit e-mail address is required (Hotmail or similar is okay)
Non adult articles (medical, looking for a wife, sports travel etc.) is acceptable
Must be original, no copied material of any kind
Just becasue a report is flamed does not mean it is not acceptable (we all see the world through different colored glasses). What is important is exceptional content or effort

What reports probably will not qualify:

Your sexual prowess reports. As, how many times you did it, how long you did it, your penetration point, and where you put your ejaculation -- you get the idea
Reports on the " same old thing," such as how many girls were at the Wiggle bar or which bars at the Nana Plaza have the cheapest drinks or why you like Angeles City so much (now, there is always exceptions here, but it better be one hell of a report)
Articles that insult, degrade, humiliate, or contain excess profanity

The rewards:

A one year free membership from either the date posted here or when the members passwords expire for the current year (you must contact Tsm directly and request your free membership -- Tsm will then create your new passwords, not you)
Passwords will only be sent to the authors e-mail address that is listed with the report, no exceptions
Final decision on which articles make it or not is solely by Tsm, the moderator, and member feedback

1/20/05	sukhumvitter	I went to Medellin in Late December 2004 as a part of a 5-week trip to Colombia. I had been in Cartagena the year before and noticed that many of the best looking girls in La Dolce Vita were from Medellin - A fact that I stored away in my mind for future reference.
1/15/05	Loso69	This post is dedicated to Soi 6, my favorite place in the whole wide world (and Pattaya). Why do I love this place more than any other? Thatís what Iím about to tell you. And, of course, thereís an overview of some of my favorite bars and girls, with loads of pictures.

1/04/04	JCC	Going to Combodia. Here are the faq's and most questions answered!
11/08/03	Zippy	Having sat on the beach in Cartagena for long enough on my recent Colombia trip, I decided to blaze a trail to Bucaramanga. From the research I conducted before the trip it was readily apparent that this city is not a traditional mongering destination. There is almost nothing written about Bucaramanga's P4P opportunities
11/08/03	WickedWilly	This was my third trip in two years to LOL (Land of Smiles)and hopefully my best planned. A lot was expected, as always, but as it may well be my last trip, of more than a few days, for some years and I wanted to make the most of it.
10/1/03	criscisco	Has Tsm ruined my life?? Hi All..I have been a member of either TSM since about 1998. Since that time I have gone on no less than 19 "MONGERING" trips through out the world..mostly East europe, Brazil,Cuba,Columbia. I immensely enjoy the trips, but I fear that "THE LIFE" has stated to consume me!!!
10/1/03	Exact	Managua ... the purse, the base and the ugly
9/30/03	JCC	Cambodia faq. I too had problems finding current info. I've been building some FAQ's but got distracted by actual work. Will try to get these done in the next few weeks as I've got some more inputs. Here is a rough draft without the pictures/html formatting:
5/8/03	Omnis	Most tours into Cambodia leave Bangkok at the god aweful time of six or six thirty in the morning. Well none of that for me as I got up at a leisurely nine to begin my Cambodian Adventure. It was an Adventure, this would be my mantra for my trip in Cambodia. Note that I have called two weeks in Japan and three months in China a "trip". Cambodia was an "adventure" as in
5/8/03	saint69	If your ready for a change of scene, perhaps looking for somewhere a bit less hectic and less expensive than Rio but still packed with the finest Brazilian Bunda, you might want to read further. Bear in mind I'm a Brazilian newbie (visited Rio once, many years ago), and speak "No" Portuguese so some of the prices I paid are surely too high. I'd heard lots of good things about Florianopolis but always in general terms
2/04/03	jlandis	Have Jakarta tucked away in the back of your mind as a possible destination? Maybe I can help save you some time and $$$ by listing some negatives that I personally experienced during my one week stay. If this doesn't scare you off, stick around for the good stuff as it might be worth your while to tolerate some of the negative aspects of this city. Note: There's a fair number of ... (photos included)
1/10/03	fishingtime	I have been a member of TSM for a while now and have read a lot of reports, learned a lot and now it is time to give some information back to the members. Montreal is a place that I visit about once every month and have been doing so for 20 plus years. Montreal should be called the sex capital of North America; no other city can offer what Montreal does. Montreal is less than a five-hour drive from most of North Eastern United States and a short flight from anywhere in the country.
