MR facebook page is updated daily! they are open on Saturday from 3:00pm to 5:00 AM but it changes at 10:00pm from a sauna to a Sex club ...no sauna(small distinction i know)

Paulerio it was payback for the blonde guy you introduced me to in Prague! (i had to crop it because of the new rules!)

go to the “clubs” section on boytoy and click on that link

i have been in Rio every month during my visits, and the only month i will not go back is July! Brazilians take vacations during july because it is the month that schools are closed, and the middle of Brazilian Winter! The saunas are also slower.

i introduced him to you! :-)

Tasso the saunas don't hire the garotos, whoever shows up with a valid ID (and sometimes a not valid ID)at the sauna can work, since technically it is against the law to make money off Prostitution(except for the prostitute)they will let anyone who they have not had issues with work there! I think very few if any Native indigenous men have ever applies at the saunas in Rio or Sao Paulo, but if they did they could work there! now maybe in the sauna in Manaus there is...but I have to admit I would not be interested!

Badboy remember this was 20 years ago! My response would have been different today, one thing that no ones says about me is that I am shy or afraid to voice my opinions, but I am judicious enough not to make a scene at a party, but rather wait for a one on one conversation at some point! Also I have learned that you are not going to change a ignoramus's opinion, and it's not worth my time!

Thanks everyone for your comments! i remember a conversation i had one time when i had a Cuban BF from ‘97 to ‘99, he has been in the Cuban Navy and when the ship docked in Mexico he hopped on a plane to Houston and made it here! He worked as a trainer in Miami and i thought he was beautiful! When he came to LA for his first visit i had a party with about 25 guys to introduce him and one person came up to me and said “why didn’t you say your BF was Black?” I said “I told you he was Cuban!” It never dawned on me i had to define his skin tone! (He was really black like fresh from Nigeria Black) But it never occurred to me to make a point about it..i was very naive 20 years ago about things out of my wheelhouse! Anyhow, i understand preferences for similiar types person to what we are, i have always liked differences! i grew up in Minnesota where everyone was Blonde, blue eyed and named Johnson/Anderson or Hanson! :-) and that is not usually what i am attracted to...unless i am in Prague!

Best I could come up with, but maybe I just don't have the eloquence of the written word like some...but I thought it got the point of the topic across!

Recently one of our members, SolaceSoulposted this in response to a question regarding why there is not much on the board regarding Salvador and Northern(NE Brazil)? “Because Salvador and the entire Bahia is predominantly black people. It should be plainly clear by now that many of the posters here aren’t “into” that.“ I respectfully disagree, partially with that statement! Here are my thoughts. The majority of people go to Rio and secondly SP because those are the 2 centers of tourism in Brazil especially Rio! Most people reading the board do not go multiple times of the year or even consecutive years there! So naturally they would not pick Bahia, or Salvador or Fortaleza, etc. Secondly, personally i don’t know if any poster personally who does not go with Black sauna guys! i go with whoever i think is “Hot” at the sauna! i think that photo i posted of the 7 friends who were sauna guys at 117, who are at the restaurant shows the rainbow of colors(and for the record i have been with 5 of the 7 more then once!). I know their is bias and prejudice in the gay community but i think it is less in the South of the border group and again partially can be explained by the geography and tourism centers of Brazil. a friend of mine owns Salvador’s gay sauna and their are some very hot sexy guys there!

i will give it a shot at answering some of your questions where i have had current* experience! Over the last 17 years i have seen the saunas change back and forth in popularity but 117 has always remained in #1 or #2 position! Saying that there are nights when it is not the most popular and it is closed on Mondays. For weekend getaways i like Porto Alegre and São Paulo! In porto alegre i always stay in the Moinjos de Vento area which is a upscale neighborhood and has 2 hotels i like, The Sheraton and the Quality Hotel. The Sheraton is attached to a 3story Boutique higher end Mall and the street in front of the hotel is called Padre Chagas and in its 5 blocks has about a twenty plus restaurants, specialty stores, clubs! there is a park that starts a block down from the Sheraton and goes for about 5 or so square blocks, very nice with many joggers on the weekends! Mezziniu sauna has always been one of my favorites it opened in 2007 i by chance happened to be there the week after it opened. best times there are Fri, Sat., Sun. thou not necessarily three nights in a row! I wont go in depth regarding LaGoa as there has been much written already but i like Friday and saturday nights there! Mvan is the resident authority on SP here and can give much better detailed info then i can. i will say the last time i stayed in SP i used Airbnb and got a great place in the Aclimacau neighborhood which was a great location and had a whole house 3bdrs/3 Baths for a really reasonable price

what year was this? because Rogers saunas opened Copacabana in 1973 , Spa 73 in 1990 and 117 in 1997!

