Certainly in danger of being accused of hijacking this thread I feel compelled to comment on this diagram.  I have never thought that a washing machine would have TWO motors in order to facilitate the agitation of clothes.  I have never seen such and so far cannot find any reference that suggests such.  Not that I am a washing machine expert.  Far from it, merely a user a couple of times a week.  However, machinery has and always will fascinate me.  I always seek to know how it works.  I think most modern washing machines use ONE motor with a transmission or clutch arrangement to agitate clothes.  
Regardless of all that, this forum seems to use many posters to agitate.

My experience at Lagoa sauna is not very big compared to the Rio saunas...
While I have noticed what sanddunes described, and which does not exist in any other sauna in Brasil (talking about the behavior of some of the elite boys), I have never had a problem in getting sex with AAA guys (when the sugar daddies are not yet in). 
I really think it is just a matter of attitude and speaking Portuguese here, really helps a lot. You should also be quite smart, since some of the guys here believe that they are way smarter then you. This is something I have realized the first time I visited the sauna. 
As someone wrote above, these guys tend to select customers based on how rich they do appear to be. Which is very stupid and unprecise as much as their idea of making business. (of course I am not speaking about all of them) 
The only time I have been "avoided" by a Lagoa's guy (first time I have experienced such behavior in Brazil.), I was asked 500 reais. I said no and the guy left with a very stupid attitude, like if he was somewhat offended by my refusal. He left the table but he remained near the wall at like 3 meters from me. So I decided to pick up my phone and to begin a fake call in Portuguese where I was pretending to place a short order for a packet of shares worth 30 million reais. I knew he was listening. 
1 minute after the "call" ended this guy came back to me asking 200. Which made me to smile and to ask him if this was because of the market reaction to some kind of sellout. I told him I wasn't interested anymore. 
Probably my 200 reais did not make any difference compared to his sugar daddy, but at least he looked a lot stupid to the guys who did see the scene, since he did lost a potential rich, finance addicted, customer. (which I am not hahaha). 

Belo Horizonte. We arrived at noon. Time to see some Oscar Niemeyer masterpieces
The conjunto de Pampulha (1940) and its church

And the Administrative Center of Minas Gerais (2003)

One of the last masterpieces of Niemeyer who was already 90 years old when he conceived it.

Axiom, we, know, believe us, we DO know. (Except 29x2=55????)
Yes, it is 6 times cheaper than in NYC  
What you don’t seem to realise, is that everyone earns 6 times less than in NYC, on average. The waitress in a restaurant. The guy working behind a desk in a bank. The local pastor. The guy that collects bins. The lady that cleans my hotel room. 
Everything is in proportion. If we were all to give US$300-350 to a garoto for 1 full hour of penetrative sex with cum (which is what it costs in NYC these days) instead of $55, the garotos would become the richest people in their neighbourhood. That is not a problem in itself, but then I can’t afford as many guys, so, no thank you, I pay the local fair price, which is a very good price for Brazil, whether you like it or not. 
And then I am generous (when I say generous, i don’t mean an extra $12, I mean smartphone-price level) to the guys who are amazing and make me feel young and sexy. 

For me it isn’t so much the dollar amount as it is not wanting the garoto to view me as gullible or stupid.  
If I choose to be generous, I want that to be my decision, and not the garoto thinking he is pulling a fast one on me.
It’s also annoying to see the same garoto later with a local older/overweight/whatever client and thinking that they are charging that client less than me.

Well,  I definitely got offered 100 the second time from a guy that I paid 150 the first.
Slow night + he knew what to expect from me in the cabin I guess. I didn't take it though, not that great a guy.

One guys offered an overnight for 200. But I paid 400 as he was cute and caring and very nice to me and I would have felt guilty to give less. 
In other cases I was quoted 450.