12/1/02	Zippy	Medellin, Colombia- the city that seems to be shrouded in legend. I had been considering a trip to Medellin for quite some time for a couple of different reasons. First, I heard the stories, usually told by experienced Colombia veterans over a couple of ice-cold brews in Cartagena, about the abundance of gorgeous women in this amazing city. Whispers of ...
11/16/02	Excat	Guadalajara -- a city started by Spanish conquistadors, second largest city in Mexico with over five million, and city where one of the largest concentrations of American retirees live. Located west by northwest of Mexico City by about 300 miles and east of the Pacific Ocean by over 100 miles. In late April 2002, the air was clean, the temperature was moderate, and the people were civil. The streets were well-laid out and the government buildings were constructed in a massive stone Spanish style. I hardly saw any gringo walking around el centro or around the zona dorada, but it was not hard to imagine that retirees would be attracted to live nearby.
9/19/02	wickedwilly36	As I am new to this board I thought I would make a contribution that I wrote a few months ago, the trip was in May 2002. I hope to visit LOS in October/November this year and will report on this trip also. Sorry it is long and goes on a bit, but I hope it is a little enjoyable and useful to some. Wicked Willys trip to LOS (Thailand, Land of Smiles) Part one: Arrive in Heaven
8/24/02	Batman	Detailed Cali report: The HWP is a good choice when in Cali. It meets the criteria most often employed by TSMers when looking for accommodations: very TSM friendly, clean and comfortable, good location close to some action and in that very affordable price range [US$35-US$50] of similar hotels in other TSM locations. It is located 1 block off Avenida Sexta, the main restaurant, shopping, club and discoteca center of Cali. In one direction you can walk to Chipichape Mall, a large, modern shopping complex with possibilities for encountering non-pro Calenas
7/26/02	JaimetheLime	March 22 2002. The start of another adventure to the Philippines. Nothing unusal except when I come to load the car the rear O/S tyre is flat as a fart with a nail glinting in the dawn light. Is this an omen? No problems changing the tyre and none on the flights. I did however see the eighth wonder of the world in the toilets of the Royal Wing Lounge at Schipol. As I walked in the cubicle the toilet flushed and
6/18/02	Emeritus	There is a place in France where the women do a dance! Actually, there are many such places and IMHO they make France the best place in the world right now to see creatively presented nude entertainment. I just returned from a week in Paris and Caen and the erotic entertainment there is so hot
04/26/02	Tsm	So you want to buy an apartment in Colombia. Well here is a long (very long) report of what I had to do and it is not for the faint of heart.
04/26/02	Ethiopear	Addis Ababa - Dancing With Virgins; or Brown Is Beautiful. Addis Ababa, the Capital of modern Ethiopia, and gateway for most tourists, is the political and commercial heart of the Country. Now a city of 4 million people, it was founded by Emperor Menelik in 1887. For a while, I did my best to ignore the completion of my sixtieth year: the increasing frequency of the Clairol touch-ups, resort to vitamin V, tendency of Angeles girls to address me not as ëDaddyí, but as ëLoloí; sniggers and sneers at the office when I chatted up one of the summer interns (Raluca from Bucharest, Kimi from Seoul, Habiba from Rabat, Consuela from Buenos Aires, Grace from Bandung: perks of working for an international organisation). Time, I decided, to get married again
04/06/02	Green Grasser	Green Grasser (formerly El Hunter) vacationed in Thailand the latter part of November 1999 and return again in November 2001 for the Greg It's Showtime festivities. This report is an update of the November 1999 report, which may still be useful for its details. Some 1999 information are retained for coverage but in less details and are indicated by [square brackets] and italics. Bangkok stuff are covered by items number 5 - 44 and 59 - 62. Pattaya stuff are covered by items no. 45 - 53.
