pauleiro

Just arrived in Porto Alegre. Left Rio under the rain, which was supposed to last 4 days and arrived in sunny Porto Alegre where sun is forecasted for the next few days. Before going to Mezzaninu, I was reviewing my Porto Alegre Encyclopedia on boys, written by a guy called Tomcal.

Tuesday Rest. Beach. Luiz from 117 in the afternoon at home. Lovely lad. Very friendly. Gorgeous body. He presented me the site of Buzios (his hometown) which was "discovered" by Brigitte Bardot in the beginning of the 60s.There is even a statue of Brigitte in the city. Supposed to be a lovely place, but too far to pay a visit. I wonder how can someone be a garoto de programa since many months and remain so friendly, so passionate ? Generally speaking, I am amazed at how friendly the boys are during the sessions. I manage to select them carefully through discussion and live kissing test prior to the session. I avoid the ones which I remember were not that friendly, the ones I know from discussions with other customers that they do not do much. They are friendly, but none is as friendly as Luiz. Sweet and Strong. Exactly what I like. Another meeting is planed after the week end I am going to spend in Porto Alegre ! I will not post a picture of him, but only a picture of his tattoo and juicy lips. If you see this tattoo in 117, you can enjoy the owner !

Sunday I had to sleep until 3 pm to recover (partly) from the previous night. Then I went to a sauna I have not visited so far: Pointe 202. It is the only sauna in Copacabana, with a walking distance from the place I stay. I arrived around 6 pm and was immediately welcome by the cashier. He kissed me hello and immediately asked about a friend of mine. He was really disappointed when I told him that I was alone this time and that my friend would come back only at the end of the year, as usual. Very disappointing atmosphere in Pointe on a Sunday night. Some boys, not so many customers and therefore boys put some pressure on the customers to get business. I was approached by 3 men who came to show and have me touch their assets, then they stayed do chat and to try to get business. One of them remembered our discussions from last time. I did not even remembered him, until he told me that he spend 2 years in Spain and 3 years in Italy (Milano), working in a sauna where some boys are tolerated, even though it is not legal in Italy. He has very average face, body and I was not willing to go with him. So he left, but tried a couple of times to come back or to join me when I was in the sauna. The second one, Ricardo, had a great face but a body which was suffering from too much beer or too much food. Some belly is not a problem to me, but belly and a fat ass is a bit of a turn off. His great face and great look did not really compensate that drawback and I ended up boyless that night, and I must say, happy to be so ! I did not found a boy I would really fancy. There was a huge man, with large tattoes all around his body, an incredibly huge dick. But what could I do with him ? Shoudl I rent a crane ? Anyway, it was good to go to bed early ... Monday Following the suggestion from demedici, I wished to have a look at soldiers and firemen doing their jogging in the Aterro (which is a park in Central Rio close to the domestic airport). I was there at 7.30 am but it was clearly too late and there were mostly old gentlemen and girls. Not a large number of shirtless soldiers and firemen. Just a few ones. Anyway, it was occasion for me to do some jogging, which is not bad. I spend the evening in Meio Mundo, which is normally the busiest night in this sauna. Once again, I was a little disappointed by what I saw. There were a couple of boys that I recognized from 117 or from Pointe 202, the ones doing absolutely nothing in the bedroom, but good at selling their asses before the session. I was waiting for a friend and had to spend the time in a pleasant manner. Eduardo was there, putting again some soft pressure for me to take him, but I was not ready to do so. Tiago proposed a nice massage and confirmed that he remember "very well" my friend who was here last December. True or falso, who knows ? Then came an "indio", Rafealo, nice slightly exotic face, nice body, lovely soft skin. He came to sit with me, I offered him a drink and we started chatting. I discovered a pleasant personnality together with a big dick and an indio accepting to do passive. So we went to a free room and had fun. Session with Rafaelo was good. Certainly not the best I had, but ok. I was still waiting for my brasilian friend (finally he did not come to join me) and I was looking for the guy I had seen the first time I came to Meio Mundo last wednesday. A student look, perfect face, "branquinho". He entered the very moment I was wondering if he was going to come. He immediately noticed my interest in him. It is not good to remain speechless in front of a boy: he understands that he is wanted and tends to increase his price ... I left him say hello to the persons he knew, then we meet again in the bar, and finally he came to me smiling when I was trying to phone to my friend, staying in the corridor just under the sign "do not stay in the corridor". He smiled showing the sign saying that I should not say there. I told him that I did not understand Portuguese posters and we started to chat. I was in love with him the very moment we started to discuss. Lovely face, beautiful eyes, very kissable mouth, nice well defined body, good dick (nothing to compare with some huge tools that can be seen in the saunas in Rio, though), very sexy white buns with the mark of the swimming suits. Mmmm. Luis is his name. He is from the South of Brasil, not too far from Porto Alegre. After our discussion, we went frist to have a sauna together and then to a room. Perfect session. Luis is 21 and is a born kisser. He loves to kiss, endlessly. Good sucker, and pleasant and funny partner. We plan to meet again next monday. I hope he will accept me to take some pictures of his splendid body and in particular of his perfect white ass surrounded by sun tanned areas. To the contrary of most of the boys I discussed with, he does not consider that "95% of the customers are passive". On the contrary, he tends to think that most of the customers are active. I did not realize that it depends on the boy: passive customerswill go with muscular hunks with big dicks, while active will be focusing on the boy next door type such as Luis. It is indeed hard for an active to ignore Luis' ass ... Tomorrow, I should meet at home Luiz Henrique which whom I discussed today, then I think it will be time to close the first part of the stay in Brazil and move to Porto Alegre for the week end ...

