After posting about Python's shortcomings and writing "I won't be rushing back," I confess I returned a few days later. I was persuaded to meet up with a cute fav btm who dislikes Lagoa. As a kind of "love hotel," Python is not a bad bargain place to rendezvous, half to a third less expensive than Lagoa depending on the night. We arrived soon after it opened at 5:15 and by 5:30 it was clear that Friday night was, as reputed, going to have more action. Later, when we came back upstairs after the first romp (me exhausted), the GPs were more flirtatious than during the previous visit. The most handsome one was almost Lagoa-level seductive. He was irresistible so, after a good but slow chicken nugget dinner, we had a great three-way. I'm seeing him again tonight. Bottom line (so to speak): I'm suddenly less opposed to Python. (By the way, I was told that currently GPs can enter Python for free.)

Deleted original list to improve formatting below. Both the Rio and SP lists that follow were compiled by Grok AI sorted by neighborhood. Should be helpful in comparing convenient love hotel/motel options. Onward! P.S. I just noticed that many of the exported links are not working for some reason. So an additional search on booking.com would be needed to compare the neighborhood "finalists.'

Have to admit that I'm pleased to hear that you also found Python's GPs "didn't seem like they wanted to do programas." Só, it wasn't just me! 😅

Precisely! It seemed very much like a social club.

And yet Python was absolutely packed with clients, all of whom apparently forgot to take their Cialis.

Sorry for this duplicate post. Peremptory mea culpa now, before I'm admonished. Realized too late that my update above fit better in FloridaRob's topic "Report of Python Sauna Sao Paulo." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

July 19 update on Python. I was glad to hear SP again had a second GP sauna venue — Python. Sadly, when I visited Saturday night at 7:00 it was a big disappointment. The scene was strange. Only about six bored, unimpressive GPs were loitering around, making no effort to chat up the many clients. Two crowded rooms had 40-50 clients, but none showed any interest in "cruising." I stayed for about 45 minutes and never saw any pairs go downstairs to the suites. The steam room and dry sauna were both empty. Connordrick (on his later visit) and Brall3 also both commented on the shortage of GPs. That was certainly again true when I was there more recently. (Maybe the GPs arrive quite late?) FloridaRob reported that the GPs resembled a mix of the Meio Mundo, Bangu, and (RIP) Fragata gene pool. That well describes the small sample I saw. And I did not see anybody of interest. FloridaRob said it was cold and drafty with open windows. It was also cold when Connordrick visited. Happily, they have figured out how to close the windows. Saturday night the main rooms were warm and cozy. FloridaRob liked the nice receptionist and attentive bar staff. Me too. The receptionist got a GP to give me a full tour of the place. If not offered, be sure to request the tour. The large R$100 VIP suite is quite something to see, and the regular suites are very nice too. FloridaRob enjoyed hanging out with the many locals for a long time. Wish I were as fluent in Portuguese, but even so that does not interest me. I prefer more physical intercultural relations. Since the GP prospects were so slim, I won't be rushing back. I will wait until the reports here make Python sound more appealing.

So perhaps it will be your first trip to Brazil (since most people seem to go to Rio first)? If so, be extra cautious about bringing people back to your place. You'll find a lot of posts here that are worth spending an hour reading about the pros, cons, risks, tips. I'm not trying to spark that debate again and some veterans say "no problem" bringing money guys you don't know to your place. But, especially for newbies, some prudence is advised! UPDATE: Just looked at your interesting posts on Asia, Colombia, and São Paulo, so you are certainly not a newbie. NEVERMIND!

Thanks, and true. One strategy to keep your days free to explore spectacular Switzerland would be to first go to Paragonya during the prime time band (12:30-2:30) for reconnaissance. Get WhatsApp numbers of your hottest guys and arrange late-day appointments at Paragonya for subsequent days. Voilà, you can enjoy a day in interesting Bern (one hour nonstop train hour away) and return for a later (prescreened) romp in Zurich.

For the record, since May of 2023 Brazilians have to pay the USA the sum of $185 for a non-refundable application for a ten-year tourist visa, plus have an in-person interview at a US consulate!!! (Previously Brazilians had to pay $160.) Looks like US citizens are considerably advantaged by this lack of complete reciprocity. Maybe our $8 per year for our visa for Brazil ain't so bad?

Due to the limited number of clients in the Zurich sauna, I wonder if the Czechs have now moved instead to Barcelona or online? Or maybe my few days were just randomly unlucky?

I have a British friend who loves to go after bartenders as if it is a special accomplishment to "seduce" them because they are not officially GPs. They use the same lines discussed in posts above and say they don't really do this sort of thing, hence the high price. And it needs to be on the DL so that adds to the thrill. So my buddy pays too much and is invariably disappointed in bed. But he is still not cured of his bartender addiction.
