episevilla

Gentlemen, I'm in Barcelona until sunday. Weather isn't great, but the city is. Yesterday I had a lot of fun in sauna Thermas. Everything perfect: nice and clean steam bath, hot dry sauna... they did really a good renovation -- by the way, that is much needed in Madrid (Adán). Prices are increased: 15.50 fot the entry. For people in need of cash, beware: the bank across the street is closed (but there is another at Entenza str. still very close to the place). Not many people, though, and certainly the working guys outnumbered the clients. Among the last ones I met some aged Germans, nice people really, and saw local guys. Working boys covered any body type, from twink to muscular. My first 'date' was a nice 23yo twink from Romania, who followed me to the dry souna. Q: how much? Ans: how much do you think? 30 euro. Ok, but I took my time in the bar and steam. We went to the room and had some (moderate) fun. Best experience came later, with an Hugo from Fortaleza (yes, many Brazilians, as usual): a nice, masculine looking guy, very confident, spectacular abs. We had a very nice enconter (50? 40 with a tip... Ok, and then he really earned his tip: great kisser, sucker etc,). Then a lot of talk. Typical, warm Brazilian. Probably I likes bears... More to follow, I hope.... Epi

Hi, his profile at GayRomeo goes as MichaelMP. Congratulations, great guy!

I agree. Hotels may be too expensive, but the sauna and guys are not. Nor the apartments. By the way, in Meio Mundo they ask me for 50 reais; that is less than 25€. And the guys, at least the three I met there in Sept., were really great.

Hi, I miss really nice people in Colombia... Epì

I have the same opinion, as to the attraction to older men. Even in Europe or in the USA it is not that uncommon for an older gentleman to meet a younger one, on a simple sexual preference basis... It seems to me than in Latin America the number of younger guys looking for older is just higher...

Same experience im Plaza Rosa (to avoid: really too noisy) and El Poblado Alejandría, both in Medellín. Epi

Hi, my experiences in Colombia are a very positive ones, as you may know. But I usually met guys for free, even if sometimes I paid the taxi fare or invitated them to dinner etc. (Not being escorts, I did not dare to publish pics from the handsome guys I met). There is a huge 'market' for a (more or less) distinguished older foreigner (I am 56 y.o.); the problem actually is finding time to honour so many propositions... (the so called embarras du choix!). Better than gayromeo, at least in Medellin, Manhunt worked for me very well. Guys are nice, chatty, usually in great shape, smooth and always smiling. Generally speaking, Colombian are very kind, and they show it in everyday life. I still receive nice messages in my Mhunt account or msn from young guys I met there. So I only hope to get a new invitation next year! Congratulations and greetings Epi

Congratulations!

Well, with the exception of the masseurs at Tobi -being the best a certain Adrián, 27 y.o., great body and good lover-- people there are just customers looking for a nice experience. But it seems there is another sauna, Portobelo or Portobello (easy to place in Facebook, Medellín) wich offers 'boys' service. I visited the place but it was empty, so I cannot judge. Many young men are interested in older men. More than in Brazil. There is no need of call boys, really.

Gentlemen, a new, nice stay in Colombia! It is amazing how young men are into mature and older ones. I spent two weeks in Medellín and Cali, mostly in the first city. The Poblado Alejandria Hotel is quite nice, with good furnishing and service; not the Plaza Rosa hotel, very noisy and old (I asked the university to change the hotel, to the good one). I had no problems of recieving guests. I met a selection of the guys who wrote to me by Manhunt. I met also one or two through facebook. From 21 y.o. to 31 y.o. local guys, I had nice meetings almost everyday. With one exception (a very muscled guy, who models underwear) they were not call boys. I visited the sauna Club de Tobi at Calle 47/Carrera 43, nº 88. A good place, easy to meet great men. The massage guys are very attractive as well... I had a nice encounter with one of them, great head on / by him and great muscle body. Summing up, a great country for older men. Epi

I visited Colombia last year, leaving a couple of friends. We keep in touch via messenger, facebook and manhunt. Once in Colombia I localize my Mhunt-profile there; according to my past experience, many young men are more than ready to meet an older gentleman, for free... My times in gay saunas are positive, aswell. Epi

It is my pleasure: le plus grand plaisir après l'amour, c'est d'en parler!! Next month I travel to Colombia, also new posts are comming. No other country, not even Brazil, has so many young guys ready to meet older ones. Delícia!!

Monday, segunda, another great day at Meio Mundo. There is indeed a Mundo Enteiro, since garotos are so hot, so funny and so ready to please. I had a nice encounter (with repeated performance) with a nice gay guy (what a body, gentlemen), but my friend met three nice ones. Today I'm leaving, hélas. Until next year...