Free, as a typical Grindr hookup, comes over to the house, a few minutes of small talk and then hop into bed and a hour or 2 later they head home. NO $$, no food, one did ask if I could uber him home and when I checked it was 32 pesos($1.66US) so I agreed to that. Not that I have seen, most guys, Mexicans or Brazilians have a difficult time judging your age if you are over 35 it seems. Nope, Nada, Nothing regarding their expenses for me it is fucking when I am in town, and depending on the time of day, we may go to a bar afterwards but nothing more then 1 or 2 drinks. He prefers dates but setting up specific time for a date is difficult before I arrive so usually it is set up the afternoon of the day. Individual mileage will vary on this, but for me being a Top, is a definite plus as whether I am in Mexico, Brazil, Prague, L.A. there seems to be 9 bttms for every 1 top! I will say that there is someone who does better then me on the free hookups and that is Florida Rob! I have been in Rio different times when he got a guy for a week staying in the apt, free and in the case of one, a top in demand escort who he was with on and off for about 9 years! but that is a long story...In Mexico, I don't think he ever pays, and I have met up with him many nights at bars and he is with the guys! He unlike me likes to make a whole night of these encounters and does very well.

the private club on here “Brazilian and Mexican Guys” is going to become active but membership is limited to known posters(due to photos being leaked to Garotos) by members, and is at my sole discretion! So i apologize if you are not approved immediately but not taking any chances this time around.

Whoa. this has certainly varied from what i intended this post to be! I thought i was just showing a photo of what a typical late afternoon at the apartment is like in Rio! but like most things it has had its share of surprising turns! with that i will say goodnight!

Basically what it comes down to is what each of us feels what is safe for Them to do! One reason the sauna scene is safer is all the guys ID’s are on file with the mgt., if you are going to take someone back to your place the chances are better if it is a sauna guy! and letting someone know who you are going with!

it is like a car crash off the side of the road and traffic slows to a stop, people don’t enjoy it but they have a need to see the carnage! i don’t think myself this is going to increase participation in the site but rather have the opposite effect! this posts are supposed to be informative not cat fights!

I have just read al the comments and i am smiling! First of, this is a escort review site! ESCORT REVIEW! I have been telling various Americans for years when they say they are in love with a garoto that if they are really in love, then they should say to their Brazilian BF “My love i have lost alll my money in the stock market but at least we still have each other!” and watch how fast their ass is out the door! :-) now keeping that in mind, i know for a fact that the sauna guys like anyone, have clients they like better then others even to the point that they(not all)would take less money and go with one person over another! There is a wealthy American that has been going to Brazil for as long as i have and due to his personality and general nature is not liked by the boys or his fellow Americans! He is pompous, Arrogant, etc., makes no attempt to know one word of Portuguese. One day about 3 years ago i ran into him and he says “you know all the guys are asking $200 - $300R now and have been for almost a year! this means he has been paying that much since 2013! when i was sitting with several guys one night at the sauna and he walked in and the guys all universally groaned! i smiled and asked them why ? they said none of them liked him and they all told him their rates were 2 to 3 times what their normal rates were hoping that would discourage him and if he didn’t at least it would make it more bearable to have to be with him! i have over the years learned at least in my case, if i make it as enjoyable as possible for the guys as i can that i want to see on a regular basis it becomes more fun for me too! while i agree with most comments above, i think only a fool would make statements regarding the sauna scene in Brazil without ever having been there as while some generalities can be assumed to be the same worldwide there are definite differences in culture, gay relationships in different non US/Western European countries! as example, in mexico where my last trip, of the 12 guys i was with, 9 we’re free! In SoCal i am dating a 23 yr old off of grindr for over 1 year, my point being it is becoming more difficult at least for me to say in fact “this is the case or you will find..,” That is why i try to always say Imho or in my case or experience...

Here is another oldie from about 2005, these 7 guys were all neighbors in Niteroi, and all worked at 117 from 2004 or so to about 2008! One of the guys i saw for about 3 years!

tonight. Brazilian Reias $3.91 to $1. US Mexican Peso. $20.04 “. “

Normally no one gets up before 10:30 - 11:00 am, go to lunch then the beach, usually get back around 4 ish and everyone catches up on their emails, texts!

$1.00 U.S.to Brazilian Reias = $3.88 $1.00 U.S. to Mexican Peso = $19.66 these are getting close to all time highs

i never met his brother. He had one of the biggest dicks for sure! He liked to 69 and liked to bttm although everyone assumed he was a top because of his huge dick! I cropped the photo to hide his hard dick! the photo cuts off a mm before his dick shows, about 10.5” and thick

i found several X pics of him so i cropped this one so i could put it here! btw i gave him his name of JFK, Jr but i will let Florida Rob take credit! LOL

His name was Alexi and he moved to Paris around 2006 and worked as a naked gogo boy for several years, i have a video of him dancing there if i can find it i will post it. His younger brother went to work at 117 for a short time when he turned 18 but wasn’t as much fun as Alexi
