The Love Motel – A Fun & Practical Solution to Sex in Colombia

A classic of South America, a must-see for everyone traveling through, a jaw-dropping idea for travelers and a “home away from home” for locals: the love motel.

The love motel industry, which began in Japan, has spread throughout the world and all of South America, especially Colombia.

Love motels are a multi-billion dollar industry that allows men and women discreet access to lovemaking in themed suites.

While it is difficult for a Westerner to accept the idea of taking his/her girlfriend or boyfriend to have sex at a motel for two hours, here in South America, the notion is quite different.

When you are from a country where most adults live at home until they are married and there is no privacy to explore intimacy, a love motel becomes a perfect and safe alternative.

It’s not uncommon to see advertising (sometimes in the form of large banners hanging from the rafters) in local bars and discotecas.

Depending on which one you go to, they can be very private, clean and very cool. Of course, if you go to the wrong one, you may just feel… gross.

For my birthday I wanted to do something I never did before, so I politely asked my friend to take me to one… just to see of course! And wow!

It was a playground for sex fantasies and sensuality. It also gave me a better understanding why Latinos are so passionate and intimate.

The rooms were plentiful and exotic.

The room that I was fortunate to land in had a massive, circular Jacuzzi in the back with a rain water-type faucet overhead. There was a “love” chair and a huge bed, which vibrates of course.

The decorations were black and white tiles with four different settings for light shows.

There was a private and clean bathroom as well as many mirrors all over the place and a fantastic sound system.

While I only visited one room, I was told that the other rooms were just as fabulous if not more so.

The important thing to remember: you do not have to be embarrassed to visit a love motel nor do you have to be embarrassed to invite your new Colombia “friend” to join you in visiting one.

It’s almost guaranteed that they have already been.

But, love motels aren’t the only way some Latinos enjoy exploring their sexuality. A very popular site in Medellín is Guiacereza.com.

This is a Colombian community for adults to get information about erotic stores, swinger clubs, strippers for hire and gay hang-outs as well as chat rooms, forums and blogs about sex.

On this site, you will also find five pages of love motels with their addresses.
