The recent hook-up of the extensive Metro Line5 Lilac to Santa Cruz, and the Line17 Gold monorail currently under construction from 5 to Congonhas, may add value to the area.

Animal Kingdom (TV Series)

Don't forget to check out the original Aussie film for comparison. Only the length of 2 episodes. -
New member question about who the "police" are here, lol.

À propos of the grammar and spilling, the sex police gait-keep my a-hole with condemns. -
Colombia: full list of hot spots
Riobard replied to Tartegogo's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Tobi? Yes. IG: clubdetobimedellin Fercho's seems to still have less public advertising, defer to the 'zap. A few factors alone perhaps explain the ambiguity. Its mandate is more defined than a bathhouse or strip club. Its popups may occur outside of designated tolerance zones or in rented facilities that may not be keen about it. And brokering/pimping and organizing prostitution and sex tourism are illegal. -
CURE FOR THE GAY MAN'S LONELY BLUES
Riobard replied to BlkSuperman's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Your enthusiasm for, and success with, ball sports and playstation for 4 are unrivalled. All great suggestions. -
The figure I described is correct. It seemed ill-advised to say appropriate or acceptable even though a sexually neutral poll question within the sampling. The smaller, ie inverted proportion, the 25% that you intuit, would be applicable to the question of non-commercial sexual intimacy acceptability, not surprising given a literal and simplified interpretation of the law as it pertains to adults and adolescents (threshold age 14), not children.

Before any reader here (excluding the majority not inclined) gets their panties all moist and starts frantically scanning Trivago for deals while flagging and starring their social media cache of adolescents, I would suggest a careful drilled-down review of how the clause of age difference may be broadly interpreted, notwithstanding the non-commercial intent of sexual interaction with a a14-17yearold. What may be determined ultimately legal case-by-case does not preclude apprehension, particularly if you fit the stereotype of adult homosexual travelling abroad. Age differential, whether for adult nationals or foreigners, pertains to position of authority, trust, potential for exploitative enticement, whether the interaction may propel the teen into eventual 'legal' prostitution, and so on. Not being the T-ball coach would be insufficient criterion for exoneration. (Male adult nationals BTW, 75% of them, consider it not inappropriate to "chat" online with children and adolescents they do not know.) Therefore, among other things, in the non-commercial context, your age; the teen's age; your capacity to exert general influence over a youth naturally considered to be vulnerable; taking images even for nondistribution; and perhaps most importantly, whether for example the relationship or arrangement developed quickly, secretly, or electronically, are important factors. Like anywhere else, Brazil prefers, in no particular order, the purity ring pact or their teens to be getting in on with peers. You are best advised to keep it to the Death in Venice playbook.

Like I said, it was a foreign concept to use in my circles in the 20th century context, UNTIL I then personally discovered the Board. And I never used the defunct Rentboy. Robigallia has the ring of Renaissance Fair for NAMBLA. Substitute Thomasin or Frideswide with Caligula. LOL Escorts of both gender north of the low-to-mid40's counted among my practice clients, so I was not so naïvely sheltered. I think my peer group's scandalous irony was less embedded in ancient history, a more serious if interesting academic realization, and more reflected in the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence movement.

I personally know and have socialized with some locals who drop off and pick up their children at the school next door, partially English immersion, the gate inches away from that usually ajar blue door. Believe you me, I quickly ascertained the end-of-day sched, yet the spread of retrieval could extend along with the typical sidewalk socializing. If caught red-handed, there is a chapel within the same building, pinned on Google Maps. "Erm, this blue door leads to the place of worship, né? ... Não? Tá! ... Ai meu Deus!

Exactamente ... plant the seed for how an alert notice might be crafted. I would only very cautiously make an on-the-nose recommendation to a brasileiro homem. I have learned that an innocent suggestion can be a bad omen.

And of course a fourth, New Meio Mundo which deserves at least half a mention. The most northerly. Has a website. And IG presence: newmeiomundo Some decent Centro sights can be accessed on an afternoon prior to heading in. 19 with 'program men' would be an exponential increase ... 69 to the power of the bottom, or 8.3 to the power of two or more. I just saw a rather slick but tame new vid ad for Rio G on Youtube.

I suggest that you contact Rodolfo by email (thru site). BTW it is his b'day Sat. I don't plan on Såo Paulo for a while, but I would try to extract some info without being seen as badgering. Like: Dear R, I heard there may be a bigger and better location coming up. I come from a large distance at huge expense. If there is a temporary closure, how might I avoid that period? It is exciting that the club approaches 25 years of heaven. For visitors not so much in on the more local word-of-mouth, would there be an Instagram notice or some other type of alert? [and: these are my planned travel dates, R; you are likely the best judge of their feasibility]

Not a resident, just very familiar with the Catete/Gloria enclave, where I try to stay out of the way of collisions between Noah's Ark and Snapchat. ;-D

Actually, across a span of 42 years of gay culture immersion, I do not recall the use of "boy" employed at all for young adult sex partner. We might casually say "nice boy" to generically describe any pleasant male. The avoidance seemed not to do with distancing from a paedo stereotype, and there were virtually no linguistic remnants of oppression in my particular settings. As a boy, I was typically addressed by my name or the alternately affectionate or stern sobriquet "young man". Our male dog would be called "boy" a lot. My initial broader exposure to the more widespread use of the single-word term occurred here, employed to refer to: the employed. Perhaps south of the 49th parallel it denotes servitude, or to emphasize some class distinction, maybe not even that consciously. My gay community peers not in our tribe would think it odd to describe a casual trick of any legal age, or a seller, as "boy".

Read this and save a few days of perusing, though perusing may be helpful: There are 3 brothels that are bathouse/bar hybrids and contain steamroom and dry sauna facilities. The sauna can be non-dry if you port your alcoholic bar beverage. These are brothels due to the gender of occupants, not to be confused with broettethels where the trade are female. Otherwise, there are several additional bathhouses. Generally, sauna, or termas (ruffly translated as spa or heated waters) is contained in the name of a traditional bathhouse, whereas sometimes the name of a brothel has the word 'club' in the venue name. For safety, it is best to stay in the sauna or steamroom for 20 minutes max at a time. The bathhouse or brothel time limit is much longer. Each establishment is unSAFE, where SAFE means "same answer for everyone". Spartacus Gay Guide at some point did not Finnish thinking through the traditional definition and meaning of sauna.

You evidently rode up right through the Flamengo shore. If you missed them, next time consider two things at your fingertips. My usual neihbourhood, so glad you discovered it as an alternative beach ride. Our Lady of Glory on the Hill church (c 1733?) for the view; access to inside is rare and usually I find the most likely on Sunday mornings or in conjunction with the other times of the Mass schedule when congregants attend. Catete Palace and its Museu de Republica. The gardens start at the cluster of soccer fields and the palace is at R. do Catete (extends north to Gloria) and R. Silveira Martins. ----- The tram light rail transit (VLT) you graced is a great method of exploration and many of the stops in its southeasterly sections are essential sightseeing attractions. You can also use paper currency in the fare machines to load the card once you have the card, but you would want small denominations to prevent overloading your card value and the machines have zero capacity to return bills or coins. ----- Oh, and those animal faces dress you up to the tens, not that you need it.

Bogota and Brazil July August 2019

COP dipped abruptly again past week, so your greenback has almost 20% greater purchase power compared to a year ago. BRL xchng is about the same as last XMAS.
