Cruising – The Boy Toy Guide To Porto Alegre Brazil Ah, the beautiful boy toys from Brazil, looking to hang out, hook up and play gay with all the hairy bears, terrific twinks and deep-throating daddies in the land! We all love Brazil. From the cheap prices (not only of escorts, you pervs) to the beautiful scenery to the hot bronzed men, Brazil has something for everyone. But all too often guys will stick to Rio, which is fun, but you can only cum in the Copacabana so many times before it just becomes old school! You want to expand your horny horizons and scope out the rest of the country – which, honestly, is bigger than the 48 states – and see where else you can have a sinfully delicious sexcation! Porto Alegre – Your One-Stop Boy Toy Shop! Porto Alegre, the state capitol of Rio Grande do Sol, is one of the wealthiest cities in Brazil and has the highest literacy rate of any city in the country. You'll see much less poverty here than in the rest of the country, and a lower crime rate. So, you'll feel safe for yourself and sorry for fewer people. That said, Porto Alegre is sort of a one-stop shop. There aren't a lot of touristy things to do. It's more of a place to cool your heels for a couple days while traveling from Brazil to Argentina. Because it's the port city connecting the two nations, you'll find that there is a mix of Spanish and Portuguese spoken here. The city is very fag-friendly, and you'll have no problems getting your gay on. Much of the scene revolves around the saunas – which are very inexpensive compared to Europe or America, but slightly more expensive than what you'll find in Rio. There are many threads on boytoy about Mezzininu- the sauna of choice for most of us and it is the only sauna I have been to in Brazil that seems to be built ground up from day 1 to be a true sauna. However, please do not spend every day and night only in this pleasure paradise. Get out and enjoy other places as Porto Alegre is an amazing city for many reasons! There are several gay clubs – whose names change about as often as a rich daddy changes boy toys – but all are easy to find and located in the neighborhood between Avenida Maua and Avenida Ipiranga. Just look for the rainbow flags and you'll know where to go when you want to go down. Cruising The Night Away Cruising is a popular sport in Porto Alegre – and you'll find an interesting mix between masculine men on the low-down and rent boys on the ho-down! These areas are pretty consistent. Check out: • The restrooms at Praca de Alfandega, a public part near the center of town. • The shopping center on Rua de Praia. This is just next door to the Praca; you can often cruise guys here and then head over to the park. • Parque da Redencao. At night this park is full of rent boys who will be more than willing to take you into the bushes for a few minutes. • Bourbon Assis Brasi. This shopping mall is also a hot cruising spot for those who like bathroom blow jobs. (And, really, if the boy toy is cute enough, who doesn't?) Turgid Tourism Porto Alegre is much more of a stopover point than a tourist mecca. You'll probably want to check in, check out the guys, do the hokey pokey with the boy toy of your choice, and move on in a day or two. That said, there are some fun things to do in the day while you wait for the nightlife to take you away. Taking the Linha Turismo bus is the first place to start. It takes roughly an hour and a half, and will go through nearly all the neighborhoods in the city. This will give you a chance to get the lay of the land, and understand how Porto Alegre is laid out so you'll be ready to get laid yourself at night. The biggest tourist site is the Monumento aos Açorianos – a giant 17-meter monument to the original city settlers. Far more impressive, however, is the Santuário Mãe de Deus church, which is not only beautiful itself but also offers fabulous views of the city, the port and the water. The downside is that no public transportation goes there, so you'll have to take a cab if you haven't rented a car. But by far the best thing to do in Porto Alegre is to watch the sunset over the Guaíba river. It is one of the most beautiful sunsets you'll find anywhere, and you can see it from nearly any location on the western side of the city. If you happen to be gaying around Porto Alegre in the summer (which is our winter) then hiring a boat to go on a river cruise can be fun. There isn't much in the sense of cultural events in the city, except in October when the Feira do Livro – South America's most respected book fair happens. This is your chance to get great deals on rare books, talk with authors, and meet smart boy toys! Porto Alegere – A Quick Stop To Hop On Cock! Whether you just want a break from the breakneck speed of Rio or are traveling on to Argentina and other points in South America, Porto Alegre is well worth a couple days of your time. And, remember that weekends are best as the saunas are filled with hot boys and often the weeks are a bit slow for paid companions. So, cruise on by when you are ready to cruise. You won't feel pressured to be a tourist during the day, so you can dance and fuck the night away. cc boytoy.com 2012 written in honor of tomcal who took me on my first trip to this amazing city!

