Axiom2020

When I read your "thank you," I was eager to read the report. But when I noticed the date, I thought: many things have changed since then and especially since the pandemic has risen its ugly, horrendous head. Things have changed world wide, and it is hoped that by mid 2021 that there will be a semblance of normalcy, but we'll just have to wait and see. I'm not traveling until I take the vaccine, for I DO NOT want to contract the coronavirus at home or abroad. It's an invisible disease affecting anyone.

Muito Obrigado for writing and sharing your adventures and time while in the "Marvelous City." You keenly and clearly brought us into your trip and made for some good reading and vicarious experiencing. ...hope the world will see a vast change by the spring of 2021 or a little time afterwards so that all of us who've been "climbing the walls," so-to-speak, can begin to board planes and experience "the world" once again but under different conditions. I will continue to read your blog and Twitter and your posts here. I will also continue to support and enjoy Rhyheim's Only Fans along with one or two other guys he's supporting by encouraging them to have Only Fans pages as well. Again, thanks, Latinbear 4 Blk.

I'd be game and take on the company of #s 1 and 3 and explore orally "all over," front and back!

I love Bangkok. ...have visited 3 times, but for me I had problems for what you cited in line three: "I went to Freshboys on Saturday 7 November and a lots of boys but most looks underage and skinny." That was my problem in my wanting to off any of the boys that I viewed while being at some of the boy bars in Bangkok as well as in Pattaya. I was much younger then, but again, I had problems being seen with a boy outside of the bars, for the age difference was far too apparent to others who were on the streets and lanes and alleys. This couple was far too conspicuous for me to handle. Whenever I do manage to return, I'll probably have to have my fun on the premises (if allowed) or go to the massage parlors for some torrid play!

...have yet to go to Colombia, but if I were you, I'd begin by going to Brasil since the majority of us here have been to many of the various cities and towns for culture and for the boys/men! In fact, what thread heads this forum? ...have been to quite a few places myself in "Mother Brasil" and hope to return in 2017. ...have gone to the saunas in Curitiba, Rio, and Sao Paulo. My recommendation to you would be to "take the plunge" and go to Brasil. Return. Bask in the afterglows and prepare to return or to venture onward to Medellin, Colombia. As an aside- you might want to go to http://www.daddysreviews.com; join for free, and read the plethora of information that's there as well although this forum is much more current. Please report back in detail on either of your journeys, por favor!

Peter and guys, Luis, a professional guide in Havana, has gotten rave reviews from a few guys with whom I've been in touch on Facebook. He has a wonderful website, too. The one thing that he DOES NOT do is to help one connect with sexual partners; he has that mentioned on his web page if my memory serves me correctly. If I do manage to go next year in February/March-- I definitely plan to engage his services after the tour that I hope will happen. It's for twenty days; afterwards, for at least a week, I hope to explore Havana much further. Two days ago I bought an "E book" for $11US from somebody who goes by Conga. ...paid via paypal. Well, since I don't have an e book, the man managed to send me the pdf this morning. I scrolled through it and had wanted to print, but it has 85 pages. The information is solid. There is one section about avoiding being scammed. From what the man had written on his purchase page, I thought there would be information about gay Habana; unfortunately, there isn't any information. But, that is all right, for I know of a website that gives it on a monthly basis and have cited it here in another thread.

Paulerio, enjoy this vast city. For additional information I'd like to suggest that you read what is at www.gaycities.com/SaoPaulo. This site lists restaurants, clubs, etc. I'm presuming there is salient info. for Sao Paulo. Also, if you desire to do some cultural activities and want a personal guide [non sexual]-- I have a very qualified recommendation. Send me a pct. if you're interested. Again, make the most in being in one of the world's largest cities.

On this site as well as at "the other one"-- there has been lots of discussion as to the fee that the sauna guys in Brasil request and have requested. When I read R$100 AND slightly upwards and bargaining, I cringe, for that "aint" much money for any of us here to pay. Why do I write this? It's definitely not the equivalent in dollars or pounds or Euros, and one would fork out hundreds if in certain European countries as well as various cities within the US. As far as the entrance fee goes, I am not commenting. So men, really think about the money equivalence when you're at the saunas and go from there. Long ago when I first read about the saunas in Brasil, the man who exposed all of us to them wrote that if a guy was with him more than fifteen minutes just to keep company and encourage play, he would give him at least five R$, and during the late 90s-- that was good money. He would tip the towel guy as well. Well, during my travels to Brasil and to the saunas in Rio and to Sao Paulo-- I would follow in the foot steps of the man who introduced all of us "old timers" to the sauna scene and have felt the better for it! ...hope to journey back to Brasil in 2017 going to Salvador [Bahia], Sao Paulo, Porte Alege [a weekend only and my first time] and Rio. ...will commence with making definite plans during the latter part of 2016.

Check out http://www.airbnb.com. I stayed in a lovely apartment in the gay area AND had one guy over for 2hrs only. The apartment block was quiet the entire time. Am not at the site mentioned, but the apartment was not too far from the Sagrada Familiar... incomplete cathedral. I think that's how the apt. is somewhat advertised. Beautiful furnishings, conveniently located,quiet and quite reasonably priced.