Rio - 117 and Point 202
-Most guys will take 100 reals for a programa.  I have been asked without exception for more if I want gozar.  I’m curious if others get goza included with the 100.  I have been asked for between 120 and 150 with goza.  
-Some guys want more than 100 if you want them to be pasivo (this applies more to muscle guys who aren’t usually pasivo).  Usually in this case they ask for 150.
-Lowest I’ve paid is 80, and that is with guys who I was on the border about hiring.  I’ve also gotten massages for 50 reals, probably because the masseuse was desperate for buisness that day. 
-Higher end guys (best looking, muscular) sometimes ask for 150 and won’t come down, especially on busy nights.  These are the guys that are in highest demand. Usually they ask for 200 with goza.  If I’m really into the guy and he won’t come down sometimes I pay 150.  I am wondering if anyone else has experience with guys who won’t budge from 150.  The most I’ve ever paid is 200 with goza. 
-Overnights.  Usually they quote around 400, but it varies.  Curious what other people are paying for this.  I’ve yet to actually do an overnight with a garoto.
Lagoa
-The guys usually ask for more in Sao Paulo to start than in Rio.
-Starting price for negotiations is 150.  The lesser in demand ones will go down to 100-120.  It’s easier to get them to come down on less busy nights when there aren’t a lot of clients. 
-Some of the top-end guys won’t budge from 150.  There is at least one or two that insist on 200.  All the guys at Lagoa also ask extra for cum. There has only been twice I can think of when they came without asking for more.
-Overnights at Lagoa: have been quoted from 400 to 700 reals.
-I’m also curious if anyone has had success re-negotiating a rate with a garoto.  In my experience it is difficult after you have already paid them 150, but then later try to get them to go for 100.  What you pay the first time is usually what you pay for repeats.

I always bring various gifts whenever I travel out of the country to give to locals, not just garotos or guys so want to sex with with. I was just taught that it’s a courteous thing to do when visiting a place that isn’t yours. I don’t breat the bank, but it gives me some pleasure to give gifts to locals that they ordinarily wouldn’t find in their country. I have never gotten a sex freebie out of it and never really cared to do so.

I always bring small presents (North American team baseball caps are always welcome), to the sauna bar staff at 117, Point, Lagoa and Fragata that I have gotten to know over the years.  I give them cash tips too and take them out for lunch from time to time when special occasions came up.  They did not return them with sexual favour nor did I expect any though I got commendation from them to boys they have become chummy with.  I also brought with me packages of those Listerine breath tapes that I hand out like candies even to those who do not need them.  I am not Japanese but I understand they have a tradition of bringing gifts (usually food specialties, in their case) from whatever places they have been visiting to friends and colleagues to foster goodwill and pleasantness in the workplace.
I always ask for a doggy bag too whenever I ate out and give them to street kids who invariably ask for money for drinks to wash down the free dinner.

I particularly agree with the above portion of the post. 
Although the area described in the post is "rough" I enjoy being there on occasion.  Most people would consider the area unsafe but I do not.   I have never had a problem in that area and I have been there many times over the years.  At the same time, I am usually cautious and seem to have a "sixth sense" for danger, but I never sensed or experienced any danger in this area.  
Every now and again, it is possible to find a "jewel" of a garoto in the area.  I have met many. 
The specific place to likely find good looking and friendly garotos is in an internet shop located near the corner of Rua Aurora and Av Vieira de Carvalho  only about one block from the park in centro (Praca de Republica).  The entrance fee is a few reais, I don't recall but I think it is about one or two equivalent U.S. dollars.
The shop really does rent computers by the hour.  However, if you walk around the shop, you will not see any women using computers.  Instead, you will find many handsome garotos sitting back at a computer with his trousers pulled down and masturbating.  The garotos are hustlers. 
If you strike up a conversation with a garoto, there are small rooms that can be used for entertaining the garoto (hustler) or you can take the garoto to one of the dozens of hourly hotels in the area.    
So, if any reader gets tired of Rio or wants a break from Rio, Sao Paulo has Lagoa, many attractions and, of course, this little internet shop wherein, it is possible to find a fun garoto.  
One more thing, the internet shop is busiest during the day, like early afternoons and early evenings.
 

Hot! 
Thanks for putting this thread back on track!

Please don’t come near me. I really don’t want to meet an arrogant copy of  “The Mooch”

Lol, I would love to hire twins!

