Axiom2020

Congratulations on your receiving a new position!!  Your "bosses" know who supports.  
Keep being one who thinks about others vs self.  In my reading what you posted, you reminded me of a friend of mine who received a promotion about a year ago.  And in your sending cards and other forms of positive communication and concern, that is he also.  

That's never stopped you 😲😉

Maintenance man

You are right except for Luiz Santori.

The best looking interactive boy I met was Arthur Mondero

A new club with boys in Rio but in Zona Norte ... must attract locals customers and local boys. Uber from Gloria is around 40 R$, meaning the sauna is much closer than Bangu.  Could be an interesting pick up place since boys do not pay entrance ... i might go have a look some day. I am not sure to go since  there are already so many things to do with the current sites, clubs, gay locations in Lapa as Mansão for instance ... 

Did you mean he took you to Tawan Bar first so you can pay the 500 baht off fee to the bar?

I wish to post an update on Tawan. I have spent quite a long time looking at many of the posts on this thread.
Yes, it is in a much smaller venue now. I was there a couple of weeks ago. It was fairly full, but I guess it would be crowded in high season.
I understand that there are 2 shows. Some of the guys are certainly bodybuilders, but there is a wide variety of body types. There are naked posing routines as well as fucking shows 
I was approached by one bodybuilder after his routine and he asked me if I wanted to 'off' him. I asked how much and he told me 2000 baht. He was one of the older guys, but that's what I like. I'm no spring chicken,but I work out regularly.
The total cost was 500 baht entry (including one free drink), 500 'off' fee plus his 2000. He told me that one bodybuilder charges 5000 baht and also that there is a Mr Thailand working there.
Now, to get to the crunch. He was completely honest. I had already paid him at the hotel, but for some reason I went to pay him again again and he reminded me I had already done so. He was also very concerned that he give me complete satisfaction, not just going through the motions. I love tongue kissing and he was very obliging. We arranged to meet at the nearby Mango Tree restaurant the next day at 6pm, then go to my hotel room. Surprisingly he took me to Tawan first, rather than going straight to the hotel, in order to pay the off fee, so that again reinforced his integrity. I offed him 4 nights running, the last time being the day before I returned home 
I asked for his phone number. I wasn't born yesterday and I know he's straight and that he will now be soliciting someone else, but I found him to be so refreshing and genuine that I'm thinking of sending him some money. He's getting older and told me he has had heart problems, confirmed by the manager. I wouldn't go overboard and would not expect anything in return.  BTW I have only used barboys occasionally prior to this. There was always enough action at the renowned Babylon sauna ...alas, no more. Maybe a victim of covid 
Closing point. I believe you can go to a room, for which you pay a few hundred extra baht, but it pays to stay at a nearby hotel. You also avoid taxi fares and driving time, and will avoid the likelihood of being asked for extra money to get a taxi back.
 

I am sorry to say, these dancers don't seem to ever go to gym in their whole life.

SP has lots of good museums and cultural centers, most of which on Paulista. I stayed at intercon and renaissance. No prob with bringing guys in. They won’t ask if your guest acts normal. I did see once a working girl got stopped for registration. 

I stayed in Barra....most of the guys I've liked in Rio and SP are from Salvador, so I figured I'd go to the Motherland and be overwhelmed. It was nice, but the guys go to Rio and SP and that's where you'll find them, lol

Was a nice trip, been a couple of times, but  wouldn't race back if my motive was whoring around.

You'd be bored AF hanging out with us. All we do is sit around the apartment, fukc, watch Netflix and only leave the apartment when it's time to eat. Last time we were there it was too FUKCING HOT.

He's gorgeous!  Thank you for posting the pics.

Same Ramiro. Was nice to see him at 555 on that one Sunday.  Glad he found a landing spot after he quit (or was fired? Not sure) 117. I wonder if he can turn 555 around.  He is certainly trying:

Europe was fun, but I just can’t stay away from Brazil, so for now, I’m spending my pennies here.
His name is Renan Kalany, and he has a huge following on Insta and has an Only Fans.  I’ve been an admirer of his ever since I met him in Santos, São Paulo a few years ago, as he was a friend of a friend.  When I met him he looked younger than his pics I had to ask for ID.  And that’s all I’m gonna say about him.  Here’s some pics for your viewing pleasure. I made him my profile pic because he is an intersection of what guys here on the forum like: a cute hairless young twink, who just happens to be Brazilian.  So his dick is (much?) bigger than the average Thai money boy:




 

I'm heading to Sao Paulo next week and just discovered on IG that Erick Diaz, star of gay porn in Brazil, is hosting his 23rd birthday party at a mansion on Saturday, August 5, in the suburbs of SP.
A dozen or more other gay porn stars will be there.  Tickets are 50BRL.    I don't know what to expect but I am excited by the prospect of this unexpected adventure.

