Even though some of the providers claim 4G - Lite or better, it is not unusual to often see only H on one's cell phone. This can happen despite the phone not being moved to various or different locations. While using a phone, a signal often drops to a slow speed without warning then, without warning, returns to a faster speed, then drops back down again. This is particularly annoying when trying to talk on whatsapp or a similar utility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t remember who. The water in the "hydro suite" was cold, and barely trickled. It would have taken more than an hour to fill up the jacuzzi. Of course, they may fix that.

You negotiate the time with the guy you want to take up. I took up a guy, was terribly disappointed in his performance, and went back and found another guy to take up...same room, since it was within the one hour. They were extremely gracious and changed the bed linens in between guys. I tipped. Tartegogo and axiom2001 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Riobard Posted April 15, 2018 Members Share Posted April 15, 2018 Interesting question about the hour. I usually do a double programa elsewhere for 125-135% what I might pay for a single. Works well since I prefer more time with one guy than a shorter time with two separate consecutive guys, and I like foreplay as much as heightened "resolution". This would never fly in a strip club, but garotos are more flexible. They may feel undervalued if you lowball for a single session. Not that I would know ... I do not nickel-and-time on 35-minute dates. However, once their date rate threshold is comfortably reached, their egos and salary goals seem to withstand receiving a lower time-contingent amount. I do not have the "cuckold" fetish or something similar that sets one back 1 large the first hour, 2 large for two hours, 3 for 3, etc. I would assume Acyr has "game-changed" the programa concept to include suite amenities time, which may actually be extra minutes without amenities functioning fully. But the idea is more consistent with a spa experience. To my way of thinking, I would be accepting of the 125-135% calculation with the right guy because I would not be paying double for the suite at MR's. But my sense is the standard programa arrangememt will be the main driver, conferring a little bonus to the client. I think my playbook is more like Sandunes'. Assessing and handling the cantelope for texture and ripeness, never giving the guy a pink slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members asdsrfr Posted August 15, 2018 Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 Has anyone been recently? Is it doing well--especially on their busy nights of Friday and Monday? I hear a lot about member's experiences at Pointe and 117 but not much about MR recently. I hope it succeeds--I was a real fan of Meio Mundo and my impression is that this would draw the same type of garatos. floridarob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Latindude Posted August 15, 2018 Members Share Posted August 15, 2018 Well, I have heard about a private party yesterday at Manhattan , due to a visit of a special guest.... I don’t know why but I guess this guest is @Tomcal?? Yesterday some boys at 117 were a bit disappointed that they were not invited... Concerning the sauna itself, I have heard good reviews from Saturday nights. Tomcal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning the sauna itself, I have heard good reviews from Saturday nights. MR is closed on Tuesday’s so the owner thought that would be a good night to have a private party. there was the owner myself and 8 sauna guys who were invited. plus one new guy who happened to stop by because he was new in town and needed to work and a friend had told him to try here, so we let him in and he eventually stayed the night at the apartment with 5 other guys! We supplied free drinks and food plus use of any suites they/we, wanted to use! it was a fun Tuesday night! Tonight at Pointe which was PACKED, several guys came up and wanted to know why they were not invited, i just said i didn’t make up the guest list!

Centro is a sketchy area and at night you definitely should not walk back to the metro. Uber was about 22 reals to get back to Copacabana -The club seems small and I felt a little claustophobic in it. The ceilings are extemely low. They are not much higher than 6 feet. My head was almost brushing the ceiling. Very small bar area, very small smoking room, small steam room. Everything seems shrunk here. Much inferior to 117, Point 202 and Lagoa -Lots of garotos were working, at least 25. They were all guys I had never seen before at 117 or 202. The guys are definitely not model types. Some were cute but in a guy -next-door way. More toned/skinny body types vs muscle. There were a handful I thought were cute, but I didn’t necessarily want to pay for them. Most started out asking 150 and then lowered to 100. I think 80 would be a more fair rate, and someone said locals pay closer to 50? For 50 I would go with a few of them. The garotos overall seemed down-to-earth and without the attitude you sometimes encounter at 117. -The same drag queen performed as at 202. -Suites were free tonight (Monday night) -No wi-fi and my cell had poor service inside -Overall I prefer 117 and 202. I can’t see myself coming back here I went last Friday night, the 10th, and shared many of your observations on the size of the sauna. But, there is a great deal of enthusiasm behind this new place, and I don’t underestimate the new owners in their determination to make the place a success. But, our cab driver, even with the address, could not find the place. We got out and walked, and it was just two blocks farther down.

Competition is proving to be good for the clients in Rio! now if only another 2 saunas would open in São Paulo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dmontes1999 Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 I've been to MRs now. It has the most cabins of any sauna in Rio. We all hate waiting for cabins, so this is a welcome addition to the sauna scene. With shorter cabin wait times, both client and escort will be happier. The owner, Acir, has a great mind for running a successful sauna (he ran MM for years) and his commitment to making MRs the best sauna is evident. And I REALLY liked the upstairs bar. Very clean, classy and sharp- an unusual trio of attributes in a Gay sauna. But it's very conducive to just hanging out with your friends. I can see Cariocas just coming and hanging out there for (non-sexual) fun and a drink or two. And the rooms are nicer than any other rooms in Rio. If you go to Rio and are attending the sauna scene, dont miss out on MRs. Its worth it. episevilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caeron Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I agree. I dropped by too early on my way to the airport. I thought it was a very nice layout, and nicely done. Can't comment on the guys, since I was too early on a monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dmontes1999 Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 Well, that may not be exactly correct. I used Uber to get to MRs and my driver couldn't find MRs either. It took him a while after first going to the wrong address then driving around to figure it out. But I got there. Glad I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Latindude Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 There is a problem with Waze, it sends to the street behind the building, when taking UBer or 99 always say to your driver that it is in Beira Mar Avenue, other than that it is very easy to arrive. It happened to me today! I am right now in Manhattan. But as you can see not much action LOL so I am posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Riobard Posted August 17, 2018 Members Share Posted August 17, 2018 I would have no problem directing the driver to get there and would likely hop out at the Petrobras pumps across the road. You cannot pull a U-turn unless comfortable crossing the median curbs. However, it could be trickier having them pick you up to leave. Othon nearby is an easier landmark but the driver still has to manage the cloverleaf. Frankly, I am accustomed to public transit ... the VLT tram is just a few metres west of the club, Antônio Carlos stn, then one stop up to Cinelândia and Metro transfer.
