As you rightly deduced most of my time has been spent on the North Coast, but I talk to Dominicans that have lived and visited all over the island and in my years of visiting the country I think I have developed a feel for the culture. Actually I don't know what you're disagreeing with. My position is if the pressure is on and the "right" guy is around most dominican women would not be adverse to trading a little snatch for a financial favor or two. Of course this assumes that it could be done on the down low. Without a doubt the activating event for a chick would depend on her status and relationship with her family and community. Pressure to one woman is simply a momentary inconvenience to another. The point I'm trying to make is that the general attitude towards sex on the island opens the possibilities for a woman to trade on her charms as a survival resource. I suggest you take a very hard look at dominican culture. I believe what will be revealed is while the DR is a catholic country it is probably closer in application to the pragmatic approach embraced by the bishops and cardinals who tacitly supported the rape and molestation of young boys than it is to the idealism the church tries to market to its members.