Some pictures of Casa Grande The stairs are a very strategic place ... First floor Room

Saturday Afternoon with Junior. Night in Boite Casa Grande in Bantu. An incredible experience ... Boite Casa Grande is located in the neighborhood of Bangu (30 kms from Rio), west of the municipality of Rio de Janeiro is a home run the GLS and to you that is very MAN and enjoy a transvestite, biba doll and boy, here's your point. Every Saturday from 22:00 h boite a boil. Besides an excellent disco music is full of dark corners. ** All are welcome, gays, transvestites, dolls and MEN. We arrived around midnight. Entrance is 15 R$. Maybe 150 persons already present. Large majority are brasilians boys between 20 and 25. Maybe 20% of tranvestites, sometimes roughly transformed (ie men only wearing a wig and a dress and some make up). Music is good. A little louder than a 747 taking off in front of you. 2 bars are available. One on the ground floor and the other on the first floor, close to the swimming pool which is not in use. And lot of action everywhere, in particular on the stairs and on the black corners. There are basically 3 small back rooms, one being lit by the stroboscopic lights from the dancing floor, which means action is clearly visible. The stairs are impressive. Men stay there stroking their cocks and transvestites walk up or down and wank them, sometimes they stop and start sucking them or being fucked before going to the next one. In the back rooms, the "girls" suck all men around and then stand up and are fucked by all men willing to do so (all seem to be willing). Huge cocks everywhere. When we entered, my friend Junior told me in portuguese "it is very important not to ???? the transvestites". Unfortunately, I did not understand the word and the music was so loud that we could not exchange much on the exact meaning of what was not to be done .. He also mentioned that I should never pay for action in a back room, but go to the bar and give money there, in the open. Basic safe principles it seemed to me ... Anyway, I am not at all attracted by the transvestites. Many of the men there are good looking and I would not refuse to spend some time with some of them. Good looking muscular guys. Of course I am turned off by the fact that all the action is done bareback. I was thinking that condoms would be provided, but no and of course no one brought its own. I was clearly dreaming ... Junior has found a nice young boy that he introduces me as his husband (in fact his wife, but he does not want to mention it in public). We had a first action when we entered and when he was showing me the place. A young lad came with us in the back room, dropped his pants and let us stroke his cock. More action was possible with him, obviously ... He got a beer for his gentileza ... What is incredible is that in the middle of this orgy, there are some twinks. wandering around. A couple already came to see me and their smile was more than inviting. I was not interested and did not follow up. I tried to spot a couple of hunks who were participating to the orgy, but none showed interest in discussing with me. After some time, though, a nice looking young lad came to me and started chatting with me. Where I was coming from, how I had found the place, what I was thinking of the action, etc. I was also making some questions. Nice chat. After some time he proposed me some action. We discussed about the price and agreed on 20 R$. He will suck me and bottom for me. He proposes that we rent a room. 4 rooms are available. No one is really using them. 20 R$ for the room during 45 minutes. Sarney is good looking. Nice face. Of course, I normally enjoy more muscular guys, but I was not going to lose this opportunity. He is a good sucker and licker. He is soon bottoming. Of course, I brought my own condoms and gel, just in case and it proved useful. At least, before we started action, he asked about "camisinha" (the word for condom in brasil, meaning "little shirt"). He is a great passive. Perfect smooth tight ass. When it is over, he gives me his phone number and proposes another session in my room. Maybe I phone him ... I met Junior and we leave. Junior is a Brasilian friend who is into boys. He likes to go to saunas, but he likes to pick up his boys in the streets. We stop at 3.30 am on our way back to have something to eat and he comments the boys who might be available. I am not really willing to do more tonight. Success rate of asking a boy in the street to have a blowjob is really high in brasil. Finding a boy who will accept to bottom is rather easy. Of course, you need to know where to go and portuguese is a must. After we leave the place where we had something to eat, Junior continues to comment the other places along the road where action can be found. At some point of time, we go through a city where there are lots of soldiers. Staying on a bench at 7 am, while soldiers are doing their jogging is action guaranteed. And of course with great looking muscular young guys. I was thnking to retire in Eastern Europe. Maybe in Brasil ? at home around 4.30 am. What a night !