Hi everyone. I'm in Madrid, for a couple of days. A part of some 'regulars' and a new friend-for-pay (a handsome guy from Venezuela, we met through Grindr), I visited yesterday Sauna Thermas around 18h. I have to say that the ambience was great, with many coustumers (some quiete old gentlemen) and working guys (some old, too). But several new faces: I had a nice session with a sweet guy from Camerun (fluent not only in French, but in Spanish and English). It's a pitty I could not remain longer  to get acquainted with a extraordinary good-looking young man from Colombia. Some Brazilians and Est European, as well.
Also, a nice visit. And for a short fee (5 euros) you may rent a paying cabine. Free ones are at Thermas level, not worse.
Current price in Adan is 50 €. A guy from Gay Romeo or similar apps. may cost up to 100. I do not overnights.
I hope this is of same help for foreing visitors
Bye

Here is another video made a couple years ago, both of these guys were a lot of fun, Jacksin passed away last year, at 24 of a brain aneurysm, he was a really nice guy with beautiful green eyes,  I had been with him a number of times during the past 5 years prior to his death.  The other guy is a wild man in bed first met him around 2011 0r 12,    they both made a number of films.

i found kind ot is best to set all expectations out before you go on the trip! i set a initial amount usually a daily rate i am going to pay and i gave them about 25% of the total amount on the first day so they have money to buy souvenirs or whatever! i pay all expenses, food, drinks, admissions, etc. (which is not much in Mexico!)and then usually i give about 20% more then i initially tell them at the end, and they are happy! 

Thanks Tom! 
Looks like i am fucked, then, and not in the good way. 

Unfortunately, I don't take any pics of the boys.  I'm a bit of a peculiar oddball,...once the boy makes me climax, I'm pretty much done,... I'm not interested in him cumming and I am ready to bolt out the room and take a nice shower.  The logistics of staying around, asking for a photo, fussing with the phone,...is too much paper-work, for me.  I will try to make it up to ya'll with plentiful written descriptions. 

I don’t quite understand your aversion for foreign ATMs, can you explain? You can switch them to English. Unless your bank is overcharging for foreign withdrawal? Or you don’t want any traces of your withdrawals on your statement?
Also they have ATMs inside the bank, so you know the ATM hasn’t been tempered with.
I was withdrawing at bradesco at no charge and an excellent rate. 

Love your writing style, it's fast pace and the surprise appearance by the elderly couple!... made me laugh!

I originally posted this at Daddy's Reviews in response to a question, but I almost never visit that site, and I prefer to contribute here, so here's my take on the Wet & Wild Boat Tour:
I have done the tour twice, once with a friend and once alone. The owner/operator/host is a hyped up (understandably, since I saw him snorting something more than once) hustler who hires local strippers as the crew. It is an all-inclusive (except for the tips) deal. You depart in the late morning, head to Los Arcos, where they give you a chance to snorkel for about 15 minutes or so, using very basic, ill-fitting gear (don't think of this as an actual snorkeling tour or you will be disappointed), then continue on to a remote bay with a few restaurants, where you are served lunch (also included, except for beverages). The food is plain and filling, nothing fancy, and they switch between restaurants, depending on who offers them the best deal or who can accommodate the crowd they bring, so there's no way to know where you are actually going to be eating until you pull up. After lunch, you hop back on the boat and head to a (hopefully) deserted beach, where you can take off your clothes if you want. The strippers/crew all get naked at this point, and the "foreskin shots" begin. This is the highlight for many of the tourists. The strippers insert their fingers into their foreskins, stretch them out and up into a cup shape, and the host pours your choice of liquor into the foreskin, and a customer quickly sucks out the liquor, and sucks the head of the stripper in the process. They also have strippers get down on their hands and knees, and they pour liquor down the crack of the stripper's ass (butt crack luge), and you put your mouth on the stripper's butt (above the asshole, according to explicit directions) and catch the liquor. The crowd often has to be cajoled into participating. After spending some time there, the boat heads back to the pier near Los Muertos beach.

The crew is hired from the stripper bar Antropology, and the host shows up there the night before and tries to make deals with the guys to crew the boat the next day, so you never know who you are going to get, and the crew ranges from cute to very rough-looking. The two times I have gone it was a mix of attractive, semi-attractive, and unattractive guys. They ply you with liquor from the beginning, and they especially turn up the liquor service on the way back to town, which is when they start to ask for tips--they tell people to hold their tips until the end of the day, when you are at your drunkest. I had some fun the first time I went, but when we got to the "deserted" beach, there was actually an elderly straight couple already there, which kind of put a damper on the festivities. Almost nobody got naked, although the old man very clearly stood up and took off all his clothes, signaling that they didn't mind at all if people got naked! On the second trip, another guy who was nervous and apparently attracted to me latched onto me and tried to stay by my side on the entire trip. Also, on my first trip, they had so many customers that they hired a second boat, and the cute Canadian couple that I wanted to spend some time with got put on the other boat. Your experience on this trip will vary depending on who signs up on that day. The crowd always includes Mexican tourists, as well as tourists from the US and Canada. It starts out a little timid, but everyone loosens up after a few rounds of alcohol, and by the time you get back, you are sure to have found some fast friends. The strippers begin working hard for their tips on the trip back, and I saw one letting a guy suck his dick for 30 seconds or so (and then speaking quickly and privately, I assume to arrange a later meeting), but that was the most I saw in terms of action. If you think the tour sounds fun, go for it. I don't think it's a bad way to spend a day, if you keep your expectations low. If you simply want to find an escort, it would be easier and cheaper to go to Antropology or Wet Dreams, where many guys are available.