03/17/02	Omnis	Well, I finally overcame my concerns about Colombia and booked my flight to Cartagena. I figured that with terrorists blowing things up in America Colombia was not so scary after all. Anyway our President said it was our patriotic duty to travel and doing my duty by chasing chicas in Cartagena is a hell of a lot better than chasing terrorists in Afghanistan. I booked an American Airlines flight from SFO to Miami then onto Barranquilla $568 net using Expedia.
03/09/02	Monger	The hot days and cool nights are surpassed only by the beauty of the sea and the festive atmosphere of the emerald lady of Colombia. Here is a 60 page report with 100ís of photos to show and tell all. Cartagena was founded in 1533 by Spanish Conquistador Explorers led by Pedro de Heredia. Within months of their landing, they had decimated and enslaved the indigenous native Calamari tribe of Indians and became the masters of this soon to be very important port. Enjoy!
02/12/02	Frequentflyer	The last month has been a typical one of traveling and debauchery in South East Asia. Rather than a blow by blow account of what I did every day, I will try to mix only highlights of recommendations and updates on the region with some stories and a little philosophy in line with what is discussed on this board, and lots of pictures.
12/03/01	Traveler	I have been a TSM member for some years now.I originally joined in search of good information on Havana back in 1996.Subsequent adventures led me to the Dominican Republic,Ecuador and Cali, Colombia.TSM reports on each of these venues helped immeasurably: first,in choosing these locations and secondly, once there,in maximizing my possibilities,and avoiding pitfalls.Read the archives.With all the current hoopla over Cartagena,let me suggest an alternative which has lower prices,more good looking willing women, a more temperate climate,and almost NO TOURISTS.(read:competition) .
9/27/01	wilmaflint	I've been justifiably labeled and certified a Rio addict, and I am definitely RUINED. I am not glad to be home, but my boyz are. After working overtime for about 11 days, the boyz can now hibernate.I gave a brief report of my first trip ("Another Rio Newbie Report") in June.
8/22/01	Elgato	Costa Rica perspective I write this report as a 4 year vet of TJ from San Diego. I've also visited Bangkok, Thailand and Angeles City and Manila in the Phillipines. In August I will take a sojourn to Toronto and perhaps Montreal in Canada. Despite my experience, this will be my first trip report. In the past I've been too lazy to write up my experiences. I'll do my best to write it as well as I possibly can, but keep in mind, this is my first sex-based report. One last note about this report, all the chica names have been changed. No following my chica trail here, you'll be better off finding them on your own anyways.
8/20/01	dumblock	What? A bus tour of Latin America?! Yeah, I spent 14 weeks bussing and bustling about in these countries while checking out EVERYTHING noteworthy for the itinerant TSM traveler and comparing it to the reports of others to confirm or dispute their findings. Here is a consolidation of over 100 pages of notes and reflections during these 14 weeks. Read my report, get a shock, have a chuckle, save time, save money, and let me know what you think.
07/29/01	Bogart	These are my thoughts of Barranquilla after being here for two weeks. When possible I made a few comparisons to Cartagena. Because I am on an extended stay, I am exploring more of the budget places to stay and eat, etc. The current exchange rate is just over 2,300/$US.
07/25/01	Lou	It is beyond my understanding why there is not more reporting on Montreal. I understand that it is more expensive and long term is not the way here, but it has much to offer. It has to be the sex mecca of North America. It does have certain pluses over the other travel venues including the obvious close proximity. Though French is spoken mainly many poeple know English; there are all types of women, from beautiful blonde scandinavian types to spanish and
04/19/01	Lou	In regards to Margarita Island I would say that timing is everything. From previous reports I recognized that this might be true for this island and I can say emphatically that it is true, from a TSM/women watching perspective. I visited this island for five days in late January after four TSM days in Curacao ( separate report previously done ), so it did not bother me too much that activity was low as I generally relaxed. There were hardly any Venezuelan tourists from the mainland and there were Germans, Italians, Dutch and a few Americans.
