May trip to RIO

Featured Replies

Rio is Rio...

Weather was not the best except yesterday, Saturday....Beautiful beach day

The saunas were decent...Thursday night was not good at all at Pointe....117 was a little better

Definitely saw some old regulars and a few new guys...

Friday was decent at 117...a good crowd....Point was terrible...I could go to sleep there

Inflation is definitely happening in Rio like it is around the world

Hung out in Vidigal with a great friend....great food, music, sights...views!

All in all....great trip

Already purchased a ticket for October

When you say inflation is happening, do you mean the boys rate?

The rates for the boys hasnt changed much in 10 plus years....Same rates depending on what you look like

Great. How come?! The cost of living must have increased by folds

Ten plus years ago, the rate is around R50-80. Doubted the decent looking ones are willing to do a full service with this price nowadays.

Republica park (daytime) the guys ask for 80-100 and there are some diamonds in the rough.....

That doesn’t include the cost of the nearby love hotel (because to take park trade back to your place would be pure insanity). But the love hotel is about 30 - 40 reais for. 1-2 hours.

If you have to ask, then that means no, for you, it’s not.

In 2012, prices at 117 / 202 were 100 - 150 reais and the exchange rate for BRL:USD was 2.09:1.

Today’s prices are 150 - 200 reais, and the exchange rate is 4.73:1.

There was nothing available for 50 or 80 reais at 117 or 202 in 2012. You could probably get something for 80 reais in 2012 from the twinks and average looking guys at Meio Mundo. 80 was possible at Salvador saunas back then too.

10 "plus" years ago ... yes New Meio Mundo/Fragata. Boys next door type - personally I feel that at that period, the selections there are much better than 'recently'. Think I paid 80 with gozar then. I remembered occasionally got offered 50s but unfortunately those are not my type.

I paid anywhere from 100 to 150 R....have paid that amount since I started going to Rio years ago...

I have no idea what the rates were in the 80s and 90s when I was a kid

Not sure what the for cruising in a park would be in Rio when they have perfectly safe saunas with a huge variety...

Some of you guys just have some interesting (weird) tastes....But to each his own

I remember a guy that I met in Rio from USA, loved Cinelandia area, park, street, porno theatres, Corujinhas (who didn't like that place).....

I used to pick up guys at night across the street from Republica and had awesome times with them....inside the park, only daytime. 

Maybe it's the thrill or getting someone NOT in the sauna or not paying the expenses of the sauna? How many times have you been to a sauna and ended up with nothing....yet wasted your time and money.

I don't get going to the beach (during the day, lol) But lot's of people do it..... people are weird and straight people are even more weird 😆

Interesting data points. I skipped 2013 and remember in 2014 being surprised that the guys at Lagoa were FIRMLY asking for 100. Therefore, I think in 2012 I was paying 70-80 and I wasn't going for average guys. 2014 was also the first time I went to Rio in a while so I can believe the rates had been higher in Rio for a few years, back then when it was full of tourists.
