    Lol. This forum is making me crazy. As I kept on reading those posts about Brazil, I was getting less and less patient. At a certain point yesterday, I decided to ditch Colombia and fly directly to GRU in two weeks. Aeromexico is offering insanely cheap biz flights from Europe and I’m getting tons of Flying Blue XP (lol, excuse much?!)  on the other side, I’m loosing hundreds of euros canceling my existing tickets.

    So now I have two months in Brazil in stead of one. My plans might need to get twice ambitious, too. Any suggestions besides SP and Rio? Im looking at Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Salvador, Recife and Fortaleza. It would be nice to have a comparative chart (Again, I’m asking for the impossible). 

    🤨

    Well, thanks for noticing that.

    You are correct, I was just reporting a fact without complains or the exploitative fantasy of paying those prices.

    You speak Spanish?  You too can pay those prices.  The Puerto Ricans do.

    Broke thieving skanks with drug problems shouldnt worry about Foreigners hoe bills. 😾

    I do not think we need the hating. We all have different needs, backgrounds and skills. Procurers deliver a service and I am glad they exist, as I may need them some time. 

    As a matter of fact, I almost used one in Medellin. In the process, I found out that for me a procurer is an annoyance and not help in Medellin. But I am sure for many visitors Fercho is the best option.

    I have never been in RD, so I have no idea whether or not I would feel safe hiring without intermediaries. But I can easily imagine myself calling Manny or any other local 

      Do you.

    yes - the increase in “scams” running foreign & US domestic seem to keep increasing & mutating in ways we don’t see coming.  With Uber as an example, I have never sent Uber to pick up anyone else, but probably would have in the US.  Outside the US, it just didn’t feel right but I was unaware that there were organized scams running.

    In many countries, tourists are prime targets.  The thieves know tourists will usually leave their countries in a short period of time & are unlikely to pursue criminal charges even if the perpetrator is caught.  This is exactly what happened to me in Spain.  I was robbed and they caught the person, I identified them, but they needed me to be in country for prosecution - I was leaving shortly after he was identified. The criminal was released and he went back to business.  It’s the same story over & over.  He was a known criminal with a long rap sheet targeting gay tourists exclusively.

    And, in many places, older tourists (gay or straight) that use sex-workers are even better targets. Think about it -  we are frequently in comprising positions where just about anything could happen.  And we are largely dealing with unknown people in most cases. Which is why I prefer the safety of a sauna if I’m not feeling too lazy to go.  On the occasion, I want them to come to my hotel, then I make sure they know they must register at the front desk and bring ID.  Even if I know that’s not necessary.  It weeds them out quick.

    Will I stop doing the things I like to do ?  NO. Will I change my behaviors to adjust for the increasing threat level ?  YES  
    Thats why I always stay in premium hotels in developing countries with layers of security.  There is no way I’d have a boy from a developing country into an AirBnb or similar.  Even if the boy is trustworthy, whomever he tells about it may not be. And, everyone in the buildings knows which apartments are AirBnB and many times people on the street know too.  In Madrid, it’s obvious my building and AirBnB apartment were under surveillance as a known place for gay tourists with little to no security.  It was an AirBnb in Plaza de Chueca with only a keyed building entry.  Never again.

    Also - I’d never use a credit card in any Brazilian sauna or other sex-worker venue in any country.  I go by the Leave No Trace mantra, never leaving anything that could identify me in places that are questionable.  The owners may be reputable, but who knows how many employees cycle in/out of these places.  And, yes ID theft and credit card fraud can happen anywhere - but given the seedy nature of some of preferred venues - it feels like extra caution is needed.

    When I was in SP recently - I got asked over & over;  How long are you staying ?  Where are you staying ?  No, No, No, No.  Be ready for those questions and never give away the correct information.  This is basic and everyone knows this I think.