02/11/01	Excat	Managua: GFE Reading members' posts is like learning a new language. Case in point. GFE. I have seen this abbreviation used on this monger web site, as well as other abbreviations. Rather than expend time trying to figure out where on the web site or even the internet I can find a definition, I just think of its logical meaning and then see if it fits the meaning of the sentence. To wit, TSM probably means "tough shit, mother". See it fits, when used for guys who have seen hard times but persevere without asking for sympathy. Typically: she would not give him a BBBJ; well, TSM.
12/27/00	Cuba Rules	Cuba...WOW! What a place!! This was my fourth trip down to the island in the last two years and each time, it never ceases to amaze me. In many ways this was my worst trip (I was REALLY sick with a severe ear infection most of the time) yet my best trip in so much as to the people I met and the experiences we shared. Please make no mistake about it, Cubanos are the best people I've met in my life. Politics aside, Cuba is a wonderful country
11/10/00	Rough Ryder	After visiting Colombia last October, I set out for myself the task of trying to convey to the TSM membership my personal experiences. I wanted to do more than just post the basic facts--where to go chica hunting, how much to pay, where to stay and eat, etc.--and yet not fall into the all too familiar pattern on this board of merely boasting of sexual conquests and triumphs. I'm sure a bit of braggadocio crept into my narrative
9/06/00	Ely	Moscow: Much safer city than expected. Young & old, male & female flag down - almost like hitch hiking - "gypsy taxis" at all hours of day and night. In L.A. youíd be mugged, raped, mutilated, dismembered & murdered if you played that game. It even felt safer than Budapest, where my Hungarian friends were rather paranoid walking around at night. Obviously, if you run a business, youíll have to pay your mafiya taxes or bear the consequences, but in terms of street crime, it felt safe. Maybe just an illusion. In any case, I assumed at all times that I was walking through the back alleys of Mogadishu and tried to maintain a high level of vigilance.
9/06/00	Moongoose	A 4 day excursion to Montreal. Having done plenty of research on Montreal, known as ìMeccaî by some hobbyists, I finally took the plunge and took a trip just for TSM activities. Why Montreal? Itís the cheapest place that I could visit in a short amount of time. Iíve never been to Montreal or taken a trip solely for the hobby, and while I had a great time, it couldíve been better. I spent just 4 days and 4 nights there, but I was very busy.
7/23/00	Brazil Specialist	Everything you wanted to know by our man who lives there. Includes maps, outlaying cities, how to get laid (right girl at right price) and lots of inside info -- don"t miss is you plan to go! Now new your cheap mans (and Mr. connoisseur) off the beaten path guide to Rio
7/12/99	Blueb	I had been wanting to go to the Philippines for quite some time, ever since reading some wonderful reports in the WSG circa 96/97 and of course the TSM reports but due to circumstances had had to twice delay the trip and even though I don't believe in taking a trip in the summer I decided "the hell with waiting until September" and booked the ticket for June 14. Yes, Karma and timing is what it is all about :-)
8/11/99	Dr. K	Note from me: I don't consider myself much of a wordsmith, but I'm gonna try my best. Rather than try to write a blow by blow account of 5 weeks in Thailand, I'm going to write about two experiences in depth. What follows is one of them. Sorry about any delays, I move tomorrow and have to get a new ISP. But if I don't start writing now, I may never do so. Dr. K and the Virgin Experience - Or , 'There's a first Time for Everything'
8/20/99	Hatuey	My Cuba trip lasted three weeks and began in Camaguey with another tsmer on a shorter trip. I found tsm action in Camaguey, Las Tunas, Ciego de Avilia, Playa La Boca and Santiago de Cuba.This is vacation time for Cubans until September and lots of chicas were free from the school / University routine. This is a 12 part epilogu , enjoy!
9/29/99	Bumppo	Middle age man does Bangkok. Read and slept some as again the movie sucked. Customs easy and got some money changed to bahts at airport-signs in Thai and in English so easy to find your way around. Checked into the Grand President on soi (street) 11. After showering and shaving, it was 2:00 AM and I was ready for some action.
11/1/99	flip-man	After 20+ visits to the PI, I finally made my way to Davao City in Southern Mindanao to check out rumors about the TSM action there. Thanks to dog69 for his preliminary scouting report of the area. I had previously checked out Surigao and Butuan City and neither was good. Here is a long report of whay I found -- awesome!
