Apparently, there are so many readers here, as well as lapsed members, compared to a much smaller "board of directors". But I wonder if attracting more regular contributors, even a dozen or so within LatinAmer post, would occur if themes are tighter.
I'm not sure about "tighter" themes. But I am sure about friendliness and a welcoming attitude. I am taking my second trip to Brazil in 7 days. I previously came to these forums and asked many questions before my first trip almost exactly one year ago. I was alternately welcomed, helped, and belittled. I have a pretty thick skin, so I skipped over the few posts with a nasty attitude and welcomed the people who were willing to help me, even if my question might have been answered at some point a few years ago elsewhere in the archives of this forum. Honestly, thank you to everybody who read my questions and responded politely.
Before I left for Brazil, I had been working on a report from my visits to Costa Rica, which included information that I had never seen covered in these forums. I was working on an exhaustive report, and I planned to add my own impressions of Rio. Unfortunately, I came back from Rio with a serious illness that lasted for several weeks. When I was feeling better and logged back into this site, I found multiple posts (albeit mostly from one person) complaining about people who visit this site and ask questions and then don't "contribute" in return.
I had persevered through several unwelcoming/insulting responses prior to my trip. But in that just-getting-over-a-serious-illness state, and combined with the nastiness of the continued griping, I simply decided to walk away, and forget both my Brazil report and my Costa Rica report.
I came back to this site out of curiosity a few weeks ago, in anticipation of my upcoming trip. I am excited to visit Brazil again. I welcome all the updates and reports of people's visits to Brazil. I hope to add my own in the future. I'm going to do my best to ignore the (still present) person who is the source of most of the negativity in this forum (although I halfway expect an attack in response to this post).
I enjoy reading about other people's experiences, and planning for my own trips. I'm reading the recent reports of Rio and making my own plans at the moment. I hope to add my own notes once I return. It would be awesome to contribute in my own way and in my own time without facing the withering negativity that is all-too-often seen on this site.

Google Flights will now notify you when a proposed trip drops in price. They also provide a guess as to future prices. I agree that the tickets to Rio are currently quite high, but Google Flights says that prices are likely to come down to around $770 for a round trip ticket that is currently priced at $1200 (one week stay in April). Gooogle.com/flights I have found that site to be fascinating. You can put in your proposed dates and then click on map view and see what it would cost to go to various places around the work on your dates. I am planning a weekend in Cuba in December.

I'm curious. You clearly took your phone or a camera to the beach. I have seen many people warn aggressively about taking NOTHING to the beach. How did you keep your phone safe? Did you get in the water? If so, where did you leave it? Maybe you had a friend with you or something?

Are there any other comparable gay clubs? I will be there in 4 days...

I'm not saying they are telling the absolute truth. I've seen businesses before that "closed for renovations" that then never reopened. But the fact that they announced it weeks in advance does give it some credence, in my view.

Their Facebook page announced several weeks ago that they would be closing for renovations after April 4th. https://www.facebook.com/LEBOY.OFICIAL/

I guess how I imagined this working was to cut and paste the list into your response, but add the definitions after the phrase. Anybody who has anything to add is welcome to chime in on this, even if you only know some of the phrases

Even though your suggestion is good, the forum user has a slight problem. He wrote in his post that he has no local currency.
It is true that he can pay the cab with a credit card. However, how can he pay the porter (bell man) a tip at his hotel?
Even if the poster has only a little bit of luggage, the porter will expect a tip. That is why I suggested getting at least a little bit of local currency.
I realize that tipping in Brazil is not the same as it is in the U.S. A porter at a hotel depends on tips as part of his salary and is one of the exceptions in connection with tipping in Brazil.
I am not staying at a hotel, but at an AIRBNB apartment. I also mentioned earlier that I will just eat the fees and get some reais at the airport. So I should be fine. I still may take an Uber from the airport, though. I will play that by ear when I arrive

I am interested in starting a thread to help with translation for some sexual terms. This will help me on my upcoming trip, and it should also be helpful for anybody who might be interested in the future. I know some people may disagree with some of the things I put on here, but know that some of these things I am adding for completeness, and not just because they are my own sexual preferences (although mine are definitely included!). I would love any help translating these, because apps often translate using scientific words (esperma vs. porra/sperm vs. cum). Thanks in advance to anybody who chimes in. Feel free to add any phrases I have missed that you would find helpful. A few translations I have already found, but I'm just checking to be sure, since this kind of lingo also changes from locale to locale, and they may be different in Portugal vs. Brazil, and there may be a better or more precise word than the one I have suggested, etc.

