Latin America Men and Destinations

I haven't posted here or been on line at all as my internet service provider went out of business. But I am now reconnected and some interested reading recently. Came back from a glorious, wondrous trip to the Lencois Marenheses. I can recommend it to anyone who is young enough to take the dryness and heat. Me, with my heart condition could not. I'll post photos soon. I spent 7 of the past 10 days(until Wednesday July 16) in either the ER or Cardiac ICU unit at Hospital Sao Lucas. Basically died on Sunday of this week. I have been ruled out of action and no longer can use either saunas dry or steam. Which sucks as I have both in my home here as well. So problems, and …

went last night... Friday July 11 dead, slow, and bingo night! i had a great night, did massage and had fun! but where was everyone... even the garoto's were talking, it was a perfect night to go out, warm, no rain, no event in town, but slow. T

My brief visit to Sauna Lagoa last night disclosed the following: 1. The sauna was "very good" in that it contained many handsome garotos. 2. The ratio of clients versus garotos was roughy 2 - 1 with garotos being the higher number. 3. Rodolfo (the owner) reinstituted a modified version of his previous cash or debit card reduced entrance fee. What he did was reduce the entrance fee (beginning last night) to R$40 provided the client pays with cash (no debit cards). If any other form of payment is used, the entrance is R$60. 4. Rodolfo did not reintroduce the cash only discount because he is a nice guy. He did it because he had to do something to entice clients t…

As if the Brazilian economy could not get any worse, Mercedes Benz announced that 2,000 workers are to be let go from its Sao Paulo plant and will join the ranks of the unemployed. http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-business/mercedes-benz-plans-2000-more-layoffs-in-sao-paulo-plant/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRioTimes+%28The+Rio+Times%29 There is no question that high unemployment is tragic for any country. In Brazil it means there are many more young guys out of work and many will seek the saunas and the hustling areas of the streets to sustain them until they are back at work. The ancillary "silver lining" is tha…

CNN : Hotel Fasano, Rio de Janeiro(this is where Madonna stayed with her Brazilian boytoy) For a unique angle on Rio de Janeiro's hotspots, head to the rooftop infinity pool at the Philippe Starck-designed Hotel Fasano. The panoramic view stretches over legendary Ipanema Beach, the surfing area of Arpoador and the double-peaked Morro Dois Irmãos. Guests can also take in the view from the steam room and visit the rooftop fitness center and bar. The pool is for hotel guests only. Rooms start at $820 for a courtyard view.

Randomly searching airfares for October, I found that both Delta and American have specials for October RT to Rio.... Delta has direct flights from Atlanta American has an easy connection in MIA Looks like I will be in Rio for Halloween and New Years this year

full house at point last night free rooms do bring out the crowds more garotos then clients, 5 garoto's from 117 in house about half the crowd left after 8pm The New Point black T shirts have arrived for the workers, and the place is well staffed. the rooms... not as nice as 117, but then again they were free last night. sadly first room some one had taken a dump in the toilet, and it smelled so bad in the room we had to go down and change rooms...OMG it was bad. in the 2nd room....light broken, and for the Garoto, the video stopped... poor thing. mattress so hard and sheet so thin whats the point... BTW watch your towel... lol, in watching the coming and goings. …

My new years vacation has already been planned with Rio from December 27 to Jan 3rd. Do you guys suggest going to Salvador Bahia on Tuesday to Wednesday OR Friday to Saturday? I know there is a lot going on in both cities but I want to have the most fun in both cities as possible. If I go to Salvador at the end of the week...Ill get to go to 117 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs and celebrated New Years in Rio...either way Ill be in RIo for New Years.... Just need some feedback from some guys who have been to both cities...

I just got an e-mail advising me that American Airlines is selling tickets from Los Angeles to Sao Paulo for $574.00 - round trip - including all taxes. The taxes usually are around one hundred dollars, considering the Brazil exit tax. This means that the fare to the airline, round-trip, is only about $474. Can it be the fares to Brazil are cheap because the airlines got so many cancellations for Brazil and there are lots of empty seats? There has to be a reason for the fares to drop like they never before were. Here is a link to the latest fare discussed above - http://www.theflightdeal.com/2015/06/25/american-574-los-angeles-sao-paulo-brazil-roundtrip-including…

I just got in from an amazing time at P11 ( sometimes known as Planetario XI). I walked in around 6 pm, guided by the wisdom of others on this site who suggest that this timing is key for the local clientelle on the way home to the wife and kids. As soon as I walked in the door, I was identified as an American and the sharks were circling. One in particular appointed himself my guide to the club. He again, I had been warned by the veterans. It didnt help. I have a weakness for big-dicked mullatto bottoms and this guy, Neto, had been in my dream since I hit puberty. Careful not to get taken in as a rube, I bargained him down to 80 from the 100 he requested. And, I whispe…