Moses gives the correct answer. However, I didn't understand his last sentence. IP's are easy to switch but if you use proxy servers you can often see it is a proxy server by doing a search on the Internet

Bangkok attracts the tourists. Pattaya bars tend to attract the local expats. I have seen tourists in the bars but not to the extent of the bars in Bangkok. Plus, the bars in Pattaya are reasonable with regards to prices and off fees. For me, I love the bars and go often in Pattaya but I hate to feel the bar is fucking me before I get the boy in my bed. With drink prices near the price of drinks in a hot NYC disco and off fees sky high as well, IMHO the bars in Bangkok are not really looking to service the gringos. They are looking to take care of the Asian tourists who have money to spend looking at a show and buying drinks.

There is a little light switch button at the top of the reply box. Click that and it should allow you to see things fully.

For those of you that don't venture into other sections of the website, there is a great thread in the Latin America Forum. It is a must read. http://www.boytoy.com/forums/index.php?/topic/12567-new-year-trip-to-sao-paulo-and-porto-alegre/#entry73195

I understand being pissed. I truly do. It is only natural. I just don't understand when this happens to others time and time again, why they keep going back for more. The same result always happens. It is almost like the abused spouse syndrome.

I am sorry but all this is very amusing. Very intelligent men who I consider savvy and informed, even worry one iota about getting banned, getting back in, getting banned again, getting back. It is just very silly if you ask me. If someone does not want you on their site, move on. It is pretty simple. I don't go where I am not wanted. Life is too short for all that shit! IMHO

No problem. I understand when someone gets obsessed. I think you must have the hots for Snapshot. Was it love at first bite?

