  1. Moonwalker, the recurring theme you query is 'safe'. It is a self-preservational and commonly asked question. When folks ask about my BRZ travels and safety, notwithstanding they are usually unaware that I pay for muscle studs to skull- and ass-fuck me into next Tuesday, my usual repsonse is that adventures there are unSAFE, where SAFE is acronym for 'satisfactory answer for everyone'. Safe is retrospective ... it was or wasn't. Prospective safety does not exist. Mitigating harm is possible. Folks here like sanddunes and some others are spot on in terms of the central question. He gave some examples for harm-reduction, though you may have already considered them. Same for specificity. Only generality is prospective. Retrospectively, you got royally fucked or royally fucked. If you got royally fucked, no thanks to anyone here. If you got royally fucked, no thanks to anyone here. (Not a typo) Getting us to helicopter here will not have helped you much if it is the good royal, it is flimsy, and I doubt this forum would be credited for any of your good fortune. If it is the bad royal, you messed up or shit happened, but you had asked the unanswerable though the question is instinctive. Ego/status preservation among any of the contributors here will not value-add to the core question or predetermine your sexual fun fate. I do think that in the sexual and fishing-for-same domain some respondents may emphasize checking ego, bravado and previous life averts at the door because libido and naïveté may override common sense. Such admonishments should be taken as community care and I have sometimes wished I were as self-critical of my own risk of safety lapses. How they are packaged is less important than you extracting what is relatable for you and GF. Words to the wise have been delivered. When you ask a safety question within a collective, it is your job to sift, sort, and toss or integrate. You may get your hackles up for me saying this, but I think that you, in this case in this thread, started it going south when you nipped a hand that fed you. Better to think (or say), for answers to questions made that you do not fully like or embrace: I had thought of that, or, if I had thought of that, I'd have thought of that. Not that I am an exemplar in terms of this very advice. Condoms, PrEP, and STD surveillance are recommended. Some of these precautions will be more normative and acceptable within the GdeP pool than at large, where you may get more pushback and ire from recklessly cavalier hot studs with big dicks and atrophied brains. For every 50 local clients a GdeP gets down with, there is a .5% chance a tuberculosis exposure occurred. Public Health there is concerned about the degree of TB denialism that exists. You may see related ed posters in some of the brothel venues. Now then, to more important questions ... will I be safe leaving my house today?
  2. Order a ride from hotel to airport, available youngish driver Tweedledum IDd within seconds, app quoted X amount, meanwhile a taxi promoter on sidewalk hassling me with flat rate offer of 1.33X. Über driver Tweedledum msgs me the fare is unfair for the distance and he wants 2.0X cash. I reply, not committing to not cancelling, that I only use the app and did not have sufficient cash. He replies song and dance his account on the app is currently problematic glitches etc blah dee blah. I cancel within the app and start fresh. Later report him. Tweedledee comes up on the second round. Same make model different lic. Car with driver looking like Tweedledee and looking like the lic in the app pulls up and I say "Tweedledee?" He is brusque, does not say the usual "Riobard?" Tosses my 2 bags in the truck, plunks a small yellow taxi sign on the hood. I ask him his name. No response. Hop out, leaving door open. I check and photo his lic plate and also check the app and see the # is not exactly the same, just similar. Get in his face raise my voice sternly demanding he pop the trunk. He does not protest, I retrieve my bags. Feel relieved hotel porters, nice guys, are nearby. Renewed cab flat offers come my way. This time they are two cab hawkers, and small crowd watching the sideshow. I look down the road a few metres, lic plate visible and realized the real Tweedledee moved on past this mayhem, evidently thinking I flaked. After all I was not standing with my bags and visible as an apparent customer while dealing with fraudulent cabbie. AYK, a cancellation charge scam is also possible in these circumstances. I msg Tweedledee and he agrees to circle the block. Hotel porters help interpret the cryptic text. Arrives with correct lic delineated on app. Older chap. Fare on arrival airport comes to proper X amount. Not absolutely certain he is not in on the scam, but that would be amazingly more organized and sophisticated a level of scam than I am willingly to give that society credit for. 12 hours later, the pending charges and rebate credits are showing in online banking. Looks in order. For some reason Paypal was not operational in the app and thru the whole ordeal I had had to register another payment method. Must still query that. Time wasted: 20 minutes. Riobard one, scammer(s) zero. Always give yourself some wiggle room getting to airport on time. Have your wits about you. Ask driver his name, let him/her tell you rather than verify what you say. Ask driver to identify your name, do not volunteer your name for him to affirm the giveaway. Vigilance regarding make model lic. If a cash HWY toll booth involved, bear that in mind when tipping. The rates can actually be set on the low end and we don't need to over-exploit discounted rates abroad, do we.
