A Hostboy's Tale Chapter One: In The Village My story starts out years ago, when I still lived in the small village several hundred miles north of Bangkok. I grew up in a traditional Thai household. We did not have much money, but we were happy. Still, like many of my friends, I yearned for the excitement of the big city and the adventures that could be had there. How to make that happen, however, was not something I put much thought too. Education is expensive in Thailand and I knew my family would never be able to pay for the training that I would need to get a job in Bangkok or any of the beach resorts that have become so popular with the wealthy tourists who have discovered the paradise that is my homeland. So, I contented myself with my existence. At times I would dream of becoming a monk when I got older – I was always fascinated by the orange robes and the look of serenity and peace that seemed to follow the holy men wherever they went. Little did I know that my life would soon change – and that I would not only experience all of the wonders that Bangkok has to offer, but travel around to all of the best resorts and meet fascinating people and live a full, varied and interesting life. My mother named me Kama, which means the "Golden One" in Thai. It is one of many names that can be used for either a boy or a girl – something that would be of great advantage to me years later – but I had no way of knowing that at the time. My adventures began when I was 16. It was a clear warm day in the village and we had all sat down to eat our afternoon meal when suddenly there was a great commotion. It seems that Chet, a man who had left the village years ago in search of finding his way in the world had unexpectedly returned. What was even more amazing was that he drove up to the village in a car – which was very rare for the people in my village. Chet was also dressed in obviously expensive western clothes. The entire village was excited – it seemed that Chet had found the fortune he had been looking for! The truth was that Chet had been gone so long that most people did not expect him to return ever. When he first left, people had been worried about him – and skeptical that he would be able to find a job and support himself among the urban Thais. Obviously we were wrong. The people in the village soon swarmed around him and it was decided that we would hold a feast that night in Chet's honor. We were sure he would have glorious stories to tell about what life had found for him. When I was little, Chet had always been one of the nicest of the older children and I was as delighted to see him return as anyone else. While he tight, western clothes were confusing, the joy in his face was not. As soon as I could I ran up and gave him a huge hug. Not only did Chet hug me back – but for the rest of the day I noticed him looking over at me – at times winking as though he had a secret to share. I wanted to talk to him but like many younger Thai guys, I have always been shy about initiating conversations, so I kept to myself and simply watched Chet talk to adults from a distance. The feast that night was amazing. Chet had brought back food from Bangkok so there were many dishes that we had not eaten in a long time. During the meal Chet sat close to me and made me feel like a part of the attention he was receiving. The meal did make me very sleepy – as I had not feasted like that in many years. So, far earlier than normal I retired to my small room and quickly entered dreamland. Imagine my surprise when I was awakened only hours later by a knock on my door and found Chet on the other side. "Hello Kama," he said. "I want to talk to you." How could I say no? Chet had become what I always dreamed of being – a success in the outside world. He took me on a walk outside the village where we could be alone. Once there he told me to sit down. "Kama," he said. "Do you still dream of leaving the village one day and living in the city?" I was so flattered that he remembered how I used to talk about my hopes and dreams. Not only that, but he was interested in what I had to say! I hastily admitted that I wanted to go, but assured him that I understood that I would probably never be able to. "Don't be so sure," he commented before doing something that would change my life for good. I sat there dumbfounded as Chet leaned in and started kissing me – on the lips! I don't want to give a false impression here. Unlike in the west there are few taboos against men showing other men affection in Thailand. I knew that some men enjoyed this, but had never expected it to happen to me. For that matter, I was shy and had never even kissed a girl. Despite my shock, I found myself responding to his kiss, and when he tongue slipped into my mouth I took his lead and did the same to him. We were soon in each others arms, and to my surprise I felt my cock stiffen in my pants, and soon felt he cock pressing against me through his tight western jeans. After a minute or two, Chet pulled away from me. "Did you like that?" "Yes," I responded - blushing, but unable to hide my bodies natural reaction to his advances. "Then I may be able to show you a way to live in the city and find the life you have been looking for," Chet