Gentlemen, Meio Mundo was very funny yesterday (sexta = friday). I came early but there were some garotos on duty. Soon the place was boosting (with more offer than demand). Current prices, 50 BR. I cannot also see the trumpeted decline or the rising prices in Rio Saunas... I met a handsome, V shaped man (25yo, Hugo), with beautiful dark skin and classic body perfection. Serious, sweet, devoted, a gay to keep. A truly nice programa and after (a free half-programa, may I say). He left and I met a new one: a handsome, stammering bahiano, with beautiful grey eyes and sensual lips, magrinho but powerful. Very client oriented. I left at around 21h. The street Teofilo Ottoni was full of people, from the chopperia next door; it reminded me the streets in Spain, with people outdoors drinking bear, eating petiscos and having fun. I had some myself at President Vargas and came safely, thanks the MetroRio (Uruguaiana), to Siqueira Campos. Today is very nice. I'm looking forward to meeting my new friend (Hugo) at the beach... There could certainly be a relation between garotos and Brazilian economic success: the first ones deliver a good service, cheap to produce, and then the resulted income improves the internal consumption rate sending the economy up to the skies. But everybody knows finally Economics is but a funny grand-ma tale....

Veru close to Siqueira Campos metro station.

Oh, yes... I'm staying in the Jucati Apts., in Copa (bairro Peixoto). A basic two rooms place, with room service, not expensive at all. http://www.edificiojucati.com.br/index_en.htm greetings Epi

I left Curitiba for Rio de Janeiro. Clube 117 was at its pic. Many garotos and many clients... one of them had his anniversary and invited everybody to a select buffet and the show. I cannot see any problem with garotos and their quality... A lot of them at the buffed side, I choose a nice twink, who stand out the mass of big --sometimes too big--- muscles. The guy is from Rio Grande do Sul and he did behave like a true courtisan. Great company. Best greetings Epi

Hallo, gentlemen! Here I am, in Curitiba, Paraná -- Brazil. I arrived on Aug. the 27th, to attend a conference... also not a lot of time to go around. Anyway, here it is my report. (English is a foreing, too foreing languague for me: so excuse bad spelling, vocabulary and sintax). Hotel: I'm staying at the Hotel Mabú, at Praça Santos de Andrade. Very nice and central, very good service and facilities; a 5 stars hotel. And I had no problems recieving guests. Since my hosts provided the hotel, I do not know very much about prices: 200-150 € x day? It is not very cheap, sure. (Everything around here are at European price levels: books, clothing, restaurants...) City: pretty safe and clean by Latinamerican standards (I'm quoting a Brazilian colleague from Sao Paulo, now at Florianipolis). A nice, but small old town. Someting to see: beatiful Botanic Garden, the great Niemeyer bulding so called Museo do Oculo (Eye-museum, from the eye-shaped tower), Opera de Arame... nice, but nothing so special to justify a touristic visit. The must in Parana are the Iguaçu Waterfalls, in Foz do Iguaçu (one hour flight from Curitiba). The Mabu Hotels have a (good) resort there. Weather: some days winter cold (7º Celsius), some days Springtime (in the twenties range). The traveller should bring something hot if visiting this state in late August (Curitiba lays ca. 900 mts above sea level and it is far from the Equador). Food and drinks: as usual in Brazil, they like beef, and churrascos are good; I had a very tasty picanha. Fish meals are mediocre -- at least for an Spanish taste. Since Italian inmigrants are a significant share of the Paranaense population, Italian food is quite popular. There are a local, acceptable production of red wines... far below the Argentinian and Chilean (or, let us say, the Rivera del Duero or Rioja in Spain) wines. People: I have no problems in meeting local (young) people at Manhunt; as you may know, Brazilians like older men (at lest in my 50's). Apart of many contacts and phone colls, I actually met four guys, having sex with three of them (with a furry, blond, nicely malhado young man more than once). I visited two saunas. Last saturday I went to Clube 520, at Senador Souza Neves St. # 520. A nice villa, with good facilities. More clients than garotos (30 to 10 +-), but they said weekends are the worst days for meeting garotos. Another client, rather young & athletic, wanted to play with me, but I did prefer to consider first the garotos offer. Two very muscular, somehow arrogant types (no kissing etc.), two very handsome guys with great difined bodys... 80 reais is the current fare. I had a massage with happy end given by a handsome young man (19yo) for 50, although he asked another 50 for the sex... He accepted at once my offering 80 reais (which is anyway less than in Adan, Madrid, or Thermas, Barcelona). Place open from 16h to 22h. Yesterday (sunday) I went to sauna Opiniao, in 749 Rua Amintas Barros. It is even closer (walking distance) to Praça Santos de Andrade. The place is a less preserved villa (25 reais entrance and 12 cabine, far cheaper than Clube 520). It was almost deserted. I met anyway a nice mineiro 24yo and had an ok-time for 50 reais: nice body, ok-sex (not great), nice conversation... the best I could probably get on sundays! They are open from 16h to midnight. Summing up, it seems that regular working days are better for meeting garatos. The mineiro at Opiniao underlined the segundas (mondays) and quartas (wednesdays) as best days in the sauna; the teen at 520 said segunda to sexta, remembering last friday as a very good day; but I had to work, hélas! My experience corrcets some information of Netgay Brazil: at least partially, 520 is still a sauna with garotos. Greetings from Brazil! Epi

