I’ve just returned from a 10-day trip to Morocco, which was my first trip to this country. Therefore I am far from being an expert on Morocco. Yet I think I’ve seen enough to be able to say something meaningful about the prostitution scene in Morocco. But every word I write in this report is merely my impression and opinion only!
Why did I go to Morocco? Because I had some spare days and from Western Europe (where I live) Morocco is an easy and cheap trip AND because all Moroccans I know of like to tell about the great prostitution scene in their country. I had never a reason do disbelieve them, because Morocco is regarded as a liberal muslim country (Indonesia is also a liberal muslim country and surely great for mongering) and one time I have met a beautiful Moroccan prostitute in my country who had told me she had worked in a brothel in Morocco before. So obviously there was a great brothel scene in Morocco waiting to get discovered. From the reports on WSA and from what the Moroccans were telling I understood that this great scene was not to be found in the cities and the places where the tourists go: it was hidden in some small Berber villages in the mountains. Now was the time to go and look for it. In fact, while traveling in Morocco I often felt like the married couple Wassons searching for the magic mushrooms in rural Mexico in the 50’s. It was definitely quite an adventurous trip and therefore I did enjoy the trip, despite of the fact that I haven’t managed to find the ‘magic mushroom’ I was looking for.
THE COUNTRY
- FACILITIES
Morocco is a very cheap and comfortable country. At the time I was in Morocco,
in the second half of December 2002, 100 Dirham (DRH) was about 10 US-Dollars.
You can get decent hotels from about DRH 100 (the cheapest ones of around
50-70 DRH only provide shared toilet and shower) and decent food from about
DRH 20-30 (lots of tajines, brochettes, pizzas and hamburgers/sandwiches
available). You don’t need to bring cash or traveler cheques nor do
you need to send letters by airpost to your home front: Morocco has lots
of ATM’s and internetcafes in virtually every town on the map. There
are a lot of types of transportation available: from the level of traveling
across the country to the level of traveling locally you probably will need
airplane ((inter-)nationally), train, bus, grand taxi (an old Mercedes which
takes off when their are 6(!) passengers) or a petit taxi (small Peugeot)
inside the cities. Morocco is great for buying cheap (illegally copied)
music-CD’s: DRH 30 per CD (DRH 13 per cassette) in Casablanca.
THE COUNTRY
– CULTURE AND PEOPLE
When it comes to culture/women in Morocco you need to know two things about
the country. First thing is that Morocco is a Arabic country, which means
that Arabic is the official language, even although the indigenous people,
the Berbers, speak their dialects of their Berber language and the other
Moroccans speak a Moroccan dialect of Arabic. But don’t panic right
away: French is widely spoken and understood as well, but especially among
educated people, so the level on which prostitutes are able to communicate
in French varies a lot. English is hardly spoken nor understood though.
The second most important thing you need to know about Morocco when you
go there is that almost all people in Morocco are faithful muslims, so expect
to encounter strong muslim believes and traditions everywhere. Is Islam
good or bad for us mongers? Well, it depends on the specific local culture,
because in some countries the interpretation of Islam is good for mongers,
in some it is not. For the Moroccan interpretation of Islam on this subject,
see THE PROSTITUTION – THE CULTURE. Morocco is regarded a liberal muslim
country, but like the word ‘safe’ in ‘safe sex’ the
word ‘liberal’ is to be taken relatively. Liberal means relatively
liberal in some aspects when compared to the orthodox Arabic muslim countries,
like Saudi Arabia. I found that Morocco is merely liberal in regards of
the emancipation of women: in Morocco women appear to be very westernized
and emancipated. For more on this subject, see THE WOMEN. I found the Moroccan
people generally to be very friendly. But be aware that there are also a
lot of hasslers and hustlers around who also act in a very friendly way,
especially in the areas where a lot of tourists gather (Medinas!), but although
they can be persistent in trying to lurk you into spending money on them
one way or another, they never got aggressive and I found that if you stayed
friendly all the way they would stay friendly all the way too. Morocco generally
is a safe country. Yet there is some peculiar kind of aggressive element
evident in Moroccan culture: you will frequently notice men angrily shouting,
calling names and even slapping other people’s faces just everywhere.