said. With that he leaned into me again, and took my head in his hands while he kissed me. How could I not kiss him back? Not only was Chet my idol, but he was willing to help me live my dream. I would do anything he wanted and more, just to make him happy! This time the kiss was stronger and Chet started rubbing the bulge in his jeans against the bulge in my pants. The feeling was very erotic and seemed to make my cock grow harder than it ever had before. The more we kissed, the better the sensations flowing through my body became. Soon, Chet started to gently play with my nipples through my shirt – which only caused my heart to start beating even faster. Wanting to return the favor, I soon started touching Chet's nipples as well – which is when he started to moan and hump his crotch against mine even harder. Then Chet started pulling off my shirt and removed his own. His lips made their way to my neck as our naked smooth torsos rubbed against each other. I could feel his male nipples rubbing against my own as our cocks continued to stimulate each other through the confines of our pants. This was the first time in my life I had experienced real lust as well as the first stirrings of what I thought could one day be love. I bucked my own hips against his crotch to make the sweet feeling in my cock get even hotter. A few minutes later I heard the sound of Chet's zipper and felt him press against the back of my head. Confused, I opened my eyes and realized I was looking down at the tip of his very erect dick. Chet pushed my head downwards. I don't know how, but something deep inside me told me exactly what he wanted me to do – and made me realize how much I like it. I allowed Chet to move my face down to his throbbing manhood – which I gently started to kiss. His moans and the small bit of liquid that started to emerge from the tip of his dick told me that I had understood his desires. I had played with myself before, so I tried to simply do what felt good to me. I placed my hands on the base of his dick and started moving up and down while my lips explored the tip of his cock. After a minute or two Chet once again pushed my head down and I realized that he wanted me to take more in my mouth. I let him guide his cock into my throat. It felt like heaven. There was a musky scent coming from his crotch and he dick felt like steel. I could not believe that I was the one who made him so excited. His hard dick was like the greatest gift I had ever been given. Chet then started to make love to my face while I rested my hands on his strong inner thighs. His hands played with my hair while my own cock throbbed with the beating of my heart. Part of me craved the release that I knew was soon to come. I wanted to taste every drop of the life forced that lived within his big cock. Then, before he could explode in my tender throat, he pulled my head off his dick. "You sure you like that," he inquired. I could do nothing buy nod my head. "I think that means yes," he said, pointing at my obviously hard cock in my pants. Chet then leaned over to me and started to pull off my pants. I was willing to do what ever he wanted so I lifted up my ass to make it easier for him. Within seconds we were both naked. This older boy now leaned over and kissed me again. This time much more tenderly than before. "Lean back, on the ground," Chet said. I complied and he was soon lying on top of me as we continued to kiss each other passionately. As our tongues danced I felt Chet's hand move between us. He started pushing my legs apart and then upward towards the sky. Next I felt his hand on his cock, which was getting closer and closer to my ass. "Just relax," Chet whispered into my ear. "This is going to be heaven." I could not believe how excited I was. So much precum was oozing out of my piss slit that if I had not known better I would have thought I had already reached my climax. I heard the sound of plastic being opened. A condom wrapper was on the floor. Then I felt the tip of his penis probe at the entry of my virgin ass. I spread my legs farther apart. Nothing had ever felt this right before. I had never wanted anything as much as I wanted to please Chet at this very moment. Ever so slowly his dick opened up my ass and with each tiny thrust he went deeper and my cock throbbed harder as it bounced against my belly. Soon I started moving my ass up in order to take him into me faster. After a few minutes I heard Chet sigh and realized I could feel his balls resting against my butt. I felt fully penetrated and truly alive for the first time in my life. Then the real event started as Chet slowly began moving his cock in and out of my man hole. Each time his dick was fully in me, I could feel my own cock throb. Each time he pulled out I felt empty and thrust my ass at him to get him to push back inside. My own cock was rubbing against his belly and chest as we made love. I could not believe how good it felt to be taken by another man. I kept bucking my own hips in time with his dick to try to get him to fuck me harder and faster. Some part of me had been waiting for this moment my entire life and I needed him to love me, fuck me and take me. When he realized that I was not in pain and was enjoying loving him, Chet started to kiss me harder and fuck me faster. With each increase in tempo I felt hotter and hotter until finally Chet let out a huge moan and started to shoot his load. He pulled out, threw off the condom and let his cock shoot on my back and ass. I could feel every single burst of cum as it blew off back and my butt. Finally, his dick softened and the juice slowly stopped flowing. We stopped kissing and just held each other for several minutes. Then he looked me straight in the eye and said, "Tomorrow, I will tell you how you can get to Bangkok and find the life you deserve." It made me want to kiss him again. cc TotallyOz 2006-2010

