sun safety for sex workers in central america
panama city panama – quaint north american notions of winter and summer have little meaning in equatorial regions. oh sure, the seasons change, but the tropical heat and humidity hangs around like an out of work brother in law.
hot weather’s not a major issue for most of us. the typical traveler can drink mojitos by the pool, swim in the ocean, or retreat into an air conditioned hotel room and raid the mini bar. but for tropical sex workers the heat can pose some unique challenges.
any pimp will tell you, it’s never easy to round up enough lively girls for the discerning consumer. panama sex tourists expect their whores to be delivered fresh and on time. the skeletal temptress, shipped in from costa rica or colombia, might make mad money in the rainy season, but she’ll wilt under the harsh equatorial sun. that means it’s critical pimps send out their more robust, darker-skinned girls on the hottest days of the year
loitering in an air conditioned lobby is a good way for panama prostitutes to cool off. but not every girl can make money in the veneto casino. and frankly, some of them will just gamble away the profits. pimps, it’s ok to put your hardiest women on the corner, but watch them closely.
according the department of health and safety, “symptoms of heat stroke include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, weakness, dizziness, nausea, weak but rapid pulse and headaches. people with these symptoms should find shade, drink water slowly and make sure there is good ventilation.”
if you see a prostitute suffering from these symptoms under no circumstances should you slap her upside the head to demand, “where’s my money bitch?” nor should you insist on a nooner. call for help.
other safety precautions:
in hot weather, never leave a hooker inside a closed vehicle, even for a short time.
ho’s should be given plenty to drink. but no booze, caffine, or sugary beverages. swallowing large amounts of semen should also be avoided.
panama city gets down to a cool 70 degrees at night. street walkers should try to work the early mornings or evenings when its cooler.
escorts and strippers should take frequent breaks. yes, “time is money bitch.” but dead girls don’t make nearly as much money as you might think.
before starting up on hot days, check to make sure their are no prostitutes passed out under your car.
avoid the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays:
whores should be placed in shaded areas like under palm trees or in doorways.
they should be given sunglasses with good uv protection, and fashionable wide-brimmed hats.
pimps and sex tourists should apply liberal amounts of sunscreen spf 15 on their women to avoid blistering and skin cancer.
the intense tropical heat and humidity of central america means pimps, strippers, whores and sex tourists should follow these simple precautions when trolling the streets. with a little care, and respect for the sun’s awesome power, everyone should return home to their unsuspecting families safe and sound.
next up - hot travel deals!
panama’s sub-standard buses have been red hot recently. there’s a rumor flying around, that anyone boarding a panamanian bus carrying a fully loaded fire extinguisher will get to ride for half price.
stay tuned for updates!

i am working on my certification for "topical application specialist" so that the girls will pay me to rub the sunscreen on their bodies…
Are you serious? Write something worth while, you drivel-filled idiot. Your rantings are becoming old and stale. Yes, sun screen is a must – duh. Breathe some life into your vapid thoughts and start thinking outside the silly little box you live in.
Okay, you emulate or appreciate Hunter S. Thompson. So do I. But the Good Doctor was a wordsmith and very careful with his choice of words. You have very little in common with HST.
You're some second-rate hack who's running from the law. My guess is you knocked up some girl from Boston who's from a prominent family. Fine.
But just remember that you're a punk and a loser and these silly scrawlings will not redeem that fact.
Patriccio
Patriccio… what kind of name is that. Sounds kind of gay to me.
What medications are you taking, Patriccio? My guess is Topamax.
- Brother Raul.
how dare you raul, some of my best friends are medicated homosexuals.
Patriccio — ouch!! i hope you feel better now…
you have established your credentials as a literary critic — what else do you do well?
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me , than have to have a frontal lobotomy. Unless it's the same bottle that Pattricio is popping pills from.
so patriccio does not think cojito rocks, so what, let him rant. The cojito stories are still great to some of us and I for one find cojito funny and exact on living in PTY. as for running from the law, one would not choose pty, the casablanca of the west. finding a fugitive is easy in PTY, duh.
And I, for one, would rather read the ravings of Cojito than the rantings of patriccio.
thanks everyone. traffic's spiked up in the last month or two, and along with all the extra surfers, a few toads are hopping in.
My travel partner and I will be journeying to Panama for the first time in Sept. we will be doing a tour of South Am. Naturally I am looking all over the net for helpful tid bits of information on south American travel. One of the sites I frequent is this one. I must say, I am quite fascinated by all the lively chit chat I've come across thus far. yet I am some what puzzled by how well known cojito is. For example, Patriccio says you are "drivel-filled" and just how does he know that? Are you like doing this man, woman, thing, whatever it is?….the only people who know I'm filled with drivel, are the ones who have had their asses up in the air in front of me…. Further, he, or whatever says you knocked up some girl from Boston who’s from a prominent family like its a bad thing, I don't get that…unless of course it's like his sister or mom…then I could see. Finally, Why should you remember that your a punk loser?…. it would seem to me that if you were in fact a punk loser, you would not want to remember that…..And yet this Patriccio seems quite insistent that you remember…. sounds bassakwards to me….Perhaps hes too intellectual for me…I DONT UNDERSTAND!….Will someone please explain it to me… did Cojito do Patriccio(that is a gay name right? or is it butch? Anyone?) or what? is that what this is all about?
YeahDogg
yeahdogg – good points. i think patriccio was making an educated guess about my capacity for drivel, rather than relying on any info gleaned from a homosexual tryst. while it's true i possess prodigious amounts of drivel. it's overreaching to say i'm filled with it.
to his credit, patriiccio later recanted, admitting that it was the booze talking. he even went so far as to say i might have some redeeming qualities. but again, he could have been drunk when he wrote that too.
either way, i prefer everyone forget that i'm a punk-ass loser.
