Thanks! 😊

Actually, I have gone through all of the posts, and can’t find anything here with that information, which is why I asked. I seem to recall that a long time ago a previous version of this site had a pinned message that outlined all the basics. I completely respect that this is run by volunteers, but perhaps dumb questions like mine (lol) could be minimized if there was a basic “how to” post pinned at the top of each subject. Just my two bits. 😊

But I think only three reviews in several years, and it looks like two of those are probably from the same ticked off guy. So not sure how reliable a barometer that is.

Apart from https://www.olimposbr.com are there any good sites for Brazilian GPs? Given the number of working guys (or more broadly guys who will work,) I’m always surprised by how few advertise online in Brazil. I’m pretty sure there are more Brazilians listed on Hunqz / RM in London UK then I can find listed on sites in Brazil! What’s up with that??

I’m thinking of renting a suite there to host a couple of group sessions. My plan is to bring in some GPs, and see if any of the regular clients want to join in. Will report back.

Anyone have experience with this place? https://www.hotelchilli.com.br

Does anyone have experience with this “cruising bar?” @parada21bar on @X.

Will do.

Well I'm thinking a client who refuses to pay, or who is maybe too aggressive (think big client vs small twink GP,) or slips them too much G, or is just generally a jerk, etc.. I think there's a wide range of what bad clients can do.

Thanks for the responses, gents! I have a fair bit of experience organizing parties with 3 or 4 GPs in Europe, the US, and Colombia, at my hotel or Air BnB. Usually going about 3 hours, sometimes longer. Generally they have been super hot, sometimes just off the charts spectacular. Occasionally a guy will be a dud and just isn't into it, or doesn't have chemistry with the other guys, in which case I diplomatically send that boy home after the first hour. In such cases I will usually have fun with the other guys deciding which new GP to invite to sub-in (so to speak.) My goal is usually to mix things up in terms of roles and body types. The problems I have had are not related to jealousy or anything like that, but more generally if a guy shows up who has already been partying and is strung out - although that has been infrequent. And usually I find that the boys police themselves. If one of them is acting strange (e.g. is strung out) the other guys will tell him to leave, etc, and are very protective of me as their client. As far as I can recall, the guys have all gotten along. In fact I hosted a party with three scorts in Phoenix this year and found out that two of the guys who met at my party hooked up as partners, and started travelling / living together, LOL! (Never expected to be a matchmaker!) I think the key to my successful experience as a party host has been: 1) to focus on guys with profiles with obvious tells like "long sessions," "threesomes and groups," "parties / gusto fiestas / fiestero" etc; 2) to avoid guys who I think are probably straight / gay for pay; 3) to be upfront with the guys on what I'm planning and looking for. 4) just to be generous / friendly / reliable as a client. In my experience, the kind of group sessions I put together are their ideal work session. They get multiple hours in, they have other hot young guys to play with, and they probably feel safer from potential client exploitation if they have friends / peers involved. My proposal above was to see if anyone else out there wanted to join forces in a session like this, with say me sponsoring the sort of party I normally would do solo, and another client / other clients joining in and sponsoring more lads. Let's call it a GP pot luck! it could get complicated, but if everyone is chill and has fun it could be amazing. I'm not sure why this would be more difficult in Brazil than it has been for me in other countries (although I'm a little more concerned about the security aspect.) Obviously moving this many guys in and out of a hotel is a non starter, and very difficult at most Air BnBs (that can be strict about admissions.) So I was thinking of experimenting with this by renting a suite at the Hotel Chili in SP for a few hours, and welcoming the guys there (where they would have to give their ID on the way in, etc.)

I'm thinking of visiting Cali for the big Salsa festival between Christmas and New Year. Any tips / advice? Anyone else going to be there?

I may visit Cali for the Sasla Festival between Christmas and New Year. Any advice / tips? Anyone else going to be there?

Like others here, I can highly recommend Felipe. Super nice guy who tries very hard to offer a professional wide-ranging guide service, tailored to gay visitors to Bogota. He also has reliable contacts in the other cities, Felipe's WhatsApp is 57 304 1352430

Anyone planning on visiting Brazil over the next month (roughly Dec 26 - Jan 12) who would be interested in collaborating on private parties? I plan on hosting a couple in both SP and Rio. Looking to bring in a variety of quality talent (from twinks to hung tops) for long, hot sessions. On the principle of 'the more the merrier,' I'm open to ideas to cooperate with other visitors 😜 Also, any tips on good local fixers to help with getting the right guys, translation, and ensuring security?
