The question was simply has anyone staeted or heard of any romantic relationships that started after meeting a sauna guy....I guess not

Let's think in terms of the Americanized term of long term relationship that does not involve pay for play.....

I agree that many of the sauna workers do consider themselves straight...whatever that is...but I have met some guys that were clearly gay....Regardless of if they were gay for pay only or gay all the time....my question was for anybody who had a conventional....whatever that is to you....relationship that went outside the scope of pay for play....

A committed relationship is an interpersonal relationship based upon a mutually agreed-upon commitment to one another involving exclusivity, love, trust, honesty, openness, or some other agreed-upon behavior. Forms of committed relationships are: close friendship, courtship, long-term relationships (LTR), engagement, marriage, and civil unions. The term is most commonly used with informal relationships, such as "going steady," but may encompass any relationship where an expressed commitment is involved.

Serious question here... I know that many of the guys who post have long standing situations with some of the hot saunas boys but I would love to hear is anybody has had a long term REAL relationship with anybody they met in the saunas... Not, I see them every time I'm in the city but an established relationship that was mutual give and take.... Thanks for your feedback in advance....

You are correct, only in Rio do you find so many attractive men who are eagerly looking for daddies but keep in mind that older, established gentlemen represent money and stability which in any country is sought when it is hard to attain on one's own.... Even in countries that have stronger economies, the prospect of acquiring a doting, established daddy is ideal....

Let me first start off with a round of applause for you....YOU WORK man..... I thought I got it in when I was in Rio but no 5 somes in my hotel......That may be a little too much for me... I am very happy to hear that you are having an amazing time...I hear you are generous and very nice.... I do have one question since I missed any announcements that you may have made but I do remember you posting a while ago that you had some illness that would effect your travel....Is everything well with you now? If so, congrats! Also, any pics or vids from your amazing 5 some would be greatly appreciated..I can forward you my e-mail info if needed... Again, enjoy your trip and the boys....as shall I in a few weeks....

Thanks for the suggestions...

Hey guys....getting ready to head to Rio for New Years for an extended time period....I know little changes and was just there but open for suggestions on anything off the "beaten path" in Rio.... Any restaurant suggestions or places of interest outside of the normal tourist outlets...? Thanks in advance for feedback

Attaching two links that may help you... I have heard about the Rose from a local Brazilian guy... I personally stick to the saunas to avoid any unwarranted or needed danger or misunderstanding.... Please be careful and speak as much of the language as possible when picking guys up...the same way that those old places have changed, the mentality of many guys on the streets have changed.... http://www.cruisinggays.com/rio-de-janeiro/c/bookstores/ http://listings.cruisingforsex.com/elsewhere/brazil/rio-de-janeiro-8891/

We have....we just don't choose to share that dumb stuff for critique....Some thing are just ignorant and some things happen because of youth and not knowing..... Also, Brazil is the ONE country that has made meeting boys for hire easy with the saunas....

And look on the bright side...all he got was 300 reals....what is that....75 to 80 us dollars?

This situation is extremely funny because the same rules apply in Brazil as they apply in your home country...if you have not met...felt comfortable and established solid pricing...WHY would you put yourself in harms way or even the option to be bamboozled purely for lust amd horniness whwn Brazil is known for ease and selection is saunas... I read some of these posts and realize common sense is truly not common...Not sure is people was sympathy...empathy...a pity party or just to entertain us.... I have seen that hottie in 117 plenty of times and used my best judgement to steer clear... Fellaz...use your better judge ment when in situations where money is exchanged for services....

Since Thanksgiving IS an American holiday...be thankful for life and the opportunity to spend it where you please....For those wanting authentic American food...Try celebrating in the states....Have a wonderful day

Rio is pretty much like any other country... city in the world...if you look like an easy mark, you will be targeted... I have never had any problems and I am almost too American when it comes to the beach situation...I take a book bag that has my flip flops I change into on the beach and stash my magazines, snacks, water and towels there...Ill then change out of my shorts and tank and put that into the bags....I have never, never had any problems in Rio.... What I will suggest regardless of what you choose to take it be aware of your surroundings at all time and try not to appear like a tourist.... You want to be as comfortable as possible so you should be able to take things that may you comfortable.... Try to surround yourself either with other families on the beach OR station yourself near police....Ipanema have police very close to the beaches

Great feedback.....Cuba is still not on my list until it get a little more developed/touristy...If Brazil and Dominican Republic are both developing countries, I can imagine what Cuba is like... I especially like your feedback about your difficulty finding the "Americanized" Cuban foods we enjoy in Miami....

What in the world did you eat and drink that ended up being $200 US? Or maybe the question is HOW MANY guys did you wine and dine....that is a lot by Brazil standards for a full evening out of drinking and eating.... Glad you had the time of your life though.... For some reason, the more I go to Rio, the less I tend to spend...I have noticed the trend over the years....when I first started traveling I would spend hundreds of dollars...My last trip in Oct/November I spent a lot less than I had actually budgeted for....

I'm not interested in his penis AT ALL....I totally understand small, extremely curved penises...BUT if he is as attractive as you stated, Im all for it....Cheers http://www.webmd.com/men/tc/peyronies-disease-topic-overview

Send him my way in Rio....maybe Ill look him up in Sao Paulo...I don't care anything about his penis....

Did you read the post that Tomcal posted? Now is an excellent time to purchase a condo in Rio is you are savvy...prices are at an all time low and inventory is plentiful...

Perfect time to invest if you are savvy and have a local person manage the property for you.... Excellent post....Very much appreciated

Can you give me some feedback on the Ibis Copa? I looked into that hotel before because of the price but have never stayed there...How as the rooms, distance to the beach and access to the metro? Thanks

Just go to the saunas....better than any strip club unless you just want to see guys actually dancing...you can touch most of the sauna boys and it bypasses you wasting dollars tipping... Brazil is not the US so they do not have any mall strip clubs...most of the mall dancers that perform at the saunas are straight...they may play for pay but they are more straight than the guys who are actually working in the sauna....

Suggestions for??? Pretty broad statement bro....