11/12/99	Sailor	Tsm Report - October 1999 ... Bangkok - Saigon - Phnom Penh - Bangkok In light of the vast amount of information available here on Thailand I'll keep my report brief so as not to overlap a lot of excellent material. I'm not the graphic sort anyway - I'll leave that to Blakbart - so I'll just provide a few details and pass along some info that might be new or might just confirm existing facts. Most of the report will be new info on Vietnam and Cambodia
11/9/99	rtpman	I had been to Boca Chica before and experienced the fun there but this time I would travel to Puerto Plata and visit a friend of mine as well as sample some of the local PP ladies. I had read the archieves on places in Sosua and PP to go, but I would use them only if I didn't turn up any excitement elsewhere. My goal was to find the real DR and some new and fun places -- if all else failed, then back to the Tsm Archives. Here is my detailed report.
1/18/00	Ozzymandius	Recently came back from a two week jaunt to the PI, nine nights in Angeles, four nights in Mak ati. Had a ton of fun and caught a real nasty STD. This is not so much a detailed trip report but just a brief summary and reflections about Angeles for those that may have interest.
1/27/00	waffles	Phnom Penh is happening. TSM activities are absolutely great and the city is now the safest its been in 30 years. 1999 is the first peaceful year in the country since the 1960s. Svay Pak, Tuol Kauk, St. 63, Martinis, Sharkeys, Kin Svay and countless other places are in full swing. There's massage, kareoke, and disco places with umpteen ladies all over the city. At 11 pm there is generally a 10 - 1 ratio of gals to guys.
1/27/00	Brazil Specialist	Fortaleza,North Eastern Brazil. Detailed report. No, Rio doesnât have all the action and read this report to find better places and much cheaper prices. Enjoy!
2/1/00	Surfer	Okay, I just came back from Davao (Philippines), and I used this report as my guide. 99% correct and it was my bible (or more like Moses Ten-Commandments). What a great adventure and so many girls and so little time. If you get bored with Angels or Manila, then this is a must stop!
3/06/00	Excat	I'm bbbaaaccckkk, baby and I'm the same as I was. ... my main thought about Lima, which I will explain a little later. If you read excat's post about Lima in January, you know that I was there for a short week or so in mid-December. Basically I enjoyed it, but like most Latin America one has to search to find some TSM places. I left having found maybe half a dozen places in a relatively few available hours, thinking that I had not explored much so there must be more.
3/16/00	Croc Dundee	Many years ago, back in the early 1980's, I had my first real experience of a TSM destination during a stopover in Manila. This was during the final years of the Marcos administration, the PI was then under martial law, and Del Pilar still thrived as the main bar / red light area. It was an eye opener to a very young traveller from Australia, and an experience I never forgot. It also gave me a taste for the unique pleasures of Asian women, and inspired a long term desire to one day return to PI and/or Thailand to again "enjoy the life".
4/21/00	Purplefox	Nicaragua is a third world but it is beautiful. You can stay in Managua and enjoy all the comforts of any large city of any country but I choose to study Spanish at the beach and there is only one place to do this and that is San Juan del Sur. This is located in Southwest Nicaragua about 140 km from Managua and only 40 km from Costa Rica. In bus travel time it is only 2.5 hours by express bus from Managua and only 4-5 hours to San Jose, Costa Rica. Here is the full, detailed experiences of my 5 week stay.
6/10/00	Gator	So your thinking about Colombia, then here is a detailed report by a member who has a ranch there. Includes Cali, Bogata and the best of Cartagena. If your thinking of going, then this is a must read and tells you how to tavel on the cheap and see all (and what to watch out for).
7/01/00	Surfer	SURFER's NIPPON SOJOURN -April 2000 (AKA The Good, The Bad & The Ugly) "For if there is one single truth about Asia, it is that while each country there is totally different from every other country, Japan is the most different of them all." These words, written by World famous author Pearl Buck in her literary classic The People of Japan, are as accurate today as when they were written almost 40 years ago.