Sao Paulo is one of my favorite cities. I do love Rio and enjoy the saunas there. Sao Paulo is a bird of a different feather. Sure, everyone likes to go to Rio de Janeiro to sit on the sandy beaches and check out the well tanned beefcake that always seems on display. But, there is much more to the Brazil gay scene than just the Copacabana in Rio! In fact, one of the most intense gay friendly cultures in the world exists in Sao Paulo – following generations of immigration from Europe and smaller South American countries by people who did not fit in back home, and were attracted to the strong, business friendly economy. Because of this, there is a wealth of languages spoken in the city – and you can easily get by in almost any native tongue, even if you don’t speak Portuguese That said, like anywhere, it is a good idea to learn at least a few key phrases in case you end up in an unexpected situation and to show respect for your host country. Sao Paulo was founded in 1554 by Jesuit missionaries who wanted to convert the native population to Catholicism. It became and independent recognized city in 1771 and has kept growing ever since. Most gay travelers who know Sao Paulo come here for the first time because of the legendary International Gay Pride Parade. This festival is beyond anything you may have seen anywhere else in the world. Every June more than 1.5 million gay, lesbian and transgendered travelers descend on Sao Paulo to hold what has become the largest Gay Pride Festival anywhere in the world – making similar events in New York and San Francisco seem like a cruise in the park! The parade starts in front of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo and moves along the Avenida Paulista towards the Praça da República. It covers a distance of a little more than 3 kilometers over more than five hours. It starts at 2 pm, but most people start showing up in the early morning hours to avoid the last minute rush. In addition to the parade, there will be cultural events and musical shows with live bands. The parade itself is hosted and opened by mayor. What’s truly amazing about the Sao Paulo International Gay Pride Parade is that it is so new. The first parade, in 1997, only attracted about 3,000 people. But it has grown exponentially over the years into an enormous carnival like atmosphere. This is a huge change in gay cultural acceptance from the late 1930s when members of the Institute of Criminology used to come to study the “passive pederasts” (as bottoms were then known) and the “real men” (read, “butch tops”) who they had sex with. Today, gay culture is well enshrined in the city, which boasts numerous gay and lesbian film festivals and a tolerance and acceptance of homosexuality that is surprising given the macho culture. One of the most exciting events, Sao Paulo Fashion Week is held twice a year in Bienal de São Paulo. In recent years it has started attracting some of the world’s top models and designers, who party hard amid the gorgeous locals. Be warned that getting around Sao Paulo can be difficult – always allow as much extra time as possible to get to any meetings or rendez-vous. The city was built without a well organized planning system – so traffic jams are common at nearly all hours of the day and night. The city itself is an anomaly for South America – it is huge, pro business and supports a giant, successful economy. There are more than 33,000 industries represented in the city – which boasts a population of more than 10 million people – making it the fourth largest, if least known, city in the world! For decades the largest industry in Sao Paulo has been coffee production. In fact, it was this industry that attracted much of the working migrants from Europe who settled here in the late 19th and 20th centuries, looking for secure jobs at decent wages in a city with a comparatively low cost of living. Sao Paulo is very spread out – covering an area of more than 530 square miles. This means that there is always room for new immigration and the gay and lesbian cultural scene is constantly expanding. Like Rio de Janeiro, one of the most popular activities in Sao Paulo is hitting the dozens of beaches that dot the 622 kilometer coastline. Here you can find any type of beach you want – from large and crowded meat markets, to small intimate shores to simply lay down in the sun and work on getting as brown as the natives. By 2004, there were more than 100 recognized gay bars, restaurants, cultural centers and other rainbow themed establishments. With nearly 300 movie theaters, more than 70 museums and