My gosh, my brain. I just noticed that I wrote that post in Spanish. This boy is the one I identified as V. in my reports about Salvador.

Never seen before. The Dutch have now two Argentine Queens.

🤣 Lo conseguís a 150R en Clube 11. Está ahí casi todos los días.

I resuscitated from two days of partying and went to Recife Spa. Nice crowd, but the GPs were all class B. It was a Halloween party, and I had the feeling that most of the costumers already know each other, there was something like a family/old friends vibe. The drinks were strong, that was excellent. This time I explored the second floor. It is the typical "labrynth" with free cabins and a dark room. The action in the dark room was intense, but I did not jump in. I arrived 5:30, as the show was supposed to start at 6. They were dealing with some kind of technical challenge and most of the staff was on the stage trying to resolve it. My favorite boy from TBV showed up. We made up but I wanted fresh meat and did not close on a programa. My mistake, as he was indeed the hottest in the place. At 7 I was leaving and the show had not yet started. I walked 10 minutes to get to TBV. It was packed with costumers, as they also had a Halloween party. But none of the GPs were hirable for me. For the muscle lovers, there were may be two or three guys, but not very impressive. I noticed something in the bar that gives you an idea of the level of service. Not only they have free coffee and tea for everyone who want some, but they even have dental flaw with mint flavor ion the tray with the condiments. It is amazing how the take care of very single detail. But in 45 minutes I was calling my Uber as I was certain that there were no programas for me. To give you an idea of what I am looking for and not finding in Recife: Those are my two favorite boys from Salvador. And they are not exceptional. My favorite from TBV is a cutie, and he has nothing to learn about sex from these two, but he is not close to this level of beauty to my eyes. Boys like these two are abundant in Rio and Salvador. I am with saudade.

OK. The research I made tells me that such a requirement does not exist any longer.

Thank you for the recommendation! Originally, my plan was going to P. de Galinhas for a weekend, but my financial situation does not allow me to take any trips. But I will go someday in the future. I have never heard of Tamandaré, so I will add it to my list. And if I go, I will do it with a magrinho. I am not into muscles. 😇 I understand that sauna is permanently closed. I checked it after @buttercawan's recommendation. I just came back from another night at Termas Boa Vista. I saw more guys I like (once again, I DO NOT find attractive muscular guys but athletic types), but most of them seemed to be with a client. I am not surprised, if you do not want to bring your GPs to your place, this sauna offers a great setting to enjoy an affordable meal, drinks, and a clean suite. One of the boys asked me for 350R, so I laughed and moved on. I repeated with the same boy I met yesterday, and he delivered again. The Uber driver back home flirted with me but he was too old for me. He told me there is a swingers club in Recife, but as I am not very interested in that culture I did not ask for much information. If I am in the mood, I will try tomorrow (again) Recife Spa. If I do not like it, it is a 10 mins walk to TBA.

I will not. I totally lost my curiosity for the local saunas, mostly because I do not find the local meat offering very attractive. Not in the beach, not in the street, not in the saunas. I just decided not to give a second chance to Blue Thermas. I will probably visit again Recife Spa, tomorrow, but that is it. Our friend @pauleiro has a much stronger adventurous spirit than I do. I am confident that no local venue is better than SVB, so I will keep going there when I want to have some fun. On Thursday, I am departing to Medellin.