It's ABSOLUTELY

true that, "it pays to be nice!" So this morning. I had to cancel an upcoming trip to SDQ. I had missed the deadline to cancel by 4 days and was hit with a $165 loss. 
I didn't bother to reach out to the owner of the property because he's always VERY ACCOMMODATING with us when we book with him so I didn't want to bother him and ask for a refund because of my canceling. 
He and I have become very close over the years and a few years ago I would send him a whatsapp message and book directly through him to save money by not having to pay the additional fees when I book through the rental site.
This was before I realized I was doing myself a disservice and was losing money because the more I spend on my spirit credit card,  the more points I get and that keeps me at my spirit GOLD STATUS and also substantially lowers the cost of our flights. 
The spirit rewards program is AMAZING, MY FELLOW SLUTS. ww don't fly to sdq every 6 weeks because we're rich. We're able to go every 6 weeks because of the points we accumulate on that credit card. 
Long story short. When I looked at my email a short while ago, I see that he, the  apartment owner,  sent me back the $165 and left a sweet little note in The comment section.
The $165 was actually his to keep and u hadn't called or texted to ask if he would send it back. Which was totally unexpected. 
I'm the type of whore who always send the owners holiday greeting texts, send random texts to see how their families are and also send birthday texts if I know that information. That ISH goes a long way with ANYONE, especially property owners and restaurant employees and owners. 
We go to eat at our favorite restaurant in zona colonial and they treat us like royalty.  I even advertise their business and properties for free on my social media accounts. 
Moral of the story: BE NICE TO PEOPLE FOR NO REASON!

-------------------------
I had the very best fuck of my life while visiting Buenos Aires during my third trip (...have been there 4 or 5Xs with the intention of perhaps going back in 2024 for only a few days.  
The man was a friend of a friend.  He came to my apartment and really, really, really "laid the pipe" to me.  The next year he and his very good friend plowed out my brain in a very torrid 3way.  My other sexual experiences during those times were had by escorts I'd hired from www.soytuyo.com and another site (name I've forgotten but it still exists.  ALL were great except for two or perhaps three, but that was all right, for my others were oh so wonderful and are still memorable.
I DON'T KNOW what the sex scene is like post COVID.  I do know overall that I liked the culture, the food, the history to which I was introduced, and the people in general.  I liked the differences between Brazilians and the Argentines as well.  In terms of men- one DOES NOT have to worry about endowments.  For the most part, they are on par with each other.  My trips include culture and sex but NOT necessarily SEX exclusively.
...still remember that now defunct restaurant/bar nightclub INSIDE.  ...oh so many hung men stripping.  I HAVE VERY FOND and indeed pleasant memories of BUENOS AIRES.  BsAs is a beautiful city.  
One of my tour guides relayed to me that I'd taken in almost all of the cultural attributes prior to my engaging his services.  I smiled.
I say, men, give this county and its prime capital some of your time.

I encourage EVERYBODY who travels internationally to get a firestick. You but it off Amazon and you need someone to come set it to where you can get all local channels back in the states.
I'm not tech savvy so you know its super simple to hook up to any TV overseas. The connection takes about 1 or 2 mins when you're abroad.
You get all local channels from back home, plus CNN, msnbc, sports and premium channels. It is amazing. You get lifetime, USA, all cable channels you get in the US.
IIt works in Brazil Columbia and and DR. We also have it here in the states, but it's a local one. It's saves us hundreds of dollars a month when compared to cable. 
A colleague told me about the firestick years ago. We switched and have been very happy with the gadget. The one from the house is programmed differently from the one we use for international.
The one from the house can't be used overseas so we had to buy one for overseas travel as they are programmed differently.
It's an smart investment for overseas travel. Especially when you have downtime during your trip. 
Order it off Amazon and search for firestick. You will need someone local to program both your home and international stick. I used the guy my colleague recommended. 
Hope this helps. 

The trip reports are long (no complaint from me); splitting them into parts works best as I read them.

OMG! Who is he? I just showed my husband these pics and he's saying to me, "GET HIM! GET HIM!" LOL!
Wait 2004? I thought you traveled to SDQ at least 3 times a year. 
My husband and i are both sitting around wishing we were there now. A few more weeks though. Just a fewwwwww moreeeee weeks. 

Would you believe, the one and only time I've been in SDQ was 2004 😲

Think it's time I went back???

Now I'll reminisce like Axiom does decades later......

I met this guy that had the bluest eyes, they weren't contacts, I touched his eyeball to check ,lol

So sweet, before social media, otherwise I feel we'd still be in touch today.....


 

Just flew back from the D.R. on United-on outbound flights both returned to the gate with mechanical issues-ultimately arrived in D.R. 4-1/2 hours late. On return arrived in Newark--waited 40 minutes for gate, 25 minutes for bags to appear.  After clearing customs and re-checking bags dashed to another terminal to catch connecting flight (near sprint) to find the gate agent telling me I couldn't board because door was closed. They sat there for another 10-15 minutes with jet bridge still attached. I had to spend the night in Newark--fortunately United paid. Bottom line all airlines can be good or bad on any given day. For traveling this summer I'm afraid it's "Buyer Beware!"