One suggestion: they are serious when they tell people to take motion sickness meds. I did so both times. And on both trips I saw other customers sick and puking. They hand the pills out just before you get on the boat (if they have them available), but I would buy them and take them 30 minutes to an hour ahead of time just to be sure.

I have been to Cuba for a couple of times and most recently I stayed for 3 weeks in January 2018. Here is the brief report:
Weather is very nice in January. it is neither cold nor very hot, much better than the hot and humid weather in July. 
La habana:  malecon (avenida 23 & calle hospital),  cafe Toki (calle 25 & Infanta), parque central are the top spots to cruise.  Parque central in the day time, just sitting and watching young men passing by;  Malecon & Cafe Toki at night (and after midnight), typically 30+ people gathering in groups, with locals and tourists.  typical price 25-30 CUCs (dollars); there are plenty of short time casa particulars nearby, 10 CUCs for one hour.  It is also easy to find a private apartment with private entrance via Airbnb.
Santiago de Cuba: unlike La habana, there are no visible cruising spots.  I managed to find a men through Romeo, but the profiles on Romeo were very limited.  I saw a couple of gays/trans in the plaza de dolores after midnight but I didn't talk to them. there is a love motel (casa particular) on street calvario No 551, just next to Plaza de dolores, where my Romeo friend and I had half an hour good time. I paid the friend 30 CUCs and the room 10 CUCs.
Santiago is a very poor city.  One day when I was strolling down the malecon at sunset, I saw two very handsome young men with great bodies. Both are 19 years old and are about 1.85 meters.  It turned out that they were from the local lucha sport team and they had to train every day for local competitions.  I invited them for beers and we became friends.  In the next 2 weeks, I gradually learned about their lives, visited their homes, talked to their families,  helped with their (money) problems, and got to know more of their friends.  we went to beaches and discos. In the end, I managed to jack off and suck six young straight cocks from the same street neighborhood, all are 19-21 years old. The boys were willing to play as long as it was kept secret. One needs to get inside the communities to enjoy Santiago. But it requires patience, language skills and most important, luck. 
Holguin: very peaceful city.  I found a 19 year boy via Romeo. there were a couple of trans in the corner of parque centro after midnight. I only spent 3 days in Holguin but I guess, just like Santiago, there were always opportunities. 
Trinidad: I spent 2 days but I didn't find any.  I think Antigua of Guatemala is a more beautiful colonial town.
Cienfuego:  I stayed one night in Cienfuego and met a 20 years old men in Malecon ( we mad eye contacts when he passed by me). We had a good time in a nearby motel casa particular.
Cuba is a very safe country. Almost every night I walked alone in the central area and never felt unsafe, often after midnight.  I also found weeds were  popular in Santiago, but possession could lead to 10 years prison in cuba, though there were far less policemen in Santiago than La habana.
In conclusion, I have had great time in Cuba.  But offline cruising can be very consuming so I am looking forward to the time when Cuba is opening up and getting richer and when wifi is widely available to local people.  I probably will not visit Cuba for the next couple of years.
 
 
 
 
 

RIO
I used 117 mostly and tried a few on grindr. The entrance for 117 is 57, condoms are 8, suites are 40 unless it is Tuesday. I like guys here in general because they have good attitudes Except a few. My only problem was Pablo, short muscular latin looking guy. I also was busy with the guy I met last year in Rio, so we met quite a few times at my hotel. He was really sweet but also horny all the time. Never had an erection problem, kisses like a BF. So I just couldn't stop hiring him
I met with a few guys at 117 but I am not a so-interesting reviewer here because I tend to go back to the same guy. On my first visit, I met with Pablo, who after not being able to get hard, asked me to pay him at least 100. I asked without sex, why would I pay at all, but I am being nice and pay 50. Come on, we are paying the suite fee etc and more importantly the time I could have spent with a hot and dependable guy. Pablo does not understand it and had quite a bit of attitude.
Then I met with a karata guy with glasses. He spoke a bit of English so we could communicate. Also he had a really nice attitude but was not so good in bed. His name is Igor.  He has an average size, thick dick. And Can kiss but was not so good in bed.

