Barcelona (Thermas) 2019 latest recommendations
Riobard replied to joe2001london's topic in European Men and Destinations
At the risk of repeating previous posted info, if you wish to be thorough: Rentmen Hunqz Telechapero Morbototal The latter two are exclusive to Spain and may contain ads absent from the two global sites. -
It’s postponed Carnival, Apr 20-30, should be high energy with perhaps selection decency upticked irrespective of day.

Oh I taped it, and a new more recent special too? Can’t wait until back from Europe. Too bad his sitcom was shortlived.

why usd to reais is so weak
Riobard replied to babybear2's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Without accounting for respective inflation metrics it has to drop to about BRL3.50 before a rate hike of, say, from 150 reais in early 2015 to a current amount of 200 reais confers a true escort home team advantage in terms of the dollar’s value. Up until that hypothetical point the 33% pay increase continues to nevertheless translate to a salary cut in relative terms. If the baseline is arbitrarily set at the historical time frame of one’s initiation into trade there then there is no real valid comparison because there is a broad range above or below a difference of zero. -

Punta Cana DR - Tips & Tricks?

I guess we are going to have to consider renaming it Punter Canta, or the wordier ‘Can’t get the tip of the cane let alone the cane’. -
Domestic airfares in Brazil - why so expensive?
Riobard replied to speedoo1's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Glad it worked out. I purchased a day ahead, BRL100 semi-leito one occasion, 159 leito another occasion on ‘1001’. Did you get one of the more isolated singles right side (2 in all I think) that I think are also raised up higher from the floor, or from the larger bank of side-by-side seats on the left (I think that is a cluster of 6 spaces)? I was on the left side of the bus but assumed all leito seats were the same price within the timeline price tier that obviously itself varies. -
Colombia: full list of hot spots
Riobard replied to Tartegogo's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
There are several Theatron strippers on Instagram. Some describe having careers or studying something or other. A few seem to cross over into fitness training. The stripper gigs appear oriented to exclusive or supplementary income. They also appear to be kept in line by agents that dominate the provision of club entertainment assignments, in contrast to the North American dancer scene. The point being is that money may talk if sums large enough to attract attention, and contact may be possible, but my sense is that escorting on the down low is not the MO except those that are cross-pollinated with St M / GEH. You might entice with a trip to Mexico or St Andres / Providenciales etc. Instagram accounts don’t clue you in to the subset that performs at GEH. The chase all comes across as quite labour-intensive. I hooked up a few times with one guy, a gay club staff member, in Bogotá (paid). He importuned for cash donations after I returned home, so there is that dynamic to contend with as well. Another fellow I met, featured at Theatron at some point in the past but had graduated from that role, and with whom there was social interaction beyond intensely hot erotic when I was there did not request additional cash in our follow-up communication. (Off topic) he had offered to arrange a threesome with a hot dancer friend actively taking gigs at Theatron but scheduling did not work out. The compensation expectations were ridiculously low. Then the pandemic a few months later and intentions to return and strike while the iron was still warm fell by the wayside. -
Santo Domingo - Manny - Fees
Riobard replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
On a slightly different note, word to the wise, when texting known procurers outlined here in order to introduce yourself, take care to choose the direct bilateral English-Spanish translate function not the more elaborate English-Psychopathy-Spanish version, so as to avoid puzzling passages written in response to your reaching out. Similar to unpredictability in other aspects of commercial sex trade these things can be both amusing and offputting, just naturally coming with the territory and necessitating flexibility and forbearance. -
Santo Domingo - Manny - Fees
