Sorry for being so judgmental in the topic, but it is how I feel about the escort situation here in Morocco. 
 
Escorts are everywhere and I have nothing against them. In fact, I love them, as long as they are honest about what they do, have a sense of service and be more or less fair. They are not here!
 
The economy in Moroco is bad, so bad that few young guys have a real job and those who do make barely their rent. With the typical Arab horniness and their welcoming nature on one side, and the affluent tourists from Europe and Middle east, it could have developed a healthy and booming escort market. But unfortunately, it hasn't the been the case. The main problem is the lacking of work ethic in the whole region. 
 
I can't help comparing the situation to Cuba. Moroccans are as hot as Cubans, equally open to homosexual sex, but far less educated and ethical. Something good which came out of the communist years of Cuba is people understand in order to get something, they need to deliver something in return. Here in Morocco, they just grab and run. 
 
Which made things worse is the illegal immigration from the neighboring black African countries. Desperate situations made lots of them rotten.
 
Several points can illustrate the issue here:
 
First, Morocco is a muslim country. The escorts here somehow made this their avantage. Most of them are miserable and have nothing to loose, so they are not afraid of making a scene, especially the foreign black guys from Mali, Niger, etc. 
I met a young Moroccan cardiological doctor in Marrakech, who told me that two weeks earlier, he was obliged to pay 2000 dh (200 euros) to a disguised black escort when he refused to leave.
 
Second, they never say they are escorts. Actually most of them deny that when you ask. You really need to be vigilant and dig really hard to get the truth. They have ambiguous way of answering your questions, such as:
- I'm not escort. (But I still want some money for cab, and I paid 100 times more than normal because I was in such a hurry to get to you)
- I just want to have fun. (But you have to pay)
- Dont be silly, not everyone's escort. (But I am)
...
When you try to let them answer just 'yes' or 'no' to a very specific question such as 'Are you going to ask me for money?', they would become silent, maybe for a day. Then they will come back talking to you as nothing had happened, until you ask them specifically again.
 
Third, they lie about everything, they send fake photos, and they don't perform sexually. Again, if I take some examples of how they answer your questions: 
- They are my photos. (But they are not of me, but of a 'friend')
- I'm always hard. (As hard as I can get, while you keep on sucking me)
- My cock measures 25 cm. (Seriously you believe that? How fool)
 
Just to resume, the escort market here is sick and disgusting. And it spoils the normal fun market, too. When people don't have any ethical bottom line, anything can happen. I personally would not recommend Morocco to those who want to meet local boys for fun. 

Why would you consider Tabatinga a good gay destination? 

It’s a two-way street. Let’s not pretend Cuba has been a saint in this process. They continue with many of the leadership principles that got them on America’s shit list. No one is owed access to US resources. They have the rest of the world to play with, so make it work or change. If the Us is that critical then the government should put the people first and change leadership. 
 
the US isn’t hurting without Cuba so it’s on Cuba to change here. Or don’t change, choice is really there’s. 

It’s nothing very gay but I’d highly recommend it. I visited the Iguazu falls yesterday for the first time. After the classic bus+walking tour, which was great, I opted for the helicopter ride, over the highly recommended Macuco safari. I just don't like the idea of getting wet in a small boat with a bunch of unknown people. 
 
I stayed at the Sanma Resort, located 5 minutes walking to the Iguazu falls visitors centre, right next door to the birds park. 
 
The helicopter centre is outside the Iguazu falls park, opposite the birds park entrance. It has a coffee shop and a gift shop attached to it. They require minimum 4 and maximum 6 passengers per chopper. It costs 635 reais per person, about 50% more than the Macuco Safari. I’d pick the chopper over the boat any time. You can have a descent coffee while waiting for the checkin. Don’t take the cappuccino. They put a horrible sweetened chocolate flavored powder in it.
 
Neither at the purchase nor at the checkin was the passport required but they did ask for its number and my weight. 
 