Where people in SE-Asia seem to learn to never show their anger, where people
in our western countries learn to be assertive without getting aggressive,
in Morocco it seems to be socially accepted when you show some aggression
in order to express your emotions. It never goes beyond shouting, calling
names and slapping faces, but for westerners this behavior will be very
provocative or rude in the least. Westerners are less likely to receive
this treatment though. Perhaps some elements of this “cultural aggression”
lie underneath the very persistent way of begging and bargaining though
as well: you will find that Moroccans don’t easily take a no for an
answer. All in all my impression of Morocco is quite similar of India: the
same kind of distinctive, colorful and traditional culture with similar
type of scattered extreme poverty, traditional clothing and way of life
as well as similar persistent, moneysucking attitude towards westerners.
THE WOMEN
The Koran states that “a good woman is obediant and invisible”
which seems to be the main source of the “oppression of women by Islam”
or at least the reason why in most Islamic countries women must stay at
home and can only leave home when they have to and when they have maximally
covered their bodies. Contrarily to the orthodox teachings of Islam, Moroccan
women obviously don’t need to be ‘invisible’, for you will
see lots of women on the streets and they also even generally dress according
to the latest western, sexy fashion instead of wearing the traditional Islamic
veils, particularly the young women. As a result (?), Moroccan women are
allowed to drive cars, have jobs and make careers as well. In Morocco it
is also no problem for men and women, who aren’t married or family
related, to chat up with each other (they actually seem to love this!).
Moroccan women are often beautiful. Remember, Morocco is a ‘neighbor’
of Spain and Portugal geographically and although there are some kind of
distinctive Arabic and Northern African features in Moroccan people, the
Moroccan population basically shows the same kind of mixture of Mediterranean/white
and African/black people like e.g. the Brazilian population does. In my
experience about 80% of all Brazilian women and about 40% of all Moroccan
women are overweight though, so I think that the Moroccan women are generally
a little more attractive than the Brazilian women. But I don’t think
that you are likely to gonna have sex with one of these beautiful Moroccan
women. Although a lot of Moroccan women show interest in the male tourist
(they tend to stare and giggle and sometimes they even start a conversation),
I guess they are not easy to get laid at all, but I don’t know for
sure, for I didn’t try.
THE PROSTITUTION
– THE CULTURE
I found that the relatively liberal muslim attitude in Morocco is all about
the women enjoying a great deal of liberty in Morocco. Moroccans appeared
to be very faithful people who take the Islam as their religion very seriously
though. Alcohol is still prohibited (only some bars, hotels and restaurants
are licensed to sell alcoholic drinks) and unfortunately prostitution is
deeply frowned upon and probably illegal as well. Although you can generally
find some prostitutes inside a couple of bars and hotels in the cities,
I found that the number of these establishments and prostitutes is very
small and that these establishments are obviously the most louche in town.
I found that in everyday Moroccan society prostitution is not accepted nor
tolerated at all! In most countries, including some Islamic countries, it
is no problem to ask a taxi driver if he knows a brothel, but not in Morocco!