    And in SP,  I was absolutely bombarded on Scruff with invitations for “free sex”.  I accepted one offer & it was from a rich Brazilian who was a member at the health club in my hotel.  There are guys on the apps soliciting sex with the intention to rob you.  These stories pop up from time to time in NYC and other places in the US - of course it’s happening to “rich” foreigners visiting developing countries too.  All that much easier in a foreign country because the rich tourist will soon be leaving.  I’m 60 yrs old, still decent looking looking, aware that some younger guys do like Daddies, but under no illusion that the agenda for something else is more than likely at play. Many of these crimes never get reported for many reasons.

    Yes - most of this is an absolute buzzkill and we’d all rather ignore it & pretend it doesn’t exist. But, it does and protect yourself because the scammers really are lurking around every corner.  Including in this forum.

    in all my years hiring domestic and abroad - I’ve never had an issue/problem related to hiring for sex. God knows I was lucky when I was younger, but then many of these current scams just didn’t exist or they have become much more sophisticated.  The robbery in Madrid was when I got drugged by someone I perceived to be a fellow gay traveler and was just being friendly & accepted a cocktail in a bar that he guided me to.  The bar staff was in on the scam.  Once It was reported to the police, they confirmed drugging tourists is extremely common, most don’t report out of shame/embarrassment or they don’t remember enough to make it worthwhile.  I was shocked & a real wake-up call.

    It sucks to be on-guard 24/7, especially when traveling and trying to relax and have a good time.  But necessary. Drinking and/or drugs are an obvious NO/NO and will only make you an even easier target for the scammers/thieves - just don’t do it.  
     
    I had a great time in São Paulo recently, but followed all the rules above and didn’t feel any threats at any time. I’d go again in a minute, with the proper precautions. Or anywhere in Brazil for that matter.  It helps my preferred time of day for meeting guys is in the afternoon - reduces risks exponentially IMO. After dark, I’m ready for a good meal, a couple of cocktails and the comfort of my hotel.  All good. 

    People who post only the Fun Stuff cannot be trusted.  Even good sex gets old and tiring (can't believe I said that).  Stay vigilant and enjoy this big beautiful world.

    Maybe @Half-vaccinated is very direct/strong in making his point, but he has a point. I agree with him: 3000 - 4000 DOP is waaaaay overpriced. In Juan BinBin 1000-1500 is what you need. As do (grindr- and street-)boys that come to your apartment. DOP 2000 is for reaaaaal cuties, hung or fit guys; 2500/3500 are your ultimate Instagram models which are rare to visit you. At Marlow's a standard 1000 is quoted. 

    Other prices and services are not scams; they are just smart business opportunities from the one's who offer it. Some ignorant tourists pay up whit out questions. Stay smart.

    Facts!

    Don't be a Sucker!

    If you go to RD you're only paying about $125 for Manny and some good Latin dick

    I get this for 2000 pesos. I believe that's $37 usd.  If he's real good, I'll probably tip. DASSIT!

     The boys do steal so be careful. There's a reason some are banned from bars and hotels.  Many foreigners leave without their I phones.  Only, If you knew what the locals pay for sex.🤐

     

  7. Ubers in the Dominican Republic are different than the U.S.  Scammers are working with Uber drivers to Defraud you out of your money.

    I Dont send ubers.  Even if I know you, I wont ever send a Uber in the D.R.  The way I see it: You want money.  I have money.  This is a J-O-B. Take a guagua or ride a moto to your Fair Exchange.

    Fact is: they most likely not going to make money like this in one day. And they KNOW it.  If they Refuse to show up because you wont send them a uber, they were most-likely scammers.

    HV, u r of course entitled to ur own opinion, but there is really no need to use such a negative tone all the time. You criticise and or accuse and or mock EVERONE: Manny, venues, the boys, members of this forum, etc.

    Please consider changing ur attitude.

    Thank u.     (-:

    Lies!

    I treat the boyz with Great Respect.  The Boys love me and my meager Money.  All that other nonsense Im not for it.  AND neither are the Veterans that travel and those that can nolonger travel.  

    Im keeping it 100!  And trust me, I learned EVERYTHING from other SEASONED travelors.  We just want to have a good time, Devoid of SCAMMERS.

  9. Juanbinbin DO NOT have boys worthy of 3,000 pesos.  Well. maybe fedder.  And only if he's sober enough to keep it hard. 