Another week with muita praia. I am appalled at the lack of hotties, but now and then one shows up. I went to a new neighborhood in the more central area, Jaqueira. It was my last attempt to hook up from the apps. When I got to my destination and the guy came down to welcome me, he did not look at all like in his photos, so I ran away. However, I took advantage of the trip and enjoyed a long walk in the area. I liked it a lot, it seems to be an upper middle class zone with a strong modern urban feeling. Well kept streets, nice buildings, plenty of high quality stores, eateries, and hospitals. I accidentally ended at the park that names the entire hood, Parque da Jaqueira. It is exactly the kind of park I had been unsuccessfully looking for. Well kept, clean, and with lots of trees. I loved those trees, they remind me of Parque Mitre from Corrientes, the Argentine city where I spent most of my teen years. The park has an entire area exclusive for exercising. I had never seen a sign like that, setting an exclusive area. As exercising goes against my religion, I respectfully walked toward other corners. This was towards the end of my walk, and I sat to take a break and listen to the birds and some music. When I was still in DC, in Takoma Park, I developed the habit of listening to and observing birds. If you also like doing it, I recommend you an app: Merlin Bird. Perhaps I had already shared this in some of my previous posts? I am not sure. It is an app developed by Cornell University, completely free. You can identify the birds by recording their singing or taking a picture. I like the most setting the app for recording, because as it lists on screen the different bird species, its highlights the ones singing at each moment, helping you to learn to identify yourself the birds without the app support. I had not used it since my visit to the Jardim Botânico, where I did not find any new species for my personal library. At Parque da Jaqueira I added three new ones. Silly, but these little things make me happy. I also noticed a group of teens, very young, probably 14 y.o., a mix of boys and girls, about 8 of them. Two of the boys were walking holding hands. I wondered if physical affection between boys was common in Brazilian culture, or in Recife's, or they were an early couple of namorados. After I rested, I went for a meal to the best bakery (padaria) in the area, the Padaria Jaqueira. Not as good as the one I found near my base, but with a bigger buffet offering. A couple of the employees were obviously gay. When I returned home I felt compelled to research whether or not Jaqueira was a gay area. I had a date (although unsuccessful), I saw the two boys in the park, and the employees in the bakery nearby. However, it looks like everything was a coincidence, my research online does not identify Jaqueira as a specially gay zone. Yesterday, Halloween, was my birthday, and to celebrate it I decided to return to the saunas. I started by Recife Spa. The facilities are nice and roomy. You walk in into a small patio with a bar counter. Then you have a sitting area with arm chairs and a big screen TV, and another side of the asme bar. There you will also find the desk where you check in and out. From there you can move to the lockers area and the dance floor with a stage. It was karaoke night. The saunas are behind the stage, and the rooms upstairs. I did not explore them. I had a generous caipiroska, chatted a little bit with a GP who was not my type, and after verifying that we were less than 20 attendants and none of them inspire me to anything, I left. The bartender and the GP recommended me to try again on Sunday, it seems to be their most popular day. I may follow their advice. The entry and the drink costed 49R. From there I headed to Sauna Boa Vista. It is a 10 minutes walk. I confirmed my impression about this neighborhood, it is very safe to walk around even at night, with many restaurants and bars, some of them taking entire streets with their tables. SBV was not in one of its best nights, but I had a great time. I hooked up with a GP that delivered a premium experience, the best sex I had since I left Salvador. His fee was 100, but I gladly paid 150. He was really, really good, that kind of interaction that does not seem transactional. I think I will be back to the sauna tonight, and will fuck him again. For those interested in prices, I got you some: I rented my third presidential suite, and it was just as good as the other two. Apparently all of them are located at the second floor, and all the master suites at the first one. I am curious to see what the difference is. I noticed that in the first floor area where the master ones are located, there is also a section with showers. Perhaps the difference is that the presidencial s have all double showers and the master s do not. I am guessing. After having my GP I stayed hanging in the cruising labyrinth area. Definitely, a lot of the action, pay and not pay, happens in the free cabins. I was tempted to pull out my phone to record the noises, but discretion prevailed. If you are curious about visiting Recife and you do not care about the beaches, I think I would recommend you to look for an airbnb or hotel in Jaqueira. Beautiful, upscale neighborhood very close to Boa Vista (the gayest area where the two saunas mentioned in this post are located besides other venues) and also to the Old Town.

Yep. And you forgot to list "day of the month". The first week, when the deadline for rents approaches is a party for clients.

My time in Rio is monopolized by the GP saunas, so there is nothing I can tell about those places. I have never been there during Pride celebrations, but I dare to say that your assumption is wrong. I am quite confident that GPs and their admirers celebrate the event at the saunas.

As my Venezuelan brothers would say, qué le vua' ser, nací mamagüebo y moriré mamagüebo.

Look at 1:01. I want to sexually exploit that Colombian officer. ¡Qué lindoooooo!

I can tell you aren't into kissing. To me, the best part is to try how they taste.

