Is it operating on a random schedule?

Do you mean at their re-opening? Indeed, it sounds like they've had a rough time since the relocation a year or two ago, so I was wondering if things have changed. Yup, interest-blindness gets us all. However, what I liked about the old Fragata at least was that there were usually 2-3 muscle beauties of top Lagoa quality (Lagoa might have 10-20 of those, but how many do you really need?!) plus usually 2-3 freaks of cock-nature. But everyone in between I wouldn't be able to identify in a police line-up.

You are my hero. This has never worked for me. And yes, I remember that every other young guy in full vigor is a part-time cop, from the muscly art student selling oil paintings on El Conde to the go-go boy on stage.

The problem is that in the US, our "attestation" is a 10-cent card that the lab tech handwrote in. No picture, no lamination, no official-looking stamp (very popular overseas). I'm worried these would get rejected. I certainly would if I were serious about keeping out the unvaccinated.

Do you mean that over longer time frames, the daily count inaccuracy evens out?

Before my last trip to Colombia, I made a concerted effort to chat up some cam guys, including a gorgeous Bel Ami-like muscle twink on Chaturbate. Absolutely no luck.

Were you at Lagoa? What were the garotos who were there like? (Keeping in mind I favor the type who never mess up their hair.) I'm hoping you'll have a chance to explore Clube 555 and report back. My dreams of a November trip are getting more faint due to work if not travel regulation anxieties.

What about the vaccination proof once you are there? Or the local "passport" I heard SP or RJ was instituting?

For a different experience, stay at Thermas overnight! You'll see which guys basically live there. It's a diverse mix of 5-6 guys. You can play around in the open, in the showers, in various places in the near-empty building. If you had any fantasies about being locked in a gym and discovering its erotic secrets, this is close. LOL. The premium rooms are 9-10 EUR per hour. Some clients and guys use that for their overnight dates, which would be convenient for coming out every now and then to grab a third wheel. But there's no "pernoite" rate that I know of.

You mean Junior/Caio/Edson/Emerson/Judson/Jefferson with the sculpted body, fashionably-ripped jeans, flashing smile, perfect hair, a cock that needs its own government-issued ID, and always a mirror in proximity would NOT make for marriage material?

MD Massagem has a full menu of services including tantric and "lingam" massage. The expository text is amusing but it isn't clear whether "extra," i.e., penetrative services are included or available and for how much.

I've been in Argentina during hyperinflation. Everyone seems shell-shocked. "Cobra y compra": You get your money and you go shopping immediately. If you can't trade for dollars, buy steaks, oil, flour, anything, because it will be more expensive tomorrow. When people cut back when prices go up, inflation gets tamed. When people accept higher prices, inflation becomes a part of life. But when people are racing against prices, that's when it turns into hyperinflation.

When I was there almost 3 years ago it was drug addicts laying out on the street. Nothing seemed open or alive when I got to 57a during the daytime and I didn't get the urge to return at night. I'm intrigued by Gus Van Sant-style street hoods, but this was way beyond that. I hope you report back something different.

Afghan men are gorgeous. But this is the wrong forum so I'll stop here.

I'm seriously eyeing a trip in early November. Depends on how the airline cancellation/change policies currently are.

Is that a recent phenomenon? My info is from about one year ago, that the lack of tourists was hurting them. $200 seemed to be what it was heading toward before covid, but I'm not sure what the situation is now. R200 was the most I ever paid, about 4 years ago. And that was a tall Arabic-looking guy at the end of the night, when he could and seemingly NEEDED TO cum. We had negotiated 150 with no mention of porra. He did it without mentioning any up-charge, but I thought it was worth a big tip.

My, the underground social history that needs to be written about the Brazilian sauna scene.

There's been more recent info about garoto rates, but they seem to have held steady over the past several years. Start at 100, don't go more than 150, and leave room to give them a little extra for good service. Have fun. Be safe, be alert, be kind!

Curitiba has been called the Minneapolis of Brazil: Clean, orderly, pleasant, a little boring. There are gorgeous young men and women with a stew of German, Polish, Ukrainian, Iberian, and Latin heritage (model scouts allegedly dig through the back-country here) but the best guys go to SP and Rio to work. Too uptight to ply their trade at home. I'm glad I went, but adjust your expectations. Florianopolis is nice if you can find some undeveloped stretch of beach. When I was there 20 years ago, they were building like crazy. PA I'm kind of meh on. Sao Luiz and Lencois - big thumbs up! A different history (French and Dutch) up there. I saw Brazilians from other parts gasping at foods that they'd never seen before ("farofa de caranguejo!"). The town across the waters from Sao Luiz is like an 18th century time capsule. My faves are two colonial cities of Minas Gerais: Ouro Preto and Diamantina. Even the names are beautiful.

Here he is at the new club, with his full name, the professional one at least: It does sound like a Japanese surname. More pics from internet: I'm still a little hung up on another buff, BIG-DICKED Brazilian nisei I tumbled with a few years ago so pardon my little obsession here.

Still no reports?

Very interesting. I've sometimes recognized guys from 3-4 years before, but not often. I suspect that, by that point in their career, they infrequently drop in as opposed to being a regular. Overexposure is a factor. I had a guy who started out going to Lagoa every day and pulling multiple clients. That rate was already dropping precipitously, and when I saw him the next year, he was already an irregular. There's a constant flow of fresh meat competition. I myself tend to prefer shiny new things. I don't know if even the best guys can keep turning 3-4 clients 2-3 times a week for long. Oh, and it's rarely the gods whom I see after 3-4 years. Those seem to disappear. When I asked one of my well-hung faves about doing a 3-way with another, monster-hung jock (Reynaldo, I'm sure some know who I mean) I was told he had been taken private by a client. The long timers seem past their expiration dates to me, but maybe they have skills behind closed doors that are not apparent. Now as for Termas in Barcelona, sheesh, some of those guys have been there for ages. Some live right in the sauna.

Rio's party districts are Lapa, where there is (or used to be pre-covid) massive weekend street parties, and Copacabana, where there are enough hookers and breast implants to keep you from seeing your straight friends for days. Lapa is for the hard-core partier; watch your surroundings, stay mostly sober, and you could have a lot of fun. The one time I went, I ran into a boy I just did at 117. He had a hot friend with him. I regrettably didn't know at the time that multiple love hotels were in the vicinity. Copacabana is mid-market and sliding. Ipanema has more upscale everything, plus a gay beach. As I understand it, the straight commercial sex sauna scene is 10 times bigger than the gay one. I've never had the need to find one, but I assume there spread all over town. "Sauna Mixta," I was told, meant a bordello. "Sauna Masculina" means men only, not necessarily gay, but definitely not a bordello. I'm not sure what you mean by gateway city. There will be far more flights from Rio to Iguacu than from the other cities, which will probably connect you inefficiently through Rio or Sao Paulo anyway. If you think Iguacu is a buzz-in, buzz-out day trip, I would dissuade you from that. You need preferably two days to arrive at Iguacu and see both sides of the falls. My dream is to one day stay at the Belmond hotel that's right inside the national park.

Does "paid instantly" mean it goes into the cop's pocket? And that's if the guy is a cop at all, as I would have trouble telling a fake badge from a real one.

I was last there during the war so no gay activity that I could tell. But Bosnian men are gorgeous and friendly. Think blond Slavs with the outgoing friendliness of Muslim cultures. If you're going to Croatia (think blond Slavs with a tan), check out the nudist beaches (more like rocks). Observe the decorum of serious nudists, but we know there's always something gay going on at the edges!
