Another experience of a tourist who visited Riga some time ago:
“…Well, the women in Riga are amazing, starting with the girl at the tourist bureau, continuing with the girls at the money exchange and continuing every 30 seconds for the rest of your stay. There is a curious combination of bright blue eyes with blonde to dark skin and hair. On the street you will get plenty of women smile at you; all you have to do is smile back and chat a little. Sometimes they are pros, sometimes they are not. If they are pros they will let you know fairly quickly and ask between 25-40 Lats. A fair price, I would say.
Internet girls
I first tried http://www.intimservis.lv but did not get anywhere. I called several girls but different phone numbers were being answered by the same person, who always had the same story: the girls I wanted was not available but she could send me other girls. After a while I found a better site http://www.ladylux.lv which I used for the rest of my visit. In all cases the phone was being answered by the featured girl herself, and over the next few days I ended up having 4 girls form that site. In all cases they were the photographs were accurate and the service was excellent. In all cases money was not even brought up until AFTER the deed was done, which is the way it should be. It was indeed the best paid sex of my life; they were all gorgeous (in Riga you could pick a girl at random and she would be gorgeous), seemed to enjoy it (good at their jobs) and usually up for anything: oral, anal, and vaginal. The prices ranged from 35 to 65 Lats, which was fine with me. I will not specify which girls I had because I assume they change often and because I am a little possessive. Yes, I know they are pros, but those instincts are hard to suppress.
After I finished my overpriced meal I stayed for a beer, and noticed two shockingly hot babes walk in. They looked around from the entrance, just like the first one, and I looked at them and motioned for them to join me at my table. I thought it could not possibly be so easy, but they did join me, and we proceeded to talk for a good 15 minutes. Oddly, they did not order any drinks, or ask me to pay for them, and I did not offer. We talked about the usual stuff, just like any other conversation, and about good clubs to go. They mentioned one that they liked, just down the corner. I eventually decided to go with them, assuming that at the very least they just wanted was someone to pay for their cover charge. I figured what the hell. The place was indeed at the corner, and it was called the VIP lounge. As we walked in I noticed something was up, because it was a strip bar. The cover was 10 Lats, I assume each, but I did not stay long enough to find out. The girls were recruiters, and maybe they would have stayed with me, and maybe they would have ordered expensive drinks, but in Riga you can get laid for what I was going to pay in cover charges alone. No thank you.
Clubs
I made it to the Voodoo club, which was not as good as I had expected. First of all, the sex ratio was all wrong. As I walked into the main room I saw several gorgeous club dancing girls and hordes of middle-aged businessmen ogling at them. There were a few other girls dancing and a few by the bar, but it was predominantly men. The second room was a little better, but the set up was all wrong, with the dance floor at one edge of the room instead of the middle. The middle area was occupied with tables and chairs. Anyway, given the paucity of females, pros or non pros, the place worked in a “first-come first serve” basis, “you snooze you lose” kind of atmosphere. Basically, you had to get a girl and stick with her, or someone else would. Luckily, the situation was made a little better by drunken obnoxious Brits who managed to eliminate themselves from contention right away. Anyway, these girls were not as pro as at the River palace in Kiev. For example, and I think they even divided men into customers and not. Anyway, the asking prices varied a little more, from 50 Lats for an hour to 200 Lats for the night. The non-pros were there in larger groups (there was a bachelorette party, for instance) and they were just as approachable, if not more, than the pros.
Tired with that scene I decided to go to the Fashion club and I was ripped off by a cabbie who charged me 2.50 Lats for a 300 m. ride. The fashion club was equally disappointing. Instead of the dance floor taking centre stage there was a bar with a runway in the middle and men, instead of looking out for actual prospects, were just staring at the runway babes (yes, they were amazing, but not particularly approachable). The best thing to do was to stand at the bar, facing away from the stupid runway, and at least you saw all the girls walking by and looking your direction. The other alternative was to go to the other bar, which was a little better, in that there was some dancing, but the sex ratio was not favourable. The last option was to wander about the side area where there were some tables with girls in small groups. Luckily, most of them were very friendly, and none of them (at least none I met) were professionals.
The next day I tried the Roxy but it was just kids, so I ended up at the Voodoo again, and the story was essentially the same. I did not get to check out that pou-pou (the tit bar). Maybe next time.
Strip bars
I went to 2 (one was Cleopatra, the other I forget) with essentially the same story. Do not waste your time. They ask for 10 Lats to just get in, and a beer is 3 lats, as expensive as back home. Worse still, the strippers harass you if you do not tip them for doing their jobs. Whatever happened to just sitting there drinking your beer in peace while watching naked girls? Other girls will also approach you and try to agree to a table dance (10 Lats), a private dance (20-30), a “massage” (40-60 Lats) and other such services. I do not know at what point sex becomes part of the deal, but the girls I talked to wanted up to 60 Lats for services that did not even included sex. Earlier that day I had sex with a luscious and sweet 19 year old for 40 Lats. I was not about to pay as much as I pay at home for just a lap dance. I do not know about other strip bars that openly advertise themselves as escort services, but as far as regular strip bars go, do not waste your time and money.
Summary: internet girls are probably the best. Make sure they come to you and not the other way around. You might get lost, waste time, and you might as easily end up spending as much on cab rides as you do on sex (you will note that often the advertised difference between an in-call and out-call is 5 Lats, which is the price of a 2-way cab ride from nearly any 2 points in the city (to a local, of course, not a foreigner). Girls you meet on the street might be a second option, just as good and about the same price. Girls at Voodoo and other such “foreigner bars” are probably not worth the trouble but they are nice to look at. Strip bars are a complete waste of time and money…”
