Cute and to each their own but my general experience with the, say, under 21-crowd is that they are clueless both in general and in bed. A bit of experience is a good thing. I certainly did not have many of the talents/abilities that I have now when I was “over 18”. It takes a while to figure out what you like and what you like to do with other people.

The thought that was going through my head is that the experience I am having with this particular guy is similar to experiences I have had with guys from Brazil but never really with someone from Thailand before. I do agree with you about “content” too though. He is very comfortable being photographed which is again typical of Brazil but not Thailand (or it wasn’t when I last spent any real amount of time there) but also typical of those that grew up with social media and smart phones. My recollection of Bangkok contains memories of guys that should have no body image issues whatsoever (and in some cases had been on stage in their underwear shortly before) darting under the covers to avoid standing naked for any amount of time in the hotel room. Update: As I was writing this I just asked him how old he is and he said 29. He looks younger. I was expecting 23 or 25. I am not sure that changes anything other than that if you apply the one-half plus seven rule, he is just barely age appropriate for me but whatever. I don’t have any plans to go to Thailand any time soon anyway.

While doom scrolling earlier this week, X showed me a picture of a guy that looked like the identical twin of my first boyfriend from more than 20 years ago. Well, identical except for a paw print tattooed on his ass which is both kind of odd and kind of hot all at the same time but I digress…. His IG profile was linked so I messaged him there and basically said I thought he was hot and that he reminded me of someone I used to know. A day later he wrote back and we have been chatting ever since. His English is excellent and, yes, he “makes content” but also has a science/engineering day job in Bangkok and is genuinely interesting. I am in my early-40’s now and have not spent much time in Bangkok recently but did use to travel there somewhat regularly 10 or 15 years ago so I know how the place works and, well, this is not what I remember. Is this a thing that happens in Bangkok now? Have others had a similar experience? Did Thailand start taking lessons from Brazil recently?

Has anyone been to this sauna? The sauna’s IG advertises “boy interativo”? A large, clean, good gay sauna similar to steamworks in Chicago opening in Rio and filled with hot Rio guys before I am completely aged-out of that scene would be amazing.

Yeah, this forum is definitely not what it used to be which is a shame because I definitely prefer Brazil to the other side of the world. In fact, I don’t even understand how someone could like the other side of the world better. I am headed to Bangkok for a few days though soon so perhaps I should check in over there. I have a slight preference for uncut.

I have no idea why I just wasted 20 minutes of my life reading this awful thread but I don’t think Riobard is a physician. I suspect he is a medically oriented PhD of some sort, possibly an epidemiologist or a pharmacologist. I have no comment on anything else other than to say that it would be nice if the members of this board would expend their energy writing about their actual experiences in Brazil rather than whatever this is.

Does anyone have any experience with massoterapia.volupta on IG? Does he actually know what he is doing as far as massage goes? I was thinking of contacting him during my next trip.

I will be in Rio for much of that time. PM me.

My bussing history is basically zero but I like new things. I’m going to give this a try during my next trip.

What service did you use? I want to do this but haven’t sorted out how to get to there from Ipanema.

Has anyone been to Buzios recently? I’m planning to spend a few days there soon. Lodging recommendations as well as suggestions on how get there from RJ will be greatly appreciated.

Huh….? PrEP most definitely works (attached). Also, I suspect your message was posted with inflammatory intent but, ignoring that, I think you will find that the percentage of the population interested in going sem camishina corresponds directly to the amount of time and accessibility of PrEP in the locality. Have you used Grindr recently in an American city recently? I have and it’s been quite a while since it connected me with someone that thought using condoms was a good idea.

I never Godon but I did find another very attractive CMU model. Do other beside Goson also work in massage shops?

Hotel chili in SP is a very popular gay sauna on Friday nights. Rudimentary Portuguese will greatly improve your experience.

