I fixed two sandwiches at home before fainting.

When I'm traveling, usually it takes me three days to land, adjust my expectations, and start having fun. This time I started in day 2. After what is becoming my regular daily visit to the 17th floor, I went to Club 117. By the way, please do not hit me through PM message asking questions about what is going on there. As I was sharing in PM with the friend @Novarunner, I must be discrete. All I am going to say is that it provides me with many opportunities to be in the right place at the right time, and enjoy fun with some of the hotties, besides the pleasure of their friendship. After a quick stop over there, I headed to 117. I never liked the place, and my opinion is not changing this year. It was full, but I did not see one single guy that was hiring material for me. But indeed the sauna was packed with muscular guys jerking off everywhere. I know most of you love these guys talking to you while they show off their hard dicks, but that is not appealing at all to me. Rather than worshipping these guys, I enjoyed feeling worshipped and no candidates were on sight. I ordered a caipirinha that was one of the strongest drinks I ever had, I was tipsy after the first sip, and as soon as I finished my drink I left. The show had not yet started but there was no point to stay any longer, and I do not think I will return, not during this trip. I called an Uber, and joined Rhyheim & crew for diner at Fresh & Good in Ipanema. The food was really good, specially because he was paying for everything. I ordered there two caipirinhas that felt like water after 117's. Then we all called Ubers to go to our nests, except Rhyheim and Elijah who are lodging over there. Once at my base, I was very horny after flirting with all the porn stars, and got into Grindr. Although I am surprised at the low number of hits I have been receiving (compared to previous trips to Rio and to Buenos Aires), soon a 20 y.o. cutie connected who was only 233 m away. I did not want to bring him to my place, so I went to his. He is renting a room in a 2BR apartment, but his room mate was traveling so we could fuck with no inhibitions, Brazilian style. So I close Day 2 with my first sexual encounter, for free. Yesterday was Point's day, my favorite sauna, and tried to finish with my teleworking earlier. I did not visit the 17th floor but went directly to the sauna and arrived about 5. It was full of boys but very few clients. It was too early. The party started after 6:30. The place has been redecorated since my last visit two years ago. I only hang out in the bar and stage areas, never go to the sauna or the showers. I like that now there are more places to sit comfortably, but I do not like the wall screens they placed all around the stage. It is too much light, I had to run away from my first chosen corner. I loved the atmosphere, as I always do on Wednesdays. There were many, many GPs of all sizes, colors, and ages. Shortly after I arrived they started to parade, introducing themselves to me and trying to get a programa. The first ones are never the hottest ones, so I just chat with them for a few seconds, and then I thank them for their time, I offer them a drink, and apologize for not being interested in a programa with them. The first ones did not even take my offer for a drink. There were at least 6 guys I was interested in. My issue is that I am shy, and almost never make the first move. Fortunately, one of the guys I was interested in did exactly what I like. Instead of sitting or standing next to me stroking his hard dick, he introduce himself, hugged me and started to kiss me. 21 y.o., twinkish, define slim body, a typical Mineiro. His GP name is Gabriel. We had to wait 30' for a cabin. He asked me for 200R and I did not bargain, I am confident I could have gotten him for less. The sex was good, he made me feel that he was into me which is what I enjoy. We exchanged numbers and will probably invite him to my place to have a better experience. While he was by the reception counter waiting for our room, I stayed by the bar, flirted and connected with three more of my candidates, but just quick intros as I was committed. Once we were done with Gabriel, we had a drink upstairs where our cabin was, and then I returned to the bar. A beautiful Black boy that was in my list sat with me, stroking his dick. He was not comfortable kissing in public, first told me he was ativo and, when he noticed I was losing interest, switched to versa. I did not think he was a match, and let him go. A very nice Twink who was not my type but had invested a lot of his time on chatting with me, asked me for help to go back home, I was feeling happy and generous, and gave him 50Rs. The show was on, the other two boys I had connected with were busy, and I was tired. So my night at 202 ended about 10pm. I had two caipirinhas and a water, and invited boys with at least two caipirinhas and several waters and Red Bulls. My bill was 215 Rs. The night before, I had pay 107Rs in 117 for only one caipirinha and one water. I arrived home about and fell almost immediately asleep, happy and loving Rio.

