If you have 10 days in Brazil, Definitely spend at least 6 in Rio....maybe 2 in Salvador Bahia and 2 in Sao Paulo....Rio is similar to Miami with the beaches, the nightlife, the water....and of course the best saunas...In my opinion.... SP is like NYC but larger and more spread out...they have more cultural things to see and great nightlife but its on 10 versus relaxing... Salvador has tons of history and some beautiful beaches and is reminiscent of Rio mixed with somewhere in Africa....definitely worth exploring for a day or two... I would advice to come up with your own game plan for what you want to see and do....like any city there are tons of things that may interest you but as a tourist, you don't want to overload yourself.... Have an amazing trip....

I'm sure you are....therefore the pics were NOT for you to enjoy.... Didn't your mother ever tell you " If you have nothing nice to say, Keep your fing mouth CLOSED!" I hope everybody else ENJOYS....

TRAVEL BY YOURSELF....Don't fear it...I have been all over the world by myself and often meet other travels and definitely meet locals when I am in said particular country. I have never had any issues in S. America, Asia, Europe or the Caribbean except one small bar fight that happened in Santo Domingo and I quickly got outta dodge I do think you need to know some Portuguese to help with your trip....Stay in tourist friendly areas but venture out and about....In both Rio and Sao Paulo there are areas that you want to avoid so do some research... The benefits of traveling by yourself is you get to do what you want to do...when you want to do it and for however long you want to do it....If you enjoy spending time by yourself, you can travel by yourself.... Have an amazing trip

Just how old are you Tomcal?

I decided to add a few photos from my past adventures...I really need to update this stuff....More photos to come.... As you can see...I like variety....

My visit to Rio particularly stands out because I did not know what all the saunas were about or offered so I made it my mission to visit each to see which ones offered the best guys and which ones are just standards saunas/spas. As has been posted before on numerous forums, the scene in Rio is a true saunas scene....I got to 117 around 5 in the afternoon on a Wednesday before it got crowded and was bombarded with sexy guys in every hue and shape, 117 is known for the beefier, muscular guy and they have a great variety... That alone is one of the reasons I travel to Rio often versus other countries...the variety...you get every ethnic mixed from blond surfer types to green eyed mulattoes down to dark hued guys who could easily be from Atlanta, except for the whole only speaking Portuguese thing.... While I changed out of my street clothes, I was a approached by a few guys who basically wanted to show me what they were working with....they asked if I speak Portuguese and I replied back, Um pouco... After changing into the towel and flip flops I was offered, I decided to go into the shower and the saunas....That is where you can get a pretty amazing show from the guys who are vying for your attention...Brazilian guys ARE NOT shy....After getting wet in the shower, I went into the steam room and was joined by two guys who promptly took their towels off and started playing with their dicks.... I asked them both if they were A parte superior ou inferior, basically if they top or bottom and of course they both replied back tops.... After the saunas scene got boring, I decided to go upstairs and discovered the little video arcade room....as soon as I stepped, I was amazed again how many guys simply came in and started pumping away.... After walking around, I finally decided who I wanted to try first....I think my first time at 117, I had 3 different sessions BEFORE heading over to Pointe in Copacabana.... More to come....

Im trying to figure out how graphic I can get about my encounters in Rio...any advice fellas?

Hey guys....I have enjoyed reading the various posts and find most of them very interesting...My experience has been extremely different...A little about me before I dive in.... I am in my early 30's and have been going to Rio since 2008. I was a college athlete and currently train regularly and know some Portuguese. I'm also African American.... I go to Rio because I love the culture and enjoy the sauna scene for exactly what it is....no strings fun....While I have been to both 117 and Pointe in Copacabana, I am looking forward to the newer one that has been mentioned in several of the posts... When I go to the saunas, I actually enjoy the steam rooms and the showers and the ambiance including the guys that work there....I have had several of the guys come back to the hotel when they got off work to simply hang out and of course sex happened but I did not pay outside of the sauna....Even the guys I meet on the street (rarely) and especially the guys I have meet at The Week and Club Boy (never paid)...I enjoy their company but don't "fall in love"...I understand what I am to them and they understand what they are to me....Even with my frequency of traveling, I have not found it necessary to exchange e-mails or be "friends" on Facebook....To me the whole gain is the surprise of who I will meet on each trip. I know Brazil as a whole is so exciting because they don't discriminate on clients, simply appreciating the money they receive for the services they render but I do find that the more attractive they find clients, the more accommodating they become probably the same way the more generous you are, they more they are apt to flock to you.... I currently have two trips scheduled for 2015 with another one on the horizon.... Keep up the interesting posts guys....