Thanks for the kind words and point taken. In a feeble attempt to make up for my posting indiscretion I will share my activities from yesterday which was a Sunday in São Paulo. Two laps around Ibirapuera Park in the afternoon. Dinner at Simbalae Bar & Burger on Rua Guaiçuí. Simbalae is overpriced for what it is but I’ve been eating there occasionally for years now and I like the bartender and it’s what I happened to be in the mood for last night. There are numerous other restaurants to eat at on this small street and the whole place always has a festive atmosphere. Even if I can’t whole heartedly recommend Simbalae to all, I would recommend visiting this street when in São Paulo. Arrived at Lagoa around 6:30 and met Rian from Minas Gerais. He has a gorgeous pau with a lean toned body and is versatile. If he wasn’t a smoker, he would be perfect. Still, I left happy around 9:00 with plans to see him again possibly today. The going rate at Lagoa these days seems to be 200. @Xclay are you an expatriate of some sort? De onde?

I don’t do much cooking and I almost never bake but last week I had cause to buy chocolate chips for someone else that does do that sort of thing. The bag of chocolate chips was almost $15 USD. I’m not actually sure how much chocolate chips are supposed to cost but that certainly feels like too much. Yes, I’ve planted a cocoa [probably a tree but I’m not really sure] on my rooftop deck while I’m waiting for the widget and cog factory down the street to be built so that I can get a job there but it doesn’t seem to being doing so well. My life in fake-America was good but it is time for a change.

My research indicates that I can invest R$1,000,000 which is less than $200,000 (or at least it is for the time being until the current administration finds a new and improved way to drive the economy off a cliff) in Brazil and obtain permanent residency. Could I buy an Airbnb as an investment in Ipanema, hire someone to manage it in the near-term while I sort out what exactly the terms of my divorce with Merica are going to be and then, um, drink caipirinhas and stare at the ocean and exchange bodily fluids with nominally 28 year olds that have a toned swimmer’s body and a mocha complexion until the sun explodes or I die, whichever comes first? If you are curious, I am in my early 40’s but have skills that can be employed remotely. I am also very comfortable owning real estate as an investment. Has anybody out there done this? It seems almost too easy.

So, I went to HotelChilli Saturday night. It was decent but I think Friday nights are better possibly because of a lower entrance fee as someone else mentioned. The clientele was still ages 18 to 80 but skewed more toward those that are middle aged rather than 30-something’s like the last time I was there. The complexion of the clientele was also much lighter than what I recall.

Well, these are not the responses I expected from the two of you, lol… I can’t really put this into words but I kinda sorta feel like kink is the opposite of the passionate sex Brazil is known for. And now that I have needlessly offended at least a few people with that comment, could someone more articulate than me respond with the concept that I cannot seem to fully describe?

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro. This is probably my twelfth or thirteenth trip here so I’m by no means a Brazil virgin but an experience yesterday made me think and I’d be curious to know what other people’s thoughts are as well. Yesterday I met Joao on Grindr. He is 24 years old, slim, tall and has a gorgeous thick uncut pau. Because this is Brazil, I wasn’t shocked when he made it known that he thought visiting my hotel after work and fucking me would be a good idea. What did surprise me though was that after he arrived and our clothes were on the floor and he had already spent a good deal of time going down on my ass and then going inside me, he timidly asked if he could play with my feet. I don’t really have any kinks myself but I’m openminded and, again, he does have a really nice pau so I certainly wasn’t going to object but in any case what hit me after he left is that this was the first time I encountered any kink whatsoever in Brazil whereas in America it’s pretty common to cross paths with people that are into whatever on Grindr or, at least, that’s been my experience. Has that been other’s experience as well? Does anyone have any thoughts on why kink is so much less prevalent in Brazil?

Has anyone had a recent experience with Summer? Asking for a friend…

Is this a gay sauna (non-GP) like Hotel Chilli in SP? I’ll be in Brazil for the two weeks in late-October.

It happened to me once before a few years ago too....

If this is a turn on for you, I strongly suggest you visit Brazil. Brazil has what you are looking for in spades.