After the checkin, you need to watch a security video for about 3 minutes. Then you are invited to a waiting salon on the airfield side. All bags need to be stored there. 
 
The tour lasts about 10 minutes. Only one chopper was in operation. It’s actually fun to watch it taking off and landing from such a close distance. 
 
The operator has a crew to record the whole boarding process and combine it with a pre-recorded in-air scenery video. The compilation is about one minute and costs 500 reais for a digital version, or 700 reais on a usb key. You can also get a hard copy of your photo taken in front of the chopper after landing. I feel it’s absurdly expensive, comparing to the ride. 
 
I had the luck to sit right next to the pilot. The view was superb in the cockpit. It did two full rounds over the falls to made sure that everyone had the full view. The whole ride was smooth and stable.

Im finishing up my three-week trip in northeast of Brazil: Fortaleza, Natal, Recife and Joao Pessoa. I’ll maybe do a full report later when I have time. But now sitting at the airport waiting for my flight to Rio, I’ll just report a bit the hilarious dorama situation here. 
 
Dorama basically means tv soap opera from Japan, and K-drama (or dorama coreano) from Korea. It seems it has been quite a hit here, especially amount younger crowds (I’d estimate up to late 20s). Now when I look back at my previous trips in other parts of Latin America, it might has been a more general situation. I got quite some attention walking on the street, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, etc, especially from young girls. They would giggle among themselves pointing at me and occasionally brave ones would ask me for a selfie together. I never put too much thought into it, until this trip. Things got a lot weirder. 
 
I am neither Japanese nor Korean. But I do have a typical extreme-orient look, pale skin, slender built, and longer hair (mostly because I’m doing long trips and need to style it with products). I’m over 40 yo yet with a boyish face. Most of Dorama’s actors are of my age anyway, playing roles much younger. Lol. 
 
Since Fortaleza, I started getting messages such as ‘oh my gosh. You look so dorama!’ I actually had to google dorama to know what it is. I have zero interest in it and consider it a bit waste of time. But the more photos I check, the better I understand their confusion. At first I would reply something like ‘I’m not Japanese nor Korean’. After I while I just gave up and replied simply ‘thank you’. 
 
I was extremely popular among young guys here (probably even more among young girls if I were in a different app). I don’t know if I should feel flattered or annoyed. I kept on feeling that I were cheating and would disappoint if I met with those fans. Then I found out, lots of the guys I met, who didn’t cream ‘dorama’, actually met me for the very reason anyway. 
 
The most ridiculous situation was the last boy I met in Joao Pessoa. He was staring at my face the whole time, while we were talking, while we were taking shower, and above all while we were fucking. He sucked me staring at me. He fucked me staring at me. And above all, he only wanted to be fucked on his back so he could stare at me. I started to understand the ‘no bbc fantasy’ attitude of some Afro-Americans. 
 
Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining. I actually am very grateful that my Japanese and Korean brothers created this illusion of oriental beauty.

Dorama basically means tv soap opera from Japan, and K-drama (or dorama coreano) from Korea. It seems it has been quite a hit here, especially amount younger crowds (I’d estimate up to late 20s). Now when I look back at my previous trips in other parts of Latin America, it might has been a more general situation. I got quite some attention walking on the street, Mexico, Colombia, Peru, etc, especially from young girls. They would giggle among themselves pointing at me and occasionally brave ones would ask me for a selfie together. I never put too much thought into it, until this trip. Things got a lot weirder. 
 
I am neither Japanese nor Korean. But I do have a typical extreme-orient look, pale skin, slender built, and longer hair (mostly because I’m doing long trips and need to style it with products). I’m over 40 yo yet with a boyish face. Most of Dorama’s actors are of my age anyway, playing roles much younger. Lol. 
 
Since Fortaleza, I started getting messages such as ‘oh my gosh. You look so dorama!’ I actually had to google dorama to know what it is. I have zero interest in it and consider it a bit waste of time. But the more photos I check, the better I understand their confusion. At first I would reply something like ‘I’m not Japanese nor Korean’. After I while I just gave up and replied simply ‘thank you’. 
 