dozens of open parks, you are not apt to ever get bored in Sao Paulo, even if you are not in the mood to look for the 10s of thousands of hot studs that roam the streets at night looking for fun. You will also have a much wider choice of “types” to choose from than you would in other cities around the world. Because Sao Paulo has been such a magnet for immigration from around the world, it has become a true mish mosh of cultural characteristics and looks. In other words, while there are any number of tall, dark traditional looking Brazilian men, there are also blondes, brunettes, blacks and backpacking Euroboys to choose from! The newest and trendiest sector of the gay community is called Frei Caneca where you can find any number of gay friendly theaters, restaurants and cruising bars. Speaking of cruising, if you are looking to hook up with random studs and eager guys, we suggest Park Ibirapuera. Not only are there lots of crusiers in this area, it is also home to tons of male eye candy. From joggers, to roller bladders to cute bike boys to fuel your fantasies! Just be sure to always practice safe sex. The ever changing community and thousands of tourists make practicing safe sex in Sao Paulo mandatory. The largest gay area is downtown around Praça da Republica and Largo do Arouche . This is where you will find the largest concentration of gay bars and clubs, gay friendly shopping and hot guys. This is also where you will find tons of drag shows (frequented by both a gay and straight clientele) and, of course, the ever present hustlers. Like any tourist heavy community in the world, you need to keep aware of your surroundings here to avoid getting ripped off – but it is the place to go when you are in the mood to go down. If you have a fat wallet – and fabulous clothes to go with it – take a stroll down to the Jardins part of town. This is where the richest and chicest gays in Sao Paulo hang out. While there are wonderful gay bars and super exclusive restaurants in the Jardin’s area, it can also be a seriously bitchy culture to hang out in. That said, if you like hanging out with the cool boys and have the clothes and looks to pull it off, you can have a fabulous time! No matter what you are looking for, Sao Paulo is a great destination for any gay traveler. You will be in the heart of a huge cultural center, with a gay friendly native population and tons of different types of studs to choose from. cc MaleEscortReview.com 2006-2010

Has anyone been spending any time in Sao Paulo lately? How is LaGoa?

Recife, the Brazilian Venice Recife, or reef in English, was mentioned for the first time in History, when, in a letter dated March 12, 1537, the Portuguese Crown donated that land to Duarte Coelho. The letter cites the location as an anchorage for ships where, later on, a village would be built. Its first name, Recife dos Navios, referred to the sandstone reefs, a marine rock formation present along the whole coast of Pernambuco state. The location was a privileged one and it wasn’t long before the Dutch noticed it: in 1630 they arrived with 56 ships and thousands of men, commanded by Diederick van Waerdenburg and Henderick Lonck. The Dutch burned Pernambuco’s Province capital Olinda to the ground, forcing its inhabitants to flee to nearby Recife, located only 2.5 miles away. When Count Johan Maurits van Nassau-Siegen, aka “the Brazilian” arrived in Recife in January 1637, he immediately began to transform the city, building palaces, edifices, numerous bridges and beautiful gardens. Nassau, never known for having a small ego, renamed the city Mauritsstaad, after himself. Under his administration the first bridge was built in Brazil, inaugurated in February 1644. The colony flourished, for Nassau supported the development of sciences and art, pioneering studies on zoology, botany and tropical diseases. Unfortunately, his generous expenditure didn’t make him popular among the stingy Dutch, who decided to impose their own rules for the occupation, cutting expenses they saw unnecessary to begin with. Count Maurits had no intentions of submitting to the West India Company rules: he would stay if he could have it his own way, ruling the colony as he saw fit. The disagreement resulted in his return to Europe, in July 1644. When the Portuguese colonial government finally forced the Dutch out, in 1654, the new capital of Pernambuco had 300 buildings, among them two and three family homes, the Church of the Holy Body, the Government Palace, Customs Headquarters, a prison, and also the first Synagogue built in the Americas. The first immigrant ever to set foot in Manhattan Island came from this pioneer Jewish settlement in Brazil. Later on, in 1836, Recife would caught the attention of Charles Darwin: “the city was built on top of narrow and low sand banks, separated one from another by channels of salted water. (…) I doubt we can find anywhere in the world a natural structure with such an artificial appearance. (…) There are several kilometers of absolute straight line, all standing parallel to the coast and never distant from it, (…) a breakwater built by cyclopean hands”. The arrival of the Portuguese Royal family in 1808, and the consequent opening of all Brazilian ports to