(As Townie is getting ready to hit Berlin, I thought it appropriate to place this here now) Tear Down The Wall BoyToys Fabulous Guide To The Boys Of Gay Berlin! Beer, boys, and bears, oh my! Then Im going to tell you about the wettest, wildest, and sexiest gay vacation spot in all of Europe fagtabulous Berlin! This is the gayest and kinkiest city in all of Europe, and the place to go when you want to party hard and cum harder. More than 300,000 gay men live in Berlin, which has five separate gay neighborhoods. Youll find bars and clubs for any and every type of kink you want to sink your teeth into, and find that the gays are out and proud all over the city. Youll find tons of boys making out with boys in the parks discover a gay sunbathing section of the citys central park called Queens Meadow and hang loose in hundreds of gay bars and clubs that are open all night long. Bears are the symbol of the city which is also known for the vast quantities of strong beer you can drink in any number of beer gardens especially if you cum and visit during Octoberfest. So, cum along for the ride, my pretties, and get ready to see why Berlin puts the man in Germany! Your cock will thank you! Schoneberg Schoneberg is the loudest, proudest and by far the most out of the five main gay neighborhoods in Berlin. This has been where the gays have come to play since the 1920s, and is where Bob Fosses Cabaret was set. Youll find rainbow flags on almost every business and building in Schoneberg including the snack bars! The section is located just south of the Zoo Street train station. When you first get here youll want to head over to Mann-O-Meter, Berlins main gay community center. Here youll find information on the most fabulous and spectacular circuit parties. Of course, at night Schoneberg is filled with divine drag shows, cockalicious gay bars, fabulous restaurants, and some of the cutest cafes in Europe. If you want to get laid right away, head over to Connections, which is part sex shop and part disco and features fives floors of nightly cruising with plenty of dark areas for you to find the meat of your wet dreams! Prenzlauer Berg If you like to get your gay on with the young and trendy homos, Prenzlauer Berg is where youll want to meet men and satisfy your cockaholism. Its a twink paradise and filled to the rim with gay students, trendy queer travelers, and the most cutting edge queer scene in Berlin. Head over to the streets between Senefelderplatz and Schönhauser Allee to find the gay bars, clubs and bookstores all of which are open into the early morning hours. The cruising scene in Prenzlauer Berg is intense and filled with skater boys, hipsters, young drag queens, and tons of leather boys and their daddies. Youll really want to look your best because the boys in Prenzlauer Berg can be very bitchy and you dont want them to bypass your balls! Kreuzberg How can any friend of Dorothy not like a gay neighborhood thats pronounced Cruiseberg! Kreuzberg is the home of the alternative gay community in Berlin. If you like your boys covered in tattoos and piercings or screaming about the beauty of anarchy or other radical political ideals, Kreuzberg is where youll want to cum! This section is also home to the Gay Museum which is a fantastic attraction that documents the history of queer culture in Berlin and is a sizzling hot daytime cockalicious cruising area! One of the most popular weekly events in Kreuzberg is the Wednesday night house party at Hungry Hearts which becomes cruise central as the sun goes down. Since Kreuzberg is in what was technically East Berlin, the drink and meal prices are lower here than in many of the other gay neighborhoods and the boys are a little rougher but that can be a good thing! Friedrichshain Do you like to go clubbing when cruising for cock? Then, you youll want to get your bitchy little ass over to Friedrichshain, the newest and clubbiest gay neighborhood in Berlin. Just a few years ago, Friedrichshain was a down and out part of town full of abandoned warehouses. Then, entrepreneurs got the idea to buy them up and turn them into some of the largest gay nightclubs in the western world. Be warned, however there is not much to do in Friedrichshain other than hit the clubs, and most of them arent full of happening homos until around 2 a.m. which is fine, since the clubs are open until very late in the morning! Tiergarten Tiergarten is the smallest of the five gayborhoods in Berlin, but also the cruisiest. Youll find a bunch of gay bars and clubs; as well as gay restaurants surrounded the Tiergarten Park. The park is very gay friendly and in addition to seeing boys who are clearly cruising for cock, youll also see older gay couples kissing or holding hands and just enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors. The bay and club scene here is older and less kinky than in the rest of Berlin, but if you just want to cruise or chill out in a low pressure gay atmosphere, you may find Tiergarten absolutely fabulous! Gay Publications Because the gay scene is so large and trendy in Berlin, keeping up with whats cool and where the latest circuit parties are can be a drag and not in a divine way! Your best bet to find out where to go to find the men of your wet dreams after you visit Mann-O-Meter is to check out any of the numerous gay publications you can find in the libraries and newspaper stands. Siegessäule is the largest and most reliable, and publishes an English language supplement called Out In Berlin. Inside Siegessäule youll find hundreds of listings for saunas, bathhouses, circuit parties, clubs and cafes. Its the first thing you want to read if you want to be the coolest queer to step off the plane! Another good publication is Sergie, which is glossier than Siegessäule and often has ads for the more expensive and trendy house parties and all night cruising clubs. Either one will help you on your never-ending cock quest! Chez Nous Dig if you will, the picture of dozens of drag queens in a campy Louis XIV setting in downtown Berlin! That, my darlings, is the charm of Chez Nous perhaps the best drag club in the entire Western World! Unfortunately, Chez Nous has become so famous that it draws a lot of breeders though one has to wonder exactly how straight you can be when you want to watch all the divaliciousness going on! Chez Nous has become so famous that drag queens from around the world compete to get on their stage youll see boys dressed like girls from Rio, Bangkok, Paris, New York, and fagulous San Francisco! Its almost enough to make me faint with the fabulousness! Checkpoint Charlie By far, the most famous tourist attraction in Berlin is Checkpoint Charlie. If you like spy novels or just want to think about stern Germen men in uniform youll like at Checkpoint Charlie which used to be the border crossing separating Germany into two countries and defining the front of the Iron Curtain. While once a terrifying place and the center of the Cold War it has now become the tourism center of the city. While the old checkpoint itself was demolished you can still see sections of the old Berlin Wall and check out a multitude of tourist shops. There is also a museum that documents both the history of the wall and how it was used in popular fiction in everything from James Bond to John Le Carre. Its a completely fabulous bit of history and an astonishing symbol of the end of the Cold War. Reichstag Building The other major tourist attraction apart from the five gay cruising areas is the Reichstag Building with its beautiful gilded dome. It was built more than 100 years ago to be the seat of Germanys parliament, but was taken out of use during the Cold War because Berlin was no longer the capital of the divided nation. After the Cold War it was fully restored to its former splendor, and is once again the center of the German government. When you get to the top of the dome youll have a divine view of the entire city but the lines can be very long, so you want to make sure you get here early! Its Time To Meet The Boys From Berlin! By now weve all met some boys from Brazil so why not rip open the Iron Curtain and head over to Berlin on your next gay vacation? You'll find kinky twinks, delicious divas and some of the best man meat east of Manhattan! CC boytoy.com 2012