Friday When I decided to go out for the evening, I had decided to have a break and not have another boy that night. I went to Club 117. After some time, I met Jonathan. Jonathan would make most members here melt only looking at him. He is rather short, well defined, with hazel eyes and blond hair. A gorgeous smile. I met him under the showers. He removed his tight white undies and showed a very thick and very hard cock. He came to me smiling. It was clear that he had not been here a long time since he did not know which showers had only cold and which had both cold and hot water. We chatted under the showers then continued discussing outside. I asked him how much he wanted. He said that he was not into penetration. "Only a little" he said. "You can enter just a little". I wonder what does that mean ??? It is same as to be " a little pregnant" ... And he continued : I suck very well without condom. And kiss very well also. About the price, he asked 100 Reais, which is double than Junior asked me the day before. For a night together, he mentioned 400 Reais. He accepted 80 Reais for a session in the club and 300 for the night. But did not accept less. OK there are other boys ... I had noticed another boy, with very nice face and eyes, muscular body. I nodded to him and when he saw that I was alone in the bar later, he came to me and introduced himself as Luiz Henrique. I had some difficulty in undestanding this name, which is not very common, in particular with a "z" (normally in portuguese, luiz is written luis). A gorgeous hunk. We started to chat. He explained me that he was shy and only came to me because we had eye contact in the showers. His face and body are incredibly sexy. I still decided not to go with him, but I was feeling my will decreasing from one minute to another ... We chatted about what he was doing in sex. Everything was the answer. I like boys and girls, he said. I asked then if he had another job and he told me that he was a soldier in the navy. He showed me some pictures of him in a blue naval suit. And I knew at that time that I had to go with him, whatever my resolution had been. I have a soldier fantasy. I was so pissed not to have gone to Prague when soldiers were regularly going to the bars, dancing nude on the tables, having the customers grab their cocks and asses, having sex for some money. I was not going to lose the occasion of having fun with a brasilian soldier ! In addition, with the name he has, I would have the illusion to make love to the son of the King of Spain ! We went to a room. And it was pure pleasure during 45 minutes, kissing his red and sexy lips, mixing our tongues, cuddling, showering, being sucked... When it came to fucking, even though I was dying of desire to fuck him, I told him that I would certainly not be able to fuck him, after the various sessions I had previously. "Of course you will. I will arrange that". He started to lick me, suck me, wank me while I was touching his perfect chest, looking at the dragon designed on his upper arm and upper chest, caressing his muscular arms. His patience, confidence and skills overcame my fatigue. He was right. I managed to fuck him and he seemed to enjoy it. I loved it. A lovely lad. Worth a repeat, or repeats at home. That should happen after the week end ... Mmmmm Rio .... _________________