Spoiler Alert: I do not think I will have anything to report on escorts. Since my last escapade to Brazil, my libido has been down, and hiring from ads does not look appealing right now. I can share some generalities about not paid sex. The apps are not working for me on this trip. After a few disappointing experiences in DC, I feel pictures do not guarantee chemistry, and I am not interested in sex without chemistry. I am very nostalgic for the times before the Internet.
I do have good news. Street cruising is very much alive in Buenos Aires. I have been doing stuff, hanging out with my people, and hooked up twice in less than one week. When you are not hunting, you get your best prey. Once, I hooked up with a Morocho on the local underground train (el Subte). Then, I was strolling in Recoleta and hooked up with a Paulista who took me to his hotel. Both were great meetings; we may meet again if our schedules match. The Morocho and I are working, and our free times do not match, and the Brazilian is leaving this weekend. Let's see.
In the local forums, there is plenty of information about sex parties, saunas, outdoor sex, and porn theaters, but I think I will pass this year. There is also a lot of info about bars and strip clubs, but the fun in Buenos Aires starts after 2 AM, and Grampa is not up to the challenge. Anymore. I will be here until next Friday, let's see.

I have used taxi cabs for transportation for the last few years. It is very affordable if you are a visitor. However, my Airbnb is just a few steps from a Subte station this year. I cannot recommend this option enough. The city has expanded its network significantly since I moved out +21 years ago. Check the fees. (today's exchange rate: U$S 1 = $AR 260 official/$AR 490 Blue) For Subte's fees, scroll down to Subte/Premetro. The network is safe and with good signage. I am not 100% sure of the latter, as I swim in my water. I have the impression visitors would have no problems getting oriented.
Middle-Class visitors from Uruguay, Brazil, and Chile invaded the city. Everything is cheaper for them. I am unsure whether or not to recommend Buenos Aires to sex tourists, but I strongly recommend it to everyone else. The arts scene is booming with high-quality productions "in and off-Broadway." If you are an American fond of musical comedies, be aware that they are nonexistent in the local culture, which follows European standards. 
I was expecting to see fewer Venezuelans, as the crisis here is only getting worse as opposed to their country of origin. I was wrong. The city is still full of well-educated Venezuelans and Colombians, primarily working in gastronomy and delivery and attending the prestigious and free Universidad de Buenos Aires. 
As I reported in previous visits, gastronomy keeps diversifying and expanding. I am in a neighborhood called Chacarita, and Palermo's gentrification has reached this area. The options for bars, restos, wineries, and breweries are countless.
Strangely, despite the economic crisis, Porteños seem to be in a better mood than ever. People are kind, smiling, and asking how you are. This is new. The only thing that may explain this change is the World Cup. Remarkable. It may not last, as we are close to national elections, and the political forecasting is not good.

I think the reason we see less hot guys in sauna is because of onlyfans
Onlyfans took all the hots ones (Gael, Markin  Wolf and so many more)
These guys makes a lot more money in onlyfans without the need to fuck a client 

A few years back, I was in SDQ for a little over a week to partake in Independence Day and the gay tour in which I participated.  In my lookin' back, the tour pales in relation to all that you've presented during the years that you have ventured to relay your SDQ adventures to us.  I liked your last chapter--especially its ending, for you recaptured your initial trip.  You also used size 14; thus I was able to read and be "captured" from what you wrote.
My sexual exploits in the DR became diminished after I tore a ligament in my right knee.  As a group of six or seven of us Black gay men walked to a club (name forgotten and to date I think the club is no more)-- I thought about the man who'd I yearn to meet and return back to our hotel.  Well, as I walked-- I fell in a huge separation from curb to street.  ...very, very, very painful as hell.  One of the guys who walked with us, assisted me in getting back to the hotel.  The others kept walking.  Well, to make a long story short-- I WAS NOT to engage in any sexual activities from that point.  During Independence Day, we  (the group of 16 or so) took a bus to a town that was heavy in celebrating.  I could not walk with ease; thus my activities were curtailed.  ...saw lots and lots of hot men whom I wanted, but as noted in the aforementioned, I was out of sync.  ...saw a gorgeous doctor a day afterwards who helped me.  The day of our departure a cute guy stood outside of our hotel and asked me: "SEXO?"  I smiled and told him that we were leaving within an hour or so.  That's it, except my torn ligament led to surgery and my being unable to drive an auto for six weeks.  From all of your sagas, I HAVE TO RETURN TO THE DR before the end of 2024.

I visited Curitiba a few years back and would have had a great time at the saunas with GPs.  The guys were interested in meeting me, but I was not too keen on meeting them, for a super hung, gorgeous guy in Rio who was a friend of an acquaintance of mine had fucked my throat oh so deliciously hard that it was sore for the friggin week that I was in this city.  
Today I still reminense about all of this hot fun that I had inspite of  the pain that it rendered afterwards.
The guys in this sauna were upset that I could not enjoy their company.  I, too...!
