THE GIRLS

Like the sound of having freaky sex with a Voodoo chick? Will then this is the place to be. Benin is the home of Voodoo and if you work your juju you can make it happen.

It’s a Francophone country but many locals speak English. If you want to score in the city it’s all about the nightlife.

Beninoise girls are used to tourists and aren’t the most liberal so one night stands aren’t that common. If you meet a local it’s best to exchange number and make a date the next day. If you’re looking for a real high quality local (better looking and more aloof) you will likely have to try and nab them off the older French guys.

Check out Crystal palace, just slip the chicks your number on the sly. There are also a few beautiful husband hunters about. But most of time at night, local girls will probably not be on your radar. Why? There are usually much better options.

There are tons of nice foreigners in town. Sexy migrants from other West African countries (including some fine Liberians and Ghanaians ans Some Igbo Women from Nigeria).

Then there is a very visible population of tasty Lebanese chicks, as well as hundreds of young American and European volunteers (mainly French and Scandinavian) .

These girls may entice you if you don’t want to shore. They’re are a few upper class African girls around, as you will read in the nightlife recommendations below.

NIGHTLIFE RECOMMENDATIONS

The weekends in Cotonou are really good with lots of options. Haie Vive is the classy part of town. Here’s where you will find the best women, but it’s dead mid week.

The next area is slightly seedier Jonquet, which hosts one or two decent spots. During the week, New York is one the best spots and always fun.

Cocos

On the weekend, this is one of the best little bars in West Africa. Located in Haie Vive, it attracts mainly young volunteers, Lebanese and the occasional Asian and upper class Afro girl looking for young white cock.

It’s tiny, but the atmosphere is fantastic. As mentioned, it’s only good on weekends when it’s got live music and a crowd. This is the best place to warm up before either of the following…

C17

The ‘in’ disco at the moment. Expect a decent mix: the crowd from Coco’s, expats and ladies of the night. Hit the dance floor and have fun.

New York, New York

You haven’t been to Cotonou until you’ve been here. Here you will find some of the friendliest girls in West Africa. It’s a shoring spot, but it’s busy every night and really good fun; plus there are some genuine girls around.

Here you will meet chicks from all over the region and some of them are sexy as hell! It’s hard not to leave with a smile on your face.

OVER VIEW

Most action in Cototou is New York New York (inside and outside). If you like it rough, you might also try Jonquet. A night club I like is the 2001 in Jonquet, although on weekends there are more couples than single girls.

There has always been some street prostitutes at the coastal boulevard and the airport road in Cotonou.

Plenty of options, massage parlours, or Bars of 5 star hotels like Hotel Benin Marina. You can even check with Moto (Zemidjan) Riders (motocycle taxi) and they should be able to help you. Only thing to keep in mind is the amount you pay because everyone wants your money.