JunNJ, I enjoyed the read and the accompanying photos. Muito obrigado! I've never been to Porte Alegre, but read from previous visitors that being there on the weekend is the best time at the saunas. And that's from a guy who've visited Brasil over 100Xs during these years. Also, the possible reason for the guys being at the Sao Paulo saunas on a Sunday is due to the economic situation of the country! The Brasilian economy is apparently in dire straits! I feel sorry for the people!

Oz, our tastes are quite similar!

See what's available at http://www.gaycities.com.

A good web magazine to use as a wonderful source while vacationing in Cuba. It's www.lahabana.com. If it doesn't work, just type into your browser.

Hope you report back [in depth] so that others can read, live vicariously, and use particulars for future journeys!!!!!

Read posts about Porto Alegre that are in the archives; recommendations and specifics about them are located there. Just type in Porto Alegre in the search at this particular forum and read and savor until your heart is content. I've never been but hope to in 2017; I'll use the guidance and information that's given here and proceed from there. Prior to my going to Curitiba some years back after having gone to other places throughout this country, I used what was cited here along with my asking queries as you did, in part, and traveled and enjoyed immensely, thus having me return some 11Xs.

A while ago there were about three or four escort sites on the net for Brasil. Today none of them exist except for the one which JayBlk cited, but when the others were around, I did hire from and for reasonable prices. If their fees are equivalent to the ones asked for by Americans or Europeans-- I would perhaps forego, but if they are R$200-300, that still should not be too bad considering the exchange rate. I wish you success and would appreciate a report here for us if you're amenable to the request. I hope to be in Brasil: Salvador, Sao Paulo, and Rio in 2017 for my 12th trip.

Before I made my very first trip to Brasil in 2002, I asked innumerable questions at "the other site," and the men responded. When I returned and shared, others would ask questions: I would respond, for I believed and still to this day some 14 years later want to add timely information to assist others. I've even had guys, many of them, write me privately to solicit guidance. I was helped: I believe in returning. But, I'm with the guy who started this thread! It's the same of youngsters receiving scholarships and never sending a thank you note to the non profits or agencies or individuals granting these to the recipients.

mjd- please report back (in detail if you are so inclined). Also, ask the proprietor of the lodging if he's aware of any guides who are English speaking, preferably male and gay! I'd love to construct my itinerary as well as use the additional places and interests of the guides. The guides don't have to escort, but if willing, connect me with some hotties who do or do not speak the language (English). If I manage to go to Colombia, I plan to take an electronic translator, but for being a guide-- I'd truly hope and desire a native who speaks English. Have a great, great trip. I'll patiently await your sharing of your experiences with us here!

​We’re patiently awaiting a thorough update!

"Yes, I will tell you guys how it goes when I get back." Please do! Cite the upsides as well as the down if there are any!

When I began going to Brazil for its culture, history, and definitely the meeting of its gorgeous men-- I relied on the information supplied to me by guys from daddysreviews.com. In fact, one man who'd been at the site for a while was the one who introduced "ALL" of us to the sauna scene. From there my/our interests piqued, and off we went. One piece of salient advice given to me/us was NOT to go with the first man who seeks your interest. "Shop around" for as long as you deem necessary! This helped me greatly during my first and subsequent trips, for when I went to one of the saunas in Rio de janeiro which is now defunct, I went in and changed my clothes and made my "command appearance!" Few clients were there, so the men eyed me. One guy had the audacity to follow me and demand his attention. Finally, I was able to get rid of him. That evening I had two encounters. The next night I went to a different sauna and had so much fun which led me back several times before I left, and during this time there were three websites where there were ads. I solicited the services of two of these guys and did not pay overly-inflated prices or prices which are comparable to those of the US and Europe. In a few years to follow, I again hired from the saunas as well as from the websites and did not have any problems with the requested fee, for they were then quite reasonable. But, if you do not speak much Brasilian Portugese, I'd advise you to stick with the saunas and perhaps explore other arenas on your future trips. Read everything that's here as well as the not so current information that's at daddysreviews.com. If you're not a member there, join and access the past and current information. There is still a lot of value over there as well as here! Go and Explore! Let your "big head" rule over the "smaller of the two!" Treat the guys with the utmost of respect! Know the currency rate, for R$100, 150, 200 seems like a lot of money, but in actuality, it is NOT as compared to the Euro and the US dollar. Fall in love with "MOTHER BRASIL!" Please report back here to us who are always interested in the experiences of others. I hope to return in 2017 after eleven previous visits!!!

Remember R$100, R$150 is not very much money. Check out the currency exchange, and you'll see that in our terms-- you're having "fun" for very, very little money. Yes, those sums seem like a lot because in dollars they are a nice sum of change. But remember again, in Euros and dollars, three figures are a lot: $150, E200 etc...... You and your guy agree on the amount. If both consent then it goes! Please let us know about your experience when you return or before if you desire and have the time!!!