commerce with friendly nations, deeply transformed Recife. The arrival of British capital demanded the modernization of the port, now used to export the majority of the Brazilian production of cotton and sugar cane, due to its closer location to Europe. During the 19th Century, the majority of the population leaving in what was Recife then were the poor: small merchants, fishermen, artisans and dock workers. The elite could be found in other areas, like Benfica and Boa Vista. The beginning of the 20th Century saw Recife being reformed, the original nucleus that gave birth to the city being demolished with no consideration or respect for its history. The 16th Century Church of The Holy Body, for instance, was demolished, the same cruel destiny was applied to Santo Antonio and Conceição archways, which gave passage to the pioneer Mauricio de Nassau bridge. The new Recife was built to follow the French urban ideas of the time: streets were widened, sanitation plans were created, and among the 1,180 buildings in existence then, 205 were demolished. The city reform attracted, at the beginning, the elites living elsewhere, but not for long: with more ships tracking the port came also more mariners, and with the mariners, more prostitutes. Besides, the elites of that time weren’t used to live in apartment buildings, so the interest in the new city center waned away almost as fast as it emerged. The post WWII era saw the center of Recife occupied by merchants and prostitutes, which used the buildings with no preoccupation with its conservation. Ironically, the lack of interest by the elites in the city center was the factor responsible for its architectural preservation. Later on, in 1987, a new urbanization plan was adopted, aiming at the area revitalization. Today, the 220 square kilometers of Recife is populated by more than 1.5 million people. Like other cities of the Northeast (and also Rio de Janeiro), the majority of its population is poor or very poor, the middle and upper classes representing a small minority in power. Nevertheless, Recife’s atmosphere is one of permanent happiness and freedom, its people are very upbeat and ready to party at all times. Considered the biggest cultural center of the northeast, and the third most important gastronomic center of the country, the Brazilian Venice offers the tourist hundreds of places to see and things to do. The gay tourist can feel home here, where there is even a famous gay clown, the first in the whole country, the 41 years old local celebrity Mauricio Santana. Gay sports are also emphasized by the Metrópole Gaymes, created in 2004, “the first GLBTS (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Sympathizers) sports competition in Recife”. The second edition of the event took place this past January 22, in the sands of the gay section of Boa Viagem Beach, in front of Hotel Savaroni, a well known and frequented gay area in Recife. The Gaymes are a mockery of regular sports competition, not to be taken seriously, just another occasion to gather and party. Thousands of people showed up to watch competitions like “goal kicks” (contenders must try to make as much goals as they can, penalty style), “chicken toss” (competitors must toss plastic chickens at a distance, the biggest distance achieved wins), and the traditional tug-of-war. This year the event became an annual gathering, sponsored by the Mayor Office, with gays from Brazil and all over the world invited to participate and have lots of fun. Speaking of fun, Brazil is probably the country with the majority of gay parades in the whole world. Judging by the numbers, you’d think that the whole Brazilian population is gay. This year there are more than 50 parades already booked in the Gay Calendar. Beautiful Olinda, just a couple of miles away from Recife, booked two: the first one in March 4, and the second in June 30. The Recife Gay Parade usually takes place in September, between Praça Oswaldo Cruz and Páteo de Sao Pedro, in the city center. These three gay parades attract, annually, thousands of people, among gays and lesbians, transsexuals, drags, curious heterosexuals, the undecided, the ones still in the closet, and also sympathizers, all willing to have lots of fun in a very high energy charged atmosphere! Carnival takes by storm both cities, Recife and Olinda, and is an unforgettable experience. Contrary to the Carnival taking place in Rio de Janeiro or Bahia, where everything is carefully planned and well charged for, in Recife and Olinda Carnival is still a spontaneous popular manifestation. Of course there is planning but the roots of it were not destroyed by the capitalist idea of charging people to participate, like elsewhere. The city tried, a few years ago, to transform the event on a paid one, but the population seriously revolted against it, so Pernambuco remains one of the states were Carnival still is what is supposed to be: a guttural, cathartic collective manifestation where anyone can be a part of it, an event where collective demons are exorcized and energy batteries are recharged. In Recife, Carnival starts before the regular calendar, with several important club events like Baile dos Artistas, where the King (Rei Momo) and Queen of Carnival