club 117 it was explained to me last night what the secret hand shake is... if you, when shaking someones hand take your middle finger and scratch the palm of the person you are shaking hands with... that means you are activo. So when the garoto shakes your hand they are trying to figure out which side of the coin you flip on. who knew the boys said this is more of a Rio thing than a Brazilian thing.... they had a good laugh when i asked about this...so i am happy to be in the know now... i am still not sure if they are pulling my leg. but i tested it out on 3 garoto, and they all smiled :-)

The day started out very nice and cooled down and then it rained...And rained..And RAINED.... All good...I got to get over to Impanema before the rain him and met up with my very Brazilian friend who is going to take me to a Samba school and some gay club in the suburbs later....Let's see how that goes... I got to 117 around 4-4:30...Already a lot of action, there were definitely more clients than boys but I knew that would change before the night was over because of the weather.... Some guys that I saw on Wed and Thursday and Friday....a few more faces.... When I left the total count was 57 boys and around 72 clients....The sauna scene in Rio was better than Le Boy..…

While Im recuperating and letting my legs relax....Ill post about my first full day in Rio... I got in yesterday and did the standard, walked up and down the beach a few times before heading to the saunas.... I decided against Meio Mundo but may try that one out today.... 117 was jumping, plenty of hot guys, very sexy....the general consensus is that there were a lot of OLDER clients.....I mean really old and the ratio of clients to boys may have been 1 to 2....maybe 15 clients to about 25 boys at its height...I got there around 4:30 and stayed until 7 when I started to be very bored... Had one session....extremely hot and married.....amazing body and ass....will post…

I arrived at 117 about 6 pm on Friday.....Already live....I stayed until about 8:30 and honestly should not have left so early....More on that later.... Throughout the evening, the bar/stage area and the outside patio were packed with boys and clients... The majority of the clients were locals and regulars, you could tell because they were not bothered by so many hot boys walking around in towels or taking them off in front of them....throughout the night before I left the height would bave been about 40 clients and maybe 50-60 boys....I meant to ask the guy working the counter how many boys showed up but decided against it....Some of the clients came just to get a quic…

Actually the title should read "ONE of my favorite Guys in Porto Alegre!" Mikey is a really nice guy, kinda quite when you first meet him, but a lot of fun, and just all around good guy. I met him about 2 years ago when he was 19. I see him every time I go to P.A. For those of you who want more details... he is a Good Kisser, has a big thick dick!

What companies have people used for calling/sms/data on a cellphone? Tim? Claro? What has been your experiences?

New York, Washington, San Francisco are just some of the cities on her tour. It will be interesting to learn her plans for resolving Brazil's poor economy and Brazil's current state of affairs. Check out this article: http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-rousseff-starts-first-official-visit-to-the-u-s/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheRioTimes+%28The+Rio+Times%29 After I read the article, I was surprised that her agenda with Obama is to discuss "climate change" and some other issues such as beef, investments and a few other issues related to trade agreements. Considering all the problems in Brazil, I cann…

I was at Lagoa a couple of times this week and last, as often as I could between other commitments. Some low and highlights: Emerson - he is an older black gentleman, well, older for the trade, probably in his mid thirties. he is bald, hairy and very muscular. I remembered him from a few years ago as a particularly good experience and was at first happy to see him again. I found out later the other gp's gave him the nickname "chiclete" (chewing gum) because he tends to stick to customers. boy is that accurate! after an OK programa where he topped and did lots of other great stuff, I could not shake him. first he wanted to stay in the cabin, then he wanted to stay at my…

A few months ago, Tomcal, this site extraordinary curator, introduced us all to his then boy-du-jour Alex Surfer-Boy to overwhelming acclaim. I recall some members begging for his contact, others inquiring the days he could be found at Point 202 and so on. It didn't last long because Tomcal, to overwhelming disappointment inform us all that surfer-boy could no longer be found at the saunas. Well, it happens that I found out of his whereabouts, and yes, you still can have him! He is alive and well and surfing (so to speak) in Sao Paulo, just click the link below and book your flight. (if it the link does not work just copy and paste on your browser). http://www.malicia.…

Last week the unemployment figures were released for May: Expected job losses at around 65,000. Actual number of firings 116,000. Yesterday on the news here a government organization that tracks these things had an uptick in the unemployment rate to 6.8% from last month's 6.3% and they released a prediction that it will get worse by the end of the year, reaching a figure of 8% unemployment. And that is the official figure. Actual is higher. Even worse was the explanation given that as this is a socialist country with salary, pay and fee scales for everything includ…