Several years ago during the gay marriage debate in California one activist quipped we think we should have the same right to be miserable as straight people. The Kids Are All Right is a film that sets out to prove that point and succeeds very, very well at it. What makes this film such an important part of the ongoing gay civil rights movement in America is that it is essentially saying that gay relationships are no different at all from straight relationships and that gay parents are no different from straight parents. That the parents happen to be lesbians and not gay men is not important. You could make a nearly identical film with either gender. The film is billed as a comedy and while it is funny in some places that's a bit of stretch. It draws heavily on the works of John Cheever (particularly his short story The Swimmer) and on Eugene O'Neill (particularly Long Day's Journey Into Night.) The film takes place in the suburbs, but it's not the suburbs of The Brady Bunch. It's the suburbs where secrets are kept, lies told and old family tensions build up until they explode. What's fascinating is that the lesbian couple, played by Annette Benning and Julianne Moore could be any set of parents. They have the same concerns as anyone else. They are worried about their daughter going away to college. They are stressing about if their son might be gay. The one mom drinks too much (though in the tradition of Cheever and O'Neill this goes mostly unsaid. Functional alcoholism exists in this world, unlike the world of most Hollywood movies where alcoholics are completely dysfunctional.) In this set up of suburbia Benning takes on the traditional husband role as provider working long hours as an OB/GYN while her wife takes care of the children. Moore's character wants to break out of this cycle and become her own person but her efforts to start her own business are dismissed by Benning and not taken particularly seriously. To talk about the main plot point is not giving away a spoiler - since the title of the film comes from a song where the first line is I don't mind, other guys messing with my girl. The adultery here though is particularly painful. The movie starts out with the couple's son and daughter deciding to find out and track down who their sperm donor was. They discover that he's Mark Rufalo, playing a dude who owns his own organic farm and restaurant. This is probably the most clunky device in the film, given that we know that Moore's character has to have an affair with someone and fucking the gardener is the biggest cliché in all of these types of stories, so we know right off the bat that, lesbian or not, she'll end up in his bed one way or another. Ruffalo's character can be taken two ways. He's either a completely oblivious stoner dude who is just going with the flow or he's a manipulative bastard who sees these kids coming into his life as a way to get laid. I tend to go for the latter, for while he never does anything about it, his hands rest just a little bit too long on the shoulders of the daughter's best friend in at least two scenes. Even before Moore starts banging him Benning's character sees him as a threat. And, why wouldn't she. Up until this point she's seen herself as the dad to her children. Someone with an actual, if narrow, claim on the title threatens to undermine her sense of self within her own family. And, of course, when she finds out that the biological father of her children is fucking her wife it psychologically undermines her position even more. This all culminates with Moore finally screaming at Benning and the kids that marriage is a long haul, a lot of hard work and full of a lot of shitty moments and not some magical romantic fantasy. Being a Hollywood film the couple does stay together the way many, if not most, real couples do when infidelity strikes. Along the way there are a lot of very real moments in the film. The most obvious is when Benning and Moore have sex while watching gay male porn. Sexuality is a spectrum and up to 30 percent of gay male porn is consumed by women, so it makes sense that some of those women might be lesbian (particularly when you consider that one of the main reasons straight women don't like straight porn is they don't like comparing their bodies to those of the actresses. A lesbian couple would end up not only comparing her body but also the body of her partner to those of the women on screen.) More subtle is how Benning's wine glass starts out with just a little more wine than anyone else's and gradually has more and more wine in it with each passing scene, to the point where her glass is almost overflowing, while everyone else has about half a glass. The couple are also not portrayed as magical gays that can make no mistakes and are perfect people - one of the most enduring Hollywood cliches. Instead, they are real and have both their good points and their bad points. The best example of this is when Moore has no problem at all firing her Mexican gardener and accusing him of being a cocaine addict, simply because she thinks he might suspect she's banging Ruffalo. The movie doesn't really have an ending which makes sense. It starts out with a couple who have a less than perfect marriage and ends with their marriage less than perfect. There is no magic moment when things are suddenly OK. The kids may be all right, but, the movie argues, marriage and suburbia are often not, and the psychic horrors that live behind closed doors exist no matter what you've got between your legs.