Do you realize that you are talking to a deceased person?

You also need to calm down. The individual in question was a respected member that got obsessed with trolls after some bad personal experiences. He properly denounced racist remarks and many fabrications by some posters and some real trolls. This obsession led him to loose his balance, his last deleted post was indeed inappropriate and filled with assumptions. But this is an unfortunate outcome. I hope he can recover his good senses and return.

I arrived yesterday to Rio. Both flights were packed with no one single seat available. I had been flying for several years in the extra room class, but this time I did it in regular tourist class. The drop in quality service was remarkable (American). In the flight from Miami to Rio they did not even serve breakfast, and I think they did not do it not even in first class. I have a good sense of smell, and I did not smell any coffee or bakery being reheated. In the hope of having a free seat next to me, I booked the 13 row. It did not work. To make it worse, apparently it did get me bad luck. My rolling bag handler broke and (before boarding in DC my flight to Miami) I ended checking the bag to move comfortably in Miami. I will buy a new bag here. More airport bad luck. I was planning to settle in Rio's Admirals Club to telework, as my airbnb check in was at 3pm. Well, the Admirals Club was closed until 3pm, and the other VIP lounge I found would not take my Mastercards or visas to purchase a day pass. Remember, I was carrying my backpack and my bag formerly known as rolling. The most comfortable place I found was a Starbucks. So I spent my first hours in Rio sitting in a USA chain. Close to my check in time I called an Uber and was in my airbnb in Copacabana at 2:55. The place was not ready, the host was still cleaning up the mess left by the previous guests. He came down to pick me up about 3:30, and I was able to finish my teleworking in my unit while he was finishing the cleaning. The apartment is better than it looks in the website's pictures, so I am happy with that. Additionally, an extra surprise that made this airbnb really extraordinarily good. I chose it because of its location, just a few blocks away from Point, my favorite local GP sauna. However, is better than that. When I was in the lobby, Rhyheim Shabazz texted me and we found out that I rented my little one BR in the 13th floor, while he had rented a huge top roof apartment to host his collaborators and film while in Rio. We knew we were going to be together in Rio, but learning that we would be in the same building was a huge surprise for both of us. When I finish teleworking at 6pm local time (4 pm USA ET), I took the elevator to visit the crew. I arrived in the middle of this scene. After chatting a while, I wanted to go to Point. It started to rain, so I hurried up soon after 6:45. I made a mistake in my way to the sauna. A sin of overconfidence, I think. This is only my 4th visit to Rio, and although it is a fact that I feel at home and comfortable, it is also a fact that I do not know the city well. If you have walked your way to Point walking up Siquiera Campos from the beach, you know that shortly after the Atlantico Hotel, Siqueira curves towards the left, and another street starts following Siqueira previous straight trace. It was raining, I was in semi zombi status after my poor sleeping during the flight, and I took the wrong turn. Soon I realized that I was walking into a favela. I loved it. I walked up to the 700s in the hope of finding a perpendicular street cutting down back to Siquiera, but at the 800s I decided to turn around not because I was scared, but because the slop was very acute and I was sweating like a pig. I wonder what could have happened if I looked like a tourist, which I do not. Everyone seemed super friendly and greeting me with a smile. I turned back and I loved walking down after the demanding climbing. When I was close to the sauna the rain got worse and I could see the boys running away from the blue entrance, so I canceled my sauna plans and went back to my nest. I rejoined Rhyheim and went for a quick diner. At 8;30 I felt exhausted and tried to sleep unsuccessfully, my brain was still 2 hours earlier. Once I fell asleep, I am not sure what time, I slept with no interruptions not even for peeing until 7 am. I am confident I slept more than 8 hours. Needless to say, it was a sexless first day in town. I am unsure about my plans after 6 today. I am talking with an IG boy and perhaps we meet. Otherwise, I will weight what plan sounds then more appealing: hanging out with Rhyheim & friends or going to 117. I do know what my plan is tomorrow, I cannot miss a Wednesday at Point.

Man! How do they say in English? You need to get the hell out of the high horse. This crusade of yours is leading you off track.

