Commiserations about the stroke, though I cannot be sure it’s not the result of a barebacking STI obtained at BHz’ 1097. This place.

Thx, but it's way TOO expensive for me )-:
We all have our price limits. But you are also asking about guest privileges when the differential between Thermas and out-call rates is quite pronounced. So you are juggling choices among accommodations central vs outskirts, accommodations quality level (often better dollar for dollar further afield), tolerance for commute (bearing in mind Thermas peak hours won’t lead to being stranded outside subway hours), Thermas escort rates vs out-call, and to add to that, many ad-based guys can host (in-call).
Midday fixed price meals are often excellent deals, leading up to Thermas entry, and I eat light at night anyway so an early night is typical. Even the typical late evening dinner playbook won’t result in missing the subway deadline.
I wonder about peculiar hysterical chucklehead trolls and their capacity to organize transit; there may be a trend in which they are inclined to steer your choice to a confined area. It’s hard to manage multi-tasking when afflicted with communal narcissism masquerading as helpfulness.
I am not pushing for any particular model and everybody has their own unique version of a satisfactory trip. My bottom line is that I must have a one-bedroom (enclosed separate BR) dwelling and kitchen facilities. That is not required or feasible for many. They are often unavailable and booked solidly months ahead, even if expensive.
The way Barcelona is laid out, outskirts zones are (as the crow flies, or via Metro routes) often only a few kilometres distant. I have found that many local hosts recommending specific travel routes to their guests are not really up to speed on actual geographical dimensions. They may look at a subway map but assume that a set number of stations represents composite distance; that is not the case.
My upcoming visit apartment (Booking dot com) is under 75 Euros. I couldn’t get the pricier one I have previously liked a few minutes walk from Espanya.

I come back because you always post your trip reviews and they are incentivizing.

I go back 40 years, the old Copacabana Palace, and Air France , Concorde (!). It was business! Around the hotel gay area, dance bars, picked really sexy guys. Then later there was Sauna Leblon, again packed, sex on hand, you walked into the dark room and someone would just put my cock in his ass. Rooms with rows of beds with people fucking, and so on! Pre HIV. Of course I was young then, distant memories.
This could use an Onlyfan account.

There are a few common application errors made by minimally one-third, likely more, of applicants thus far that have stalled reinstated Brazil e-visa adjudication. Unlike some of the content here, tangential to the agenda of getting the task done, it is not mere speculation They are mostly due to lack of logic on the part of applicants and the recent document requirement revision has not reconciled these oversights.
The key is to put oneself in the shoes of adjudicators assessing coherence between the regulations and how applicants organize the ask, that is, data format. Technically, there are some data components that are not required but folks are bitching about, as well as some essential components that some folks fail to think through. Some of these are alluded to in social media and one way to determine these ubiquitous mishaps is by contacting the data interface contractor and going over your data prior to formal application. Better yet, inquire about the predominance of failed input. The call centres are back up and running with often a CSR available within seconds. That said, you will obtain the needed advice if you know what questions to ask. No entity whatsoever has delineated the small-ish complete list of common mistakes, save for an American travel blogger that has come close with a 60-page document, bless him.
It’s a lot easier to get it right from the get go than struggle with delays wherein one has to rely on consular staff to relay to the contractor exactly what is wrong, then to the applicant, etc, the triangulated process making clear communication complicated. Whining about the hassle will only shut down that part of the brain charged with concrete problem-solving.

Judging by a lot of the obsessing here about trade rates, it’s the garotos that will bear the brunt at point of programa as outraged punters seek to compensate for 400 reais grudgingly ponied up when it amounts to an exorbitant 40 per year for the lifespan of the pass. So embarrassing to be lumped into a category so determined to uphold a tourist stereotype.

Haha, I knew this was going to happen. Lula didn't want to be the reason that tourism took a hit during the busy summer season. He should just scrap the stupid thing and fix the reason the U.S. and Canada won't reciprocate visa-free travel.
Oh oh, now you’ve gone and done it, insinuating that Brazil travel should be on anyone’s event horizon when horned up punters might actually be better off chemically castrated, lobotomies enforced on those claiming capacity for judicious and objective risk assessment and management.