I was extremely popular among young guys here (probably even more among young girls if I were in a different app). I don’t know if I should feel flattered or annoyed. I kept on feeling that I were cheating and would disappoint if I met with those fans. Then I found out, lots of the guys I met, who didn’t cream ‘dorama’, actually met me for the very reason anyway. 
 
The most ridiculous situation was the last boy I met in Joao Pessoa. He was staring at my face the whole time, while we were talking, while we were taking shower, and above all while we were fucking. He sucked me staring at me. He fucked me staring at me. And above all, he only wanted to be fucked on his back so he could stare at me. I started to understand the ‘no bbc fantasy’ attitude of some Afro-Americans.

In Brazil, lots of people have priority in waiting and access by law. During my multiple trips there, I have witnessed how ridiculously this has been reenforced. I would count at least 25 percent of any people in line use this priority without any noticeable traits of the stipulated profiles. Here are photos of boarding in Joao Pessoa airport (the line on the right, which is the longest):

Thank you so much for all your detailed and flavorful posts. A lot of contradictory information but I guess that’s related to each one’s perception of danger and risk. So can we assume the following: 
1. The local police doesn’t really punish tourists
2. Lots of locals are gay for pay but there are also genuine gay sex lovers
3. Although it’s prohibited by law, some international 5-star hotels don’t check on guests
4. Most Egyptian guys are average hung with certain outliners going over 10 inches. lol. And the bigger they are the longer they last
?

Sorry for being so judgmental in the topic, but it is how I feel about the escort situation here in Morocco. 
 
Escorts are everywhere and I have nothing against them. In fact, I love them, as long as they are honest about what they do, have a sense of service and be more or less fair. They are not here!
 
The economy in Moroco is bad, so bad that few young guys have a real job and those who do make barely their rent. With the typical Arab horniness and their welcoming nature on one side, and the affluent tourists from Europe and Middle east, it could have developed a healthy and booming escort market. But unfortunately, it hasn't the been the case. The main problem is the lacking of work ethic in the whole region. 
 
I can't help comparing the situation to Cuba. Moroccans are as hot as Cubans, equally open to homosexual sex, but far less educated and ethical. Something good which came out of the communist years of Cuba is people understand in order to get something, they need to deliver something in return. Here in Morocco, they just grab and run. 
 
Which made things worse is the illegal immigration from the neighboring black African countries. Desperate situations made lots of them rotten.
 
Several points can illustrate the issue here:
 
First, Morocco is a muslim country. The escorts here somehow made this their avantage. Most of them are miserable and have nothing to loose, so they are not afraid of making a scene, especially the foreign black guys from Mali, Niger, etc. 
I met a young Moroccan cardiological doctor in Marrakech, who told me that two weeks earlier, he was obliged to pay 2000 dh (200 euros) to a disguised black escort when he refused to leave.
 
Second, they never say they are escorts. Actually most of them deny that when you ask. You really need to be vigilant and dig really hard to get the truth. They have ambiguous way of answering your questions, such as:
- I'm not escort. (But I still want some money for cab, and I paid 100 times more than normal because I was in such a hurry to get to you)
- I just want to have fun. (But you have to pay)
- Dont be silly, not everyone's escort. (But I am)
...
When you try to let them answer just 'yes' or 'no' to a very specific question such as 'Are you going to ask me for money?', they would become silent, maybe for a day. Then they will come back talking to you as nothing had happened, until you ask them specifically again.
 
Third, they lie about everything, they send fake photos, and they don't perform sexually. Again, if I take some examples of how they answer your questions: 
- They are my photos. (But they are not of me, but of a 'friend')
- I'm always hard. (As hard as I can get, while you keep on sucking me)
- My cock measures 25 cm. (Seriously you believe that? How fool)
 
Just to resume, the escort market here is sick and disgusting. And it spoils the normal fun market, too. When people don't have any ethical bottom line, anything can happen. I personally would not recommend Morocco to those who want to meet local boys for fun.