Thursday A little sad that Felipe had left Rio for going to Recife. He is a perfect partner. I can feel that he likes bears and takes certainly as much pleasure as I do myself. At least it is pleasant to think it is the case ... (in addition he makes some money, which is always good). I had really great time with him. It is pleasant to speak with someone intelligent about different subjects. Even though he has a great look he told me that he should have got his father's eyes (blue) and forehead , his mother's nose (small) and hair. Instead of that, he got all the opposite: the brown eyes from his mother, the future likely baldness from his father and his big nose ... Lol We chatted about many subjects, Language, Movies, thrillers in particular: La piel que habito (last movie from Almodovar) - known in English by The Skin, with Antonio Banderas, the Silence of lambs, Perfume, the story of a murderer (I would never imagined that I would speak one day in Brasil of this incredible movie !) ... He made comments also on the strange requests from some punters that he sometimes accepts. Beeing asked to pee on the customer is one. He did not accept one request: a customer who asked him to "cagar na boca" (shit in his mouth). He did not accept, telling that he would not be able to do that. It did not take long to the customer to find another boy willing to shit in the customer's mouth ... That is Kinky !!!! I would have loved to spend more time with Felipe, ... But there are other boys, I am sure ... Maybe we keep in touch. He told me that he would need to be cautious if we were to meet again (meaning that he might fall in love with me). I love to think that it might be true ... On Thursday nite, after part of the day at the beach, I went to Meio Mundo. Surprinsingly, there were not so many boys. Normally the majority of the boys in Meio Mundo are not my type and I do not go very often to Meio Mundo. But one (good) boy is enough to have a great evening ... There is no real wanking room in Meio Mundo as in Club 117 and the boys just wank in the middle of the customers. On my way to the bar on the second floor, I saw two black guys in the boys' locker room, wanking incredible huge dicks, looking at potential customers and smiling ... Unbelievable ! I recognize some boys from my last trip among whom, Eduardo. I remember very well the discussion we had together the previous time, about his family, his hobbies, ... Eduardo wanks and when he considers that his dick is sufficiently hard, he takes your hand and stroke his cock with your hand. Of course, some customers may consider that they cannot not go with him after that. Not me. I told him that I was not looking business tonight. I acknowledged his efforts, but would not go. He listens. Agrees. And takes my hand again for a few additional strokes. His dick is incredibly hard. Real wood. After some time, I noticed Junior. I went with him a few times. Junior has a very nice face, beautiful eyes, an average body with a slightly hairy chest, that I like. But what I like is that he is an excellent bottom. Fucking him is great. He knows what to do, how to move. Great. And he does not overcharge asking 50 Reais, ie 22 €. He lives very close to my place in Copacabana and we agree in having another session. I think it is great to have an apartment in Rio. First because it is cheaper and it is convenient to invite some selected boys to have a session. I do not like the cheap and sometimes not so clean rooms in the saunas, Meio Mundo in particular. After the session, after a drink, maybe it is time to come back to my place. It is only around 8 pm and there are still persons in the street. I decide to take the bus to come back to Copacabana. Junior had explained me where to take it and which bus to take (455). This bus comes rather frequently, even during the night, and stops only 2 or 3 times before going to Copacabana, so it is very rapid. At this time of the night, many seats are empty and travel is pleasant. Totally safe in my opinion: in addition to the driver, there is another person who is on board to receive the money for the trip for the passenger (2.75 Reais). I now understand the meaning of RS3 (or 2 or 1) which is mentioned very clearly in front of the bus. Back to my place. Time to have something to eat and a drink outside. Close to the apartment are many girlie bars, and at this time of the night, most of the girls are going to work. Big boobs everywhere. Big smiles also: it is clear that I could be a potential customer ... Another great day in Rio !

