It seems that Cadu was drugged and was not totally conscious when he was taken to this hotel. I cannot imagin that Cadu decided to take such a guy to an hotel. The other take away of this very sad case, is the risk of "good night Cinderella" in Brazil and the need to be very careful with your drinks in Brazil ! "In Brazil, GHB, reportedly known as Goodnight Cinderella, renders people unconscious or in a walking blackout or at least otherwise vulnerable for sexual assault. Actually there are more than 50 drugs that have been identified in drug-facilitated sexual assault cases. It doesn’t need to be a cocktail of multiple drugs. And it really doesn’t matter which drug is used as the results are generally much the same. A victim is assaulted and has limited ability to recall details or maybe even the identity of the suspect(s). It’s really difficult to fully protect yourself against DFSA, but you need to do what you can! Drinking alone (or with friends but you are not really watching each others’ backs by splitting up, etc.), accepting an unusual drink from a stranger, leaving your drink unattended are the obvious things that increase risk" The GHB can also be given through chewing gum as in the case below : "I met another Brazilian traveller in the street one afternoon, started talking with him and ended up having lunch and talking about the different things in Rio that were interesting to see. After this we were walking and he bought a packet of chewing gum and offered me one. Having seen him buy the gum I didn´t think much of it at the time. But now I am pretty sure that he swapped it for a pre-prepared gum in his pocket before giving it to me".

Xclay, I tend to do the same and during each trip, I try to discover a new place. There is so much to discover in Brazil. Spending some time in Amazonas or in Pantanal is really awesome ... but boyless (there are a couple of saunas in Manaus). Travelling in Minas Gerais outside of the very well known cities (BH, Ouro Preto, ...) is also amazing. It is a totally different Brazil : I discovered recently the "montanhas cafeeiras" (moutains where coffee grows). Amazing ! I still have quite a lot to discover ...

You did not consider Balneario Camboriu ? No sauna but lots of young guys everywhere

RIP Kadu

Now getting a Brazilian CPF is very easy for a foreigner. Everything can be done on line and you receive your CPF rather quickly https://servicos.receita.fazenda.gov.br/Servicos/CPF/InscricaoCpfEstrangeiro/default.asp

It is not urban legend at least for 117. Ramiro, the gerente, is doing this very seriously, making as sure as possible the ID is not fake.

Last year, I went to Buzios with a boy I knew well. I was planning to hire a car. I discussed with an American friend of mine who told me that a few years ago, he was with another friend and 2 boys going to Buzios in a rented car. They were stopped by the military police who claimed that the car was not ok, that the documents were not conform, ... and who threatened to block the car and started asking for bribes. They finally let them go after they got all their money ... So I went to Buzios by onibus

I do not think that it is not respectful to Kadu to share what I learned since my first post. It will illustrate what TotallyOz mentionned above. Kadu was Brazilian, almost real Carioca and pretty much aware of the risks. After his service in 117 on sunday, he went to an hotel in Lapa where he met a boy - certainly not a boy from 117. He was found the next morning robbed and killed. Police is investigating. Inviting a new boy from 117 to your place or - worse - going to his place is not always safe. From a reliable source I heard the story of a gringo going to a 117 boy's place in Ipanema and being almost thrown through the window in order to get his money and credit card codes ... Finally, I was in Copacabana for year end and I was amazed to see how much police was there. All groups of boys and girls likely coming from favelas were systematically searched by police. It is the same for Carnaval : lot of police. When I was in Rio, there was a crime which was heavily commented, committed on a tour guide who was walking back to his place in Centro. He was killed by 2 girls on a motorbike. The whole scene was filmed by cameras. https://www.google.com/amp/s/g1.globo.com/google/amp/rj/rio-de-janeiro/noticia/2023/01/06/guia-turistico-reage-a-assalto-e-acaba-morto-a-facadas-por-duas-mulheres-no-rio.ghtml

For those who are familiar with sauna 117 in Rio, they certainly know Kadu who was a very friendly bartender. He passed away a few days ago. I do not know the circumstances but I think it was linked to the fact that he was gay. RIP, Kadu. I will miss you

I spend New Year in Copacabana. Looking forward to great celebrations !

We will miss you likeohmygod and all your witty and informative comments !

I am also thinking of going to Porto Alegre and to visit Mezzaninu in December. Mezzaninu is celebrating 15 years of operation October 15th. Mezzaninu was so much fun with so many gorgeous boys when it started and during many years after

I went to new Lagoa in Consolaçao yesterday which was a saturday. I was a bit disappointed, keeping in mind the former Lagoa location : the main room is much smaller and bar and kitchen occupies à large part of the room ; the layout of the building (4 floors) is confusing : you always wonder where you are ; there is consequently a lot of stairs ; there are not as many boys as in the past (linked to the size of the room I guess). But it is clean, the food seems to be as good as before, the rooms are new, most (all ?) with showers, the common showers are visible from the main room and it is a permanent show to see the boys showering. For the customers, there is a shower which is partially hidden. It is a shame that some boys use this particular shower ... I stayed at the Heritage hotel, which is 5 minutes walk to the hotel and very nice. Sujinho ("little dirty") is a restaurant on Consolaçao which is opened very late and which is well known among Paulistas. Worth discovering the coffee shop and the main restaurant on the other side of the street.

Has anyone information on saunas in Lisboa, in particular the Trumpeta sauna. Are there rentboys there ? What is the current rate ? Orelse, where to find boys ? Thks

A gay brothel in Cologne, Germany. I did not go there but it was mentionned to me in a recent conversation. I checked and it is still open after pandemia. Prices : Some boys look nice ! Anyone went there ? Any comments ?

I stayed there also (Villa Emilia). Quite nice and close to Termas.

Alitalia acronym is : Always Late In Take-offs Always Late In Arrivals

I started some limited list in the past, after my first trip to Brazil, but there were no many contributors ... You can find other useful words in this thread Aproveita !

Who does not like that ?

Madrid is full of snow now. It did not snow that much in the last 50 years ! Time to have fun in the snow : snowmen and more !

Hello I reported on BH as others on this forum. I had fun in the sauna Olimpo (even though there were not as many boys as in Rio or SP. But one good boy is enough. The friend I was travelling with was not lucky since he did not find the twinks he likes). I was lucky also to meet a RB who was staying in the hotel I was in (very close to sauna). I did not spend much time in BH since it was a base to go visit Ouro Preto, Mariana or Inhotim. No boys there, but nice places, worth a visit.

Lol : one year is long enough

In October 2019, I wrote a thread called "Cuba summary" summarizing what was written on this site on this destination and joining my own comments. For me, boywise, at present time, Brazil is much easier and better than Cuba

And hopefully many more bitches ? I had great time in Salvador for boys, tourism, food, ... (see report on BT). I wish I could go back to Brazil this year but now in lockdown until ? Have fun !