Thank you so much for the report. I’m heading to the north in Juin. I’m still hesitating if I should venture to Sao Luis and further into Lencois. 
 
How would you rate the cock size in these northern cities? Fortaleza, Sao Luis, Natal, Recife? Are there more Afros?

During my 8-day visit in Salvador Bahia, I went twice to Clube 11, once on Dec. 29th 2023, and once on Jan. 3rd 2024. My general impression is, Clube 11 is the more popular and better GP Sauna in Salvador. I know other fellow travelers have a different take on this, and I benefited enormously reading from their experiences. I’m just here to share mine.
 
Location: 
It’s quite close to Lapa metro station and easy to walk to. It’s a newly repaint blue building with some boys and gays hanging at the entrance. My airbnb is at about 15 minutes walking distance, and I walked there both times, before and after sunset. I’ve never felt insecurity of any form. The streets were not deserted. The first time I got out at 22:00, and tried to walk home. Everyone objected violently to that, all the guys I talked to in the sauna, the receptionist, the cleaning ‘pink lady’, etc. I ordered an uber just to calm them down but I sincerely thought there wouldn’t be any problem. The second time I walked home with a boy I off-ed. The streets are quiet but not scary. I’m not very sensitive to insecurity anyway. When I got caught in a cross-fire of two generals of two favelas in Rio, I felt more excited than scared and paid a uber driver a handsome amount of money so he could drive me around the bonfires marking the conflict zone for me to take some photos and videos. Anyway, for the sake of peace of mind, take a uber to go home if you feel it’s necessary. 
 
The hours:
The sauna on both visits were already quite happening before 18:00. The first time it had a show, a surprisingly good one. Here are some videos I took. The dancer was delicious and the drags were really funny. The show was supposed to start at 20:30 but it didn’t until 21:00 and lasted until about 22:00. The second time was bingo night. A not so beautiful, not so funny, yet very loud drag yelled all night long and it was still on when I left at 21:45. It’s definitely better to go there before 21:00 so the boys are still kinda fresh.

The clientele:
The local clients make up the majority. You can tell by how they interact with each other and with the boys. The domestic travelers definitely surpass the international ones. Most of the guys there are in their 40s to 60s. I was taken in as a protégée by a funny 40 something years old local and he spent the whole night explaining me the ins and outs of the place. On my second visit I was courted by a 30 something year old visitor of Sao Paulo, and he was decent looking. We had some quick fun in one of the free cabins (actually maybe just that cabin was not locked, I don’t really know). Some crazy fruits totally liberated themselves there, which was a lot of fun to observe. Most of the locals were quiet and reserved. I don’t really want to make this into a racial thing, but most customers are of lighter skin colour.
 
The GPs:
On both my visits, there were at least 20 boys, most of them in their 20s, but certain I’d say in their late 30s. 80% of them are of slim non-gym going type. But good genes leave them really nice body. No one seemed body-builder. GPs there are not very expressive with their body or with their tools. Some occasionally flash their dicks but it was more to re-arrange their towel than a selling technique. Some stroke themselves in the video room, and some sit on the mezzanine alone or with clients, reveling their full hard-on. The body shape was not the only thing that might disappoint certain fellow travelers of this forum. At least I was quite disappointed by the cock size of the GPs in clube 11. Actually I later confirmed that the myth of huge hung soteropolitanos was indeed poorly based. I only counted one boy who had a real XXL cock (over 23 cm) and one who had a 21-22 cm but really thick. The rest who demonstrated their tool fall into XL category (19-21 cm) and those who hide their tools from public eyes have L to M cocks, which are totally fine if paired with nice body, cute face and good personality. Seems the real talents indeed all fled to Rio and Sampa. But shouldn’t they be back to their homeland for holidays?
 