Riobard replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Au contraire, I believe you are seeking input on what to make of an apparent contradiction in what payment is expected. It cannot be entirely stripped of philosophy. Otherwise, you would have simply outlined the facts. There is nothing particularly noteworthy about the figures that either you or others are quoted or paid. If I were more obsessive I would recall what I doled out myself in Santo Domingo prior to the pandemic. In general I was not blown away on the type of guys on offer but I thought the fees were commensurate with the encounters. And I have been around the block countless times, punting for some 4 decades, quite a bit according to the multitude of international settings embedded in posts on our board. If I were a proxy defender for a procurer’s justification I would not be alluding to the prospects of higher fees for some predicated on soft exploitation; it’s built in to the trade dynamics. That said, I don’t discount that the explicit sharing of amounts (albeit ranges) is useful to a subset of the readership here. However, the trend in this forum is to celebrate a lowest common denominator in price when in actuality if that metric were higher it could still be considered appealing in the context of all location comparators. I don’t understand any basic objection to absence of absolute uniformity in cost for the same item. I am going to Europe imminently and the same flight class booked on one date is 48% higher than on another date. I see no reason to feel losing out at the higher price or advantaged at the lower price, depending on the purchase that got locked in. Such fixations seem a waste of time and energy because I believe they are mentally unhealthy and that things generally balance out in life. -
Santo Domingo - Manny - Fees
Riobard replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Like I indicated, the discussion opens a can of worms to the point where there is lacking consensus and accuracy about costs, now to the point not surprisingly where switching destinations is proposed as one possible solution. I have a suggestion, take it or leave it, but it worked for me. I had our illustrious procurer pick me up at the airport and deliver me to my accommodations, at which point we sat down to go over his catalogue and briefly review my past experiences in various locations, including fees to access structured escort venues typically, amounts paid to providers elsewhere particularly the best value for output, the breadth of utilization to expect from me, his role in introduction and package delivery, my preferred ‘type’, etc, without bringing up any “hearsay” about fairness/accuracy in price or what I knew about his delineation of rates to other punters. Up to that point, there had been no mention of fees, not in setting up his airport pickup weeks prior (except his transfer fee), not in his vehicle, not prior to or during a viewing of some of his provider photos. That specific component came up at the end of a relaxing patio conversation and it all generally seemed reasonable to me, bearing in mind his time ultimately spent on deliveries and parking his vehicle in congested areas in order to do so, as well as the added time it evidently took for escorts to meet up with him and attend my specific location. And drawing on the comparative reference point of a few Brazilian trips within the year prior. The content of such a face-to-face exchange could not possibly have been integrated into a WhatsApp discussion where the threshold of diminished return for the procurer is reached early. Similarly, a nuanced adjunct to the conversation that touches on potential fluidity of costs tends to go more smoothly and in a more personalized fashion than in texting someone not actually met yet. Once a procurer has conveyed prices in writing ahead of your visit because you solicited the info, without his knowing what you already know or think you know, an alteration in charges subsequent to that tends to connote that either you are special as it happens deserving of a discount or that there was an element of fleecing in the first place that the procurer must somehow take ownership of in engaging further with you. So this perhaps puts one in a paradoxical position … either insist on knowing costs ahead of your commitment to travel and risk getting what appears to an upsell that you must psychologically reconcile, versus taking at face value that the procurer will add meaningful and financially manageable erotic experiences to your time there and simply taking the leap because the range of descriptive reviews from others has not suggested it’s a bust. Better to fret a bit when all said and done if it did not go according to hopes than begin fretting from the get go wondering if experience will deviate from negative expectations. -
Austrian Movie Great Freedom Opens
Riobard replied to tm_nyc's topic in Theater, Movies, Art and Literature
Bleak but certainly riveting and an eye-opening history lesson as the criminalization and judicial cruelty was West Germany while East Germany did not have the same outdated legislation on the books. The type of ending is not unexpected but the specific way in which it is played out is startlingly clever. -
Aye, aye … so the utensil, etc, is NOT intended to be subliminally phallic, cummy, & colourfully rainbow gay ballsacky.