You missed something there. The place is beautiful even if you do not have sex when visiting. https://ilikepinga.com/2020/12/01/abrico-beach/

Unlike others who advise you against taking risks, I am glad you seem willing to go beyond the saunas. I feel the same, but the saunas are so good that in my short visits I do not have much time left to explore anything else. However, if you are willing and able to explore relationships beyond the cabins, sauna boys are an amazing gate to a Brazil most foreigners cannot experience.

YES! (Not so) secretly, I enjoy that Gringos in South America feel as many minorities in USA streets: unsafe and targeted.

I will be landing in Rio on the week before Thanksgiving. If any friends are going to be around, send me a PM.

Your advantage is that you, unlike others, understand what good sex actually is.

I thought you were going to make a reference to Halloween.

Yes, be careful in those countries. It is not safe like walking carelessly in amazingly safe USA cities.

Sorry to learn that it got to you that hard, and very, very sorry for your loss! I was lucky.

Oh, c'mon. Do not let one, or a few, or an army of trolls, bitter your sprit. Indeed there is good in all people, even in the worst ones. Sometimes it is hard to find it, but it is there, somewhere. And there is evil in all people, even in the best ones. We all are grey beings. But most people are mostly good. Life has taught me that as a clear lesson.

Friends, after more than two years dodging the bug, I tested positive for COVID-19 last Monday. Fortunately, I had gotten the bivalent booster the weekend before, and the symptoms have been relatively mild. The worse was three days of a near unbearable pain (sore is not enough as a descriptor) in my throat. And an unexpected and quite welcomed side effect: I have lost my legendary and bottomless appetite. I did not lose any of my senses, just my appetite. I have lost 7 pounds, and a half slice of my favorite chocolate cake is still sitting in my fridge since yesterday! I do not recognize myself. If this lack of appetite is here to stay, this may be actually good news. I am glad I got it right now, the timing is perfect to guarantee a great fuckgiving trip to Rio in a few weeks. Now I fit in my old bikini.

Friends, will you ever learn? Do not feed the troll.

Venezuelans are spread all over the continent, from Mexico to Argentina, including Brazil. He did not say that all Venezuelans moved to Peru or that none moved to Brazil. They are everywhere, specially in national capitals and big cities.

Of course, Brazil.

Racism and classism logically overlap. I have never been to Peru, but the litany classism vs racism sounds very familiar. Argentines sing that song, and it is just denial. Racism is prevalent in all south of the USA cultures I know. It is not the same brand of Racism that is mainstream in the US, but it is perhaps even stronger as awareness in these issues have been raising only during the last two to three decades. As it is different than theirs, Americans (specially White Americans) often fail to recognize it, but Argentina's is a very Racist culture. I know that Uruguay, Paraguay, Colombia, and the South of Brazil are also cultures definitively Racist. I actually think that the focus on race is misleading, and hopefully globalization will not infect all our cultures with the American way. Rather than thinking it mainly from the point of view of race, and speaking of White Supremacy (where White means Anglo Saxon), I look at it from a more culture focused perspective. I look at it as European Supremacy, which is more comprehensive than White S, and gives more visibility to the Native American cultures suppressed by the invasion. I am unsure about Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico, because those are cultures that have built a bridge with their pre columbian history. Their native cultures form part of their national identities and histories, unlike the USA or the countries I listed in the first paragraph. Their fight against European Supremacy is older and more successful, to the point that Bolivia is nowadays a fascinating experiment of syncretism. But even in Bolivia Racism highlights the clash between the Europeist White Bolivians and their Indigenist brothers.

You are in Rio. Order a caipirinha or a caipiroska.

Go ahead

Meh. Troubling, indeed. Interesting? I do not think so. It happens all the time, everywhere, and it has always happened all the time and everywhere.

Please, before reading the article posted above by one of the new racist forum members, take a read to this disclaimer available on the same webpage: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/disclaimer/ If you then read the article, it is easy to understand how a research that includes a 30 subjects sample and categories as not rigorous as "African American", "Caucasian", or "East Asian", is published there. The only valid conclusion for this research is that the Black guys they chose for their study (only 10) tended to sweat more. Racism, ignorance, and stupidity always parade together.
