First off, I've been reading redbook international forum for a couple months now. When I first read it, I thought this was all great, but it's turned into a little bit of an addiction. Keep up the good work. I hope to add to some of this going forward.

Now the question: does anyone know anything about mongering in Bucharest? I will be there in the next few weeks, and I've done some research on the web but there isn't much out there (other than the erotic massage ads and a bunch of dated comments on ISG). Specifically, I'd love to find out:

- Locations of any non-strip club brothels
- Prices (including tip) for street/casino and brothel girls
- Good location to pick up street/casino girls
- Whether hotels are girl friendly

In case it matters, I will be staying at the Radisson and will be with some work colleagues, so it would need to be semi-discreet.

Oh, and I tried the search function, but nothing popped up. Sorry if I missed something there.

Thanks in advance for any help. I will report back with findings.

It seems there are four venues to find fun in Bucharest:

- Erotic Massage Parlours. These are legal and dotted around the city. It appears they try to charge around €50/hr for a massage, which is only a HR at the end. However, I've found that they tend to drop to about RON 150 if you just do even the slightest negotiations. The girls range from okay to quite hot (perhaps 9s), and repeat service can get you an offer of FS. I've had some girls with amazing service... one girl at an erotic massage tried no less than 10 times to put me in BB for no extra cost. My limited Romanian couldn't quite communicate that a condom was needed, but either no condom or no understand. Sigh. One of the best places was called the Ibiza Massage.

- Escorts. These seem to be a great value if you can find one that speaks english. I tried one girl for RON 250 who gave an unbelievable BBBJ, but just an okay (read: mechanical) service otherwise. Still, I'd recommend... if I could find her ad. I'm sorry... it seems to be down now.

It looks like the really good looking girls are asking €100 to €150 an hour.

- Streetwalkers. You can find these outside (and sometimes inside) of most of the big hotels. The ones on the street will all go for RON 100 for an hour (or when finished if early), but they range from a 5 to 8. I noticed one girl in the lobby of the Mariott one night who was a solid 10 (at least... amazing), but I was with people and couldn't engage. I would have happily paid €150 for an hour with this girl... she was stunning. You can also find some pretty hot girls in the casinos.

- Strip clubs. I can't really advise here since I haven't tried them. The few I walked by just didn't seem all that safe. The locals that I know here have said it's not safe and that it's €100 in lady drinks before you even have the option of a girl.

I hope this helps.
