He really is a detestable person. Not nice in so many ways. Just really awful. But without a doubt, and far and away, one of the two bestest, most talented, most knowledgable sex workers I have ever encountered in my life. A true sexual animal, as well as a predator, who has and will knowingly use his body to get any and all that he can. If anyone here is fortunate or unfortunate enough to have an encounter him, approach with more than a modicum of trepidation and get ready for the ride of your life. Yours, IHOP aka FavelaDweller

The thread of the Dollar vs. Real brought back some memories. Good thoughts. Some sweet. Others bittersweet. Maybe even in milk chocolate with some fresh cream? Decades ago, I can remember when Opie came into town like gangbusters from Baltimore. Almost immediately, hellzapoppin' took over the Windy City with her bad clothes and oh-so-bad Afro. Conspicuous consumption, eating up a storm and partyin' with the Baton "girls!" As a joke, when something seemed nigh impossible, my response would always be a "when Oprah turns white. Which was so, so very terrible and oh so, so, so very racist. An ex-employee and a coke whore always would be saying "I won't hold my breath" which…

Not sure what to say. One more of the Baixada Boys. They cum, er come by bus, van and trem to sell there wares at Clube New Meio Mundo. I have been missing fooling around with him for about a year or more. I suppose he has a decent business as a painter, ne doesn't seem to be at the sauna too often. And he is much nicer than the photos. Damn camera phone. Or I think so when he doesn't totally shave himself down, which is the style here. We've been going back and forth about what he was comfortable performing. Ativo or Ativo Liberal or Completo. Is he going to kiss or not. Oral without or with a condom. Everytime I tried to kiss him he wold turn away. I knew it wasn't my …

Here are some photos of the 4th brother, previously only rumored about in very hushed tones. I have done my personal interviews with him. I have inspected him quite carefully from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. Paid special attention to his succulent nether regions. I can honestly attest that he responds quite well to oral ministrations to the rectal, taintal and scrotal portions of his very delectable corpus deliciosus. In fact as his anus was receiving a quite thorough tongue lashing, his nice 17cm manpole grew an extra centimeter in length and a bit more in girth. Oh, even firmer as well.

It was very popular a few years back because of its close proximity to Point 202. It is within walking distance of the sauna. It is also an easy walk to the beach at Copacabana. There are many nice restaurants in the area and a subway station is 1 minute walk from the hotel. The rooms are a bit old and outdated and they don't seem to spend money on renovations or remodeling but if you are looking for a place right next door to Point 202, this is the place to stay.

I just received word from a friend of mine who is in Rio...basically saying he is having a good time. To quote him, "Pointe has two feet in the grave. 117 is only busy on Tues and Fridays. Meio Mundo is the place to be,