On my second visit, I saw the famous Fernando and we had a few eye contacts but he didn't wanna do any first move. Also, I remember he said he doesn't kiss last year, so I wasn't that eager either. But then there was a guy called Douglas. A better version of Fernando in my opinion. More muscled, a bit taller than him but still shorted than most guys there. He made the move, so I chatted with him on google translate. I asked if he is ok with 100, he said, 150 but I said no, he said 120. I said, 100 for sure and I am happy to tip 20. Agreed and went up. He has an awesome body and good SERVICE attitude (he seems to take his job seriously and customer oriented). His kiss was ok but still he kissed and did everything I asked. Not to the level of a BF experience. He made it hard immediately and performed well. Yet, I wouldn't say it was an awesome sex. I paid promised 120.
Next one was a hit! His name is Wesley visiting from Fortaleza. Tall and muscled body, mixed race, beautiful ass and skin. We got an eye-contact and he immediately said hi and started kissing me. I didn't like kiss much because he was just sucking my tongue, so I was not eager. Yet I wanted to try his body, so I asked if he is ok with 100 (from my awful experience with Pablo, I decided to ask every time) He said something higher but I just left but he grabbed me and said 100 is ok. We had to wait a bit for the suit but this guy is smart! He went up to another client and made a deal. We were walking around so he left a few times but one last one we went up and I think he joined a group. Anyway, he tried to play it cool but I am not stupid lol Eventually, we went up and oh my, it was such a good sex. He is so skilled yet his body, dick, skin and attitude. I liked him very much. But when we are at the locker, he got his payment from the client who went up before us. So I decided not to tip. He is highly recommended.
I forgot who the third one was that day but I left after three. I came back again in a few days because my regular boy went home for christmas. Unfortunately, during this visit, I hired Douglas again,  but I firmly said 100 and he just immediately agreed. Again, sex was not great but I still like his attitude and body. That body itself is worth 100 haha Then again Wesley. This time he was leaving for a party but he extended his stay just for me. We went up and it was better than the last time. Again he is really smart and said "This is my gift for you" Yep, the sex was that good and he knows it. So I gave him extra 50 and this is my gift for you. I guess this is what he wanted.
On grindr, there are a lot guys you can hire. Most are for 200 if you visit them, some are for 150. It doesn't seem like the price is reflective of the quality, at least on the pictures. I almost hired on guy in this picture but was too tired that day and went home. I could have explored more but I didn't have much time to play with a fire. Grindr is just too risky in terms of finding a good quality guy. I think sauna creates an environment where boys have to act nicely and think about the repeat business.
Finally, I was also busy with tinder. I got a crazy amount of matches from really hot guys. I met with two, one had a tiny dick and another was a really good sex. Hot and typical brazilian guy with a really nice attitude and body/face to match and we had an awesome sex. He wanted to meet again and I wanted to but with the escorts and NYE celebrations, I just couldn't find time to meet again. Too bad but still have his contacts.
SAO PAOLO
I went to Sao Paolo to check out the scene. I also have some friends there so wanted to go out with them. Went to Lagos on Wednesday, hoping that it would be a busy day of the week but NO. The qaulity of guys are much lower than 117. First one was Akilis or something. Reall nice body, good attitude. No negotiation with price, immediately accepted 100. Had a great attitude but the kissing is dog is licking my lips. Can't call it kissing. Sex was bad, actually worse than Douglas, so I wouldn't hire him again.
Next one is a guy with long hair, he sometimes wraps his hair on top and some tattoos. He has some teeth braces, so eady to identify, I forgot his name. He was not that hot but I guess when the rest is not so hot, he was better than the most. We chatted a bit and decided to go up but when I asked if 100 was he said 150. This really pissed me off because he doesn't have many customers and yet had some guts to say he wanted 150 for his look. Anyway, I said no and left. Some boys are so stupid but I guess that makes sense. I went to another one, similar looking a bit taller and better face. He had much nicer attidude and said immediately 100 was good. Maybe because they were chatting after I left the guy with braces. His name is rodrigo. While he said he likes kissing, he was avoiding kissing, that moment I kinda knew it was not gonna go well. But if the attitude is good, we could make it worth so I followed what he wanted me to do: lick his nipples and suck him dick. And he got hard but when I got the condoms and it was already slowing down. And once it is inside it was just soft. Then he pulled back and tried to make it hard by askin me to lick his nipples etc and gets kinda hard and gets softer again as soon as he puts it in. He just pulls back and tries to get and put the condom and slows, Then he removes the condom and makes it hard and then it gets soft he removes the condom. It was kinda annoying because I had ten condoms and he just wasted 8 of them just like that. So I stopped him and I put the last condom on mine and tried to top him. But he was not willing. He lets me try but he actively avoids it so I couldn't get it in. Then he says mine was too big. NO! He was just trying not to make it happen. I was really pissed but still he didn't have any negative attitude. SO I asked him to kiss me and he finally kissed with some passion and I jerked myself off. It was bad. Paid my 100 and he just left the sauna, probably realized he couldn't do it on that day. But I have watched him and he didn't have any customers before me....Anyway, I still struggling to find the best way to deal with escorts who cannot deliver. Any advice would be great.
After a few disappointments at Lagos, I tried internet. Actually quite a good selection of guys. The price ranges from 80 to 250. I was surprised to see 80 and he seemed legit but just not my type. I found a guy who is 20 or so and had an amazing ass. In person he was less attractive but was willing and had a good attitude. He was a bad top but I topped him. Nice tight one, so I was happy. Paid 150 plus hourly hotel of 30. Not a bad deal yet it could have been better. I tried to hire another one but the timing was not good with my friends etc. So that was it.