It is indeed. Today I went to Adam, the escort sauna in calle San Bernardo (just opposite the Ministery of Justice -- lol). A quite evening, with 12 clients and same number of guys. Two or three twinks, the rest of them more at the muscular side (and a couple of model quality). I met a Northafrican guy, a certain Rachid from Morocco, muscular and hairy in his 30s... beautiful six pac abs, very nice smile and a great kisser... He asked 50, we settled at 40, but he got 50, since he was so good in the cabine. And so generously endowned that I did not dare to try it. Curiously enough, he was into rimming (very well, indeed), but not into sucking... Greetings Epi

Gentlemen, Madrid is sexually hot this summer. I combine my work with encounters with nice guys. Many young men are ready to accept a date ... with a mature man in his 50s, like myself. There is no need to visit 'Adam' sauna or the hustler bar 'Black and White' in the Chueca dostrict; my very satisfying encounters take place through Manhunt or in the chat forum 'gay Madrid' (Chueca webpage): many of the guys accept an offer (if not, they take it as kind of compliment), give you their msn or skype and connect the cam, so you know in advance what are you meeting later. Many of them are latinos. Since monday I meet (besides two nice guys, one a Spanish worker, one a very endowned Irish -- both not for pay) three beatiful twinks, from 19 to 23 y.o., at 50 € (the third, who happened to be a part-time escort, asked for 70-80 but got 100: he is sooo nice and sexy) ... in my place, a very good bargain. Another two, latinos in the muscular type, are already book for the next days. ;-) I think they like older men, or at least have not any barrier for meeting them and accepting a little gift. To summ up, a good experience. Epi

And besides there are a little sauna in Foz do Iguaçu, with --the manager said-- some boys... I could not wait their arrival... Epi.

Yes, there are 'garatos de programa' in all those places. Prices are between 50--70 reais, if I'm not wrong (but I was there a couple of years ago). There are free and paid rooms. In Sauna 520, at least sometimes, You may meet good looking young men, not for hire; in these case, instead of paying a price You can get a prize... Not my luck in Curitiba, though (but Salvador is another story!)... About English in the saunas: Tomcal may answer this question. I did speak my accustomed 'Portuñol'. Epi.

Well, guys, I'll do my best but please do not forget I'm using a foreing language, not too familiar for me ... the good thing when you are Spanish speaker is that there are no communication problems with the boys in Brazil! I have been only in those three saunas: 520, Opiniâo and Clube 773. There are others, maybe without boys. Clube 773 and Opiniâo are in the city center. The first is the worst: more a bar than a sauna, and not too nice. Boys are ok, though. Opiniâo is better, located in a three-story house and there are always some attractive guys. In both I had a 'programa'. Sauna 520 is located in a residential neighborhood. A nice house, with large facilities (nice bar and resting area), large steambath, a decent pool.. even some free rooms. Every type of boys, from muscular to twink (the last ones dominated the scene in my last visit, not my cup of tea). You may find there young not-working guys, also some cruising is possible aswell. Have good luck in Curitiba! (And do visit the Oculo-Museum, by the great architect Oscar Niemeyer, the Teatro de Rame and the nice Botanic Gardens). Epi

My experiences in Curitiba are pretty good... The one You mention it is not the nicest. I have been several times in Clube 520 (av. Senador Souza Naves, Nr.520), the best sauna with boys in Curitiba.. But there is another one near (walking distance) Praça Santos Andrade: Sauna Opinião (Rua Amintas de Barros, 749-Alto da XV). Have a nice stay in Paraná (and visit Iguaçú falls, if possible). Epi