My programas:
I normally start with a soft drink and walked around the property. I was mostly pretending to be on my phone as I didn’t want to be bothered by waves after waves of boys sitting with me, or by other clients trying to make small talks. Most of the boys and clients I did talk to all had moments of confusion about my European Portuguese paired with an Asian face, but they got used to it after a couple of minutes. The problem was I couldn’t give couples of minutes to everyone. My 40+ yo local ‘protector’ really wanted to chat as he’s very interested in Europe and also works in fashion. I had a flirt with a hot 52 yo traveler from Espirito Santo and we tried to meet on the following days but never found a right moment. 
All those evasive strategies didn’t stop certain really persisting and pushy GPs. One came on to me so hard and I had to run from him kissing and touching me. But he finally wore me off and I had a session with him. He’s a solid 9 at the place anyway with a 20 cm fat cock, and he really wanted with me. He opened with 100 and dropped instantly to 80 réais when I hesitated. It was a good passion filled fuck and I was shocked by how much he sweat despite the AC in the suite. Yes. The suite does have an AC temperature problem. It was around 19:00 and I told him that he didn’t need to cum if he needed to work more. He had to pause multiple times, which was kinda a bummer for me as it fucked up the beat. I was prepared to give him 150 in case he cum, but he did manage to hold it off and I gave him 100. I actually don’t like boys cumming during my session. I don’t find it hot at all. 
After the first session, I was not really in the mood to do more as no boys stroke me as a must. I was getting 2 to 3 times free Grindr sex per day with similar men / boys and I was saying ‘no’ a lot. So I was not craving for it. I noticed there was a room set up for massage, with a whole wall of therapist certifications. Richardo, the short cute 30 something yo masseur was so confident about what he does and he convinced me to give it a try. 90 for 30 mins and 180 for 60 mins. I would unfortunately only give a 7 to the massage but I do believe it’s one of the best massages you can get in a gay sauna. I’m a big spa goer, a certified therapist, and had a successful urban spa business when I was younger, so I feel I know what I’m talking about. Richardo learned lots of stuff, but didn’t really master any of them. In his what we consider Californian massage, he mixed whatever he considered the quintessence of every style he knows, but missed the true healing power of each. He has power but lacks precision. The choreography was totally off. But again, that’s as much as a massage one can get in a gay sauna. I had catastrophic ones in Colombia, in Mexico, in Cuba, etc. 
After the massage, I went for the show, during which, my local ‘protector’ introduced me the two most hung boys of the place, the 23 cm and the 21-22 cm but much fatter cock. I didn’t like the second one at all as he was kinda rude and cocky (in the bad figurative way). I talked a bit to the 23 cm, Carlos, and I was pleasantly surprised by how humble he was. I’m a more dominant bttm so he’s a good match. I told him that I would have a session with him if he’s still around after the show, but he didn’t need to as it was late already and I would surely be back. When the show was over, I looked around and found him rushing out of the wet sauna when he heard the music stopped. I took the same suite and had him my way. The cock is divine, perfect size and shape (very similar to the one of Caio Veyron but surely bigger). Pity he was obviously exhausted and obviously not gay. But his wonderful cock did the magic. It could have been a very satisfactory experience if I didn’t catch the glare of self-loathing and desperation in his eyes. It broke my heart. At that point, I decided I should get to know him better, but I wanted to sleep on that. I gave him my WhatsApp and sent him few messages including new year greetings on the following days. I was planning offing him but I saw my messages were not read.
