Riobard, I’m sorry I’m not sure I understand your reply... are you asking questions? Or are you answering questions? or are you commenting? e.g.: “playbook sounds like powerballing” which playbook are you speaking of and what is powerballing? is palookaville = to Rio? What is existential free-basing? Thanks...

Ohhhh.... sorry, final question. for those who are familiar with Brazil at the moment. Should I visit São Paulo or another city instead of Rio?

I didn’t want to hijack anyone’s thread, so started a new one. I managed to get a covid vaccine that was left over due to a no show, which means I am guaranteed my second shot on March 26. I’m 42, have no health issues and don’t work on front lines, so feel like I won the lottery as I would prob have been last on earth to receive based on the prioritizations. And that means I’m going to go to Rio! For the first time! I’ve read all of the threads including MiamiEthan’s and all the great answers you gave to him re: first time, so thanks. I had a lot of same questions, so this post will be a lot shorter thanks to the great info offered by many of you. But still a few things: 1. You told Ethan not to stay in a nice hotel, due to guest policies. I much prefer nice hotels too BUT also want to have guys over. The @Tomcal escapade he mentioned in a recent post sounds fun ? so would like guests... I saw that someone mentioned looking for penthouses on Airbnb which sounds a great idea. First, which neighborhood makes the most sense? And does anyone have tips for filtering thru the noise and getting a great Airbnb? Or... does anyone have a recommendation of one that is great? Was planning on spending a couple hundred a night on Fasano so price isn’t a major issue, but would love something nice and that allows guests. 2. How best to spend more time with guys you like overnight, outside of sauna, etc. Do you just suggest it at the sauna? Ask them about overnights? And what are the going rates for overnights? As for more than one guy, I saw that you should find one you like and suggest he choose others. I’m good with that, but is it safe as it’s my first time. 3. I like to do off path touristy stuff as well: hiking, day trips, def want to hike up to Christ the redeemer, explore neighborhoods, maybe go hang gliding as it looks fun. Also, a handful of the best restaurants in Latin America as per Michellin are in Rio, so want to check those out too as I’m a foodie. But, saw @numazu1mentioned that a lot of that was closed due to Covid. That was back in January, so wondering if that is still the case. 4. Many of you talk about taking guys to dinner, etc. I’m assuming you speak Portuguese? I travel a lot 35+ countries and counting, and I always meet guys, befriend them during my stay, and go to dinners, museums, etc. but I’m not sure that’s going to be possible due to language [I don’t speak portuguese] and fact that there prob aren’t many tourists... I prefer to travel solo, not because I like to be alone, but because it allows you to meet so many more interesting people along the way. I’m a little concerned that it’ll be a ghost town and it’ll just be me going to the sauna and eating alone for a week. Thoughts? 5. lastly, sauna vs hiring online. What do folks think about this? I tend to not love sauna vibes, but maybe the Brazilian ones are better/more fun?? So hiring online is appealing, but curious what the more experienced folks think? thank you everyone!

Thanks for the notes! I’m going in early June. I’ll post my experiences.

Sure! Sent you a DM

I saw the posts, maybe I skimmed but they didn’t seem to be BA, but a more rural town. Si? Can you share your blog link?

I need to do a final mileage run to keep status on American. I’m smitten with Argentinians, their accents, their look, and general attitude. But not a lot of info on here. Ultimately, I’m looking for a luxe week in Buenos Aires (or wherever Argentinians go for the holiday)? Recommendations from the forum? Should I hit up BA? Skiing? Punta del Este? Also considering Asia, if folks have opinions. I posted similar post in Asia forum.

Going to Mexico City next weekend. Found some hot guys on siempretuyo. But they are asking 1500-2000 — seems crazy high. But I could be wrong as I’ve not been before, they are definitely stunning. And they speak some English. Thoughts? I tend not to bargain with escorts — as someone who has had a few escorts as boyfriends in the USA, it’s definitely seen as an insult here.

I’ve found a couple adorable Medellin guys on chaturbate. I’m going in two weeks. How much should I offer for a daily guide plus sex? We made plans to go hanglding, I’ll pay for it of course. Any thoughts? If I like the guy I’ll take to nice dinner as well.

I need to do a final mileage run to keep status on American. I’m a member at Soho House and they just opened a new hotel/club in Mumbai and I want to check it out. But don’t know much about it and not a lot of info on here. Ultimately, I’m looking for a luxe week in Asia — I’ve not spent much time on the continent. Cities where US Dollar stretches far, Grindr and hot rent boys are plentiful along with culture and foodie restaurants? Recommendations from the forum?

So I’m going to Colombia next month, setting up “guides” from chaturbate. Trading WhatsApp’s and instagram accts. How forward is appropriate? Can I just assume all will have sex? I’m 40, gym 4x a week, play tennis and swim. Set up some training sessions too as these guys have amazing bodies. How forward can I be? Do I ask if they have sex? Assume they do? Play it by ear when we meet? Total newbie to this... would like to prioritize based on guys that are more passive but not sure if it’s rude to ask.