Another newbie in Brazil - March & April 2022
Riobard replied to Taikonaut's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I’m pretty sure my dishing about the rooms, all of which I must have used by now, mentioned the term ‘petri’ not ‘pretty’. Apologies if auto-correct occurred and I missed it. If you ever go to Dragon Club in Fortaleza you can catch a glimpse of what it could possibly be, actually upwards from 1 star. One thing 117 needs is new conventional mattresses that could be plunked onto the round ones in their frames and utilizing squared off sheets that don’t keep slipping off. -
Santo Domingo - Manny - Fees
Riobard replied to endlessdream's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Nobody is forced to use a procurer. All this exchange indicates is a finder fee of $25 that could, for example, amount to $5 per encounter if the escort goes ‘off grid’ for you an additional 4 times. There is no explicit rule against that model and every reason for the procurer to set an arbitrary fee according to the degree to which it is stretched out by a continuum of direct punter-escort negotiations over which the procurer has no control. If you go to a millinery shop and commit to one new hat per month it would make sense that the business model might differ compared to solely one annual Easter bonnet. You can drive both yourself and the proprietor crazy if you start a Facebook group dedicated to discussing prices among whatever customers are willing to join. There’s an inevitable range of input, from braggadocio over getting a good deal to lamentation about feeling cheated or gaslit. One always has the option to fashion roses out of Kleenex. To the point of where the escort fee cash ends up, my view is that is between the procurer and provider. The overall dynamic seems to be one of mutual distrust: client hypervigilance about upsell concomitant with procurer assumption his cut will always be potentially diluted by removing his middle-man status. If you want to figure out a truly invariant and appealing cost-savings charge in a stalemate context as complex as that in a country oriented to sex tourism, good luck with that. But who am I to stop braiding each other’s hair while comparing and contrasting prices? I don’t know for a fact that the same interactions never occur(red) for the trifecta of streetwalker call-girls, pimps, and johns as stereotypically characterized as we view it. Perhaps an elaborate board discussion and sharing of fees rendered will put an inquirer further ahead in what steps to take next. This forum, overall, is abysmally impoverished when it comes to the topic of commercial sex work pricepoints. Please sir, more. -
Convenient Gay Friendly Hotels in Sao Paulo
Riobard replied to Jake's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
Off topic from your specific question but you can map hotels on Booking, etc, to assess quality. However if the airbnbs you like are vacant before and after a single occupied night you have negotiating clout if you book for a longer period. You can message a host with your plans and request and they may cancel and refund the guest blocking you. It will show up in reviews as a cancellation done by the host but it would be up to them to weigh the pros and cons, one of which is single nights may mean more group party revelling, and greater wear and tear on the unit. They are taking advantage of the platform by pre-empting a host’s chance at better bookings when hotels are the accommodations historically set up for one-offs and more vigilant about controlling group occupancy. However, I have found sampling a range of airbnbs on a single trip a worthwhile endeavour to get a solid subjective impression of preferred places to stay on subsequent visits, but committing to at least 3 nights per place as is likely a reasonable average length for hosts, or even having a double-booking overlap. Plunking a single hotel night within the sequence obviously an additional hassle. -
It’s been far too long, 30 months since i got off in one of the GEH cubicles. I see you also updated St Moritz, thanks. I also used Motel Las Palmas fairly nearby for short-term encounters. Very inexpensive and more upscale than I expected; glad to see it’s still operating.

Cleanliness next to godliness …

Erm, ‘daring and sensual’ likely not taken very far, but with the showers a virtual secondary stage opp in the show area of both old and new setting I wonder why this concept did not take off earlier, assuming that is where they are getting wet.

Important to check, for RAT, the specific timing because some nations make it a bit easier: the calendar day prior to the calendar date of boarding as opposed to strictly within 24 hours prior to boarding. So 12 noon on a Thursday, for example, could work for departure 23:00 on a Friday and reduced the stress of same day testing depending on lab open hours. People are often in transit their boarding date.

Domestic airfares in Brazil - why so expensive?
Riobard replied to speedoo1's topic in Latin America Men and Destinations
I got a sealed cup of water from a dispenser on the bus in Brazil, not that I would want to stim my bladder to have to use the toilet. I must have slept through the gourmet meal service. LOL. The lie-flat did not suit my 6-foot frame because the angle is such that the middle part is slightly convex and the foot part drops down, so there is ergonomic pressure pushing up into the lower back. Passengers talking loudly and incessantly on their phones rather than texting, waking me up in spite of noise-cancelling earphones. Some watching things on devices without headphones. We live in an age of shared-space etiquette absence. The consolation is the bus travel savings covers one or more hot fucks at one’s destination.
