GREAT SEX SHOW AT CLUB 117 Rio, end of week 2, Over all, I see very little difference in club 117, as reported elsewhere. Monday is closed Tuesday is free cabin, so of course very busy Wednesday was slow Thursday was slow Friday was normal to packed especially for the show Saturday night was packed all night The drag shows are different then we see in the US, sometime they do glamour drag, and sometimes they do ugly drag. Hard to describe The Saturday night show was one of the best I have ever see. They flew in 3 strippers from San Pallo! All hot and very good! The 3 drags were of the old school, diva’s with gowns THE SEX SHOW, OMG one of the best I have ev…

I have posted in the past about Porto Alegre and the different "look" of the guys there compared to the rest of Brazil. The Pic below of Marcos is a good representative of both body type and overall look you will see there. He plays soccer at one of the local farm teams. I met he and his cousin at the sauna over two years ago. Last week Marcos contacted me on facebook and sent this new pic. the second pic is his cousin Cristofer who I have posted many pics before, dancing at the sauna Mezzininu. They are 1/2 Polish and 1/2 Italian. Porto Alegre has large German, Polish and Italian communities, and those three countries comprise the areas where many of P.A.'s anscesto…

He started to tease us with mention of a hot horny new 18 yr old at Meio Mundo, then the full report never appeared.. I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the full story.. If anyone else is interested, please post a reply here so maybe Tomcal will see us sitting here salivating, and fill us in on the details (hopefully with pictures)

Went to 117 tonight. Quite a big difference from Meio Mundo. Haven't been to Casa Creton in quite some time. It was pretty crowded from about 5PM or so. And lots and lots of clients and garotos. Lots of business going on, I think, as some garotos were leaving pretty early. So I assumed that they had already earned a bit of money. Smallish bottles of water are now up to 4Reais. Lots of cute guys. Some new ones. Some old timers. One I had been with a few times back in 2005. Every thing was very professional. Clean. Well-operated. HOT WATER in the showers. Normally, I go once-twice per week. Last couple of weeks at Meio Mundo there was no hot water in the showers. It is p…

Here's the story: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/06/26/international/i151702D16.DTL&tsp=1

I'm starting to plan my next trip to Brazil and I'm interested if anyone has has any experience in Fortaleza. My research tells me that there are saunas there with garotos. Does anyone have any hotel recommendations? Praia Fortuna seems to be the "gay beach". But, it also seems a bit off the beaten path and perhaps a bit unsafe after hours. Any other general information would be much appreciated.

Ok, by now, everyone has heard all the debates about Rio as a vacation destination. Inflation has hit the country of Brazil. Sure, things are more expensive than they used to be.. But name ONE place where things don't cost more than they did 5 years ago. While it is more than likely true that the saunas may not be "fully packed" with outstanding, beautiful available men 7 days a week, it is still possible to find someone you find attractive on most occasions, it just will cost a little more than it did a few years ago. Even if you agree to a rate of 100 Reis for a programma, that is still just $63 USD..When was the last time you got a drop dead gorgeous boy for that??? …

"As someone who has traveled to Brazil five times when it was a bargain. It is very hard to take a chance on a trip now. Higher prices all around, perhaps fewer sauna boys, although I agree it takes just one for me to have a good time. But the stories of the guys hired who were duds and ho were thieves, well, that is kind of the icing on the cake." Lucky, I can relate to your apprehension, however, your concerns are excessive, and I mean that in a friendly way. It is true, regardless of what a couple of people will post here to the contrary, that the quality and quantity of garotos in the saunas have declined. This, does not mean you will not have a good time in Rio. …

I was going through a disk of photos and thought I might post a few... First couple are of carros alegoricos from the first night at the Sambodromo. Third is a carioca on the metro going to the desfiles that same night. Next two are of the boyfriend. Followed by the toking on the terrace Finally two others guys on a different day at the pool. Fun times. Happy to be living here in paradise.

I am planning a return trip to Brazil next winter and I am interested in staying in Leblon or Ipanema. In the past, I have always stayed in Copacabana and have been happy enough with the Atlantico. I'm cheap. I hate paying more than $150 a night for a hotel...even in Rio. I also would like a place that has a somewhat liberal visitation policy in case I meet a nice sauna boy or beach boy that I would like to spend some quality time with. I don't need to be on the beach. Walking distance is for me. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

This NY Times article points out how hard it is to have a cheap weekend in Rio- unless you just want to hit the beach! $100 Rio

I am planning a trip to Mexico. This will be my first trip there in many years. I plan on spending about 4 weeks. What are the cities you recommend? Any nice gay areas? Any places I should avoid? Thanks. Oz

I was cleaning out my old desk today to make room for new office furniture and came across a old file of pics from guys I saw regularly from 2004 - 2006. These guys all went on to do porn, mostly for Alexander pictures and these photos are from Magazines promoting the videos. They were all good guys and have run into them in the last year at various times although none of them work at the saunas at this time. The first guy I only was with once, but the others I saw multiple times over the years. the last guy pictured "lukas" has been escorting in Madrid the last few years and has accumulated a few more tatoos!

Wednesday--made it here will no issues...checked into my apartment for the week.. Definitely isn´t a W Hotel, but compared to the Atlantico, it isn´t bad... Hoping to meet up with Drey for a night of fun..