Enjoy...
That face-down, ass-up pic is awesome, and makes me very excited to get to Rio next week. Are any of the other pics of that guy? Is that taken at a sauna? Thanks for the pics, but would also love to hear some stories as well if you have any to share.

Assuming that Uber is working in Rio, be sure to find out where the Uber pick up location is at GIG. If you are not at the Uber location when the drivers arrives, the driver will call the telephone number that you have listed with your account with Uber. If you don't understand Portuguese, you will have a problem coordinating your ride.
Very helpful advice. I know that in Chicago there are specific pickup locations for "ridesharing" services such as Uber, but I have been unable to find this information about GIG. I even wrote to Uber support to ask if GIG has a specific pickup area, and they responded with the unhelpful reply that they are sorry, but I am not able to schedule a pickup in advance. I know that, when you land at O'Hare, the app gives you a popup map to guide you (the pickup location is UPSTAIRS at departures, between terminals), so hopefully that will be the same at GIG. Even with specific pickup locations at O'Hare, the process is still uncertain. Twice I have had drivers themselves go to the wrong place, while I wait for them at the right place. I will definitely take Uber, and I will update this with info when I return. But if anybody has been picked up at GIG and can describe the experience/location of any designated pickup area, that would be excellent!

AWESOME answer! Thank you for being generous with your time and helping me out so much. I will get some reais at the airport probably. I also looked on google, but the only articles I found made it seem like Uber was still banned, so thank you also for that link. I'm glad the garotos don't want dollars, because I don't want to carry them. Thanks again!
Ideally, you would arrive in Brazil with reais to pay for taxi and incidentals. If you know someone who would sell some reais to you, that would be a help. But, if you get an airport cab, you can use a credit card to pay the fare to town.
Even though changing money at the airport (GIG) has a higher fee than in town, the cost would not be anything approaching the cost of having a cab stop and wait for you at an ATM away from the airport. Therefore, you might want to consider getting some reais before leaving the airport.
In town, depending on which bank you use in the U.S. you will not be charged an ATM fee in Brazil. Your relationship with your bank (and, of course the particular bank) determines whether you will be charged an ATM fee.
When you use ATM machines in Brazil, inspect the slot on the ATM machine where you insert your ATM card. Look for a skimmer. A skimmer can capture your details from your ATM card. Some skimmers have a miniature camera attached which captures a photo of which numbers you use to enter your password. Skimmers are common in Brazil.
Check out this article about skimmers:
http://krebsonsecurity.com/all-about-skimmers/
With respect to paying the garotos or other services in dollars, forget about that. In my many trips to Brazil, I have never been asked for dollars by anyone at anytime.
I recently met a garoto at one of the saunas. He had a $20.00 bill an American had given to him. He was having trouble spending it or exchanging it at stores and banks. He asked me if I could change it for him into reais. No question, the dollar is not preferred in Brazil.
You also asked about Uber in Rio.
I did not use Uber in Rio on my last trip about a week ago. However, I did use Uber in Sao Paulo. I had an excellent Uber driver and the fare was about 25% less than I pay to a taxi driver from the same starting point to GRU.
Here is an article that discusses Uber in Rio. Uber was banned for a while in Rio then reinstated but I cannot find anything more current on whether you can presently use Uber in Rio:
http://www.ctvnews.ca/business/judge-issues-order-that-allows-uber-in-rio-de-janeiro-1.2604334
You might look for something more current on Uber in Rio. I could not find anything since the article that I linked above.
One more thing - - despite the warnings and cautions stated above, you will have a great time in Brazil. That is a guaranty.