I asked a couple of taxi drivers (in big and small towns) and they were
all totally shocked and I’m actually still happy that they didn’t
respond by immediately beating me up or dragging me to the nearest police
station. Another example: one time I took a prostitute to my hotel, because
I’ve read on the board that you must book a room for her too in order
to be able to get together. Well, the guy from the reception really got
furious when the prostitute had entered the hotel. He obviously didn’t
want any prostitutes inside of the hotel, no matter if she booked a room
of her own! BTW, I found that hookers usually only were accepted in one
or two hotels in all of the city (the prostitute will know). I had hoped
that prostitution would be socially accepted in Morocco, but unfortunately
it is absolutely not. I’ve been in Bangladesh, which is a country where
women must stay inside their homes, can only go outside when there are fully
covered in veils, where men and women are strictly separated in all public
domains and where men can be lynched for only talking with a woman. Yet
Bangladesh is way more liberal towards prostitution than ‘liberal’
Morocco: in Bangladesh there are several big red light districts where hundreds
or thousands of women are working as prostitutes and I believe they work
completely legally as prostitutes, you can also ask any taxi driver to bring
you to a brothel without a problem, and I think that most hotels don’t
care if you bring a prostitute (the hotel where I was staying actually asked
me several times if I they could bring me a prostitute). The reason for
this strikingly liberal attitude towards prostitution in generally very
strict Bangladesh is very simple, I guess: Bangladeshi muslims believe that
a good woman should be inside her home and not work as a prostitute (exactly
in line with all muslim teachings), but like Mohammed believed in exceptions
to the rule whenever the rule turned out unhealthy or inhuman for a specific
person in a specific situation (for example: breastfeeding women were exempted
by Mohammed from the obligation of fasting during Ramadan), Bangladeshi
muslims seem to believe that it’s only human and in line with Mohammed’s
teachings to allow some women to work as a prostitute, for example when
the husband of the woman suddenly died and the woman and her baby are facing
starvation when the woman, who don’t have a job, does not sell her
body. Of course, Indonesia is even more liberal than Bangladesh and Morocco
together: prostitution in every form and for whatever reason seems to be
totally accepted and tolerated by all Indonesians. BTW, in all of the world,
including Bangladesh and Indonesia, extreme-conservative movements which
are not tolerant towards prostitution are gaining power rapidly, but that’s
another story. From all this experience with liberal muslim cultures I had
hoped that Morocco would be good for mongers as well, but as I suggested
before, it is definitely not. Moroccans seem to interpret Islam in a typical
western way: emancipation of women is good, prostitution is bad.
TYPES OF PROSTITUTION
In the cities there are several types of establishments where you may encounter
one or two prostitutes: cabarets, bars, hotel lobbies and discotheques.
I have no experience of the cabarets and only very limited experience of
the others. It seems that only a couple of bars have some prostitutes, because
in most of them I found only men. In some of the bars in central Casablanca
I found 1 to 4 prostitutes from about 9 to 10 p.m. (the bars seem to already
close at 10 p.m.) and in the lobbies/discos of some major hotels I found
5 to 20 prostitutes from about 8 pm to 2 am. BTW, in Morocco every woman
in a bar doing nothing but drinking can be considered to be a prostitute.
The quality of the available women is as low as the quantity. Most prostitutes
are somewhat older (from about 25 to 50) and (really) fat. Occasionally
you will encounter a rather good looking one though. But I found the attitude
universally bad among both the bad and good looking whores: in my experience
they were all very rude and moneyhungry. Every prostitute I met obviously
only showed interest in my money and obviously didn’t give shit about
me. Every prostitute I met begged for money, more money and even more money
ALL the time: they demanded that I paid her drink, the drink of her friend,
the taxi for her friend, her taxi, her sick father, the drink of another
friend, her sick child, and so on and on (the begging and nagging really
never stopped). Also they were 100% liers: every word coming out of their
mouth was obviously a stupid lie and an insult to my intelligence. The Moroccan
prostitutes actually made me start hating prostitutes! So obviously I didn’t
enjoy meeting the prostitutes in Morocco. Therefore I have actually fucked
only one whore in all of my trip: see MY SINGLE SEXUAL EXPERIENCE WITH A
PROSTITUTE IN MOROCCO. Despite of my very limited experiences I am quite
sure that the prostitutes in the cities in Morocco won’t have sex without
condom: many will tell you they will go bareback (as they simply tell anything
you want to hear), but from the experiences and conversations I had in Morocco
I know for sure that at least EVERY prostitute in Morocco expects you to
use a condom, which in combination with the very bad attitude means that
IF it is possible to get bareback sex at all you are surely gonna pay A
LOT of money for it (perhaps at least several US$100’s?). The prices
the whores quoted varied a lot, from about DRH 300 by the average low class
hooker in the louche bar to DRH 3000 by the hookers in 5-star-hotel Sheraton
in Casablanca. But because the Moroccan hookers turned out to be actually
more cheaters than hookers, you never know how much money you really gonna
lose: in Morocco you always have to pay the prostitute upfront and like
the prostitutes in Western Europe, the Moroccan prostitutes do take advantage
of this. So after you have made your deal and paid the prostitute, the prostitute
is very likely to break the deal and demand more money and/or provide very
bad service. Moroccan prostitutes turned out to be even worse than the European
prostitutes: every prostitute I met in Morocco broke the deal after being
paid and refused to serve well and demanded more money during getting it
on as well as afterwards. This kind of demeaning and frustrating business
is exactly why I have turned my back to the prostitutes in Western Europe
and therefore exactly why I will never return to Morocco as well.