I agree with you and have heard this often over the years. Not just on this board but most boards. Someone coming in new is often seen as an unknown quantity and they have to participate a bit to be accepted fully. The same is true for children changing to a new school or a worker starting a new job. Initially, most people try to be friendly but very leery. I can assure you shamahan, that you are welcome here and I did not find any of your posts as negative. I agree with you about this time of year. The High High season is hard for me to take. I much prefer when not so many are there after the New Year but my favorite time is rainy season as there are even less tourists.

I love theater. I love musicals and plays. I wish I were in NYC more to see them all. When I was in college, I spent a few weeks in London on a theater tour of London. We saw different plays each night and had actors and directors meet us after the play for drinks and a chat. One night, this very handsome man who has just been knighted by the Queen met with us. He was playing the lead role is 2 different Shakespeare plays at the theater. He chatted and I loved listening to him. Can you name that guy? I thought I would go into theater in college and I got the lead role in Little Women. (No, not a female role) But, I got stage fright and discovered that acting was not for me. I never went back down that road. Lucky, please keep us informed on what you see. I appreciate all the stories and reviews from these plays.

LOL You don't know me very well. I would say that my first year in Thailand that I spent well over 200 nights at the Intercontinental Hotel in Bangkok but then many would consider me a braggart. So, I'll just say that I do know people that spend this many nights in hotels. I know many that do. I didn't compare anyone. You did. Shame on you! I understand that. All I ask is that when someone else posts something nasty and unkind about anyone that you at least understand why I roll my eyes. I find those things as simply unnecessary. We all live such different lives and we can all learn from each other. I guess I just have a much higher desire to learn from everyone than most people do.

I welcome you and your posts on this board. I have no issue with that at all. However, when I see an entire thread dedicated to teasing another member, it just brings back such horrid memories of my youth and those school yard bullies. Tears are flowing down my cheeks right now just thinking about all the teasing and nastiness. I agree that you have different points of view. We all do and that is what makes sites like this great. I did not know you were on SGT. I honestly do not read the other boards very much unless someone sends me a link to read a thread. I didn't even know you were on other GT related boards and a known quantity. However, that is great that you are so knowledgeable about the boards.

No no, I am so sorry. I just saw your post and it reminded me of him for some reason. Perhaps it is your writing style and not your hot off the presses stories. He and I are one. But, since I don't know the he you are referring to, I'll just take the blame for peace sake. I am me. Are you you or he? Is he you or me? Are we all the same?