I was in Club 117 yesterday and met a recent garoto called Jonatan. Rather short, well defined, hazel eyes and blond hair, with a thick dick. He wanted 100 R$ for a session in the sauna, but accepted 80 R$. An overnight was offered at 400 R$, then reduced to 300, but not less. He mentioned that an overnight can be from midnight until 7am or longer, including dinner and breakfast (and what is around), which is more 12 hours than 7. Finally, I did not go with him, but was interested in knowing how far he would go. It seems to me very difficult to have an allnighter for 125 R$. Will check again with my new target, Luiz Henrique. A treat ! .

One of the bear sites is ursos.com.br. There are more brasilians into the bear scene than I imagined. There is a bar called La Cueva in Ipanema. Felipe told me that is was not bears, it was "geriatry". He added that people going there are 'beyond 90 and death". I had idea to go there to have a look, but no longer now. There is also a place called Turma OK and Ursos do Catete. Generally speaking, I am amazed by these boys who are admirers, sometimes really attractive, who genuinally love bears. I am fluent in Portuguese. Of course it helps

Maybe most of you know a site giving the program of the shows at the sauna in Rio and Sao Paulo, together with some updated information on the gay scene. I discovered it and it is very useful. There are also information on some escorts, certainly very expensive, with prices designed for tourists) http://www.netgay.com.br/ For the shows during the week end, it is only updated on Friday and information of which show was visible the previous week end is left until the following Thursday. It is how I learned that last week there was a live sex show in Club 117 with stars of the gay porn movies. I would have loved to see that show, which has been described by one of the participants on this forum. This week is "Wellington Lopes and Compania de danca". Not sure it is going to be as hot ... There is also a place which is advertised on this site that I would like to discover: Festa do Vale tudo, where there are frequently shows of "sexo ao vivo" (live sex shows) The 'FESTA DO VALE TUDO' is an event foccusing exclusively the gay male public which takes place every fifteen days in down town. The outfit suggested is swim swit, underwear, jockstrap or naked. In the place everything is allowed and nothing is obrigatory. The address is Rua do Mercado, 25 Praça XV - Rio de Janeiro. The price is R$ 30,00 (promotional price) from 3 pm until 5 pm and R$ 40,00 from 5 pm until 10pm. In April, it is planed on April 8, 15 and 29, 29th being defined as "Orgia en alta mar" 'Orgy in High Seas". A whole program attachment=12772:ANUNCIO-ABRIL2012BLOG.jpg] Maybe a place like Gayligola, which is disappointing, from what I heard.

I assume your prices are in Reais and not USD, so I did pay a little too much. The price difference between a session in sauna, (which is around 50 to 60 Reais in Meio Mundo and around 70 to 80 Reais in Ponte 202 or Club 117, most boys asking for 100)and an overnight in an hotel is therefore not that big and a bit surprising to me. In the case of Felipe, we left the sauna around 8 pm and he left around 9 am the next morning. He drove me to my place with his car. I did not have to pay for the sauna room (30 Reais), nor the taxi (25 Reais), had I taken one.

Thanks for the great reports ! Can I have an idea of the rate for taking a sauna boy for a night ? Gayromeo is not an indication since the amount asked for a night there are often in the 700 € to 1000 € range (or USD). The minimum being something like 500 USD. Thanks in advance !