  3. Freddy's number is in the public domain. There is enough info here to research it. I found it and confirmed he is Ready Freddy within 5 minutes on 'zap, for upcoming travel. That is how always ready he is. So at 1st glance, his job is to predict and expect rain at any given point in time and your role is to make it rain. Procurerrr: definition "person requisitioning orders of cock U R expecting rapidly regularly rigidly". And then the gravy of regular turista activities.
  4. But does not "comer" mean 'to eat'? I think the ad means he'll toss your salad then pound your arse. Otherwise, foder not comer. The only redundancy I want is repeat, repeat, repeat ... Anyway your points are well taken. Your translation certainly gets the gist. But when you run it thru again and back, he implicitly has the executioner's hood. Now that level of fantasy got me real excited! I think it's typical to ejaculate when dropped thru the gallows. But of course all in good fun with a safe word.
  5. A few months ago I took a few shots of some of the Masters at MASP, top floor. Here is a sample cluster. The works are arranged on stands surrounded by a perimeter of windows and natural light, rather than the traditional placement on gallery walls. It is easy to view there, and taking a shot does not disrupt other patrons' enjoyment. Kkkkk ... I did actually gaze extensively, not just blast thru with the shutter in front of my face. Somehow I mistakenly got trapped in a separate queue of locals on a Sunday morn who got in free and in priority time when doors opened. The images are not crisp because I grouped them for this post. Tap the cluster to sharpen the focus.
  6. I think I knew all that from your previous posts. In fact, I have viewed all your xtube videos. But was not aware that xtube would somehow automatically generate a link and that you could upload that link to this forum. Though I knew you had mastered the method of doing it. So anyway, I just now created an xtube account. I will see what can happen from there. I bet there are a few tricky steps too challenge my addled brain. I also just figured out how to cut out frames from the beginning and end of an iPhone video. They are often the sloppiest parts. Nobody exclaiming "scene", "smash cut" ... just amateur starts and stops that belong on the cutting room floor. What I am missing is the studio team of 2. But my first vid is not too shabby by xtube standards, a long way off KB quality.
  7. No I meant I have at least one an escort made with my bttm and his massive aubergine interacting. Discreet, like yours. But I do not have time and patience to learn these programs. I think fuggedabbuddit. We have no clear way to transmit these scenes behind the forum scenes.
  8. I am surprised this Krüger guy's # has not been released. All the other info in these related threads is detailed, in crisp technicolour wth no grey areas. I cannot wait to arrive soon and follow the roadmap to hot inexpensive guys with minimal effort I am not a techy ... tennisace, would you consider hosting brief smartphone vids you approve on your xtube site? I imagine might be complicated without breaking anonymity behind the scenes. I can post nonsex pics here but had no luck posting nonsex vids. I only use a tablet ... do not have a PC. Do not have great skills uploading to things like xtube.
  9. Oh, geez, tassojr, this is so tricky!!! I don't know what to say. Maybe contact Gay Men's Health Crisis NYC or the ASO in your city, or Ryan White Fdn. The Gilead patent is up and I am taking a considerably cheaper generic version in Canada. Tevapharm's emtricitabine/tenofovir. The company may have geared to income compassionate release. I would just suck up the cost for now.