Yes!... it's the moment Riobard's been waiting for... the END!
Which of course means more of the same old guff... explicit gift giving... full frontal pricing... and even more "Who gives a fuck if they've even got a name?" personal snippets...
 
 
Day 14: Wednesday - Curitiba
Today I explore the city centre... and it seems a lot more conventional... wide streets... parks and squares... not the Blade Runner set that is Porto Alegre's downtown.
 
There's a large park called Passeio Publico (I think)... which has bird enclosures... snake house... aquarium... very interesting... all free... all just walk in.
 
Next Praca Osorino - a very busy square with lots of cottaging in the public toilet... unfortunately I don't possess the currency to make that work... so I sit outside...
 
Two guys on a bench… They’re both garotos.

The one on the right approaches me - neck tattoos++ - he's called Lucas... he seems like a nice guy… he offers himself for 70R and suggests a nearby motel...
...but I've got my bag, my cards, my phone... it's all too much of a risk...
 
Last stop is Rua 24 Horas - a shopping mall which... you guessed it... closes at 11pm! 
Another homage to the Crystal Palace I think....
 
 
Wednesday Night
It's Sauna Opinião's big night!!!... and the place is teeming with rent boys...
 
The skinniest guy in the building has parked himself in the outdoor seating area.  He’s alone and looking at his phone.  I go outside.  Do the overlong stare.  He smiles.  He approaches.
 
Wellington
 
…who admits that he is active only... and, given this breath of fresh honesty, I suggest 50 for kisses... 
I suggest getting a room... he suggests not wasting my money... and he leads me around upstairs until he finds an out of the way spot... he ushers the other guys away... and he kisses well... a nice guy...
His street look is the sort of thing they're all wearing.
 
Next I speak to a guy who also admits he too is active only... Is Wednesday night Truth Night?... I can't remember his name... but he wastes no time dragging Gustavo Henrique (from yesterday) to my table.  Gustavo is keen for another payday and offers himself for 70.  We again go to a room and he does it all.
Agreed 100
Paid 120
 
And so the bar is shaping up... the clients tend to gather and chat in groups (like around a massive table)... the boys mill around, hoping to attract attention...
 
He's been sitting on a stool, rather aloof and not part of the "gang", since I arrived... he's dressed like how your mother would choose to dress you... nice shirt... nice jeans... and as I'm working my way through waist measurements, he's next!... we make eye contact...
 
Romeo
 
Yes!
…he says he's passive!...  He asks for 120.  I say 100 and more if you're good.  He agrees...
 