Rented an apartment in Copacabana. Everything went smoothly. Pick up at airport was on time, keys were available when I arrived at appartment, internet was working, ... Arrived a little late on Tuesday night to pay a visit to the saunas. Great weather in Rio at this time of the year. It is nice to have an apartment with view on the beach (even though it is a side view and I have to go to the window to see the beach. Wednesday, I went to Club 117 around 5.30 pm. Surprised by the small number of boys. Had a great massage waiting for more boys to arrive. I was approached by a few boys of course, but did not really fancy them. Nice chatting thought, particularly in the wanking room ... Finally Felipe came. Felipe is a tall great looking guy, "branquinho" as they say here (his grand father was italian). Among his other characteristics, he likes bears, which means he is at the same a garoto de programa, but also enjoying what he does, at least with some customers. He even has a profile on a bear site in Brasil (ursos.com.br). Unfortunately, he is leaving on Thursday to Recife and will stay there with a customer until April 9th, which is just the day after I leave Brazil. I already went with him last time and did enjoy my time with him. He did remember perfectly the various sessions we had together, remembered that I was French and started to speak about his recent stay in Paris. Felipe is a hot hunk, with muscular chest, legs and arms who used to do modeling before being a boy in the sauna. Good looking, good kisser, easy going, with a thick cock, it is not suprising if he goes often on private trips with customers. As a matter of fact he did spent part of last December and January in London, Pari and Venizia with a rich punter. I proposed him that we go home instead of having a quick session in the sauna. He was happy to accept and we reached an agreement. The price of the session inside the saunas have been widely discussed here, but there is no indication, as far as I remember, on the price of a night in an apartment. Will the specialists here be as kind to post some information on the price of a full night in hotel or apartment ? We took his car to go to my place. He made my listen some of the current brasilian singers, while singing himself and stroking my leg and some other parts of my person. Good to hear Fafa de Belem in these conditions ! I had great time with Felipe. A first long session before going out for diner in a nearby restaurant that he knew. And another cool session when we came back from restaurant. Plus a quick cuddling session in the morning. Lot of sex and lot of fun. Lot of chat also. I was interested to know the story of Monik, the woman managing the Club 117. She was a garota de programa also, working in the former 117, which at that time was a club for females. She was invited to marry a rich italian and asked him to buy the 117 place that she transformed into a sauna for garotos. Clun 117 is really well managed, always very clean. She knows how to suck the money from customers, proposing all kinds of services such as massage, and shows. She started a cleaning activity in order to clean all the towels which are used in the club and opened this cleaning service to all other customers and it turned out to be a very profitable activity. With Felipe we had long chats about how he decided to be a garoto de programa, how he was "in love" with some customers, not accepting them to go with other boys, not accepting to go again with them when they had done so, "choosing" his customers, not willing the too old, the too ugly, telling them that "he was waiting for a customer". That was at the beginning. Now, as he says, he goes with short, old, fat, ugly, indians, whites, blacks, you name it ... Of course he does not the same program with everyone. When I told him that he was still very tight, he laughed saying "luckily" and commenting that 95% of his customers are passive. Good start of stay in Rio ! And it is pleasant to have an apartment.

I do not think there are shows at Action Bar during the week. I was only in Budapest during week ends

In Budapest from March 15th to 18th. March 15th is the National Day. Great weather. Great time in Rudas Baths (but no sex). Remembered me the movie from Kristen Bjorn which was shot in this very place (The Vampire of Budapest). Action Bar was great. Excellent live show with 2 great models fucking live Not a picture of the show, but the models were the same. I could not resist and invited Michael Troy (on the right in the picture above) to my place. Lovely lad. Great time. Perfect escort. Saturday was Oral Academy as usual. Two good looking guys with huge hard on on stage, kissing and sucking and then going to the public to be sucked by whoever wants to suck them. Very hot !

I will be in Rio from March 20th to 29th and then from April 2nd to 8th. In between, in Porto Alegre, of course ! Not going to Argentina this time. Anyone around can contact me.

