Nobody else is a fan of Etta Bar or Pato com Laranja…? Those are my two favorites in Rio.

Any of vocês planning a trip to Brazil in March? It looks like I will be there March 24th to April 1st. My plan is to visit Porto Alegria for a couple days and spend the rest of the time in Rio.

Beautiful Creature lives only about 10 kilometers outside the tourist zone so I generally get him an Uber when it’s time to part company. Uber in Brazil is very affordable but, yes, your thought is a good one and should have been added to my list of possibilities. Are boys that live far outside the tourist zone something you have experienced frequently in Rio? Army Boy is the only encounter that I have had (that I know of at least) with someone that lives far outside the tourist zone. His delight in my company is of course my preferred choice here but, well, I like some of the people I work with too for various different reasons and that would probably be a much more accurate way of putting it…. if, in fact, there is any degree of truth to it at all. I miss Brazil already and I’ve only been home now for a couple days. Spending approximately half my time in Rio is quickly becoming a goal. If others could point me toward some of the decidedly unsexy nuts and bolts info needed to figure out if I can actually accomplish that goal, I would greatly appreciate it. Has anybody out there opened a bank account in Brazil? What is a good website to use to research renting an apartment or buying a condo in Ipanema? If I sit in my Ipanema condo and yap on the phone and type emails to earn USD, at what point does the Brazilian government determine that they get to start taxing my income? I am old but no where close to old enough to retire. Also, I like my job (usually) and don’t even want to retire… I just want to work from Brazil.

So, a Beautiful Creature not named Wesley arrived at my hotel last night. As planned, we attempted to create a new gay boy and then went out for caipirinhas and sushi. After dinner, he suggested going back to the hotel which was somewhat unexpected but certainly not unwelcome. The return to the hotel resulted in kissing and touching and ultimately Beautiful Creature cumming all over my chest which apparently is a thing you can do when you are 25 even if you just did that same thing (albeit not on my chest) less than 2 hours ago. I am not 25 and knew that reciprocating would be impossible so I just toweled off afterward and then got back into bed with Beautiful Creature who proceeded to curl up next to me with his head on my chest. This was very, very pleasant but after 15 or 20 minutes he started to snore lightly and I realized he was asleep. He slept soundly through the night or at least he did to the best of my knowledge until we both woke up this morning and he positioned himself in a way that suggested that he very much wanted me to suck him off which I did because why won’t I do that? Goal for next trip: Improve my Portuguese enough so that I can good naturedly make fun of Beautiful Creature if he pulls a stunt like that again. This will of course be after I comply. What is the purpose of this post? There isn’t really one other than the fact that I am now sitting in the airport killing time on my way home and the following thoughts have been going through my mind: 1. Beautiful Creature and I have attempted to procreate six or seven times now (no luck yet but we will keep trying) during the three trips I have made to Brazil so our “negotiations” these days are generally oriented more toward whether or not we are going out to eat and, if so, what type of food we will be having. Spending the entire night together has never been discussed. 2. I have had sex with a lot of people but have actually spent the entire night with fewer than ten. For example, I have traveled to Thailand about ten times and spent the entire night with exactly one boy while there. 3. The three trips I have made to Brazil have now resulted in me spending the entire night with two different boys. On my first trip I spent the entire night with a boy from Minas Gerais who spoke zero English that I met at Lagoa. That had a lot to do with the fact I strongly suspected he didn’t have anywhere to go that night if he didn’t spend it with me though. I also didn’t mind having an excuse to pay him more than the R$100 he had already enthusiastically agreed to. 4. I’m not the least bit upset about any of this and Beautiful Creature is certainly more than welcome to just fall asleep in my bed again, if he would like. 5. Overnight with random guys isn’t my thing but we also certainly don’t need to be making plans to meet each other’s parents either for it to happen. 6. I did my homework before making my first trip to Brazil and my recollection is that for those of you that do have a thing for overnight, it can be challenging to arrange in Brazil for a variety of reasons. 7. Beautiful Creature might have decided to spend the night because he was angling for a larger tip or maybe he was just a little drunk and sleepy. He also seems to be very interested in tagging along on my business trip to Barcelona this summer and might have been attempting to audition for that. In the end, I guess none of this really matters because whatever the reason, it was an exceptionally pleasant way to end the trip. I would post a picture or two of Beautiful Creature but he has informed me that he is now “retired.” Don’t ask…. I did and all I can tell you his definition of retired is substantial different than mine.

I agree that we have somewhat similar taste in lean, toned men. I get turned off though when they cross the line from swimmer into muscular though. I also prefer versátil but have been know to compromise on that point when I think it’s in my best interest. I disagree that we would fight though. Brazil is filled with men that are lean and toned and like to have sex with other men. In fact, a lean, toned, young gentleman not named Wesley is on his way to my hotel now. We are going to stick our penises in each other and then go out for sushi and caipirinhas. It will be a good time. I wish I had started traveling here sooner. I love Rio de Janeiro.