My last day in a sauna was last Saturday. Despite their premium venues, the meat offer does not really motivates me. I had the intention to go today to the Halloween party at Recife Spa, but instead I am glued to the TV and my devices following the midterm elections in Argentina. I was also planning to stop by Blue Termas yesterday but instead I had a visitor. As I was not fully satisfied with my saunas experience, and as what I find online is similarly disappointing, I reactivated my Scruff and Grindr accounts. Fortunately, with relative success although far away from what I used to get up to a few years ago. I do not share my age, but my pictures are recent and unfiltered. I ended hooking up with a guy in his late 30s 400m away from my location, at his place. It was OK but I am not planning to repeat. The best finding was a 26yo guy, a visitor from some place in Para I do not remember. He came to my airbnb twice, his second and last time was yesterday. He must be now traveling back to his home. Perhaps I will return to SBV this Friday to celebrate my birthday, but I am not enthusiastic at all. If you are only interested in sex, you can stop reading here. I am much more satisfied with my walks around and the beach experience. I am avoiding the beach on weekends, and have learned to avoid also the more popular beaches. Instead, I am staying where I am, South of Boa Viagem, or going even further South. The beaches here are quiet, with very few people, and very clean. There are natural pools when there is a low tide, so I was even able to get into the water, warm and as clean as the sand you see in the picture below. IMG_8140.mov In some places you will see recommendation for the Pracinha de Boa Viagem. Avoid it. It does not worth the visit. The place smells like millions are using it as a public bathroom and the main attraction is a street fair with questionable art craft and street food. The one interesting building is this one: The walk I do recommend enthusiastically is a visit to the Historic neighborhood of Olinda. Yesterday, I made the mistake of starting my walk down the hill, but climbing up was not that bad because it was cloudy. The best part is when you get to the top, to Alto da Sé. You will find a beautiful cathedral: The ticket to get in is only 6R and from its patio and windows the view of Olinda and Recife is just breathtaking. I strongly recommend to have a meal in one of the several restaurants at the top of the hill. Having that view while you are eating and drinking is a wonderful experience. I tried a local dessert, cocada. The waitress even gave me a mini lesson on how to eat. You get in your spoon a little bit of ice cream, a little bit of cocada, and a few drops of lime to soften the sweetness. Delicious. But even better than the dessert was the drink, a caipifruta supper sweet. I am enjoying vodka, I have not smoked weed since I left Salvador. Coming down from the top was a piece of cake. The entire area is protected and the houses cannot be demolished or altered. Of course there are crappy ones, but a lot of them are very well kept. I do not know how the hood may be at night, but it feels completely safe at noon and early afternoon. Here you have the same church that shows above on a picture taken from the top of the hill. I ended at a beach by Olinda's centro. IMG_8186.mov IMG_8184.mov I doubt it is the best beach in Olinda. I heard that the city has beautiful ones without sharks. This one was beautiful to my eyes, but it has banners with warnings about sharks menace. If I were not already full of food and a little tipsy, I would have stay to hang out there. Instead, I walked a couple of kilometers to the North before calling my Uber and going back to my base for my goodbye fuck with my Paraense lover.

https://sopla.substack.com/p/down-and-dirty-at-boite-casa-grande I have not yet visited Tapa Na Cara, but there you have my report on Casa Grande in case you did not see it before. Not everyone agrees with this, but I would not waste my time looking for garotos online when you have Brazilians saunas' unique experience to provide you with tons of the commodity you are looking for.

I agree. I think I was making the same point. Yes, occasionally the news in social media are accurate, but they are the same news that you can find in more reliable sources.

Zap is my fav

November in Rio is amazing. It is not too hot at all, and sometimes the locals would say it is cold. I used to visit during the US Thanksgiving holiday.

Information that you would not get through more conventional sources?

Meh. I advise against getting any news from any social media outlet.

I will be probably residing in Rio starting sometime on the second half of next year. Perhaps we will be neighbors! We will be able to share our findings more fluently!

I agree. Same prices in Rio.

Plus, I would guess that without the ocean breeze, it is like being inside a slow cooker.

For those interested, full report published in my new substack. https://sopla.substack.com/p/termas-boa-vista-the-best-gay-sauna

A few years ago, when I tried to close a deal with Fercho, the money transfer was an obstacle. I'm not very motivated by their portfolio but I do like a few of their guys. I may probably plan an excursion to visit some interesting places in the area, like de Jardin Botanico, or Cementerio San Pedro, and schedule a visit to know the place and get acquainted. It sounds very convenient. @macdaddi, muchas gracias por compartir siempre tanta información! Todos los amantes de Colombia tenemos una deuda enorme contigo!