I'll be arriving in Brazil in exactly two weeks, and my question is two parts:
What is the best way/place to get reais? In Mexico, I have always found the cheapest is to simply withdraw from an ATM. You have to pay a fee no matter how you do it, but the fees for ATM withdrawal for pesos are about half what they would be at a Cambio/currency exchange. Another benefit is not having to bring a bunch of cash. One caveat is that the ATM at the airport is WAY more expensive than the one in town, so I always pay for the taxi with a credit card, since I don't always have pesos on hand. Is getting money from an ATM the best way to get reais? (And I guess a side question is: do the taxis take credit cards? If not, I guess I could ask the driver to stop at an ATM on the way to the apartment {and a second side question--is UBER still banned in Rio?}).
The other part of my question is paying garotos. In Mexico, I had several guys tell me that they wanted to be paid in dollars, and they were actually upset when I explained that I did not bring American dollars, that I only had pesos. Not sure what the reason was, but it was something I encountered more than once. Do the guys in Brazil expect reais? Is there any reason they would want dollars? I haven't seen any reference to this on the forums, so I'm just checking on this point...

So, is Uber still banned in Rio?

So I'm still assuming MH is Manhunt?
I second Jayblk, expecially about Medellin.
Torogen, I'm unfamiliar with any etiquette rule prohibiting mentions of other websites.
I would abide such a rule, only if it appeared 'formally' on this website.
-
Lurker,
Go ahead and bore the rest of us
I'm happy to participate in/bear witness to your anticipation, but I'm definitely excited to hear your on-the-ground reporting. I'm excited myself for my trip, which is less than a month away now. I'll be writing my own report soon enough.I dont want to bore the likes of Badboy with my boring writings. If anyone cares to know about my trip, feel free to PM me. In my humble opinion, It is attitudes like Badboys that are contributing to the demise of this board.
-
When you say MH, are you talking about Manhunt? Is it not allowed to mention other websites, or maybe just bad form? I'm just trying to understand.
However, I didn't even have to choose among them. As I have reported before, a month prior to my travel I registered my profile on MH (alternating weekly between Brnql, Medellin and Manizales),and had established contact with two guys.

Why would it be risky? If you are concerned, take steps to prevent an infection. The degree of risk depends on what you do, so your question is basically impossible to answer without knowing what your sexual practices are. The risk of HIV infection (which I assume is what you mean when you say AIDS), is not "quite risky" at all.

I had not seen that there was a possible link between Zika and Guillain-Barré syndrome in a small number of cases. That is more worrisome, but for me personally, the worry is only slight. I had already looked at that CDC article about how to protect yourself, and I had already looked into the proper insect repellent. Amazon sells many concentrations of DEET insect repellent (30, 40, 98-100% DEET) in the form of sprays, lotions, and wipes, and I had already planned to take some of those along in order to be prepared. I am not sure how many mosquitoes I will actually encounter in Rio. I was warned before I visited Costa Rica to take 100% DEET and to be prepared for swarms of mosquitoes, but in actuality, I only saw about 3 mosquitoes during the two weeks I was there, and then only when I went into the deepest jungle. So, basically, I'm saying that I will prepare for the worst and hope for the best, but I am not going into it blindly. I'm just not a person who worries about such things.
-
I asked this same question on another thread that I will link to, and was told that the chart in the first post (which shows the best/recommended days and events by sauna in Rio, as well as Porto Alegre) is still pretty much accurate: http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10900-best-worst-days-for-saunas-in-rio-and-porto-alegre/?p=61803
-
However, Zika is so mild that many people don't even realize they got it. Only 20% of people who pick it up get sick. So it's really mainly a concern to pregnant women, or for pregnant women who might be infected in the US by someone who picked it up on a trip and brought it back. I'm not planning to change my plans, and I can't imagine that it is going to have a *huge* impact on the number of travelers.