He is really lovely !

Just ending a stay of almost a week in Prague. Had a hot shaving session with a couple of boys from Escape. Met really nice boys, in particular from gayromeo: I had great time with Niko-niko and Tomas-CH among others. Pics they posted on GR: Niko-niko Sorry Titan is one of the studios not permitted for posting. TY Tomas Tomas has great green eyes and a lovely smile. Not to mention the rest ...

Villa Mansland is a nice place, with sometimes boys around, but it is a little far from the center (however with he metro, you can be at central station in less than 20 minutes : 10 minutes walk and wait for metro and 10 minutes of metro). I used to stay there when I started coming to Prague in summer. There is a garden and it is very pleasant to stay outside with a beer and a boy ... In addition it was very safe: when you brought a boy at night, there was always someone checking and keeping the ID of the boy and present in the bar. It is very clean and it is pleasant to get up an have your breakfast ready. In addition, there are often some other guests to chat with. There are also some activities going on, particularly on week ends or on special events such as the owner's birthday. I now go there regularly to have a beer on a saturday, see who is present and what is the show of the night if any. Some of the boys who are in the Villa are not to be seen anywhere else. Some are also to be found in Monty or in Temple.

Istanbul Gay Clubs I went to three clubs, TekYon (Address: Siraselviler Caddesi (street) No 63/1 Beyoglu), Club 17 (Address: Istiklal Cad. Zambak Sokak, No: 17 Taksim) and Ekoo (Address: Tarlabasi Bulvari No: 32 Beyoglu) Generally speaking, these clubs are rather expensive (one beer or one coke is 10 $ ...). In addition you need to pay for the cloakroom (3$). There is no show for this price and action starts very late. They are opened indeed at 11 pm, but there is no one until at least 12.30 am ! Things start really at 1 am. After having said that, I must said that I did enjoy 2 of the places above. Ekoo is a small bar, where a mix a bear, rentboys, queens, travestites gather. Each member of any group seem to know and accept members of other groups. Rather strange afmosphere and place where you can see at the same time a queenie twink dancing in front of a mirror, admiring himself with his ass grabbed by a gay friend and a travestite spealing and laughing with a bear ... Not so bad. Nothing to pick up though ... The second day, I went to Tek Yon. Tek Yon used to be a very friendly bear bar. Since they moved to a new location in 2009, they are catering to the same wide scope as in the case of Ekoo. Very nice place, large dance floor, good music. Outside patio for smokers. Very friendly staff, welcoming you, speaking to you as much as possible, very friendly boss explaining the rules, ... I arrived a bit early also but enjoyed the music and the place. Lot of staff for serving the expensive drinks. Staff is wearing a shirt with a large arrow in the back, with a mention Tek Yon, the arrow clearly in direction of the guy's ass ... Very inviting. I thought that Tek Yon meant something like Bear Den, but, speaking to one member of the staff, I understood that the meaning was "one way", which he said with an inviting gesture showing his own ass ... Not my type at all. But funny. I spotted rapidly a rentboy. Very nice. Black curly hair, nice face, great smile, well defined body. Problem : he was with a local punter. Eye contact was not sufficient to make any move and I went back to my hotel boyless. Finally the last day, I went to Club 17. Very disappointing. Long corridor with a bar. Concrete walls. Some rentboys. No interaction at all. Went to bed earlier than the other days. In summary, a nice week end, but boywise (for both show and action), better to go to Prague,Budapest in Europe or worldwide to Brazil of course, or even to some US cities eg in Florida.

