I would add a few more activities these "travelers" enjoy: putting other cultures down from the perceived superiority of their own culture, judging other peoples from the expectations of their own, and bragging from their ignorant prepotency.

He may be planning to run for Florida or Texas Governor.

There are countless legit ways to enjoy traveling and sex tourism; the key word is respect. My beef in this thread is about the half-brainers (primarily American, but not necessarily) who travel around expecting others to learn their mindset instead of showing respect and curiosity for local uses. It is not just pointing fingers. Of course, I find it intolerable when someone brags about it, like the post that triggered my reaction in this thread. However, everyone naturally tends to cling to their own culture to interpret situations, forgetting that your social/cultural assumptions are not universally valid. But there is a significant difference between being a prepotent bully and an imperfect human able to self-reflect and learn.

I think you got it backward. Hollywood actors look like Brazilian prostitutes.

These half-brainers think that they appreciate the culture. Of course, in their US-centric way, as exotic and exciting, but not enough to learn the language and the ways. The rest of the world must learn to understand Americans.

Thank you! Am I repelling self-centered half-brainers who think that every man (of course, of Color) who stares at them wants to be their possession? That is a badge of honor!

I would believe your narrative if the guy were one of us and the plane was landing in Rio.

Only in two ways? So I am really confused.

Lol. Switch your nick to Half-brained. It would be a better descriptor.

You know me as well as the culture you are visiting. Kudos to you!

So American of you. Instead, you should learn the codes of the culture you are visiting and not assume that every man who stares at you is in the trade.

Of course, there is no problem with US kids being continuously exposed to violence in video games and everyday life, murdered by crazies with assault rifles, and going through shelter-in-place and active shooter drills monthly in their schools. All that is fine. Only sissies and snowflake liberals would be traumatized by that. But drag queens reading books to kids??? Dios Mío! They could go gay or in love with reading! HORROR!

Not frightening at all. Another Conservative gay who wants to stop progress once he gets his lifestyle normalized. Rather than frightening, this is miserable, cowardly, and shameful. Besides, it is intellectually dishonest. The Queer collectives integrate the fight for gay rights into the broader spectrum of sexual dissidence. We are not against homosexuals.

Not all of them. It is not so easy for a Brazilian to open an OF account. Indeed, reach out to those who have one, but you will miss many pearls. I stay in the saunas. I am not into the kind of guys many friends here are missing, and the test driving does not have competition in my book.

Wishful thinking. Brazilians love IG, and it is free for them, unlike professional advertising.

More importantly, where you are at.

Yep. Those model-looking hotties you all are missing from 117 are probably available on Instagram nowadays.

Last November, Pointe had a wireless caller system on the tables. Every boy I hooked up with played with the caller, driving him crazy. It was funny to see how upset he would turn. The place was refurbished this April, and the callers were gone, but he was still visibly stressed. He is excellent, but he should learn to handle the stress better.

In the saunas discussed here, being nude is not a requirement. I only got nude on my first day because I did not know the culture. I have never been in these saunas' heated rooms or shared showers. I go there as I would go to any bar.

PS: this is the perfect tip for me because I try to maximize the use of my cash. I can pay all my sauna expenses with my CC, and save the cash for the boys and the tips I cannot pay with CC.

One more tip (pun intended). A great way to tip your programas and the guys who are friendly and entertain you even if you do not want a fuck, it is paying for their sauna fee. They truly love this one.

I felt the same way on my last trip. However, once I established myself as a tipper on my first day, they stopped harassing me in my subsequent visits. In 202 it is crucial to tip the towel/cleaning ladies, especially the older and shorter one. The front counter can be messy at assigning rooms, and she always saves you time by quickly fixing the issues.

I also agree that it is concerning that younger options are not electable. But I think it is a topic for another thread.