are elected yearly. This ball takes place at Clube Santa Cruz, and is sponsored by the Mayor Office. Baile dos Estandartes, organized by Galo da Madrugada, takes place at Clube Português. The Municipal Ball (Baile Municipal) is another famous one, with customs competition and the election of a queen for the night. The traditional Balmasquê is a national happening with elaborate masques competition and also the election of Garota Recifolia, also sponsored by the City of Recife and Recifolia Blocks. Club events are the only gatherings charged in the city. In Boa Viagem Beach, Carnival is a street event, like everywhere else in the city. Trios Elétricos (bands cruising the beach avenue, singing Carnival rythms in non-stop fashion, attracting the participation of the public) are the norm, with abundant free distribution of “batidas”, a mix of the strong sugar cane liquor with local fresh fruit juices, a scene that would terrify Pilgrim oriented American law enforcement!... There are more than a dozen of Trios Elétricos all over the city, you couldn’t miss them if you wanted to! Some, like Trio do Camisão, distribute over fifty thousand condoms to the population, reminding everyone of the dangers of sex without protection. The Trios Elétricos presence in Boa Viagem is an assurance that the beach is “the” place to hang out during Carnival. Considered the most democratic Carnival in the world, Recife’s Carnival attracts thousands of foreign tourists every year, offering a mix of several Brazilian musical styles like frevo, maracatú, ciranda, caboclinho, rock, manguebeat, e reggae, a diversity unknown in the rest of the country. There are more than 300 organizations taking care of this business, organizations known as “blocks”, besides eight decentralized foci and five special projects, all to make sure that Carnival here is unsurpassed by any other state in the country. Galo da Madrugada (Early Morning Rooster), the biggest Carnival block in the world, cited by the Guinness Book of Records, open the streets festivities in the early hours of Saturday morning in São José neighborhood, a wake up call to thousands of people who will follow the block, dancing and singing, until the end of its presentation. Every corner of the city, every neighborhood is taken by the electricity of hundreds of blocks, formed decades ago by Carnival lovers, receiving more and more participants every year. Anyone can follow a block on the spot, the only demand here is that you must be willing to have fun and take it easy. Street Carnival is always a great occasion to meet new people, mingle with the locals and even find that hot guy you dream about. The city of Olinda, only 2.5 miles away from Recife, is known to gather the biggest street Carnival of the planet: you definitely want to be here during afternoons or nights. The biggest Carnival block in the city, “Virgens de Olinda”, gathers yearly over 400 thousand people, something you don’t want to miss. During Carnival, its streets are packed with dancers, people wearing very colorful costumes, all following the street blocks and musical bands playing frevo, maracatú, afoxé and the traditional giant dolls. Olinda was the first capital of Pernambuco state, and here you’ll see kids guiding tourists, explaining the city history to visitors in carefully composed verses. Even if you don’t understand Portuguese, you don’t want to miss these children guides, for they are very well trained and disciplined, and will take you to places you should visit, like Mercados da Ribeira e do Varadouro, the Mirante do Alto da Sé, the Seminário, the Museu de Arte Sacra, among several colonial buildings offering an example of the architecture of Olinda’s past. Both cities, Recife and Olinda, are always busy, offering year round excellent options of nightlife. In Recife, every Tuesday night is Páteo de São Pedro night, in the city center. If you like to dance, this is the place to go with lots of music produced by local afoxé groups, capoeira societies, reggae and rap local bands. About 1,500 people, mostly tourists, participate in the weekly event, coordinated by Brigada Zumbi dos Palmares, and sponsored by the Mayor Office. Before you go to the clubs, take a peek at Galeria Joana D’Arc, in Avenida Herculano Bandeira, where you can have a dry martini or the popular caipirinha, at hot bars like Revolução Industrial, Hai Kai (Japanese menu), and Creperia Anjo Solto, where the party energy is always present. Anjo Solto is also a reference point for gays, a place where you can gather information about what is going on in Recife’s gay scene. Galeria Joana D’Arc is open from Tuesday to Sunday. Boa Vista is considered the gay neighborhood of Recife. Probably because of its very center location, Boa Vista saw, in the last decades, the multiplication of gay businesses around its area. The crossing of Rua José de Alencar and Rua Jeriquiti, in the very heart of the neighborhood, is the most circulated area in Gay Recife nights: here anything goes! While cruising here, don’t forget to visit the local mall, known as Shopping Boa Vista, warmly called by the locals Shopping Boa Bicha (Good Faggot Mall, at Avenida Conde da Boa Vista). The Shopping is open Monday to Saturday, up to 