Boywise, Istanbul is not the paradise ... but Istanbul is a nice city. Spent a long week end there Took the bus from airport to Place Taksim where most of the gay clubs and action are. Went to a small pleasant hotel in the area. Since I was looking at a map, many people asked me where I was going, where I was coming from and finally one even took me to the hotel. Turkish people are very friendly. Istanbul is an amazing city. People are very pleasant. Strange mixture of Europe and Asia, of strong and soft islam. Lots of places to visit, to see, to feel. Loved it ! Hagia Sophia (Holy Sophia) in particular was stunning. Incredible result of a former catholic cathedral which was transformed into a muslim mosque, one of the most difficult problem to solved was to have the mosque looking towards the Mecqua ... As for gay places, I started by Taksim square and Park since it is a well known pick up place. Around the square and in the park, on the Bosphorus side. Indeed some hustlers are clearly visible. I was approached by 2. Did not approach any for 2 reasons : - they were ugly - sorry, but there no different world. Poor face, poor body. Of course no English is spoken. One was more or less ok, but not at all my type. Of course I have no clue of how much they ask. - there is a large police station in the park and the park and the square are permanently (day and night) patrolled by policemen. There are stories on internet of people having approached a lad there and being arrested by the police, only because they were starting to speak and they were not turkish ... There are also stories of a guys having been followed a cute lad to the bushed in Taksim park and being attacked and robbed, or another story of a man having taken 2 guys back to his hotel to be first fucked then robbed. Gay activities are really underground is Istanbu, it seems. Many internet sites are not available: it is the case of gayromeo and, even if I had wished, I could not have taken a contact with one or two models who were there. Generally speaking, all turks are presenting themselves as only active, only only top. Only some queenie models seem to admit they can be passive. Other internet sites which are not available are porn sites, such as Seancody. Turkish Baths (Hammams) A policy to fight against cruising places seems to have been implemented since 2007 and most of too openly gay hammams were indeed closed. At the moment, there is not any gay exclusive Turkish hammam in Istanbul. But there are few bath houses the gay men would go very often. The owners and managers of them do not want to be displayed on gay websites and keep sending to the webmasters e-mails for that. Finding a list of these sites is not easy ... Following the advice from Maleire, and after having read some recent negative comments, I decided not to go to Aquarius. I managed to find one hammam. Very hard to find. Very old building (hammam opened in 1445). It is called Firuzawa Hamami on Cukur Kuma 6. I did not know what I was to find inside ... You enter the place, can rent a room or go to the general lockers, which I did, receive flip flops and a cloth. You undress and you go in the hammam, which is composed of a very hot place, with a large marble plate which is heated at rather high temperature, surrounded by small basins where hot and cold water can flow.. There is another room, a shower room, a "cold" room, and another room with a sauna. I was offered a massage which I accepted not knowing which type of massage it would be. I explained only that I needed it later. I wished to see what was going on before with other patrons ! Of course, in this hamman, no one really spoke English. However people are very much welcoming you. When I entered the hot part of the hammam, many people were already lying on the hot marble surface. One was being massaged with a hard on visible under his cloth. The employee soaped him and massage him everywhere, insisting on the crotch and the ass. Then I know which type of massage I wanted. The employee, at least in this particular case did not go all the way to the happy endind. I wonder if they go. Certainly not in public areas. No Rentboys in the place, but hot action in the cold room. All people wanking and sucking. Most patrons are between 30 and 50. I was surprised because most of the patrons had rather small dicks, even in full erection. It was well-known in Algeria where the colonizers who preceded the French, were the Turks. One tried to have me suck his dick, but I rarely suck and never in these places. On the other hand, I had a rather skilled sucker sucking mine while stroking his small tool. Compared to them, I was considered "huge".. I do not have the same sensation in Brazil ... The massage was hot, as planed. I left the place completely relaxed. staff was also very friendly when I left and told me to "come back tomorrow", which I did. It was even better.

Mmm Yummy lad above. Do not remember having seen him in Pointe. But worth trying to meet him next time I am in Rio !

I will soon be in Istanbul for a few days. Has anyone gone there ? Any recomendation ? It will be appreciated !

Indeed. He changed his name on his profile, because until last week he was MiloPeters !!

I agree totally. I do not like his face. I am also a face (and in particular eyes) guy and I think I will not go with him. MIlo, on the other hand, is really worth a repeat !