Sunday night, at 117, very slow, but people came and went. graoto not happy at lack of work. Not for nothing 2 new faces... same old lines, they did not know i had been around for a few weeks, so to them I was a new Gringo... even with lack of work... the first number out was 200, so i just said no thank you. 200 was for basic, and 300 with bells and whistles! I still found fun, and for me a very relaxed night. Monday night point, a nice brake from MM, no MM shirts on display, all back to normal dress. 2 mature garoto workers were there, i first thought they were clients, but nope they were garoto, 1 was 40 the other 38, but a full range of all types were there. over …

I just returned from a pleasant visit to Sauna Fox and would like to share. Planetario 11, the other, larger garoto sauna in Salvador is like a San Francisco Bathhouse that also has rentboys. Sauna Fox, by comparison, is like the clubhouse of a suburban golf club that also has rentboys. The Facility: Sauna Fox is nicer, brighter and better maintained. Imagine a large one story ranch house, with a tented patio and surrounded by a high wall. You enter through the bar/restaurant, where decent drinks and clubhouse type food are available. There is just one locker room where clients and the guys all dress. There are legit massage tables and rooms. As you go deeper into the …

a very busy Saturday night at 117, not SRO, but a good number. ok drag show, and 3 male strippers.

Anybody visited Salvador? I planned to go for a day or two on my next visit to Rio and wanted to get some points of interest and which saunas to go to.... Any suggestions are appreciated....

The many troubles in Brazil have a silver lining, somewhere along the way. That way is in the form of a favorable exchange rate for Americans (and certain other foreigners).

a nice full house new garoto who is a thai boxing expert/personal trainer. in town for 2 weeks to take classes in P.T. His ass is so round and strong it could crack walnuts. nice! and is learning english!!! the 3 garoto's that were at point last night were back at 117. a nice happy group tonight, the garrote's were very talkative. T

Lots of staff MM T Shirts, and i think i know the boss of MM, and if it was the face i remember, he was there also! the drag queen announced the change of owners and called it THE NEW POINT did her Liza act, followed by 1 stripper... maximus? the place was busy, and only 2 faces i know from 117 where there. maybe around 40-50 garoto maybe 30 to 60 clients, but then it looked like a bunch just came for the show, and hung out and drank.. no party for the new point. well the place and layout is just as i remembered it, i have not been back in 6 years, i prefer 117 i did like that the garoto towels are in red, and ours are in blue... But the place is a pit, and a…

Came back to rio for 16 more days. Last night Tuesday the joint was jumping, so many new faces that where not here a month ago...once again SRO, and the hallwall of fame was full, at one point it became lined on both sides, an interesting gauntlet of garotos to run.... The grand stairway to heaven had a waiting line 45 min long (around 7:30). i hate waiting for a bus, i don't know about you. Its the same at ski resorts when the lift line is longer then the down hill run. I talk to my amigo about point and he had not heard that news, but was pleased to hear it...he nodded his head, both of them, and thought about it, and smiled... i asked him about the new place, and h…

All, Now that I have my airline ticket, I need to work on getting my visa. I noticed on the application that they ask for a Brazilian contact. Since I'm am planning on renting a place from airbnb rather than a hotel, what is the best way to fill out this section? Do I have to wait until I have all my lodging done before getting the visa? Do the renters of these places find it alright to list their places on the application? Also since im visiting multiple cities to i need to have a contact for each place? Any suggestions/thoughts would be helpful.

I read that I should probably NOT visit Meio after the point....I had already gone.... HATED IT....Too far out of the way for tourists...If I was a businessman who worked in downtown Rio, I would probably love it to go get a nut before heading home to the suburbs to the wife and kids...as a tourist, I personally don't understand why anybody would go past two perfectly good saunas to go to this one.... I didn't like the facilities or lack of facilities and wasnt feeling the scant amount of guys that were there...I got there at about 5 PM and instantly wasn't feeling the whole set up of where there lockers AND No ambiance.... I don't want the regular looking guy off the …

Anybody know if he is still escorting? Met him last year in Europe and last I heard he went back to Brazil? http://gaysgostosossexo.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/enzo-villani.html

I will be heading down in a few days. Can anyone recommend a guide in SP or in Salvador? I only have a few days and I want to make the most of them. I also dont want to disrupt the market by overpaying. What is the going gate for Salvador?

Boytoy friends- Im wondering if any of you has experimented, in Brazil, with a male/female couple? Given the apparently widespread bisexuality, surely such encounters are on offer. Aren't they? Do you start with the guy and ask if there is "uma mulher" with whom he is willing to work? Any experiences you care to share? Thanks for all the great advice so far Jay

Thought this was quite special

Im excited to visit the saunas in Brazil as the idea of shopping before you purchase appeals to me. Are there websites whose escort photos are more or less reliable? What is usually the protocol for bringing a guy back to your hotel..both with respect to the guy and the hotel? Thank you all for the helpful advice! I promise to post reviews of my trip.