  10. Good for you, dude! 4 quadrants: Group 1 neg Time 1, G1 poz T2, G2 neg T1, G2 poz T2.
  11. Yes, and Ipergay was dumped in favour of moving to comparing the two methods also (I neglected to add) due to the imperative of dispensing the on demand regimen to the placebo group that was demonstrating such a higher rate of breakthrough transmission. Current ongoing comparison of the two drug uptake methods poses less ethical conundrum because all get the meds. What I have not had time to explore is whether subjects self-select method based on preference and sex patterns vs randomized, matched for sex patterns plus randomized, etc. I would guess it is the former. The media sometimes abridges the details, as do conference abstracts, and google is a great but sometimes overwhelming friend. I also opened up Fugues (March edition) in Montreal and saw drug ads for poz I had not heard of. Perhaps PrEP will also evolve to new components down the line. Such a huge gap from single-item AZT menu, right? Stay safe, all!
  12. R U kidding me, dude?!!! I never set out to post research. You are the one that gave me the challenge. And I thought it would be remiss to not correct some misinterpretations of data. Many in our tribe, judging by empowered behavioural choices I witness in customary brothels, should indeed consume 24/365. I see what the problem is here, Benji ... you want the last word. Have at it. Be the dog vehemently overworking the bone. No lightning rod of yours, frankly, is going to attract an epiphany let alone a bit of give in your stance. Gilead actually does not manufacture my tenofovir-emtricitabine regime. In any case, manufacturers sponsor, not do, research. Caeron, kkkkkkkk, right? LMAO.
  13. It would be, but you have grossly misinterpreted Ipergay. You need to read beyond the brief summary abstract. On demand Truvada 1% infection annually; 99% effective, not 86% effective. Placebo, no drug, 7% annual infection. All considered, fucking without any Truvada, 93% safe. Remember, HIV is a wimpy retrovirus until you get one particle germinating in your bloodstream. A 14% failure rate might occur in a study arm of full--time darkroom ass-in-sling non-HAART-consuming bttms. For low infection rates, 86% more effective is impressive. Do not get caught up in the complex stats math ... things like rigourous confidence intervals override simple arithmetic and are extreme in taking our wellbeing seriously.
  14. PS: the Ipergay study is the same lead researcher Molina and compares on-demand to placebo (placebo is no drug; subjects double-blind except side effects may be a giveaway), predates Prevenir research project by a few years, and does not compare on-demand to permanent daily uptake. Very different research approach. In Prevenir, obviously both treatment arms open label unblinded. The team is not self-contradictory. But read, interpret, and behave at will and according to resources and prefernce.
  15. The Prevenir study ... my clinic where I receive consultation is one of the cohort sites. i believe another study was truncated because the evidence of efficacy was incontrovertible in the early stages and there is only so much funding, and clinicians may be satisfied that replicated findings are less important than one solid longitudinal temporally prospective cohort design. Again, the two options depend on sex patterns and preference. There should be a journal-level report eventually. I am on holiday and do not wish to spend hours using my faculty library privileges for a thorough online search and report. Also consider that many populations do not prophylax due to lack of access to costly meds. On demand may help mitigate infection among these, though sadly not solve the larger socioecon factors. Look, I am reasonably qualified to interpret the findings and make an informed choice. I am a retired clinician/researcher/educator with 12 years of uni ed. This is not the place to more specifically self-identify, but if admin here wants the option to corroborate that my capacity to weigh in ranks highly, I am willing to share with admin my credentials and live with how admin rates me out of 10 viz expertise on this subject. Brooklyn 99 ... not a doctor. That said, I AM NOT GIVING CLINICAL ADVICE. And I don't want the volleying back and forth here to be farthically thilly. A 10% difference is the usual standard for the threshold of clinical significance. I do not have the time or interest to drill down further. I take my health very very very very seriously but I have former trustworthy associates who have world-class status in Infectious Diseases / Genitourinary Medicine. I am not a contrarian on the current subject. I do other pro bono work and folks here can and will put on their bigboy investigation pants. Not my wage grade to be convincing here. I have rather sloppily added some screenshots. And now, breakfast and on to today's collision course of dick, cum and last night's true-vada blue pill swallow.