And he is bloody AMAZING!
 
Kisses with passion... sucks forever... and then rides me and rides me... stands and gets fucked... turning for kisses throughout.  It's like real sex.
 
His body is muscular... taut and smooth... he has a beautifully shaped muscular backside... he's unbelievable.  We're sitting there... clearly pleased to be with one another...
 
I realise the chances of finding anything remotely comparable to him are nil... so I make him an offer he cannot refuse... 500 total to come back to my hotel until 11pm (I'll need to sleep rather than worrying about his departure in the morning)... he agrees.
 
We walk to the hotel.  Buy him some drinks.  We chat.
His hope for the future is to be a body builder... is that a job?...
He has a number of problems.... I noticed that he held tightly onto the handrail and closed his eyes in the lift... he has difficulty getting an erection (which he blames on diabetes and hypertension medication that he's taken today)...
That said, he does manage to get a temporary erection later which he is overjoyed with!...
He's bisexual... has a son... works as a waiter... gets 1200 per month... he was given up for adoption at 1 because the father refused to believe he was his son... adopted by alcoholics who beat him... he left home at 14... he's totally adorable.
We chat away... he readily corrects my Portuguese... he finds it strange when I tell him he's like the best of the POA passivo boys... he says most Curitiba clients are passive so his work is limited... he asks about life in London... he seems like a small town boy with little experience of other places... he google translates to say that his job is difficult when he has to leave but he wants to stay (meaning with me!)
 
And then a marathon of kissing... him sucking me... me rimming him...
 
He asks if I'm ticklish?
I don't think so.
He's referring to the roof of my mouth... and then sets about demonstrating...
 
Every now and again when he pulls back from kissing, I see Leandro.
These guys look similar.
I feel bad for thinking that.
 
He's totally adorable.
Whatsapp exchanged.
He gets dressed.
 
Then he pulls out a knife...
 
(the pause was simply for dramatic effect)
 
...to show me the lengths he has to go to to protect himself on the streets... he says everywhere is dangerous at night.
 
Agreed 500
Paid 600 + CK One Red
 
The perfect ending.
Totally adorable.
But I don’t see myself ever coming back here.
 
 
Day 15: Thursday - Sao Paulo
 
Terrible flight from Curitiba to Sao Paulo (where my possessions are taken out of the overhead lockers to make room for people who've brought larger items)
 
And then a purposeful 7 hour stopover in Sao Paulo before the London Flight
 
Here’s my Tomcal-ian plan…
 
4.15pm Flight arrives at GRU
1hr Uber to Fragata (after ages trying to find the Uber)
6pm Arrive Fragata
8.20pm leave Fragata
1hr Uber to GRU
9.30pm Security etc
11.40pm Flight leaves
 
Yes!... all this for 2.5 hours in Fragata!
 
I don't know... this had seemed like a great plan... but I'm tired... and a 1hr+ traffic jam drive with no air conditioning has left me baking up.  I'm hot.  I don't know what’s wrong but I feel ill.
 
Fragata on Thursday has lots of garotos and not many clients.  The boys are milling round.  A few come and introduce themselves.  There's a HUGE tall muscular guy with bald head and long beard... must be late 30s... there's an incredibly FAT one who keeps waving his penis around... there are even very short guys...
 
I'm not really up to doing anything… but in the sake of seeing a plan through…a kiss, chat and photo marathon…
 
Fernando
 
has a wife and child... works as a gogo boy... gives himself a fake name here... wants to be able to buy a house... he earns about 1200 from gogo-ing... I kind of liked him because he got upset when another garoto tried to touch his hair when he was sitting alone at a table...
 
 
Wizzys
 
I have no idea if this is his real name… but he said it was and anyway it’s tattooed on his arm... he had been asking me if I liked bad boys?... “Never” I told him…. he's from Salvador and his parents are dead.
 
Leonardo
 
I suppose he was the prettiest guy in the place... he's from Sao Paulo... like the others he's active (but he asks how much I'd pay for him to be passive)... the answer tonight is nothing… he carefully takes off his chains before lying on the bed and places them on paper towels on the floor before lying on the bed... says it's too dirty.
All agreed 100
All paid 100
...but then all they had to do was lie on a bed and kiss and chat...
 
Uber back to GRU.
Much less traffic.
Everything went smoothly
 
....you should see the guys standing in the queue to board…
