What a shocker! If I have got this right he posseses the skills, resources, and experience to pack up the crap and transport it to Palookaville USA ... sorry, I may be way off and reading too much into the very meagre outside info from which I am drawing hypotheses. I have never met any of the stakeholders. But once again my fave movie quote 1974 comes to mind ... said to Jack N character after Evelyn Mowbray is shot thru the skull: "Forget it, Jake; it's [insert]Town."

The topic heading could just as easily be “relationships ruining threesomes?”

Please do, it would be ducky if you could follow up. If you are not referring to telechapero, morbototal, RentMen, Hunqz, etc, this is news to us.

Oh, so sorry, I find the reception VIP private room to be no less soundproof than anywhere else there or elsewhere. But you may just need to shut the door or turn down the hearing aid. If anything, I thought the pounding against the headboard would bleed into the ceramic bench space and provide disruptive acoustic accompaniment to the endless mute Just For Laughs: Gags loop. The humour concept, lost on you, though ... you obviously get to decide what and who is amusing. No problemo. Bitter much? Sheesh. Fellows, I have used the room in question several times and never had the sense of acoustic distractions from the area outside of it, but that is just my take.

Our Lady of Lourdes, heart of Chapinero ...

Useful yet complex and head-spnning thesis-grade observations to add to the extant overthinking about LRD I myself have been accused of. Might this be a classic example of the pot calling the kettle ... avocado?

Sometimes so self-conscious at brothels I want to ...

I know, right? That and public park cruising and action, Yucatecan home-based orgies, public disclosure of upturned hungry horny hole in a bottom's sling, etc ... we nervous Nellies concerning privacy, modesty and discretion. LOL

Sometimes our own posts unwittingly create night vision visuals of others ...

Being Caucasian and privileged in Quebec, I cannot help but transfer my inevitable anti-Haitian sentiments to anti-Haitianismo and to manifest overall and insightless shameless racism when visiting LRD. I do so very much lustfully and greedily want that BBC from impoverished shanty-shack migrants and I want them to look, smell and taste good and to have the nutritional habits and standards that support BB-grade fitness model physical development. I want all this for pennies to the dollar. I could never hope to aspire to the highly evolved sensitivity of many of my peers, irrespective of racial background, and I hope that this admission helps to continue to reinforce my position and reputation beneath the status of my betters who have a superior grasp of ethnicity, are exemplars of “getting it”, and strive valiantly to chivalrously defend the rights and and dignity of their special friends. Cultural acumen and mastering the politics of race and ethnicity is evidently far to (too?) great a burden to bear in the context of such widespread ignorance, and there appear to be so many triggers that exhaust one’s capacity to disabuse others of their prejudicial notions. Such a dominoe effect. I am inclined to want no part in it but, then, that likely just proves the point I am making about myself.

Kneepads and balaclavas a tad abstruse there ... they like baseball, but unless they can grasp and relate to the subtleties of a Homer run, as some of us familiar with Simpsons can, keep your rollerball pads concealed under your metal-studded assless/crotchless black leather chaps. So yeah, be a white dot on a black background, but try not to be a weird one. LOL

@rtu123, you probably notice that most of us are not predisposed to making a dumb-ass analysass of your motives or capacity for extracting meaningfully the more touristy offerings of the city. Your report reminds of my first visit almost 5 years ago. I stayed at the Hotel Monte Castelo in Gloria steps west of 117. I was overwhelmed by 117 and fell into the mindset of pigging out on the most appealing batch of trade I could ever have managed. I don’t recall any sightseeing though I had devoured DK Eyewitness travel in preparation. I was immersed in a fantastical dream and afraid I would wake up. Like you, I booked my second visit right away, a Copa hotel, but got hit by dengue that time Then a third trip a few months following, a gorgeous gated community turn of century house in Catete, making up for lost time at 117/202 the illness fiasco previously. I first visited Redentor 30 months following my first visit! I had begun long stay visits in Airbnb including an extended period with a working family. It took me a few years to really integrate the main sights and then then the more detailed “gravy” and cultural events at Theatro Municipal and other venues, also visiting ‘further afield’ locations. I have done these usually alone or with accompanying visiting friends met there or from my home base social circle, never with trade. Since you are “bitten by the bug”, the good kind not the Aedes Egypti version, there will likely be plenty of time and opportunity to fold in and balance more conventional experiences along with the ‘numero uno’ agenda. BTW, you can see all of Rio on Youtube but on the screen only look not touch the bare essentials. LOL.

I think, then, it is the ads that will be your source. There seem to be more options since I was last there 3.5 years ago (no encounters). Hunqz helped to expand the choices and more providers seem to be rolling thru Lisbon on their “world tours”. I love the city and may return if escort selection is good; I have seen all the sights to my satisfaction.

For Air Transat Montreal to Santo Domingo I find the prices high for the length. I found cheaper for new AirCan starting Montreal-SaoPaulo seasonal service this winter.

I think the merger will mean miles collection interchange among ACan, Transat and United, etc, but not quite yet, I assume Transat will be Star Alliance

Note to self: Amtrak Adirondack to NYC, skirt all other US cities by flight, and use Air Canada, Aeromexico and Copa for points south. BTW, a Canadian airline I use for LRDominican, AirTransat based in Montreal, is merging with Air Canada, whose stock has about quadrupled over 4 years.

Some pussy is simply high maintenance, like it or not ...

But remember it is essential to approach all this commercially and to impose an upper limit price point on gratuities such as meals. There is a very precarious economic system at play and you do not want to be “that guy”, the one who is responsible for the BOVESPA crashing. I seem to be paying less and less over the years for the same thing. The rate oracles are well-intentioned but not alleviating my concerns about these inauspicious trends. Can it last? Will providers catch on that our home advantage deep pockets are accompanied by home advantage strengthening currencies? Is it so easy to be either a cheap arsehole or a generous arsehole? Now I am going to fret for days whether or how to stay exactly on the correct neutral line between these 2 opposing labels.

I had edited in a few paragraphs but they disappeared, so here is an attempt at an addendum: I had been flirting and making tentative plans with several prior to really catching on. When I suggested I was confused and I made my observations known “perhaps there is a reason such as local privacy, etc”, want to give some benefit of doubt as they may want local gawkers off their scent etc, stated we would meet first for coffee but I would compensate them for intro time, or that I would require a current 3-finger selfie or something similar, not surprisingly I was ghosted. One fellow sent me the requested selfie and the other guy I mentioned above is enthusiastic about lunch. He is a Theatron “gogo”. I should clarify the advance cash requested by 2 of the guys was in private communication, not stated in their ad.

I took a few weeks to research a longlist of 15 Bogotá ads, really appealing pics, entered their #s Whatsapp, then reverse searched each number in Google. This procedure brought up several current and dated ads, but the kicker is when opening Google-sourced ads pulled up under that phone number it was often different guy different pics, or an ad with a different number listed even though Google had searched a number I entered. No spreadsheet can do justice to this display of musical ads, musical guys, musical pics, musical contact info ... I assume musical fakes, flakes and scams, while you waste your time and energy playing musical chairs cuz your bum hurts spending so much screen time in one position. Two guys asked for cash advance, another red flag. I think that maybe 3 (20%) are authentic. Buyer beware, vet thoroughly and carefully, and meet in public first. One authentic guy with whom I have have had extensive contact, ID sharing etc, admitted himself to have 2 cellular numbers.

I hear Jair isn’t a strong swimmer ... perfect.
