Keep in mind that prostitution is a major activity in many of the third world countries. It is flourishing in Sosua. Men from all around the world, especially North America, come here for that specific purpose. They relax around the pool and on the beach all day and then at night they go uptown.
The men sit at tables the restaurants have that face the sidewalks. They sit there and have drinks and smokes and observe the girls as they walk by.
Not all of the men are from outside the country. Many locals are involved in this activity as well.
(Keep in mind that these pictures were taken early in the evening so there was not much "activity" going on yet.)
All of the girls are young, very pretty, have long dark hair, and are always dressed up. The tighter the dress, the shorter the dress, and the more cleavage that is shown...the better the dress. Spandex and push up bras are two essential elements of fashion here.
Not all of this activity takes place along this strip of restaurants and sidewalk seats. It goes on everywhere.
All of this is why we are going to a different town next year. Cabarete is a town about fifteen minutes down the road and is much more "family oriented". It has a much, much nicer beach and a better variety of night time activity.
How sad to see. I can understand why you would not want to go elsewhere next year.
