Jay, I love Salvador. It is one of my favorite cities. I did a few saunas on my last trip and gave some reports here. Also, be sure to check out the turtle sanctuary north of the city. It was simply amazing and there is a great hotel near there that would be fantastic to stay. The area is very quiet and not very lively but the ocean is beautiful and I enjoyed it!

Thanks for the post on my favorite vacation destination! I love the place as well. Did you take guys from Jupiter? If so, how were they?

I agree. Very moving and beautiful. I loved that she seemed so accepting of all the changes that took place over the years.

I loved the story. http://www.latimes.com/nation/great-reads/la-na-c1-ff-santa-fe-dressmaker-20150703-story.html#page=1

I will see it and I'm excited to see it. I love the actors and can't wait to see them nude. Well, OK, not nude but I have a good imagination. Years back I went to Stellas all the time and I always found the strippers in their costumes and dance numbers interesting. And, it reminds me of what was in Magic Mike.

I agree with some things. I do not like the facilities at all. In fact, I detest them. But, I do like the guys. They tend to be younger and more twinky than the other saunas. I didn't find just the regular looking guys when I went but I guess it is all when you go and what you are into. I hate the fact they don't have showers in the room. I also don't like the stairs. But, I have had more fun here than the other places on my last few trips. For years, I loved 117 and I still do but my last few trips, I felt like I was in a place that all the boys from Pointe came to. Just the way I felt. Thank you for sharing and I can't wait to check things out myself!

It will be interesting to see how the site keeps going after this blow. I have expected this for years and they lasted longer than I thought they would. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-visa-backpage-20150701-story.html

Great post!

I agree but Bernie Sanders is really doing well in the polls here. The more they talk about this, the more ignorant they look to the masses. For politics, I hope Donald Trump stays in the longest. He is the greatest thing for Democrats since white bread.

Florida photographer Clinton Brentwood Lee sent an amazing message to a prospective client. After affirming his support for same-sex marriage, Mr Lee was sent a message by a woman who had booked him to photograph her wedding. She said: “My fiancé and and I support traditional marriage between a man and a woman and don’t want our money going to a place that supports otherwise. I would like to inquire how we can get our retainer [deposit] back from you.” Mr Lee, of Brentwood Photography, responded: “I would say this disappoints me, but I actually find this to be a good thing because our company would now not like to work with you as well. “It’s not because you have a different view from us, but it’s because, since you don’t like and support gay marriage, no one else should be able to have it. “That’s like me not liking broccoli, and demanding that everyone else in the world should not have broccoli either!” He went on: “At Brentwood Photography we see love in all forms. Now as far as your retainer goes, I hope you’ll read the first article in the contract you signed stating that this is nonrefundable. “But don’t worry I’m not going to keep it! “I have decided to donate your $1500 to GLAAD, a group created to help and support gay rights. “So let me be the first to say thank you very much for your donation and support for this great cause!” http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/06/28/this-photographer-had-the-best-response-to-an-anti-same-sex-marriage-client/

Love the buns!

I am happy to have the legal right and I know I deserve it as it is just and right. But, I also know that the losing team will start to question every aspect of the law and it seems the buzzwords are Christian Liberty and not requiring pastors to perform the ceremonies. It will be interesting to see in the coming weeks and months exactly what happens and how this decision effects the next election as all the Republican candidates denounced the decision.

I loved this show last season. This season's opener was hard for me to get into. And, to be honest, I just didn't get the story. What did I miss?

Can you always upgrade on AA for those rates?

Wow. This just seems to keep falling lower and lower doesn't it?

The SCOTUS just made same sex marriage the law of the land in the USA. It is a very exciting day in USA.

The SCOTUS just declared marriage the law of the land for all its citizens. Gay marriage is now possible in all states.

Did anyone watch this weeks episode? What did you think?

You had me scared when you were talking about slipping him something. For a moment, I had a Bill Cosby moment and thought the worst but then you brought it back home with slipping him your number. I do think this is a good way to do this and again, I think Gaybutton has given excellent advice. I'd only add that if he have another Thai boy, have him chat him up to see if any interest.

Porcao in Ipanema is one of my favorites. Scenarium is also fun and lively. ihpguy took me to a few unique places and one was within walking distance of the JW Marriott and was very good por kilo and I ate there many times but can't remember the name.

I love visiting them and see them everywhere I go. It is not about religion for me, it is about the experience and the history. I just visited some in Istanbul and I was in awe! Also, visited a few in Jordan last month and also loved it.

The Hippie Market on the weekends is always fun for me. There is always paragliding in Sao Conrado. I did it once and it was memorable. Scary but memorable. Ihpguy took me once to a great park that had tons of hustlers and was across the street from a very old fire station. That was fun and great to see. I think there is a thread here with photos from that day. I hope other contribute as I love Rio but often get stuck in the saunas.

IMHO, one person should not be allowed more than one persona on any board. I have always said that when there is definitive proof of a person using multiple handles, they should be deleted. But, that is a high burden.

For some reason I rarely find upgrades using miles on the USA to Brazil flights. I always do going to Asia. I think that is always one of the main reasons I spend more time in Asia.

Perhaps I am naive or just an idiot, but I have never understood the idea of saying all new members are trolls. I don't see this and don't understand it. Yes, someone like Z is a reliable source and when he speaks, I know he speaks from information that is obtained over years of travel to Thailand. But, one day he was a newbie on the boards as well. I think it is hard to tell when someone has multiple personalities unless they are the constant yes man to another name's opinion. But, without an admin to verify this, it is very had to tell. We can all speculate and guess. But, that is not definitive. Z is often right on many things but I often think a little too quick to jump the gun on trolls.