But from reading the reports on WSA I kinda already knew in advance that
the prostitution in the major cities in Morocco was hardcore and not worthwhile:
I was merely on an adventurous trip to find the ‘magic mushrooms’
in the hidden Berber villages in the mountains! I happened to had stumbled
upon the names of two villages in Morocco in a newspaper in advance: ‘Aïn
Leuh and Driouch. I had read that a lot of Moroccans went to these two villages
to have sex with young women. When I was in Fes I met a “faux guide”
(illegal guide) who was able to add the village of El Hajeb to the two other
villages. According to him these villages contained huge red light districts
in the centers of towns full of young prostitutes who would not charge more
than DRH 50 (if they charged any money at all). The prostitutes would only
accept muslims though, so I had to tell them I was circumcised and I had
to wear a jellaba (a traditional muslim dress). So I bought a cheap jellaba
(DRH 120) and went to Aïn Leuh. See what happened in the text below.
CITIES AND
TOWN I’VE VISITED
Casablanca
I spent three nights in Casablanca. I primarily looked for the street hookers
in the center of town, but I didn’t find a single street hooker (I
only found lots of drug dealers, beggars, criminals and other hasslers).
I have been in about 7 bars which were promising because they had a beer
sign outside, but only in some of them I found one or more (very ugly) prostitutes.
One time I did see one okay-looking hooker in one of the bars, but another
(Moroccan) man appeared to already pay for her drinks. I checked out the
lobby/bar and disco (Ceasar’s) of Hotel Sheraton: quite a few prostitutes,
some okay-looking, but outrageous prices (DRH 50 for a beer and DRH 1500-3000
for each of the women and most of these women were even ugly!).
Rabat
I spent two nights in Rabat. I only checked out hotel Balima. About 10 prostitutes
in the lobby around 9 p.m. All of them seemed to be in their 20’s.
Only one showed interest in me, but I didn’t take the effort to get
in contact with her (it is a little bit difficult to get in contact in a
somewhat discretely way, because there are always Moroccan men hanging around
these women). Around 12 p.m. there were about 10 prostitutes in the bar/nightclub
as well. Only ugly ones, low class, very seedy (one asked for DRH 500, agreed
on DRH 300, but we couldn’t find any hotel which accepted her).
Meknes
I didn’t look for any hookers in this town.
Fes
I spent two nights in Fes. I checked out a “seedy” bar (seedy
according to Lonely Planet), but I didn’t find any hookers. Only in
the bar of hotel Sofia (seedy as well) I found about 8 hookers. None of
them was really attractive and the most attractive one didn’t want
to talk with me. Her friend showed interest though and for DRH 300 (she
asked for DRH 400) we went to Hotel Central, which is the only hotel in
Fes where prostitutes are accepted. The hotel charged DRH 200 (2 times the
room rate of DRH 100) and the taxi driver who brought us there didn’t
accept my D20 for the 2 minute ride (the regular price for such a short
ride should be DRH 5) and demanded DRH 100. We argued a long time, but because
this was a really cheap holiday anyway I decided to give in a bit and finally
agreed on DRH 70 (ridiculous price anyway). In the hotel room she wanted
the money upfront. She didn’t want to kiss and when she took a condom
I told her that we had agreed on bareback sex. She said that she wouldn’t
do anything without condom, not even a blowjob. Then I told her that in
that case I didn’t want to go any further and that she should give
me back the money. She said ok, but while she acted as if she was gonna
take the money she suddenly ran out of the room. I could hear her running
until she was out of the hotel. Why wasn’t I surprised that this happened?