  16. I can try to post a screenshot of the mapping but not until home in a week, as i am currently in east coast zone of the country without the SP portion of my materials. BTW DK guide got two of the SP churches mixed up.
  17. I use DK Eyewitness travel guides, hardcover. Much cheaper formats of those publications available iBooks or Kindle. The Brazil version would cover SP and Floripa, as well as RJ for future. The RJ Top10 version is unnecessary if you spring for the country guide. I described a walking itinerary for SP in the thread 'SP in dribs and drabs' here, Sept 2018?
  18. Caution re: Grindr, etc. There are reports of setups. Unfortunately, you would need to take several hours to scan this forum section for testimonials related to the darker side. The cautionary info is woven into the fabric of more generic threads here. You may have in your favour being an N of 2, giving pause to wannabe opportunists.
  19. TMI?? We expect fully rendered explicit accounts!
  20. Massage houses with tantrica [nudge wink] are less stable. This is my observation following the ads over the years. I stick to Lagoa or Fragata. netgay.com.br may yield some ads/links
  21. Perhaps you can do a search here and find some contributions about rentboys in the Floripa sauna venues. Just enter the short or long form. But I think the info remains ambiguous. You have not clearly indicated your leaning even though Lagoa is on the bucket list. My interpretation is you seek regular play.
  22. That is similar to what I do, Germark. This means you will be walkable as well to the Montjuic Fountains free nighttime light show, just south of the Pl Espanya roundabout (also a Metro stop). Worthwhile to get the schedule. Might be a little later due to summer solstice sundown timing. There is also a tourist centre right in the middle of the traffic circle (underground crisscross thorughfares) and a lot of eateries in the converted former bull ring the northeast side. Restaurant Pura Brasa n/e on the circle also great food, busy, but a little pricier. I have not shopped and cooked in homestay there. I don't have firm dates but targetting late May for a few weeks. Previous visit Fall 2016 but elsewhere in Spain since then. For Metro, the T10 10-rides pass is best value. You will be using Metro if you plan on major sites beyond Eixample, etc. I am inclined to Über elsewhere, that is, in other cities, but I have not been anywhere in BCN that was not easily accessible using the Metro. Or the 3 trams in the northwest, but those few area sights are more for finesse of repeat visits. Enjoy! Such a marvellous city, and having the bro-thel so very much value-added. PS: I just recalled Über viability there is reportedly in question anyway.
  23. I am also Canuck. You should be OK clinically. However, previous contributions here have highlighted the necessity of YF vaccine if you are not returning directly to Canada or USA. Same for Brazil outbounds. For example, if you are connecting in Panama you will be denied entry if you want to leave airside zone. Not a problem for a quick transfer, but an extended delay leaving Panama would put you uncomfortably on a standard Tocumen gate chair, though access to amenities, with no option to clear customs and visit the city or book an airport area hotel. You are likely Air Canada direct from or thru TO. If Copa, word to the wise is herein delivered. I will be flying Copa to Bogotá, but I have the lifetime nonfractionated inoculation. Personally, I recommend vaccination to allow for spontaneity or pitfalls in planning or execution.
  24. I was not at all putting forth an opinion (or even dreamt my prescribed treatment protocol would be challenged), other than describing how on-demand fits my needs better. But I am picking up challenges to this method and that there were members here implicitly aligned with you, TotesAwesome, when in fact you just posed a lack of updated info, as you correctly state. In contrast to you, one member is eschewing appreciative inquiry in favour of rabid fundamentalism. Sheesh! Reminds me of the female-condom activist years ago at conferences, screaming disruptively that the medical system was remiss in not promoting an anal condom version for MSM. WTF, our respective physicians are not going to go all pistols at dawn. He said, she said, I said, you said, you didn't say, etc etc etc was certainly not where I anticipated this would go. But then, again, how dumb am I to not have forecasted heated controversy? This is now to some degree getting to the crazy-town level of vaccine denialism, expressed by a subsection of the membership, with the difference that the denialism is in the direction of prophylaxis scheduling overkill for patients who are intermittently sexual. I think I will favour the rigourous research findings over misguided cherry-picking of drug package insert phrasing.
