I think the idea is to take the overnighter in one direction, where there are some time blocks of evening and morning scenery, but the capacity to kill some of the travel time while asleep, then arrange a more daytime travel schedule for the other direction, with less of the nostalgic amenities and less missed scenery. I believe I read recently somewhere that Scotland is rated the top destination for scenery ... I think Canada was 2nd. Also learned that a lot of Norman names are legitimately bound to Scottish clan tartans. I am not Scottish but my name (anglicized French) is one of many linked to the Campbell tartan, and is also the same as a town in Scotland.

I think that the division of age groups at the type of event mentioned would tend to place you in the "client" category, so there may be some unkind reactions to your intent to sell sexual favours as a means of supporting yourself. But I do believe commercial sex workers come in all sizes and ages, and with varying menus, so that social event would be a good introduction, particularly as you have chosen to explore being an escort at the cusp of a very tricky time in terms of legalities of advertising services.

Some of them do take a PDE5 inhibitor, with or without looking at the erotica to enhance erectile capability. It is not a cut and dry solution. For some men, Viagra helps to boost initial erection; for others it helps to sustain erection, while subjectively aroused, by inhibiting natural erection neutralization. But manual or oral stimulation with the drug on board may be insufficient unless SUBJECTIVELY turned on. For me personally, none of the 3 doses do a thing except side effects. I am only going to get and maintain an erection if with a person who meets my criteria. On balance, my astonishment at erectile reliability among the GP population far outweighs any misgivings related to methods they might use to guarantee erection robustness. Finally, we are relying on these fellows to have short refractory periods. That merits some leeway. Additionally, I would prefer to adjust and adapt to their reality than be a reason for them to risk priapism upon dose sequencing, though that might be less probable with Cialis.

Excellent report from the OP. I do not particularly mind the video reliance and I am surprised by how accepting they are of the poor porn quality. But quite a few big hot straight guys do not seem to focus on it in missionary. In quarto, their gaze is hard to discern. Funny thing is: I have had dozens of programas at 202 and I have to admit I cannot recall if they have screens in the suites like at 117. What I would like is bigger and better strategically placed reflection. The mirror features at Lovetime Hotel, and Alameda to a point, add an explosion of visual stimulation. In contrast, at the saunas the mirrors are either too small or it is challenging to position yourself to see well. But if you go to to Hotel Alameda, ask for a room with red accent lighting ... the rooms with green lighting are garish.

But there are a few love interest candidates and the viewer is left hanging, like in the final ferris wheel scene, as to the ID of the anon gay poster.

Correction: I indicated a10% mortality rate ... in fact, over 1,500 cases in Brasil since July 2016, 30% death rate. I also did not know that YF vaccination in 14 interior states was already a longstanding routine procedure. The gov't plans to administer 70 million doses over the next 12 months, from perimeter n/e thru to s/e and south, so they must have a huge supply chain.

If you personally benefit by saving money staying in a cheaper place I can see deviating from your stomping grounds. I and others here have stayed in hotels not too far n/w from Lagoa, east of the park (Iberapuera?). I think mine was a Days Inn about a 10 minute walk west on the same street as Lagoa. Adequate. But I prefer Jardim/Paulista ... and pretty quick to the Metro near Lagoa. If you are fully expensed, I recommend remaining in your familiar zone.

I have always had a thing for Josh Duhamel. Now greying a little. Mm mm mm. Enjoyed the clever plot twists and turns and surprise ending.

Just starting S4. So many programs with which to keep up. And I am sucked into discovering what new version of the quirky little pigtail Maestro pulls off?

I must be less cynical. I think the message is that there have recently been hundreds of YF cases clustered in a relatively small area of Brazil, considering the immensity of the country. 10% of these have died, some of them foreign travellers. The country has been trying to arrange large-scale vaccination. Vaccination is the lowest common denominator for individual prevention and to ward off an urban outbreak, because urban spread of YF mimics the transmission patterns of Zika, Chikungunya, and dengue ... human to human via mosquito. There are enough red flags to suggest that many of the preliminary conditions for the first major urban outbreak in 90 years have been reached. Vaccination as prevention is one person at a time. It is two-pronged in that it protects you and you cannot be the source of another's exposure. Simple math, N of 1, multiply by a lot, factor in our good fortune in terms of access compared to inhabitants of the African continent.

Things change quickly ... CDC just recommended vaccination for visitors to anywhere in Brazil.

I got the vaccination last Fall (non-fractionated) prior to travel to Minas Gerais. A significant proportion of new infections in SP state have occurred within 15 kms of SP city; a significant proportion in RJ state occurred in Teresopolis area, within 100 kms of RdeJ city. Not a bad idea to get inoculated, as high density pop areas are hot zones if and when YF is introduced. Having had 2 subtypes of dengue, I have a great deal of respect for Aedes Aegypti buggers. Currently, the odds of exposure remain low but can be deadly.

