Well, we've come to the last segment of this little series. I hope the pictorial review of my recent trip has been entertaining.
But, we have this one last bit of photos to make this "HOT" series complete. I've shared some photos of various bars/clubs and I've posted pics of some of the buggies I've met over the years. There are many pics of HOT men I will post later, but this post is dedicated to the future buggies/trade that were mentioned.
Truly, if you tire of some of the veterans there is always a new crew waiting in the wings. We see them hanging around our favorite places. (testing the waters, I guess) Or, maybe they're waiting una mas ano to be of legal age.
You may see one around town and wonder, then see them in a photo shoot the next year.
Some of them are innocent encounters on the street that quickly become a fierce flirting exchange. Whatever the case, for those of us who visit frequently it's good to know that the beat goes on...

You're flirting with pedophilia here. Very disturbing....
I hope the picture of the kid you call Miguelangel is just an innocent pictue of a shoe shine kid.
That is a child who has been on the street shining shoes for quite a while. (Actually, both of them)
Please do not tell us, your readers, that you are down in DR flirting with children. Please do not tell your us your waiting on these children to become legal. I hope that's not what you are inferring.
You may want to re-think your post: Unless you wish the inference to stand. In which case you're probably flirtling with jail time.
Your concern is appreciated. Truly. However, you have missed the point of the post. If you indeed have seen Miguelangel, and many others for that matter, over the years shining shoes or doing whatever it is they do, then you have witnessed how some of them are prone to flirt, etc. After all, they are business men after your dollar. (and very perceptive as pertains to ones orientation) Not unlike the current buggarones. Some of THEM started out as shoe-shiners as well.
I am not a pedophile, nor am I endorsing that practice. I am simplying pointing out a fact that is based on what I've seen. Whether the future buggie is 15 or 21 he is eventually going to show his colors. Based on his previous actions.
This is a topic of conversation had frequently by Dominicans and tourists alike, what is acceptable and what isn't. Well, don't you worry. Neither myself, nor my associates, believe in lowering our standards just because we travel to a place where such a thing seems to run rampant.
And that still doesn't change the fact that some of these guys you meet on the street, or while out shopping or whatever will be buggarones the next time you see them. MY HOPE IS THAT THEY ARE OF LEGAL AGE, WITH SOUND MIND.
I had a similar experience like Kbnet's. I was there a few months ago, and my best friend gave 2 VERY young shoeshine bois free pesos. Major mistake! We were waiting on our beach ride, and the kids came back up to us and asked how much we were willing to pay for both of them. I swear they could only be 11 or 12. There were 4 others waiting on the bus, and they had their mouths open too. We had to testify we didn't do anything to encourage those kids the whole trip to the beach. Careful with those young ones.