You have a sharp eye. Two years later, he has somewhat more lean muscle and is now even better looking in my opinion at least but, yeah, that’s him. Now, if he would just quit smoking so that he would stay beautiful for longer….

The direct answer to your pergunta is that I was looking to change the template in Grindr which does not appear to be a thing one can do. The indirect answer is some combination of Hometown, U.S.A. has more than its fair share of tall white boys that I can meet on Grindr, do “things” with that may or may not involve a fully clothed activity first of some sort and then never see again. Granted, “things” in Hometown, U.S.A. generally don’t end with me leaving in still sweaty running clothes after being rejected as a sexual pervert but, still, that’s really just all the more reason I don’t want to be dealing with this sort of thing while here. Also, had I not met Jean yesterday I probably would have actually gone to 117 last night and instead met Amazon Boy a day earlier and had amazing passionate sex with him instead, well, one day sooner. I did not need to spend half a day of my life traveling here to find Jean who I don’t happen to have any pictures of because he blocked me and all on Grindr but please just use your imagination based on what I have written and, trust me, the image you have in your head is accurate. Now, compare that image to the attached. See, no matter how good at giving head Jean is, there is just no way he can compete with Amazon Boy. Lastly and in fairness to myself, I do want to point out that I did have the presence of mind and self-awareness to title this post First World Problem. I get it, I’m complaining about what was a very, very good blow job from a guy that I was into at the time he was giving it to me. I fully understand that.

He didn’t miss out on anything or at least in his mind he didn’t miss out on anything. Some tall white boys are only into other tall white boys that are approximately their own age. I’m mystified by this too but it does appear to be a fact of life. The worst part was putting my still sweaty running clothes back on and walking back to my hotel in them after being rejected (albeit politely since he was Canadian after all) for basically being some sort of sexual pervert. Minutes after I left, he blocked me on Grindr too.

I want to change my Grindr profile such that it says homem rather than man, etc. Does anybody out there know how to do this? I suspect it’s not possible since I have been fiddling with the app for the past 15 minutes and have had no luck but thought I would ask anyway The reason I want to do this is that earlier today I meat Jean on Grindr. Jean is a 30-something tall white boy from Québécois. Jean speaks both French and English. Jean takes care of his body and is an avid runner. Jean has a professional sort of job in finance/law and probably makes more money than I do. In short, your mother would love Jean. Jean liked that I have a professional sort of job managing projects that involve math and science. Jean liked that he could communicate with me because I speak English and he good naturedly made fun of me for being an American (deserved). Jean liked that I also am a runner and asked if I wanted to meet at Posto 10 and run to Posto 4 and back with him. Since this is Grindr, he also mentioned that he would really like to go down on me and have me cum in his mouth afterward. Jean and I met at Posto 10 and ran to to Posto 4 and back. After the run, we went back to his hotel, showered together and, well, if somebody that you find attractive really wants to give you a blow job, I have generally found it’s a good idea to let them. This was no exception and he did a very, very good job while I looked out over Leblon Beach from his hotel room. I tried to return the favor but he was only interested in sucking me off. After we finished completing what was apparently Jean’s very specific sexual fantasy, he suggested that we go out to dinner tonight. I said that I had planned to go to one of the saunas tonight and asked if he wanted to do that and dinner. He said he had been to a bathhouse in Toronto a few times to which I responded that this would be somewhat different. Jean cringed somewhat and said he didn’t think he would be up for something like that. In any case and like I said, this is very much a first world problem but if anybody knows how I can change my Grindr profile while I’m in Brazil to avoid “problems” of this sort, it would be much appreciated. I’m not here to meet boys my mother will like.

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro. Army Boy left about an hour ago and I am at the Pato com Laranja drinking a caipirinha now. I suspect many of you will be disappointed by this post but, well, this is how the story ends. Army Boy figured out that he could take the L2 train from Pavuna and meet me at my hotel in Rio de Janeiro. So, to all those that were hoping read about me adventuring outside the tourist zone with my limited Portuguese, your out of luck. What did happen though is that a very cute Army Boy arrived at the front steps of my hotel at about 13:00 this afternoon. Since he took the train here, he was dressed in civilian clothes. So, to all those that were hoping to read of my explotes with a man in uniform, you are out of luck. After he arrived, Army Boy and I went up to my hotel room and did gay stuff that resulted in the exchange of certain bodily fluids, took a nap and then exchanged bodily fluids a second time. The experience was most excellent. He was passionate and the amount of fluid that a 19 year old can produce when he is excited is truly amazing. To those of you looking for literary erotica though, well, I’m sorry and to those of you translating this into a different language, I probably owe you an apology too. The first sentence of this paragraph is going to be a disaster to translate. Afterward, Army Boy and I started to talk some and it became clearer and clearer than Army Boy wasn’t looking for reais but a ticket out of Brazil. For instance he knew that pretty much the only way he could get a visa to travel to America was if we were in engaged. Fantasies for me are good. In fact, they are pretty much the main reason I travel to Brazil. Fantasies for him aren’t okay though which is why I don’t think I will be seeing Army Boy again.