9pm, and is a great place to meet hot studs, twinks, even the common closet gay, a definitely abundant species south of the Equator. At the food quarter you’ll find another hang out area: here gays usually cruise “in search of”, or simply use the place as a gathering point, where the night just ahead is carefully planned. Still in the area, you never know what you can find at the erotic movie theatre Cinemix (Rua da Soledade) nearby Edifício Módulo, its reference point used in Boa Vista. Cinemix is open seven days a week. Gays who live in Boa Vista usually hang out at Pirandello (Rua José de Alencar) Pihousen (Rua Jeriquití) or Sete Cores (also on Rua Jeriquití), simple and cozy bars where hospitality is the main concern and the food is always good. These bars are your options if you just want to talk to friends, relax and try to hook up with someone before you go about whatever business you have in mind. Questão de Gosto is another option nearby, if you are curious about local comfort food, a great place to eat aipim, also called macaxeira (yucca), ingredient always present in their dinner menus, Monday to Friday. The most famous and not to be missed gay club in Recife is the Metrópole Dance, the queen of the night, preferred by locals and foreigners in the city for the last four years or so. Located in Rua das Ninfas, different nights attract different looking people and different music. Metrópole is always open on Fridays, Saturdays, and the night before any holiday. Every night is strippers night show, with participants coming from all over the country. The club was already spotted by Revista Veja, the most important weekly magazine in the country, as “the best gay club in the whole Brazilian northeast”. Also in Boa Vista, Cabaré Kit is a party you don’t want to miss. Inaugurated less than a year ago, Cabaré Kit happens once a month always on Thursdays, gathering electronic music, arts and fashion, two permanent fashion shows, several other art interventions during the night, besides go-go girls dressed in 20’s style, shaking their butts at the sound of the music, instigating even further the always present party atmosphere. Rua Corredor do Bispo is a favorite on Sundays. Here you want to hang out in two bars: Define and/or Meu Kaso Bar (MKB), this one located at nearby Rua Oliveira Lima. Even though architecture and infrastructure is not exactly their main attraction, MKB tends to be the favorite between the two, when it comes to Sundays program: their nights offer a mix of disco, brega and pagode two local music styles. The highs of their nights are the drag queens and performers shows. End of August/beginning of September. Time to visit the annual Semana de Artes Visuais do Recife, a huge arts programming sponsored by the city government, with all sorts of exhibitions: paintings, sculpture, performances, movies, drawings, conceptual art, videos and interventions galore, even a Gay ET: last year a participant, allegedly a gay artist from the recently discovered planet Sedna, exhibited gadgets from his planet, selling everything at very cheap prices. Hmmm… I wonder how much is the Real worth in Sedna!... You can’t leave the city before visiting Mercado São José, an old penitentiary transformed in regional cultural center. There you can purchase excellent examples of local artisans products like sculptures, leather bags and sandals, clothing, paintings, have a delicious lunch and collect information in any of the cells, about tourist events and places to visit during your stay. Mercado São José, located in Rua Floriano Peixoto, in Santo Antonio neighborhood, is open from Monday to Friday, between 9am and 7pm, on Saturdays from 9 to 6, and on Sundays from 10am to 3pm. If you like ceramics you can’t miss the Oficina de Cerâmica Brennand, in Engenho São João, Várzea neighborhood. This is a permanent exhibition of 1500 pieces created by ceramist Francisco Brennand, located in the midst of the ecologic Mata Atlântica protected area. Brennand is considered the best ceramist in the whole northeast of Brazil. The area also contains a plant producing 20 thousand square meters of ceramic per month. Open Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm. Also a must to visit is the Paranambuco (Rua Bom Jesus, Recife neighborhood), a space reserved for local culture propagation, functioning, at the same time, as stores and cultural center, where you can gather information on artisans and their products. Here you can buy products representing typical artistic manifestations of the interior of the state, like the clay dolls of Caruarú, ceramic artifacts from Tracunhaém and hand made delicate linen from Passira. Still in Rua Bom Jesus, you want to pay a visit to the first Synagogue established in the Americas, the Sinagoga Kahal Zur Israel, built in 1637. This street is a very important one, historically speaking, linking US and Brazilian histories forever: the first Dutch settlers to arrive in Manhattan, in the 17th Century, the first builders and immigrants of what we know today as New York City, came from this street. Also deserving your attention are Barracões de Santo Amaro, the first cemetery of Pernambuco, located in the neighborhood of the same name. Here, the barracks