El Hajeb
A village between Azrou and Meknes. Should be full of prostitutes as well,
but despite walking throughout the (quite extensive) town I didn’t
find a trail of prostitution anywhere. When a young man begged for D50 (he
said he wanted to buy cigarettes) I thought: perhaps this man is willing
to bring me to a brothel in order to get the DRH 50, and he replied that
he was. When we had walked for a while he said that he wouldn’t show
me the women if I didn’t give him the DRH 50 now. I expected him to
run away after I paid him, but because I was sure that I wouldn’t find
any hookers without his help, I gave him the DRH 50. And I was right: he
immediately ran away with the money…
Driouch
A town in Northern Morocco and should be full of prostitutes too. I found
the town very depressing: there were only muddy roads, very large empty
squares and a lot of garbage everywhere. People spoke better Spanish than
French here. Some spoke a little Dutch or German as there are a lot of returned
emigrants here. But again I didn’t see anything that looked like prostitution.
On the way back to Fes the bus had a technical problem: we had to wait for
6 hours in the middle of nowhere. When we finally were on our way again,
the bus was stopped three times by the police who checked the bus for drugs
(there is a lot of kif and hashish produced in Northern Morocco).

MY SINGLE SEXUAL EXPERIENCE WITH A PROSTITUTE IN MOROCCO
When I was introduced to Hayat, she talked business right away: how much
did I pay for sleeping with her? I had heard that Moroccans pay about DRH
50, so I thought that DRH 100 was a good price, which was accepted. I can’t
remember who I paid the DRH 100. The girl who introduced Hayat also wanted
money: I gave her DRH 20. I didn’t expect the prostitutes in this kind
of isolated Berber mountain villages to be condom-conscious, but she definitely
was: she wanted to take and use a ‘capote’ as she called it and
only after I assured her that “je n’ai pas une maladie”,
she accepted sex ‘sans préservatif’. The sex turned out
to be really good: she french kissed and had a tight, ok-body with a shaved
pussy and rather big tits. She didn’t ask anything about my religion,
but because I didn’t want to take the risk of getting rejected when
she would find out that I was not circumcised I decided not to offer her
my cock for a blowjob and only under the sheets I took off my pants. We
had passionate sex in several positions. She didn't want my dick into her
ass though. Finally I blew my load inside her cunt which must have been
a huge load (the production of four days!). During the love making I had
told her ‘je t’aime’ which was nonsense of course (hé,
I am a man, so what did you expect!). But I soon regretted this, because
she kept talking about our mutual love: she wanted me to marry her and take
her to Europe. But when I finally left she said that the DRH 100 I had paid
was for the house only and that I hadn’t pay her yet. I felt somewhat
cheated, but because the sex had felt so good and because she would probably
be the only lover I could find in Morocco (she indeed turned to be the only
lover I could find!), I again decided to give in. I wanted to give her DRH
100, but I had only a DRH 200-note left, so I paid her DRH 200. I told her
I would come back the next day and that I would pay only DRH 100 then.
The next day I returned to this house. The girl who had brought me Hayat before said that Hayat was out and that I should come back another time. I hoped I could find some more hookers in this town, but I didn’t find any more hookers. When I returned two hours later the girl told me that Hayat was actually out of town, but another (older) woman, who turned out to be the ‘madame’, told me that Hayat was in town, but then she asked me with some evident mistrust if I was circumcised. I lied that I was. Then Hayat was brought in (so the circumcision issue was an important matter for these people after all!). Hayat didn’t ask questions at all other than if I loved her and if I wanted to take her to Europe. I had another great sex session with Hayat. After some fucking I decided to try to get some blowjob anyway, so I shut off the light and offered her my dick: she refused and I wondered why (because of muslim believe or because she felt my dick was dirty from fucking her very wet and juicy cunt?). When we were done the older woman entered the room again. She wanted money for the house. She didn’t accept my DRH 50, but wanted DRH 100. When I had paid her DRH 100 she wanted more money but I refused. Hayat had told me that actually the money was split between the ‘madame’ and herself. But I felt generous and after the madame had left I paid Hayat DRH 100 as well. She was grateful for it and to my surprise she didn’t beg for more. All in all, Hayat had provided me a good experience.