I just meant that Will Prado is a “very hot bottom” as @spoonsuggested and he is also an excellent top or at least that was my experience with him. Will is versatile.

I found him to be excellent at all the gay stuff.

I wasn’t impressed with Mezziniu when I went to PA in October. If you do decide to spend some time in PA though, I suggest looking up Will Prado. The afternoon I spent with him while in PA was amazing. He is pradopoa30 on IG.

Army Boy was happy when I told him I was going to be there in December rather than January today too….

I’m sorting out the details now but it looks like my January trip to Rio is going to be rescheduled to the week before Christmas. If others will be in Rio then, pls PM me.

I was planning a trip to Medellin but put it off because I was unsure what the quarantine requirements in mid-2021 were there and went to Brazil instead. I still want to go to Medellin. You see there was this guy I met years ago while on vacation in Miami from Medellin and I am sincerely hoping the rest of the population looks something, anything, like him but I digress…. In any case though, I have fallen hard for Brazil, especially Rio. And, now that I’m getting somewhat close to being able say big-boy sentences in Portuguese, it’s not going to be easy to get me to go somewhere else anytime soon. Between Duolingo and the gay slang I have learned from my new friends in Brazil, I expect my next trip will require significantly less pointing which is a good thing.

Grindr has been amazing for me in Rio (and a dud in SP oddly enough) but since it also works well for me in Bangkok too, that isn’t really what I was try to get at. I was more thinking of swimsuit models from IG or army boys that I happen to randomly cross paths with on Twitter. How do I start the conversation? Usually it’s nothing more profound than, “você é lindo.” which just is really all the more reason that I am puzzled by this phenomenon.

At the risk of derailing my own thread here, I’ve been to Thailand about 10 times in the past 7 or 8 years and, yes, I have met some amazing guys a few of which I have stayed in touch with and seen multiple times. None of my trips to Thailand included starting conversations with super hot guys - that should want nothing to do with me - via social media and then actually meeting them for an afternoon or night in exchange for about the going rate at a sauna. What is it about Brazil that makes, “Well you are about 15 years older than me and I’m not for hire (or at least not clearly for hire) but since you land somewhere on the spectrum between not repulsive and slightly fuckable, yes, in exchange for R$200 (and probably dinner) I’ll have incredible passionate sex with you that will leave us both exhausted.”? That’s not a thing in Thailand or at least it’s not a thing that I ever experienced in Thailand yet it’s happened multiple times to me in the short time I’ve been traveling to Brazil now. Yes, I already am able communicate better in Portuguese then I ever could in Thai but I really don’t think that is it. It seems to me at least like there is something in the Brazilian culture that makes what I described acceptable that just doesn’t exist elsewhere. Am I off base here (or maybe just incredibly luck when in Brazil) or is this something that others have experienced too?

Yes, my army boy is the top in the video. He says he is versatile in real life though which I intend to verify when we meet.

Is this version any better? I converted the file to mp4 format. 0abf6f2f-f7b6-4df1-9aed-c7d8f99dd9aa.mp4

Me too. My trip isn’t until early next year though so it’s going to be while until we all find out how this ends. This is a clip from the video he made with his friend (also 19 and also a soldier but not drop dead gorgeous like him) yesterday. FullSizeRender.mov

Let’s say I met a very attractive 19 year old soldier online that looks incredible with both his uniform on and his uniform off. Let’s also say (hypothetically of course) that this soldier would like to meet me near his base since it is difficult for him to travel which is close to the intersection of BR 493 and and BR 040. I have made two trips to Brazil and can speak very basic Portuguese. He is really cute and I very much want to meet him but I am wondering if I’m getting in over my head here. Thoughts? Has anybody out there that is not fluent in Portuguese made an expedition like this outside Rio’s tourist zone? If your wondering, we have video chatted several times so I know he is real and he has proposed a motel near his base to go to after we meet.

I also could not get in contact with MD last time I was in SP. I think they have gone out of business. If anybody knows of any decent massage places in Rio, please share.

I’m not huge on labels but, for what it is worth, I identify as bisexual.

If anyone does happen to know, I would be interested to know how women typically go about hiring men in Brazil too. I assume it’s not by badgering their gay friend in America for contact info from his recent trips to Rio.
