The queries will never end ... In addition to the multiple names that might or might not be associated with this place, I see "Planetario" showing on your screen cap. Is this the sauna that's been around for at least a decade? I was staying in Pelourinho (not necessarily advised) and foolishly tried to walk to some sauna in this vicinity. It was the only time I got mugged in Brazil. The neighborhoods and conditions in Salvador change quickly and drastically. It's the only place in Brazil where I could not sense the change until it was too late. I was very rattled, but my dick was not: I still made it to the sauna that day and had a pretty good time. BTW, Google-Mapping "Clube Masculino P11" also brings up Clube Rio's for Men. Google seems to think everything gay is that place.

Zurich would not be a bargain for anything. But "services" in Zurich are still less than in most of the West. I mention Zurich for the slightly different selection you get there: More E. Europeans, if that's your thing, than S. Europeans or Latin Americans. Much more white, though not exclusively so, than BCN or Brazil. Again, if that's your thing.

Skinny guys who wear glasses have dicks to bust asses. (apologies to Dorothy somebody)

I take it back. Garotocomlocal guys are plenty pretty. So two q's: are the pictures and videos on the site generally accurate? How much is the usual rate in relation to the sauna rates? (1.5X, 2X, 3X?)

Are performers of today making more money on OF than performers of yesterday were making off Falcon, Bel Ami, Kristen Bjorn, etc.? ALL of the old porn stars, even huge names like Erik Rhodes, Jason Adonis, Arpad Miklos were rendering up-close-and-personal services. I've had more than one Bjorn star in Barcelona, Rio, and Sao Paulo. After all, that kind of service can't be ripped off by online piracy. I suspect the OF stars of today suffer from online file sharing too, and I've read that the OF income tapers off severely after the fresh-meat novelty passes. I'll check it out. That site does seem to have the less pretty but more hung (much more, dear god much, MUCH more hung) types that Rhyheim casts.

I don't get any indication that he is Portuguese, if that's what you're suggesting.

Are the mega-hung guys in Rhyheim videos available for private sessions? I'm talking about Gabriel Coimbra, Andy Rodrigues, Gael Kriok, etc. Are they in Brazil and what's the best way to contact them? I know Roxas Caelum is advertising in LA (he must be the American exchange student).

This wasn't my impression when I was there last year and called around (though, frankly, there was too much to do in Paris to work in the sex LOL). Very hot, English speaking guys (French and imported) were around 200-250EUR, which is lower than most of the US. LOL. Like it is at Thermas in Barcelona, and that place in Istanbul, and, I believe, officially, in every location in Brazil. The sign says so! (To be clear, I don't have experience in France or know their legal enforcement history.)

Well, no. Just tried and Google Maps zoomed in on something called Clube Rio's for Men. Name change?

Any word on when's the busy night at Python? On the map, it's a short walk from the Sao Joaquim metro station. So although it's a net wash with the closing of 555, it is pragmatically closer than 555 in Pacaembu.

"The Happiest Place on Earth." (Forget Disney)

I spent a Saturday night in BCN late last year. It was like the good old times. Brazilians, other S. Americans, Greeks, a horse-hung Moroccan. The partying goes late into the week hours, so not like Brazil where it winds up at 11 pm. The following day was completely dead but I did find a friendly, strapping Venezuelan. I wouldn't give up on BCN. It's sometimes hit or miss but I've never completely missed. The hottest guy I did in Brazil turned up in BCN a few years later. He is the epitome of mind-blowing (and other things blowing) Brazilian client service, and he's not the only one in BCN. [and maybe add Zurich to your next tour]

Literally. Way too literally, on one occasion.

I do remember him. Very hot, hottest guy in the place. And he knew it. Asked 80E, didn't stick around to negotiate, disappeared quickly. Thinking back, I wish I had taken him up. I've been leery of guys who demand over the "market rate" because I get the feeling stuck up guys wouldn't deliver in the sack. There was a big Hungarian guy (actually Romanian) who said "cada uno tiene su precio" (everyone has their special price) and didn't quite deliver. But maybe I shouldn't generalize. I still remember a stunning, stunning guy back in the glory days of Wednesday nights at Lagoa who wanted 80R (back when that was worth something!). Never saw him again, or a night like that again.

Wait, there's a new garoto sauna opening up near Lagoa?