Interesting quote, are you a James Joyce fan?
Not particularly, but I have to wonder about Molly factors among some here. I just don’t know how often the idea of beauty being in the eye of the beholder needs to be repeated and that for every pan a lid fits. No, I take that back. Maybe once or twice, as it’s a solid axiom. But it gets tired when every time somebody expresses what they like somebody has to subsequently add it. It’s already embedded. If somebody were to share that they never heard of the concept that might be a different matter.
Now, your comment is unique so it passes muster, may even also reach the level of an interminable loop. Reaching for communal influencer status could use some creativity and your efforts are appreciated.
Perhaps it’s on me. Over a 5 year chat forum period one will naturally witness a set of ideas endlessly repeated as if the insight were Eureka-grade. In the past few minutes it’s that Brazil has higher levels of crime, loop loop loop loop, as if influence hunger masquerading as altruistic warning bells could only be satiated by the whole membership overtly capitulating to the recommendation that Brazil be severed as a desirable option.

It took 5 years (2017-2022) for the Public Health Service (SUS) to adjust governance in such as way as to remove the stigmatizing eligibility requirement of declaring homosexual activity or commercial sex work status for PrEP access. The inflexibility may have been partly due to the associated research agenda geared to uptake surveillance of identified high risk groups. However, this inappropriately trumped rightful ‘do no harm’ ideology in terms of supporting self-determination among, for example, garotos that would have no problem identifying their behavioural risks and should have had the option to present their case in a more circumspect way, without needing to check a specific box.
It was not a funding issue because engaging the target population to explore and seek PrEP had consistently fallen short. The approach had obviously fuelled the narrative regarding HIV as a gay disease as well. Also ran was loss viz ability to track the uptake ratios comparing a broader span of PrEP-seeking categories. Additionally, those outside of the restricted categories that might not have been ‘ideal’ PrEP candidates may have accessed better HIV info through the process of the PrEP-seeking itself, prevention knowledge being one of the biggest correlates of infection incidence.

Some, likely at least 1 in 5, already have HIV so the question is moot. If you ask about PrEP in a binary fashion they may be pushed into a corner regarding response. If you do inquire at point of intimacy you can consider the implementation of photos depicting uptake method along with the questions. You can state that you value the idea of somebody taking PrEP (profilaxia pré-exposição do HIV) and that you are curious about which method is preferred. You may discern how much it is relatable to him. That is more open-ended. A large proportion of those at risk for infection are not taking PrEP, or started and stopped, or are not consistently adherent. General population uptake in the appended figure is low; it is inconceivable that such a small fraction are MSM with high level candidacy.
Syphilis was not Sisyphus struggling up the mountain at the orgy recently described.

I use apps ( Grindr only) rarely even if I comb through it regularly to see … My problem with apps is that I read pictures poorly and whoever shows in the lobby usually looks less attractive than on the pics.
Or the pics are a physique model Xmas shopping in Seattle at the time, you call him on it, explain your empathy around the complexity of advertising, agree to a vid chat in the app, and there is still a discrepancy between the shadowy sorta hunky looking chap in the chat and what steps off the Grab bike. Wait, can I solicit the Grab driver?

What difference does it make? If simple vetting related to the examples above is not carried out suckers can always materialize. Scammers exist insofar as scammees do and the latter is a larger pool, like shooting fish in a barrel or sperm in a quivering yearning prostate. Anybody not diligently recording the relevant material and taking precautions that prevent some level of victimization, or worse, from running afoul of the law, is but naïve and has only self to blame. Of course not all risk avoidance, apart from the letdown of a desire mismatch, is guaranteed at the face-to-face stage, but preliminary red flags always show the face of the catfish artfully the one holding out the bait. Clientele also often behave as battlefield-grade belligerents that promote the very dynamics they criticize.
Generally the cue prompts to bail are at your fingertips …

Benefit of doubt: I assume and hope not an offensive ‘*******hawk’ reference and that I read too much into it because of the hustle theme and the repeated liberal use of “boys” (semantically not so offputting), as no place for it. Let’s say it’s innocently about the Colonel’s deep fryer and small standard deviation surrounding an age mean of 36.

For some the demand has exited. Sleep is accessed well. No need for nodding off reading. If struck with insomnia I can request the endless ledger depicting his strangely conceived check marks about who has actually been where they say they were.