His new standup special "Humanity" now on Netflix. He has still got it.

I also get a kick out of the way some react emojis are employed, a sidekick that is ... right out of the Rosencrantz-Guildenstern playbook.

Point taken, but if you read between the lines I avoided saying something much ruder to anyone bellyaching about not having the "type" they prefer for sex. If you don't grasp that I am suggesting it is silly to complain about the proportions of skin tones when there are other harsher realities, that is a lesser problem for me than if I were to use more direct finger-wagging. But, thanks, in the end I still managed the roundabout way. I also don't completely get some of what is written here, but I don't mind a brain-twister here and there.

Single-origin out-of-Africa theory makes us all more the same, physical features irrelevant, than these staggering variations in product economics.

Of course you mean blood, tartegogo, because one drop of my panties is also not a rule I could follow there.

I agree there is a selection of Caucasian DNA and/or predominantly Caucasian admixture chaps in all the saunas I have visited in Rio, SP, BHz, PA, Fortaleza, and Salvador. Though my last time in Bahia dates back 2 years. One of my faves at 117 was incontrovertibly white thru and thru but quit a year ago. There are relatives by marriage in my family who are fair-skinned blue-eyed blondes, yet 1/4 Senegalese. There is a set of 1st cousins at 117, one a gorgeous mulatto/moreno, the other could pass for a Windsor (and he speaks English due to apprenticeship in a Commonwealth country). Though none of this is a stretch.

I'd have thought a club server would be more receptive to being induced to let you gorge ta on his picle, or at least laugh it off.

You can obtain a SIM chip and contract at a service centre without a CPF. Many of you know this. I have used day pass, one-month, and longer-duration gym memberships without a CPF, but paying the total up-front obviously. Interesting to learn of the airfare variance, though as a foreigner I have found the regular domestic fares to be quite reasonable. I appreciate learning about the steps to obtain a CPF. Does not hurt to have one, particularly if purchasing local bus, airline, entertainment events, etc online.

Food waiters and tipping ... I consistently see a 10% service charge on the bill. It is not sales tax. When I ask if it is a propina I get an affirmative answer. The wireless credit card gadgets do not have a gratuity step like in my home country. I thought that absence reinforced the idea that the 10% is an add-on benefiitting the server. I could be wrong, but I thought this 10% practice operates for meals as well as bar drinks without food. But if the 10% is essentially base wages I would possibly change my custom and tip a meal server above it.

Re: STI "occurrence", we all have the same access to research abstracts and papers. No need to hit the CDC library for the latest meta-analysis. Bear in mind that incidence or prevalence rates are not the same as transmission rates. One of the skull or groin lozenges you suck has a reasonable probability for containing STI viral or bacterial particles. There are many co-factors that determine whether you will have been gifted with them by the light of subsequent days. You have to make precaution decisions based on what is theoretically possible. I just want to suggest accessing any clinical prevention remedy that exists. The rest is discretionary behaviour.

I have logged several months overall of living within a 10-minute walking distance to the Gloria/CandidoDeMendes intersection without incident. I tend to feel more on guard walking from Tonelero up Siqueira Campos to 202, likely because there is theoretically more foot traffic between the favela and the Metro station, and later at night there is a short span without much of a sidewalk crowd. Car hijackings do occur in the city, but the chances overall are obviously quite low. When I take an Über, however, I sit in the front passenger seat so that I am not telegraphing "Hey, this is a tourist in an Über."

Exactly! More for them, as the little bit of research existing suggests that up to 20% of men who pay for sex are found to have an STI on routine consultation, without necessarily having had telltale symptoms. Male commercial sex workers also tend to be more lax than female sex workers, and the research suggests that up to 40% of male sex workers not on the street would spot-test positive for an STI, a higher rate than for female sex workers and for men who have non-commercial sex with men. But many of those transmissions were contracted from clients, not difficult math given the volume of tricks turned. These estimates are at the high end of confidence intervals. In other words, the true rates are likely lower, or depends on the group and other factors, but these figures are still sobering. And in your face at the clubs the big head can see the potential chain of transmission on full display even if the little head is clueless. I myself fellate without a condom some of the time, but I get tested regularly, am immune against HepB, and take PreP when sexually active, just for good measure though it is far less imperative. In a foreign country I do not want to deal with the local system in the event of accidental exposure. I would suggest the most important precaution in the travel sex playbook is to be immune against Hepatitis B, by vaccination, or you may have previous exposure and clearance. I caught HepB and was extremely ill through protected sex many years ago, via the kissing part. It is not a wimpy virus in terms of transmission. Acute HepB can be very serious, even kill. I have had none of the more garden-variety STIs that can be acquired in the saunas in Brazil. I consider this to be luck more than smarts. We probably most of us have HPV.

For those keen on a version of the Vidigal Beebs look. there is a fellow "Roberto" available in Madrid. Also not consistently shock-dyed.