assembled by the colonizers were used to store black slaves as soon as they arrived from Africa. Many died shortly after arriving, as a consequence of the horrendous long trip conditions. The ones that died were buried here, near the barracks. No wonder this was to become the first cemetery of the city. Also in Recife you don’t want to miss Arraial do Bom Jesus, Paredão de Frei Caneca and the Arrecifes, the large extension of reefs that follows the whole city coast. Here you can still see the cannons installed by the Portuguese and the English, in the beginning of the 18th Century, besides the ruins of two fortresses built by the Dutch. You can reach the location by car or by boat. Gorgeous Olinda, considered World Heritage by Unesco, is a special chapter when it comes to art, gathering a huge number of artists who usually work in the streets. The local artistic production includes anything, from the traditional giant dolls to sculptures, hand made colorful fabrics and wall rugs, masques and paintings. We suggest a visit to Mercado Eufrásio Barbosa, in Varadouro neighborhood, and Mercado da Ribeira, in Cidade Alta. Mercado Eufrásio Barbosa is housed by what was once the Casa da Alfândega Real, where European products used to be sold. The neighborhood name, Varadouro (gold stick), is a reminder of the costume of exhibiting the best European fabrics available, hanged in long wood sticks with pieces of gold on the edges. Mercado Eufrasio Barbosa is open from Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 5:30pm. On the other hand, the Mercado da Ribeira building (Rua Vieira de Mello) dates from the 16th Century. Some history books claim the building was used as a commerce gathering point by slave traders in the past. Today, it houses several artisans stores, wood carving artists, a bookstore and the drawing specialized Oficina Guaianazes. In front of the building you’ll find the ruins of the Old Senate, where, in 1710, Bernardo Vieira de Mello first manifested in favor of the adoption of a Republican form of government for Brazil. Open daily from 9am to 18:30pm, with some stores remaining open until 9pm. The cute little stores of Alto da Sé are another very good shopping option. Besides, when you reach the Igreja da Sé, you’ll be at the highest part of the city which offers the most breathtaking views of Olinda, a view you’ll never forget. If you still have time, take a look at Igaraçú, a very old city located 18 miles north of Recife. The oldest church in Brazil, a small chapel, is located here. Igaraçú is also near the famous island of Itamaracá, located at the same distance from Recife. Separated from the continent by the Jaguaribe River, Itamaracá is the place to visit if you are tired of the agitated city life: its beaches are very calm, offering natural swimming pools and reefs, surrounded by palm trees and beautiful sand dunes. This is a very sought after beach by practitioners of nautical sports. No matter what turns you on, Recife and Olinda offers you everything you can think of and much more. Waste no more time, come to Recife. The Brazilian Venice is waiting!... cc 2008-2010 maleescortreview.com

Anyone heard of this company? They have a nice treadmill at Super Sports. It is a 4.0 horse power treadmill. It is made in China. I can't find any reviews for the treadmill. Anyone know of it? Or bought something similar at Super Sports.

I learn so much on this site. Thank you guys for the expert advice. I am a tipper. I always have been. Not sure I could not tip but you have given me a lot to think about. Thanks!

Hey Tomcal, did those boys look familiar to you? They looked really Brazilian to me.

Gross. JK I love a shaved, cleaned and trim bush. If it is perfectly shaped, I just love to touch and play and lick.

Camp is one of my favorites. Very cute movie. I have not seen Summer Storm. I have been looking for it but no luck.

What about Jeff Stryker? I'd love to see a statue of him. I saw him in a play in NYC. I forget the name (help me those of you with good memory). But, he was unforgettable in the play (by those with good memory).

Lucky, sorry for your problems. I have an amazing chiro in LA that I fly into see from time to time. I think he is the cat's meow! PM me if you want his info.

Thank you for the great video. I also enjoyed it. Axiom brings up some interesting questions about bareback videos. It seems that most gay video companies do bareback videos as well. Not all of them but many of them. Having owned a video store that sold fetish videos for many years I will say that the bareback titles sold faster than any other videos. The twink watersports videos were next in the lineup. Many years ago, several companies came out and stated that they refused to do bareback videos and they went even further to say that they will not hire any performers who have ever been in a bareback video. I wonder if these companies have now changed their stance? Or, if they are still holding on to their statements? I see that Bel Ami has some great videos and they mix things up with condom and condom free videos. I know that there are companies that only do bareback videos. I am curious about companies that have never done a bareback video. Are there many left?