I didn’t find time to revisit Clube 11 until the 3rd. And one of the major reasons was to check on Carlos. Somehow I was worried. I asked about him at the entrance and got an affirmative answer. I repeated my pattern and quietly wait for Carlos to show up. Again I had waves of boys coming on to me, that I respectively declined. A slim fit gold haired youngster, with a pointy long and ever-hard dick took the place of the pushiest, but I didn’t fall this time. He’s a smoker. I really didn’t care for the bingo so I stayed mostly upstairs. I did notice a jolly cute guy with very carefully trimmed beard, and he seemed to be extremely popular, disappearing several times with suite keys. When I finally got the chance to talk to him, I understood better. He has this positive energy around him, which makes people want to share something with him. His name is Jean. He doesn’t have a big cock, 18 cm tops, but he’s vers and he ‘faz tudo’. He’s a good package. Another boy I kinda considered is a very tall one with breads. He has a 20+ cm and very thick cock. It’s the girth which intrigued me. 
Then Carlos showed up. He smiles and said Oi. I decided to be direct and asked him why he didn’t check my WhatsApp messages. He’s a man with very few words and only explained that he got lots of messages. I told him that I could have off-ed him. He was very surprised. After some seconds of silence, he said he would go with me if I still want him. I told him that he should finish his work first. He agreed and said that we should leave around 21:30. It was kinda weird because he then was sitting with me all night, letting me play with his huge hard-on. I told him that he should go back to work, as I wanted to off him mostly because I wanted to talk to him. But he stayed there with me anyway, as if it was his way of saying sorry for not responding me or thanks for wanting to off him. We didn’t really talk about the price. When I insisted on talking about it, he said minimum 200 which was really cheap and he wanted to spend the night with me. I told him that he could stay in the second bedroom, as I’m a light sleeper. At around 9:30, he told me that he wanted to leave. We got dressed and I paid his entrance, 15 reais, cheaper than the 25 reais boy’s entrance in Clube Fox. He suggested that we walk and I gladly agreed. The streets were quiet, but no where dangerous. We didn’t see any ‘strange’ people or potential trouble on our 15 minutes way back. I bought some lanchinho in a hamburgeria, only option at that hour, because I knew he would be hungry. Once home, he stripped to underwear like most Brazilians would do and lay on the sofa. He looked tired, too tired even for eating. I told him that we didn’t need to do anything other than talking. I wanted him to tell me his story. He’s a man of few words, but little by little he opened up. He told me that he felt stuck in life, doing a job he didn’t enjoy, trying to finish his study of business administration and saw little future even after he manages to finish. He told me that he feels ugly, as he got rejections in the sauna. I guess we all have certain complex about our physics, even someone over 190 cm with a boyish face and a solid 23 cm cock. I tried my best to help him see things more positively, but there was so little that could be said. His phone buzzed frequently but he never checked the messages. When I asked about the buzz, he borrowed my phone to check on something. It was a website olx.cpm.br . He was checking on second-hand phones. they are cheap, mostly between 200 and 400 reais. I guess that's where the robbed phones are sold. His phone was broken. The screen didn’t show anything. That was why he couldn’t reply my messages and he preferred keeping all that to himself. I offered help and he got to get his phone fixed or get a new one. We ate a bit, chatting slowly. Then we moved to sex, good sex, deep and slow. The night of sleep was eventless. The morning after, he came to my bed right after he woke up and gave me another deep and intense orgasm. Reaching noon, I handed him all the remaining cash I had. He asked if it’s possible to stay with me. I told him that it was my last day and I didn’t have any cash anymore. He said he didn’t need more money as he already had enough to fix his phone. I guess certain only think about making money when he needs. I was temped, but I had already made arrangements with a Grindr boy I met on the first day to visit museums, and I always stick to my arrangements. He looked sad. He said it was too little time. I told him that he should get his phone fixed and I’d send him message. We parted 2 minutes before my Grindr boy arrived. When I was in the museum, I got a message from Carlos. It was short: ‘Too little time, too many memories’. I was moved. Then he said he got his phone fixed and was still around my place, hoping I’d be free. I told him that I wouldn’t make it as my day was planned out and the Grindr boy wanted to spend the last night with me. I told him that we would meet again and I was sincere. I told him that I’d be back in June. He said that’s far but he would be waiting.