Rio 3 weeks I just finished week 3 in Rio (i also did a weekend pop down to Porto Alegre) As reported by other posters, crime is up; I have yet to see this. But I have my guard up, and not walking around stupid. I am paying attention to who is around me, and walk along the curbside, and avoiding dark streets, and no midnight walks along the beach. The walk from General Osorio metro stop to my hotel at night has been fine, and I have yet to feel any danger. I have taken Iphy's advice to heart, and have no gold chains on, no watches, no cell phone, one pocket full of small bills, (mugging money). But I see everyone on the metro with their phones, and watches, and gold…

During my 3 week vacation i got down to Meio Mundo twice. Both times i did not like it. It has gotten dirtier over the past several years. the place smells of cat piss. upstairs bar is still nice enough, and the garotos are much different then the garotos at 117. locker room for the clients. please tell me why the large TV room is there as opposed turning it into a large locker room for us. it would be nice to have a chair to sit in getting dressed, and a full locker to hang the clothing, I do not like that the boys sit in the room and watch which locker we are using, and what we are putting into the locker... i know its Murphy's law. but when i checked in, the other …

I spoke to one of the sauna owners today and he said they are looking at how to cut costs because business has slowed down so much the past couple of months. He said local customers who comprise 99% of their business base, have cut back their sauna visits substantially! Many have been laid off or had their hours cut. They don't have the extra "fun" money. I had mentioned before that Foreigners comprise a small fraction of a sauna's total revenues. He didn't say they are in danger of closing, just that they had to really watch expenditures. The silver lining in this is there are more guys showing up in the saunas to earn extra money. I did hear from a good source …

117 Jackpot Saturday night! I have just finished up a 3-week vacation in Rio and a “Tomcal” weekend to Porto Alegre) Club 117 Monday closed Tuesday very active Wednesday a drop off to 25% of Tuesday Thursday a drop off to 50% of Tuesday Friday about 75% to 90% of Tuesday Saturday very Active Sunday same as Wednesday Last night: (Saturday) the place was jumping, lots of new garoto, a very full house. Slow at 5pm, but by 8pm full SRO! Note: some nights for research I would arrive before 5, the club is very slow; it does not start to fill up till after 6pm, so no great need to rush here from the beach to be here early, 6pm is fine. But Iphy is right some garotos …

I have always stayed within walking distance of Pointe 202 and always took taxis to 117... Can some of you tell me the best ways to get to these saunas as well as Meio Mundo? I am staying in Copacabana so I can still walk to Pointe but want to be able to spend more money on the boys so looking at ways to cut transportation costs.... Thanks in advance....

It seems like Brazil is the south american escort capital & Spain is the European escort capital. For those who have been to both, which one do u prefer and why? SPAIN PROS: Safer more diverse escorts: cuban, brazilian, Mediterranean, morocans, african Madrid & Barcelona are easily connected Huge on line selections on gayromeo & telechapero Like soccer, it looks like the top of the top brazilian escorts ends up in europe cheaper (when including the trip) BRAZIL PROS: Huge sauna scene where you can sample, no catfish. Brazilians are a very ddiverse people on their own. More affectionate lovers. rio & sao paulo are massive cities. they give …

This company is also major contractor for the 2016 Olympics as well at Miami Intern'l airport, this is definitely getting more interesting! Updated June 19, 2015 7:13 p.m. ET SÃO PAULO—Brazilian officials arrested the heads of two Latin American construction giants, alleging they helped to mastermind a cartel that stole billions of dollars from state-run oil company Petrobras with the help of corrupt politicians to whom they paid kickbacks. Friday’s arrests are an exclamation point to a wide-ranging graft probe that has shaken Brazil’s business and political establishment for more than a year, now ensnaring the chiefs of Odebrecht SA and Andrade Gutierrez, who stand …

Massage man at 117, Who knew a diamond in the rough? Wednesday night “Hat” or was it Hatay” can never get the names right. The massage man at the club 117, dressed in white, and with a smile on his face…. I was a slow night against the wall at the top of the grand staircase of dreams. I was sight seeing, and he came over to talk… well he whipped out his phone and showed me some self pix, turns out he is also an extra in movies, and does stunt work. Then he showed me his personal video hard and happy. Now why would he have that on his phone? He is 50, with wife and kids, and does massage work and film work. he motor bikes to work Needless to say I booked a massage fo…

Hey guys....getting ready for my first trip to Rio in over a year...I want to find out if this info is still pretty accurate in regards to the saunas in Rio.... Meo Mundo - Toweless nights are Monday, Weds and Sat. BTW, for those who havent' been there, toweless nights means the boys not the customers! :-) They are closed on Sundays.