    4,000 ($80) pesos for one of those boys to take home? 🤣🤣😂😂 

    All the good ones left or eventually leaves and creates a twitter or Grinder.  Like I said, Im pro-Tourista.  You'd do better on Grinder with a snotty local that looks down on buggarones, but secretly wants pesos from you.🤐

    Or you can go to Marlowes and smash 3-4  boys for that price.😗

    You are all over the place with your claims. Maybe you think if you keep throwing anything against the wall, something surely has got to stick.

    Now, you’re going on about drug addicts! One is far more likely to run into a junkie hustler bugarron randomly cruising El Conde where Paco’s is located and the various streets surrounding it — as well as the flaccidity problem that comes with it that you seem to focus on so much.

    At first, it seemed you had only a personal issue with Manny. But now, you malign any and all procurers, and say they provide an unnecessary service and that their fee always comes out of what is paid to the service provider. That’s not how it works at Narciso’s house. That’s not how it works at Juan Bin Bin. Some other procurers I and others that I am close to have used over the years would bake their fee into the amount you pay the sex worker — still resulting in a higher fee paid by the client. Others might collect all the money themselves upfront and then they pay the sex worker because they don’t trust them with all of the money. It definitely depends. There isn’t a “one size fits all”.

    So, I find your claims that “these are the rules and everybody down there knows this” to be a bit odd. But your experiences are yours, and I won’t question that you see the world / the island as you see it. 
     


     

     

    JuanBinBin and Narcizo provide "Boys AND Houses."  These are established Businesses. Just STOP.

    You've become trite and your arguments are stale.  Like I said, Pay the guy - not the common whore provider.  Lets be clear, nobody really likes you; especially IF they knew the Stunts you pull for money.

    Maybe it’s just your limited vocabulary and poor choice of words.

     

    No one is “making” you do anything. But posting identifying information about working guys on the internet without their permission is the hallmark of someone with very compromised ethics.

    YOU may Think you are a value to this board; But I see you as a Vacationer's Nightmare.   I see you and those of your ilk for what you are.  Something for Nothingers.  

    If someone refers a guy to me and I date the guy; I pay the guy.  The guy pays the referrer, NOT ME.

    THOSE ARE THE RULES and everybody down there knows this. 

    Petty insults suits you.  Like I said before, Mannys boys don't even get hard.  Most give rushed services and are drug addicts.  The few good ones leave him.  

    We come for a goodtime.  Nowdays we must watch out for English speaking leaches.

  12. Cocaine has alot of gay boys Addicted.  Fortunately for me I've outgrown those things.  Therefore, I do not have a need to TROLL the internets in search of a Victim to Scam.

    Some of us know the Shady workings of THESE people.  As a Travelor, of which this area is for; I will speak to those people.  Guard your pocketbook.  These Hoes aint loyal.

    I’ll try to translate Riobardese.

    In plain English, what he was saying is that he only likes a certain kind of guy that isn’t really available much in the regular Dominican spaces for hustlers (Conde, Pacos, BinBin, etc). He likes muscular men, bodybuilders, fitness models, buff gogo boys, semipro athletes, etc. He is willing to pay a premium for these kinds and he told Manny this. He is saying that Manny brought him a guy or two like this — after a few false starts and some clarification on exactly what he liked. 

    And Manny DO NOT have these Guys on call.  Dont make me PUBLISH his tired roster of Narciso Brothel, twitter and assorted Big Dick boys he unearthed from The Vacationers.   You spend alot of time online.  Most Scammer do too.😡

    Leave your question for the connoisseurs, this was my first time here and Instill have much to learn. 
    But I am puzzled by your comment about my lack of explicitness. Let me be clear. I am absolutely in love with Medellin, its culture, and its inhabitants. I plan to continue visiting as often as possible, and will be making plans to settle down here for part of the year after retirement. This place has totally displaced Brazil from my top interests.
    I hope that is explicit enough.

    Sounds like you had good ole time.

    🙋

    I wanna go next time.  Brazil and D.R. is fun, but Columbian guys are Thick Thick.