In the past myself and others have mentioned that certain saunas have a majority of a specific type of guys working there. While you can find everything from thin twink to bodybuilder at all the suanas on a given night, If u are into a certain look/bodytype your odds of finding it are better at specific saunas. In going thru some of my pictures I found a couple that demonstrate this well I think. Pointe 202 in Rio is known for more Bodybuilders and "older" working guys in the range of 25 - 30+, you will still find plenty of guys under 25 and with swimmer or average builds, but if you looking for the muscled/bulked up guys who are a little older this is the place to go …

OMG! My friend told me about a friend of his that purchased a dilapidated mansion in Costa Rica and turned it into a 5 Star destination. As it turns out, the owners aligned with some folks to make it a destination for erotic adventure as well as relaxing pleasure. I contacted the owners (they now have a website http://www.crbfe.info to learn more. I was on the next plane out (just kidding, but close to it!). When I got to San Jose I was greeted at the airport by the mansions private driver who took me downtown to the mansion. Upon my arrival lunch and cocktails were ready for me along with 6 boys that were vying for my attention. I had not chosen any companions …

Today the Brazilian Dollar(real) is $1.56 to the U.S. $1.00 When I was going there in 2002 and 03 it was about $3.80R to U.S. $1.00 Recently the sauna prices have gone up for admission and room rental. It pays to go to the saunas on the specific nights they have specials, for example, Pointe has Free rooms on Monday nights, 117 has free rooms on Tuesday nights. If you do more than one guy a evening like some do ( ) in the course of a week this can add up! Here's what Pointe has posted for pricing: Entrada - R$ 40,00 = U.S. $25.50 Suite simples: R$ 25,00 16.00 Suíte Master: R$ 50,00 32.00 So if you pay a guy $70.R admission of $40. and …

If I want to arrive in first class, i have to route thru panama city, and flight arrives in rio at 6:30 am. Cant check into my apt until 1pm (people checking out that morning). What can i do to occupy time from arrival till 1pm? I can drop off my luggage with the building doorman.

This section of the board has been quiet the last couple of weeks so i figured I would try to add something to interest my fellow MER's! Plus Lurker is going to Rio soon so this gives him some guys to look for! Fabio first pic, Max in 2nd and 3rd and Yuri in the last three.

I was 18 days in Brazil; I had sex 10.5 times, the .5 being the suck cinema. The most important thing about my saunas experience is the lack of any negative incidents. Reading the posts before the trip I was mentally prepared for such eventualities, but nothing of the sort materialized. I hadn't noticed any disrespectful behavior on the part of either clients or garotos; no aggressive hustlers; no dishonesty; no promises before that aren't fulfilled in the cabin; no demands for more money; nothing that ever necessitated going to the front desk; and no threatening behavior that made me think twice about what'll happen when I walk out of the sauna. There ARE the stories I…

Foz do Iguaco: • As previously posted, IMOH – simply a must. • If you do come, it's worth going the extra mile and seeing both sides: Brazilian and Argentinian. • If you can splurge and stay at a hotel inside the NP, for immediate access to the falls, the Sheraton on the Argentinian side is better and less expensive than Das Cataratas on the Brazilian side. • For taking a boat ride to get up close and personal with the falls (including a soaking shower), the Brazilian one is better and less expensive. Curitiba: •The train from Curitiba to Paranagua is proclaimed as a great ride through jungle covered peaks with sweeping views and down steep heights. The jungle and t…

When I was done in Planetario during my first visit on Thursday, I asked the receptionist to call a taxi for me. Turned out there was no need to call, since there was an in-house guy who freelanced as a no-sign though accredited taxi driver (taxista). On the way he told me he works also as a garoto. Since he was nice looking, I said it was a pity he wasn’t inside as I was making my rounds. He – Afriano - liked the compliment. More importantly, I asked him how much it would cost me for him to take me to the airport on Sunday morning. He said 60 $R. That’s a great price, since my hotel offers transportation at 90 $R and the accredited office at the airport charges 99 $R! I…

Now that I have everyone's attention... On my last trip in November of 2009, I was hoping to see some live animals in Rio, such as the Marmosets, aka finger monkeys I read somewhere that you might find marmosets if you visited Sugarloaf and walked along the trails up there. I did, but the only wildlife I saw was a measly little 5 inch long lizard. Even did the open air jeep tour of the Tijuaca rainforest, but no animals to be seen. Not sure if it was because November was very warm and animals were hiding, or if just my bad luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions (besides a zoo) to see some unusual animals while in Rio?

Today was one of my best traveling days…EVER! The old Cidade Alta of Salvador was even more than promised-expected. It’s really a pleasure to walk around, enjoying the atmosphere even more than the churches and the colorful building facades. There’s music heard from drum schools, some small bands playing and dancing in the streets, colorful artisan works displayed on pavements, fat (excuse my P-inC) ladies in colorful carolinas, and gorgeous deep brown guys. In order to get better acquainted with some of them, I headed for Sauna Planetario 11. Someone had posted that the sauna is within “walking distance from the Pelourinho” (the historical center); as always it’s a…

Saturday night I went to bid goodbye to Brazilian saunas and garotos at Planetario, encouraged by Ihpguy’s post. BTW, I stand corrected regarding the distance; at the tourist information booth I was told that it’s ‘only’ a 15 minutes walk, as he had written in his post. Nevertheless I took a taxi, which by conincidence turned out to produce an adventure, but that’s for another post. Stay tuned. This time at 5:30 there were circa 10-12 garotos, some of whom I didn’t see during my first visit. (One of them told me that 15 is the highest number there.) For some reason these new faces were more forthcoming in soliciting clients. Not allowing anyone to dominate my time during…
